My photography habit, as I affectionately call it, began when I was about nine years old and I received my very own Kodak 110 camera. That camera went with me on trips to Yellowstone, many family parties and it was used to take an inordinate amount of pictures of the cats I grew up alongside. In high school, I continued my habit by taking Photography and Yearbook to expand my experience and have some fun. After years of being told I had a "great eye," I decided to get serious and enrolled in the UW Extension Certificate Program in Photography in 2006 to further my education and learn where my habit could take me. Happily, it prepared me to make this habit/hobby into a business and Kari Quaas Photography is the result.

Now I have graduated to bigger and better cameras and still find that my fascination with photography continues as well as my love of photographing cats. In the fall of 2008, I opened my first solo fine art photography show called Zero to 255 in Seattle, but my real passion is to capture the personalities of animals and people. My love and respect of animals, and especially cats, helps me to bond quickly to them, and that trust, yields wonderful photographs. My desire to document the day also shines through when I photograph small family events catching the moments that will be remembered fondly for many years to come.

In 2009, I created a series of photographs called The Elements, which were displayed at A Gathering Grove in Everett, Washington.

In 2011, I have been busy with people portraits, both professional and casual, for social media sites like LinkedIn, Facebook, and various dating sites. I have also been hired to documents small events around the city of Seattle for the Alliance for Pioneer Square and UW Professional and Continuing Education.

For more information about me, you can read my blog, Kari's Musings About Photography, or contact me via email. If you are interested in a non-studio portrait session for you, your family or your pets, or you would like for someone else to be the photographer at your small event, please get in touch. I am happy to come to where you are or meet in a outdoor environment from Bellingham to Seattle and the east side of Lake Washington.
When I'm not behind the lens, I can be found helping people find a variety of seasonal and summer jobs on CoolWorks.com or moderating chats on MyCoolWorks.com. I also give out cookies and register donors for the Puget Sound Blood Center and am a member of the board of directors for Washington Business Week.

....that is, if you can pull me away from my cat, Speck. =^.^= Thanks for visiting!
