Its the 

My childhood...

Small town pastor's kid from northern MN. I loved playing outside, was a three-season athlete, piano playing, joke telling honor roll student. My worst memory is fainting in class at the sight of blood...twice! 

Most inspiring places I have visited...

Searching for agates along Lake Superior, crossing a glacier melt river in Iceland, exploring tide pools at Hug Point Oregon, sunset hikes on Mount Rainier Washington, and cliff jumping at Lake Crater Lake NP

Favorite foods...

Red wine, sushi, cheese, and bacon

What sets my soul on fire...

Getting lost in a book, music that makes my arms tingle, researching and planning out new adventures with my family, watching a sunset from the beach or the mountaintop

"We got our (wedding) pictures in the mail and we LOVE every one! You captured the spirit, emotion, and authenticity of each person and relationship in every picture, THANK YOU!!!

"This lady does amazing work! Had a fantastic experience with her doing my maternity pictures! She gave great directions for poses and she has a fun, bubbly personality. She also was super generous in letting me borrow a couple of super cute dresses from her maternity wardrobe. She has a fabulous selection of cute maternity dresses! My friend recommended her to me and I would definitely recommend her to anyone who wanting to get beautiful pictures taken of any kind."

"Karin is absolutely the most amazing photographer we could have ever had the pleasure of meeting and working with. She did our engagement and wedding photos and we will definitely work with her again for our future photo needs. She was not only sweet, funny, and caring, but managed to capture our love like you could never imagine with both sweet and silly pictures. We could not be more grateful."

"Karin @ A Wild Light Photography is a 10/10 photographer!! She took amazingly beautiful photos of my family this fall ❤️ My husband and I both don't feel comfortable/confident in taking pictures, but Karin was able to help us with the poses and just made it fun! Can't wait to do another photo session with her!! We love her work!!

I never was a greater artist than now. When, while the lovely valley teems with vapour around me, and the meridian sun strikes the upper surface of the impenetrable foliage of my trees, and but a few stray gleams steal into the inner sanctuary, I throw myself down among the tall grass by the trickling stream; and, as I lie close to the earth
