About Me, Ms. KLC

October 18, 2009

I am Boston-based photographer that specializes in photojournalism, engagements and weddings, fine-art and anything else that I can point my camera at.

I love color.  I love to tweak and play with color.  I often alter the color profiles of my images to reflect the mood and conditions of the day.  A shoot on the beach in the warm sun?  I add subtle gold tones.  A brisk windy day? I’ll emphasize the blues.  An intimate moment?  I’ll soften the colors and add a vintage touch.  I love the process of editing my photos and get (almost!) as much joy from the post-processing that I do from the shooting.

I love shape, form, and angles.  Anyone can take a snapshot, and there is a place for every type of photo, but I like to move around when I shoot.  I often shoot with prime lenses that don’t zoom, which means I “focus with my feet.”  A typical shoot has me climbing trees, laying on the ground, crouching under tables, getting way up close, running far away…you get the idea.  I think it is the job of a photographer to take in the world as our eyes do, and then frame it in a way that we wouldn’t normally see.  Furthermore, I love atmospheric photos.  A photo of a BIG space with a small element that makes it special, and makes it yours.

Finally, I approach my photography with a feeling of pure fascination.  The world is an amazing place, and we are all a part of that wonder.  With my photographs I simply try to capture the beauty that is all around us.


I have never been more sure of anything in my life than taking photographs is what I am meant to do.  When I have a camera in my hand I feel joyful, I feel empowered, I feel excited, and I feel complete.

Be, and be well
