Karen Vaisman, Neighbor

I am a Professional Photographic Portrait Artist with over 30 years experience specializing in Professional Headshots. I’m originally from New York where I attended Syracuse University and Rochester Institute of Technology – graduating with my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography.  I’ve made my home in the Conejo Valley since 1987 and in Agoura Hills for 19 years.  I’m married with 2 teenage daughters who both went to early entrance to college at age 13 and 15 and are currently attending UC Berkeley and UC Davis. I’m an expert in navigating educational options for both my daughters which includes managing interventions for various learning disabilities as well as maximizing our educational system for gifted students. My passions include my family, education, pets, social media marketing and of course my love of photography and art.

 The focus of my blog will be sharing my passion and knowledge for photography and image-making as well as marketing via social media. I love to help both families and business shine. I use my skills to perfect every image and to try to bring out the utmost in those I photograph through lighting, posing composition, expression and my retouching artistry. I am looking forward to sharing my 30 years of creative expertise in artistic photographic retouching, digital painting, photography, lighting, graphics and art. I use all of these skills to create work ranging from heirloom quality portraiture for families, children and seniors to corporate business portraits. I reach my client base through local referrals as well as social media marketing.

You may see samples of my work on my web site at http://www.karenvaismanphotography.com.

You may be interested in the “<strong>BEFORE AND AFTER</strong>” gallery to see how photographic retouching brings an image up to the ultimate level. I focus on my client, getting to know the person or the family first to capture their personality, expressions and relationships. I like to pamper my discriminating clients with the ultimate experience.
