Family portraits should feel meaningful, not stressful. If you’ve been putting off scheduling professional photos because the planning feels overwhelming, you’re not alone. Many families want beautiful, lasting artwork but worry the experience will be rushed, awkward, or not worth the money spent on them. At Kara Reese Photography, family portrait sessions in Waukesha, Wisconsin are designed to be calm, guided, and genuinely enjoyable. From your initial consultation through the final artwork selection, Kara handles every detail so you can focus on being present with the people you love. With over 15 years of professional experience (including extensive experience working with special needs families and children on the autism spectrum), Kara Reese Photography has earned a reputation as a trusted Waukesha family photographer known for creating timeless, high-quality portraits that families are proud to display in their homes for generations.

personalized just for you.

Kara has been our family photographer for over 7 years now. Even though we recently moved several hours away, we plan on traveling back to work with Kara in the future because of our wonderful experiences with her on newborn sessions, family sessions, and Moments with Santa. Every session we had with Kara has turned out better than I could have ever imagined! She always has great ideas for locations, shots, and outfits. The images we have from the sessions beautifully captures the emotions, experiences, and the surroundings. All of our children love working with her including our youngest child who is usually stingy with smiles, but not with Kara!
