My name is Karen Poelmann, owner of Capture What You Love in Saratoga, California.

I worked as a Portrait Photographer for over nine years in The Netherlands. After moving to California and getting my family settled, I'm now continuing my passion and business here.

CWYL specializes in timeless family portraits, high school Seniors, headshots, personal branding, and more! I shoot outside as well as in my home studio.

Photography, to me, is creating touching pictures that capture the expression of love, deep emotion, and happy moments.

CWYL provides a fantastic family experience, one that you will remember forever. It is a family event. You will dress up to look your best. You will have fun together, all the while creating wonderful family memories. My European style is relaxed and storytelling, with a focus on a natural look. I try to create a fun family day (instead of a stressful photo session).

CWYL delivers products and portraits for the home, beauty you will enjoy and love every single day. It is about heirlooms, and it is about memories, it is about “Capturing What You Love.” 

Karen Poelmann is a Certified Better Photographer and a member of the Professional Photographers of America.
