Just a heads up… please read below before watching as it might trigger some emotions. If you have any questions or would like to talk things through please reach out to Mark.
An Adelaide Family and Newborn Photographer for over 15 years, Karen Lynch has more than this role in her life.
Having photographed hundreds of families and countless weddings all around Australia, Karen is a registered Marriage Celebrant, a Master Photographer with the (former) AIPP and has been awarded SA AIPP Family Photographer of the Year three times. She is a proud Heartfelt Photographer of over 13 years. To add to her roles, she began her studies in Psychological Science in mid 2023.
But by far her greatest role in life is being mum to three incredible kids, Harry, William & Grace.
Karen has always known the importance of celebrating and capturing life and the people she loves in photographs. But in August 2023, her beautiful, healthy, 14 year old son, William, passed away, and these images are now her most precious possessions.
Learning to navigate the world with one piece of her heart missing, Karen has lent on the ‘magic portal’ granted to us by the power of photographs – she has become a living, breathing example of why, as photographers, we do what we do.
Karen shares not only from a perspective of the gift we give our clients, but the importance of being in your own family photographs, valuing your time away from family and friends, and running a healthy and sustainable business.
By sharing her story she hopes photographers find the courage to value their skills, embrace being in front of the camera, and truly believe in the power of a photograph.
“We only learn the true value of a photograph, well after it has been taken”
