I founded Karen Hocker Photography here in Massachusetts in 2001, joining my lifelong love of animals and my fascination with photography. Although I started out photographing dog and horse events and doing environmental portraits, I have transitioned into being primarily a fine art portraiture photographer.
My goal is to create carefully crafted art that is as expressive as your canine or equine companion. Art that you will treasure for a lifetime.
