kari villa-rivera :: studio IV photography

Growing up in small town Wisco, moving from one farm in the sticks to the next, I had to get a little creative when it came to entertainment. That forced creativity (thanks mom and dad) has turned into a passion, and lucky for me, a career. My style is as moody as I am. Some days it's bright, fun, energetic, and exciting, while other days it's dark, emotional, thoughtful, and gritty. Whatever my mood, I'm always drawing from my subject's story. Because of them, I've been privilege to moments that are typically reserved for close friends or family. It's good for the soul, to get outside yourself, and see things from that perspective.
