Hey there! My name’s Kari.

I’m the cake loving, corny movie watching, memory documenter behind Compass and Aperture.

I’m mum to one cheeky little autistic boy named Chase who keeps my heart full and my toes always on the go.

As a memory maker and risk taker I make it my mission to capture the magic in every moment and create for you beautiful lasting memories.

When I’m not capturing the glow of expecting mamas, tattoo sleeves holding hands and the toothy grins of babbling babes, you can find me hiking a trail for breathtaking views or pouring myself a cheeky smoked whiskey.

I can’t wait to meet you. Let’s work together to create something extraordinary.

Kari has been our family photographer for years and I will never go to anyone else! Every time we have a shoot, it’s a total blast! So relaxed, the kids LOVE HER and always look forward to photo day. The images always come back STUNNING and so natural because the whole family is always having so much fun! I can’t recommend Compass and Aperture more. The memories are worth every penny 😍

Kari has this incredible way of capturing the little tiny bit of magic in every moment, no matter how quick that moment happened! Kari is also so easy to get along with and for my husband who always feels so awkward in front of the camera, he felt at ease with her. The turn around for photos was fantastic, the gallery set-up was great, ordering was easy and the sheer number of good photos made it incredibly hard to pick which to put in a frame. It was totally worth getting the photos printed through her as well as the quality was way better than what I'd get anywhere else. Which to me is important if I'm wanting quality pics I also need quality prints! Would highly recommend Kari, we will book again!
