Hello! I am Kara with
Kara Zylstra Photography
I am so glad you're here!
Why choose me as your photographer? With a decade of experience, I've photographed hundreds of newborns, families, and maternity sessions, as well as many seniors and weddings. I take newborn safety seriously, having completed specialized training, and my studio offers client closet stocked with maternity wear and everything needed for newborn shoots. I also provide coffee, drinks, and toys to keep your little ones entertained, creating a relaxed environment. My aim is to ensure your session is enjoyable and stress-free, allowing you to treasure your images and the memories they bring. I want your to enjoy your session and LOVE your images.
why choose me?
Since 2012 I have photographed 100's of newborns and families. I have captured tons of love stories and wedding days. I am here to capture your important moments and make sure you have beautiful images to remember those days that were so important.
Photography started as a hobby when my oldest was born and I began taking photos of her. Within a few years it turned into this. And I love every minute of it. Capturing your most special moments is my favorite thing. I specialize in anything family related. I love showing mamas-to be how absolutely stunning they are. I am honored to be trusted with your brand new baby & overjoyed to give you beautiful photos for you to remember how tiny they were. My absolute favorite thing is to hang out with your families in a sun-drenched field at sunset and capturing all the love. Spending your wedding day capturing all the beautiful love filled moments of your day is one of my favorite things.
I have a studio on main street in Lake Odessa for newborn, baby, maternity or lifestyle sessions. We own land outside of town I use for outdoor sessions. You might even get to meet some of the cows at your session.
I will also travel to your home or favorite location.
A little about me, I have an amazing husband, Dave (farmer of all the amazing land I use and occasional prop builder) We have 5 awesome kiddos. Dave raises beef cattle and does crop farming. We also have a little hobby farm at our house with a pile of cute animals to keep the kids busy. If I am not working I am bringing someone to practice or a game or I am in the kitchen. I love baking all the things and have recently starting working with sourdough and am loving it. I love coffee, staying up late, sleeping in, my great pyrenees dogs, cuddling babies (both human and furry or feathered) and Ludington is my favorite place. (I would LOVE to capture your family on the beach!)
I can NOT wait to capture all your special moments
Kara
