Welcome!
Welcome! I'm Kari Layland, a professional photographer in Minnesota, specializing in portraits of all kinds and wedding photojournalism.
You can view samples of my work on my website: http://www.kariphotography.com/, or my blog: http://www.karilaylandphotography.blogspot.com/.
After receiving emails from countless aspiring photographers, I've decided to share my knowledge by teaching!
I've taught four full day workshops and have done a bit of one on one training. I've enjoyed every minute of it, made great friends along the way, and best of all, watched my students develop into wonderful photographers! So much so, I entrusted 3 of them to photograph my wedding this last May! They did a fabulous job.
For information on my workshops and instruction, take a look at the posts below. If you're not in Minnesota but are interested in a class, let me know! If there's enough interest, I can set up a workshop near you. Contact me at info@kariphotography.com for more information.
