WHO AM I
Hi! I’m Kiara. I’ve always gravitated toward flowers. Even little me would pick violas from the garden and press them in between books as bookmarks.
In 2015 I began photographing portraits in flowers around Portland and it became my signature photo style. I couldn’t quite pinpoint what it was about that process that kept me coming back for more. Until winter came, and the inspiration (and the flowers) disappeared.
Once I learned how much I sought out flowers in my creative process, I started incorporating small elements of floral design into my wedding work and before I knew it, I was designing flowers as much as I was taking photographs.
Fast forward to now, I love sharing my workload between floral design + wedding photography. Both crafts give me the ability to do the other even better.
I would be thrilled to bring your floral vision to life.
My flower process heavily depends on local farmers and using seasonal varieties as the ingredients to my flower recipes. I steer away from single-use materials and harmful foams as much as possible and rarely import flowers from out of state to keep things local, sustainable and fresh.
