Kathy Turpn Photography

I love people, being with people energizes me like nothing else. I'm a mom, a sister, a friend and a grandma (Mimi). All of these roles make me who I am and encourage me to learn and grow in my joy and passion for life. I love the creative process involved in photography. Watching for and catching the play of light on a face or in nature and looking for that different angle or unusual shot is exciting.

I am very energetic and friendly and like to get to know my clients before and during our photo session helping you to relax and be yourself in front of the camera so I can capture your most naturally attractive image. I love natural light but will utilize flash when it will improve the image. My interests range from portrait and wedding photography to unique dance portraiture and still life and landscape.

I love unusual locations as well as traditional settings. My goal is to make you, my client, completely thrilled with your experience from the first contact to the final print.
