I'm photographer Karen McKibben, proud owner of Crazy Kritter Photoz. Read about my farm and the incredibly funny horse paintings in Big Timber, MT. I enjoy my animals so much that I want to share them with other people by taking pet portraits.
Lovin' the Ranch Life
I own a ranch in Big Timber, MT, so I'm around cows, horses, and dogs all the time. And I'm always taking pictures of them. I run 180 head of cows, and several of them are hand-raised pets. They come up to me and stick their noses up to check me out. Such close proximity results in a lot of opportunities to get interesting photos. The younger ones are very curious. Their curiosity makes it easy to get fun shots of their faces, and they each have a different personality and expression. They are human-like in that way. I also photograph my horses and dogs. Animals are my world, and they're what I look at every day.
Four-Wheelin' With My Camera
I keep a camera with me when I'm four-wheeling around the farm, and I take pictures when something interesting happens. Farm life is cool, and I love taking pictures to share the unique things I see with other people. I think I view nature a little differently than most people, and it's easy to overlook the small things. When I notice something unusual, I feel I have to get a shot of it.
My Favorite Place
My favorite place to be is in the pasture with my cows and other animals. It really is a happy place that inspires me. I believe I have been very fortunate in my life, living with my animals out in the country. And my Crazy Kritter Photoz let you share that feeling too.
Picture Pricing Varies
I add special effects and tweaks to each photo to make them unique, and it's tons of fun. My photos cost about $60 for an average size, but pricing varies based on canvas size and framing options.
