Karenmarie (Karen) Marley

I was born and raised in Southern California, spent twenty-five years as a military wife, relocating every couple of years and living on both US coasts and in Europe, while home-schooling three sons who are all grown and in the Navy and Marine Corps now, which leaves me time to travel with my camera visiting them on ships and military bases. I also volunteer with local charities and organizations supporting military active duty and veterans. I call myself an American Photographer because I am an American woman, a 'Blue Star Mother' of three awesome kids with the Honor, Courage and Commitment to take that oath to serve their country, and I just feel so blessed, happy and proud to be an American. My favorite thing to photograph? The American Flag and all things related!
