About me

Hi, my name is Karen Orphey.  I am “the face” behind Treehouse Photography.

My #1 loves are my studly husband Frank and our 2 crazy kids but photography definitely comes in at a close second!

Through all stages of my life (little tom-boy, awkward pre-teen, young mom) I have consistently been 2 things; an artist and an outdoors girl.  I quickly learned when I got my first digital camera that photography fits me like a glove.

Let me tell you a little bit about my style.  I don’t like to do the same thing in every photo session.  I know it’s important to have a few good ‘everyone looking at the camera and smiling’ photos for Christmas cards (and other things), but for the main part of the session I like to get creative.  I think smiles look better if they’re not forced and I think couples look happier if they are doing their own thing and the shots are more candid.  I do like to set up poses, especially for wedding and engagement photos, but nothing is ever forced or uncomfortable.  I’m not a studio photographer, I’m too much of a free-spirit for that!

I am based in the southwest but love to travel to different locations.  Email me if you need a photographer, I am more than happy to answer any questions that you have!

Karen,

I picked up your blog from Kelcie on Facebook. It has been a while since I’ve looked at your pictures. You are a GREAT photographer! These photos are gorgeous!

Your cousin (sort of)

Hello! I got your name from one of my friends and was interested in chatting with you about prices and what is included in your wedding package. Our wedding will be held in Las Cruces, NM so I know there would be a mileage fee. I love your photos- you have a great eye and talent for photography…exactly what we are looking for!! Hope to hear back from you soon.

Thank you
Nicole Rivera
