Hi, my name is Karrn

Welcome to my dream come true!

Karrn Middleman Photographer is a brand new film photography brand, established in 2026. I recently re-entered the world of professional film photography after a 6-year hiatus to pursue my art teacher certification. I opened this photography brand because of the renewed interest in genuine film photography in the wedding industry. Film Photography has always been my personal passion as an artist & I consider myself an expert in both film & photographing weddings. Prior to pursuing teaching, I photographed over 400 weddings under my former brand, Karrn Frost Photography. My approach is relaxed, personalized & fun!


I’ve been photographing with film for over 20 years!  I have a BA in Film Photography and specialize in capturing emotion, time and light on genuine 35mm & 120 film. I use a combination of vintage film cameras, ranging from 1954 to 1998 while intentionally and artfully documenting meaningful moments. I create truly one of a kind film photographs unique to you, your life and your love.


When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me in the classroom teaching Art to local high school students, raising my teenager, working on projects in my home darkroom or cuddling with my two cats & sweet poodle. I also love being outdoors, camping & hiking beautiful Michigan. Let's Connect! I'd love to hear from you.
