The Legacy Boutique

Karen isn’t just a woman who snaps your photos — she is a magical artist and guide who makes sure you SHINE — as in YOUR ESSENCE SHINES — through in your photos. I knew my photos would be good, but when I saw the first pics, which Karen walked me through, I was THRILLED and couldn’t believe how well she captured me, and how well I came through. Think of your time and money investment with Karen as a investment in you, and you getting yourself in the world in a way that reflects your true power. I’ll use these photos for years. Such a great investment and I JUST LOVE Karen!

It does not get any better than Karen Christensen’s photography, passion and most important, her product. This woman’s talent behind the camera, and her staging is incredible.
I didn’t know that I would get to have her photograph the getting-​ready stage of my wedding day. She captured the most intimate and beautiful moments, on the fly, with no time for preparation. The pictures she took are absolutely stunning.
The other part about getting to work with Karen is her committment and passion to women. Her viewpoints and her sensibility is refreshing and inspriring.
If this woman is free, trust me, you want to hire her.

At the heart of the art of photography, Karen is a master. Event photographers come by the dozens in LA… finding a guru photographer is another. Karen celebrates the soul of her subject and it shines in her photographs, no matter what event she is capturing. Let her capture your story so in 50 years from now, you can look back and slip back into the magic moments of the snapshots!

I used Karen Christiansen for my wedding last July, in San Diego. When making our wedding budget we certainly didn’t think about photography, WOWZA I’m so happy we made it happen. Karen helped keep our special day very comfortable, and It shows in all of our pictures. All of my coworkers, clients, family, and friends have been raving about our wedding photos for their timeless, unconventional beauty and emotion. She is a breathe of fresh air in what can be a stressful process, can’t wait to use her again in the future.

Though I don’t often write Unilocal reviews, (who has the time?!) I had to take a moment to share a little about my experience with the amazingly talented Karen Christensen from The Legacy Boutique.
For starters, I was so surprised and appreciative of her effort to get a feel for my personality and understand what I needed, wanted, and dreamed about for my new headshots several weeks before the actual shoot. Seriously, who does that? By taking the time to hear what hadn’t worked for me in past shoots and asking what I truly hoped for ours, I felt so comfortable and confident in her hands. Coming from an acting background herself, I almost felt as though I was working with a seasoned scene partner than a photographer which was so pleasantly unexpected. Karen’s patience, gentle prodding, and enthusiasm during our entire session had me feeling crazy sexy and strong in front of that lens! My shots came out so beautifully, they had me in tears! Never have I had a shoot that was so fun and so successful!
I also LOVE that this incredibly talented woman uses her gifts to help empower other women through mentorship and collaboration. Her energy and spirit simply shine through the milieu that is so often factory farm professional photography. The Legacy Boutique is an absolute GEM! I had such an amazing experience with Karen for my headshots, I couldn’t possibly imagine anyone else on the planet shooting my wedding next fall even if I have to drag her all the way to Puerto Rico!
AN UNEXPECTEDLY BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE!!! :)

My friend used this photographer for her engagement shots and wedding and still has not gotten her engagement shots and wedding photos and she was married in April (it is now September)
I really love Karen’s photography and her style and what she does for women but it took really a long time to hear from her becuase she was so busy with different projects and personal committments.
Regardless of how busy she was, I still wanted to work with her because my friend used her and I loved her photography. When I finally spoke to my friend and she had realized I did not put our deposit for the photogapher she insisted I don’t use this photographer as she would have not used her if she had to do it over. She simply stated that she just takes too long to get your photos because she is too focus on commercial projects and still has not provided her photography.
Like I said she is a good photographer but I feared that she would not have the attention and time for my sessions and after my friend confirmed that, we decided to go with Gavin Photography who is slightly more expensive but is so easy to work with and as well very responsive and also gets your photos back to you within 3 days after taking the pictures and that is with all his demanding jobs…
