Meet Karianne

Karianne Munstedt is an award-winning portrait photographer, speaker, and author. She is an artist and nurturer, fiercely motivated by using her talents to make women feel confident, empowered, and whole. Growing up with an abusive role model left her filled with fear; she countered this by attempting to be perfect, but never took the time to understand who she was.

She continued down a path of perfection that led her to a marriage, a job, and other endeavors that weren’t right for her. Karianne started a journey to get to know herself in her 30s. On this spiritual quest, she connected back to the thing that brought her joy as a child… photography. She discovered an innate talent to capture a person’s true inner beauty – the real person inside.

Through her portrait business and as an inspirational speaker, Karianne helps women see their beauty and increase their confidence—both in photos and life—so they can proudly stand out as the face of their business. Through her Facebook videos and Embrace the Shift video series, Karianne opens up about her own past obstacles and negative self-image. Her vulnerability and warmth helps to inspire others to overcome their individual challenges.
