About

Hi, we are Karyn and Joe May and we photograph with love! :)

Our journey together began about 14 yrs ago, we met by chance, we've loved, laughed, and grown. We are an extension of each other and are both unique in our own ways. To us photography is an art of observation, it's a way of feeling, of touching and of loving.. it remembers little details long after you have forgotten everything. life is a true gift, every relationship and bond has meaning and beauty is everywhere! Our goal is to share our love for photography through images you can cherish for a lifetime. 

Thanks for stopping by. :)
