I've always been passionate about helping others.
Photography has been part of my life since I was given my first camera at the age of ten. I will do almost anything to get the shot!
That's me, on the table, getting my shot. I have three cameras that I use. My primary is a Nikon D7000 with a 18-200 mm lens.
The new phone cameras take such gorgeous photos that I use that as a second and my third is a Sony Handycam for video work.
Graphic design and websites came a little later, around 2004, but I love creating something and watching my clients vision become reality. I keep up with trends and technology as much as I can. I love learning new things, so if there is something I don't know how to do and it's something someone needs or something I really want to learn, you can bet by the end of the day I will have taught myself how to do it!
Karen Yun-Lutz, owner of Manageable Media, is a rare find: someone who has talents in many related arenas.
She is an outstanding photographer (professional headshots anyone?), a videographer (just give her some stills and content, with a clip or two, and she’ll make it come alive with voiceover and music), developer of promotional material (I got posters, bookmarks, custom-made images designed for various social media sites), book publisher (from ISBN acquisition to formatting to publishing to advertising) and website design.
I’ve been using her services for years. I’m glad she made a formal company to bring the world her services.
The best part is that she’s smart -- she understands what is being asked for and communicates clearly. She takes the time necessary to do a good job but is also lightning fast getting the finished back.
And edits? Changed my mind about something? Never afraid to have her redo a product until it fits my vision perfectly. She’s upbeat, agreeable and enthusiastic – a pleasure to work with.

Karen is fantastic at what she does. She worked tirelessly to format Triangulation: Extinction, an anthology of short fiction, and prepare it for print. I couldn't be happier with the services she provides!

My personal web site was disorganized, dull, & boring. Karen made it organized, exciting, and interesting. She brought me into the 21st century! Completely satisfied with what she did for me, for which I am thankful. You can check out the personal web site she designed for me to see for yourself!

I highly recommend Karen with Manageable Media!
Karen has been primarily updating my business website and helping me with the details of creating my social media posts at Vivo Travel Design. She is very knowledgeable, professional and communicates information clearly. Karen is also persistent in her efforts to solve any issue that I may have with my website, etc.
She is great to work with- she has made my work so much easier! Thanks Karen!

Karen's work is wonderfully creative and visionary. Her professional demeanor makes one feel comfortable working with her, even if you are "shy" in front of a camera. Her pictures - no matter of what kind - are always outstanding. And, often, she creates pieces of inspired artwork. With an excellent eye and an extraordinary sense of creativity, Karen's work is a cut above the rest!
