objectives

Karen Karlsen is a health, fitness, and fashion influencer who uses her platforms to inspire and empower women, particularly those focused on aging gracefully through fitness, nutrition, and self-care. She wanted a professional photography session that would provide her with a wide variety of images to elevate her social media presence and email marketing efforts.

Karen's primary goal was to create a diverse library of images she could use to build a stronger connection with her audience. Her images needed to align with her mission of inspiring women over 40 to prioritize health, fitness, and self-care in their daily lives. Additionally, Karen wanted to make sure to highlight her fun-loving and sometimes goofy personality, giving her audience a more personal and approachable side.
