Meet Me

Cincy Elite Images

My name is Karen Schlemmer, and I am delighted to be your photographer, mentor, and supporter. Though I appreciate simplicity, I also embrace adventure, even if I’m often delightfully basic at heart.

I am incredibly fortunate to be the mother of an incredible son, three amazing daughters and 5 wonderful grandsons, whose fun-loving, adventurous, and strong-willed personalities inspire me daily. They drive me to be a better person and role model. I also have a supportive husband who loves me deeply and encourages my various pursuits, from home projects to career changes and beyond.

Based in Fairfield, Ohio, I offer photography services throughout the Southwestern Ohio/Northern Kentucky and Eastern Indiana areas. If you’re dreaming of a destination photo shoot or have a unique session idea, I’d love to bring it to life. Planning a proposal? I’m here to help make it unforgettable!

I believe that each person is uniquely and wonderfully made, and it is my hope to capture that essence through my photography.

            Karen did a photo shoot with my boyfriend and my 2 dogs. She was AMAZING at working with my pups and getting them to cooperate. She suggested a lot of poses and was easy to work with, including finding beautiful backgrounds. I sent her some ideas I had on how I wanted my photos to look and she nailed it! I’d highly recommend her!

              When pricing photography sessions, it's essential to strike a balance that feels reasonable and affordable for clients while also valuing the time and skill involved in the process. A considerate pricing strategy considers not only the market rates but also the unique needs of each client, ensuring that they feel they are getting quality service without breaking the bank. Ultimately each session is unique and priced on the artistry captured and the lasting memories created. You will find pricing for each session type under the Featured Services page for each type of session offered.
