About Us

Black and White Studios is a Fine Art Photography Studio, owned and operated by Karen Taylor. A former student of Munson Williams Proctor Institute, and Syracuse University School of Architecture, Karen tries to impart a fine art influence to every image she creates, but has a particular love and passion for creating custom black and white children’s and family portraiture. Karen specializes in BUMPS AND BABIES, WATCH ME GROW, MY PET & ME portraiture. She takes the time to capture the unique energy of each person. BWS is the total experience. Karen also provides custom framing of your portraits. We also offer an extensive and highly specialized Senior Portrait Program, with six different session choices: Classic, Fashion, Artistic, Outdoor, Pets/Friends/Family, and High Fashion Art. Seniors have a choice of ten Portrait Package Specials and nine Wallet Package Specials (with wallets as low as $1.75 ). Diversity, Choices, and Individuality are key in these sessions. Weddings with Karen are totally customized, although the starting point is one of five specialized Wedding Packages. Karen believes each wedding is unique and therefore impossible to isolate into a specific package. Wedding couples are met with the intent upon making their Dream Wedding come true. Each wedding becomes personal to Karen, and she endeavors to accommodate your Once-in-a-Lifetime Special Day. Karen, a Norwegian, has lived much of her life in Europe and South East Asia, and her imagery certainly expresses her lifetime of International exposure. Karen's images have hung in the Munson Williams Proctor Institute, Cogar Gallery, Cooperstown Art Association, and Central New York Heart Gallery where her photography helped highlight children awaiting adoption in Central New York. Karen is the photographer for Clinton’s Art Rocks projects. For more information, call Ms. Taylor at 315-525-4487, or see her web site at www.blackandstudios.com. Ms. Taylor is a member in good standing of the Professional Photographers of America (PPA), and the Clinton Chamber of Commerce. Karen welcomes you to ENTER A NEW WORLD OF PHOTOGRAPHY, and schedule your session today.
