Believe 2011

For the past two years something has been missing, something absolutely crucial that help me succeed not only in my business but in my personal life too: Believing in myself. It sounds silly, right? Not to believe in yourself? But for whatever reason I haven't and it has been dragging me down and holding me back from my full potential, from my authentic self, from true happiness.

Well, this is where it stops. For good. Period.

There is a lot of change happening, a lot of love, a lot of happiness, and a lot of celebration. There is so much to say and I'm not even sure what to say, or if this is the right time. I will explain everything in time, but here is what I am going to say for now.

I am Karen.
I am obsessed with zebras. I am an Apple girl. I love to exercise. I live for God. I love everything Disney. I long for hugs and kisses. I love my family with all that I am. I love the feeling of laying on the beach, the refreshing ocean breeze, the sun warming my skin, and the relaxing sound of the waves crashing. I love to laugh, and laugh, and laugh, and laugh until my stomach hurts. I love happy tears/ I love that I cry a little at every wedding I photograph. I love getting to know and encouraging the high school seniors I meet. I am a photographer, a daughter, a sister, a girlfriend, a granddaughter, a niece, a cousin, a best friend, and that girl that always strives for more. I am a HIPster, a Hallmark alumni. I am a giver. I am in love and falling more and more in love with him every day. I am BELIEVING.

I am a wedding and senior portrait photographer. I am available worldwide. I would love to photograph YOU.

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Karen Schlink Photography. Welcome to the true, authentic Karen. Welcome to my year of Making Things Happen.
