THE CONCEPT BEHIND THE LEGACY BOUTIQUE:  ART MEETS ACTIVISM

Karen travels internationally for private commissions and has shot for celebrities, public figure experts, world-record athletes, and your everyday woman next door. Clients who invest in our Photography or Mentorship {For Photography Clients, Women Photographers, & Socially Driven Artpreneurs™} are simultaneously investing in the improved well being of Women and Children everywhere. To improve Women’s Self-Esteem and Financial Self-Sustainability, Karen has proudly allied with like minded women-run small businesses and non-profits. She donates her time and talents as well as a percentage of the studio’s proceeds.

The studio annually donates Heirloom Portrait sessions to low income mothers-to-be, as well as Professional Head Shots to women re-joining the workforce after surviving domestic violence. Karen also Story Produces and markets Women-Centered documentary films, as well as, Speaks and Leads Workshops on Media Literacy, Self-Esteem, Self-Sustainability, Body Image, and How Women Artists can become Socially Driven Creative Art-preneurs™.

WHY IS THE ADVOCACY FOCUS ON WOMEN AND CHILDREN?
“Women and children are all too often the first to be devalued, displaced, and discarded. We must help to move them from ‘Victims to Survivors to Agents of Change,’ as Women for Women, Int founder Zainab Salbi states. By investing in women, their self-esteem and self-sustainability, we mobilize a groundbreaking end to the assaults of illiteracy, violence, poverty, chaos, disease, self-injury, and extremism. If my Art as Activism is even a small part of that movement, I can be proud of my life’s Legacy.” ~ Karen

This is why I chose Karen. Yes she takes incredible photos but she also does great things in life. Very inspiring.

Karen Christensen is doing wonderful things with her intimate studio. Not only is she hugely friendly, warm, fun and funny to shoot with (she shot our unbelievable maternity and newborn portraits and I wished I had known about her when we shot our wedding because her recent wedding works are spectacular) but she’s really an activist at heart. We feel so great knowing that the money we spent on our family’s heirlooms will also be money spent toward improving the lives of other daughters and mothers. The Artwork she designed for me and my husband really reminds us every day of how important it is to truly love and appreciate each other and give thanks for all the blessings that we have. Check Karen out and get on her wait list today. Tell her Kathryn sent you and you’ll get a referral reward.

Thank YOU! LOVE your love for The Legacy Boutique mission. As we say over here when we’re hard at work, “We’re Helping Women with Every Click.” Much LOVE. Here’s to YOU! “Become the One You Are Waiting For and Live a Life YOU Love” xoxoxo

Love that your actions are aligned with your desires to make positive change and champion women & children, as well as highlight incredible causes and women. AND your images are so gorgeous! xo

I’m moved by charities aimed at helping children and girls especially. It’s sad but true that these demographics, all too often, go unnoticed. Visual art is such a powerful way to convey the truth of a singular person or of an idea – for the subject and the viewer. I love that you’re doing this. There is no better form of self expression than art…way to harness that and help everyone to be involved.

Ha! Two Sarah’s back to back. Love it!

@Sarah #1 {Kidding, I know it’s YOU Miss UK} I love that you’re on here and on FB and such a big supporter. MEANS so much and hugely appreciate your love. What a creative force you are too! Can’t wait to have you in some of our Art-Preneur workshops coming up. Even from across the globe, in your PJ’s, you can attend ; )

Hi Karen,

I just wanted to introduce myself, I’m a fashion stylist in Sydney Australia. I saw your post on Marie Forleo’s facebook page. The positive energy coming off you in that video was infectious and has put me in a great mood! :)
If you are ever shooting in Australia, I would love to work with you x

Kirsten

KarenSeptember 10, 2011 - 7:43 pm

Kirsten, THANK YOU for your sweet introduction! Would love, love, love to meet and shoot one day together in Australia! What a treat that would be. Been meaning to get to Sydney for some time now. Love your work! I’m so happy something I said on Marie Forleo’s page resonated with you enough that you came here! Keep coming back xo

Karen, you are da-bomb girl! Hope to meet you one day in Seattle. (You crack me up on Twitter). I’ll totally get some friends together and try to bring you out here. Your work and your mission are solid. You must love what you do. <3 ~Steph
