Big news!! I have a new website!! https://karinbelgrave.com

Can I even call it a "relaunch" after nearly four years of my old site being down? Sure I can!

My business has always been almost entirely word-of-mouth, thanks to incredible past clients and friends. But it was time - mostly to demonstrate how proud I am of my fifteen years in this business, and to showcase the evolution to my very favorite specialties: Commercial, Editorial, Food, Horses, and People. Of course, there is a ton of variety within those categories (which made it insanely hard to pick just a few images out of tens of thousands in my archives) but hopefully you will be inspired to learn more.

I also have a store! I sell a few fine art prints every year, so now I have an easy way to shop for wall art and other pretty products for yourselves. Stay tuned for limited-edition offerings and curated series.

Many thanks to my friend Susie and her team at Codrington, Inc. for helping my vision come to life.

Thank you for having a look! I am deeply grateful for your continued support ❤

Friends! It’s that time of year again! I love switching gears from Commercial work to Families in the Fall - it’s really fun to connect with all of you and see how your kids (& furry friends!) have grown. I have a limited number of “Mini Sessions” available in late September and October. As you know, my offering is different than most: only “Mini” in terms of time, as you still receive a minimum of 25 fully edited/print ready images (often more, as I want you to be able to make books and beautiful wall art in addition to holiday cards…) One hour, one location of your choice within 20 miles, flexible scheduling, $500. Message me for details/booking, and please feel free to share. Thanks!

Visited the Zoetis website last night, looking for more information on the Platinum Performance acquisition...very pleased to see one of my images FIRST in the photo scroll 😍 I immediately thought of several things:

1. How much I love shooting Equine Veterinary and Animal Health work, as it is something I know incredibly well, and love deeply. I have full confidence in my ability to deliver an authentic product for my clients.
2. Not all Equine shoots have to be this large in scale. Big companies like building big libraries and/or have big needs in terms of upcoming campaigns (those are great fun!) But some of my favorite (and best) work comes from helping small businesses (Veterinary Hospitals, solo practitioners, trainers, feed stores, boarding barns...) grow and thrive with smaller libraries from which they can pull next-level images for their websites, social media, etc. at any time. We can also stagger the timing of your shoot to accommodate different needs and budgets, build your library slowly.
3. NOW is a great time to book equine work as horses are fit with glossy summer coats. Trees are full and things are still green. Think about how you could use great images for your business. I'm happy to help. If you have an idea for a shoot but don't have barns or horses or riders I have a huge depth of resources all over the country (and I love to travel!)

Let's talk! And please share. Thanks, as always, for your kindness and support. XX

Proud to support Retired Racehorse Project with a fun contest!! Win a portrait session with me at the this October ($1500 value). Show us your !! This is going to be fun :)

The Thoroughbred Makeover is less than four months away! We've been enjoying watching the progress of our Makeover Class of 2018, as well as seeing previous Makeover grads out there doing things and being generally awesome. It's a great testament to just how adaptable and versatile these OTTBs can be!

So as things are starting to get serious for Makeover 2018, we thought we'd make things a little more interesting with a contest! Here's how it works:

• Take a selfie with a current or past Makeover entry.
• Post it with the hashtag on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter, and tell us what the experience of participating in the Makeover has meant to you. (Make sure your post is public so we can see it!)
• We'll choose 10 favorites from all the selfies posted by Sunday, June 17, and put them up for a popular vote.

Thanks to the generosity of Karin Belgrave Photography, the winner will receive a portrait session with their horse at the Makeover! (If you're unable to attend, you have the option of receiving a fine art print from Karin instead.)

So let's see those awesome Makeover grads and hopefuls!

I am so thrilled to share the new Whole Earth Center of Princeton website! It was a project that involved lots of planning - working around their busy market schedule (without closing to shoot), model sourcing so we wouldn't bother patrons to be part of the site/marketing materials (you'll see several familiar faces), and multiple discussions around what really makes them tick - all in hopes of authentic images that allow viewers to really understand the uniqueness and history of this Princeton gem. What makes this project even more amazing: they interviewed me for the job just a week after my big surgery last year. They hired me, even though there was a high probability of having to work around a yet-to-be-determined treatment schedule. Even though at times it was hard, it was unbelivably fun...one of a few big projects in the past year that gave me strength and distraction and fulfillment in a really hard time. They rock, and have my loyal support forever. Check them out, if you haven't already...give them a high five for being amazing, and let me know what you think of the new site! XO.

Founded in April of 1970, the same year as the first Earth Day, Whole Earth Center is Princeton’s oldest natural foods grocery. For more than 45 years, Whole Earth has provided Princeton with an unmatched selection of quality organic produce, prepared and packaged foods, environmental friendly hou...

Today I had the privilege of documenting a great family and their new local business, and a group of families who have kids going to college soon, who have all been friends since elementary school.

It's been a heck of a year...but I'm back, better than ever! One of the by-products of taking a semi-hiatus from my business is increased clarity in terms of what I want it to look like going forward: commercial photography that helps members of my community and the industries I love thrive and prosper. Exceeding expectations in all areas, especially customer service. And, perhaps most importantly, focusing on projects that fulfill, invigorate, and bring joy - to me, and to my clients.

I may not be the biggest, fanciest studio out there - but my highly personal, customer-focused approach and commitment to understanding what makes your business tick will always result in exceptionally authentic, compelling, beautiful images.

I put this little collage together with a teeny snippet of past commercial projects that speak to my core competencies: farms, food, community, and the Animal Health Industry. Joyful, indeed! Please feel free to share, and thank you for your continued support. ♥️ Let's talk about how we can work together!

Projects pictured include: Brick Farm Tavern, Brick Farm Market, Halo Farm, Zoetis, Whole Earth Center of Princeton, Georgette Sturam Interior Design & Decoration, LLC, and The Mid-Atlantic Equine Medical Center.

My weddings and engagements have always been about authenticity, important moments, beautifully documenting, blah blah...all I really care about is including your animals :)

Volunteered for our Hopewell Elementary School Kindergarten Farm Day. Got a little too close to these cuties and their "find the egg in the straw" fun, haven't stopped sneezing all day! Haha.
