When you hire me to capture your professional or personal life in an image, I will invest all my efforts to ensure that you love  the final product. We will begin with a phone consultation followed up with written guidelines to help prepare you for your time in front of the camera and some time before the session that will help us capture the right feeling and tempo for your photographs.

During this last year and a half, I took the opportunity to slow down and spend some time in front of the camera so I can appreciate the lights, the poses and the pressure that can come from the focus quite literally being entirely on you. I will help you get in the right space so that together we can produce something you will embrace.

My studio is in my home in Highland Park where I can take indoor and provide a beautiful landscaped area for outdoor.. Some clients do both indoor and outdoor shoots in one sitting, providing multiple looks for websites and social media. I am located 10 minutes from the beach, and if a more urban feeling is what you are seeking we can find the right area for your shoot.

I had such an easy time working with Karla Livney on my website project and professional photos. Her style is altogether professional, creative, polished, relaxed, and personal. She has a knack for removing all the stress and just letting you be you. Thanks again and bravo, Karla!

This was the first time in my life I had professional head shots done. Karla made me feel totally comfortable and at ease. I am so thrilled with the photos! I feel so confident sharing these head shots.

Keri Serota

Working with Karla at Causeography was fun, and my photos were so awesome it was challenging to narrow them down! I’d recommend Causeography to anyone looking for exceptional photos and a laid-back experience.

I am so grateful to have had my law school graduation pictures taken by Karla. She was very patient in arranging my family in numerous poses with beautiful backgrounds. We always felt relaxed. She clearly has a passion and talent for this. I could not have chosen anyone better to commemorate this special moment.
