Karen Stauffer Photography

I strive to capture the moments, not just photographs. The moments captured will help us remember years from now what we felt at that very moment.

Thanks for taking a look at what I love to do! I have loved photography since I was very young. I learned the basics on a Canon film camera given to me back in 1993 and have used Canon ever since. I grew up in Louisiana but now reside in Bloomington, IL. Although I have been here for over 18 yrs, I will always be a Southern Girl :)

I have a huge heart for cancer patients and their families. I have been a part of the McLean County Relay for Life for well over 10 yrs now, doing what I can to help find a cure for this awful disease. I use my photography to help raise money when I can.

I was approved to be a volunteer photographer for Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep. NILMDTS is a non-profit organization that provides free bereavement photography for families that have suffered the loss of their baby. I know this will be a challange for me but I feel it is a way for me to give a gift to a family that totally deserves it.

I love using the beauty of the outdoors as my studio whenever possible. I love the beauty and peace it gives me. The three loves in my life are my faith, my family and photography… oh, and CHOCOLATE.

I have learned that as we get older our memory fades, but with the gift of photography we can look at our photographs and it carry us back to that moment in time. It remembers when we cant. My desire is to help you capture and preserve those special moments.

I would love the opportunity to work with you, get to know you, and create lasting images for you and your family to cherish for a lifetime, at prices that are affordable.

'The days can be long, but the years are short!' Are you capturing the memories? Let me help you.
