About Karin Keller

Karin Keller (aka Coastalkells) is an ambitious and creative Vancouver, BC based photographer and social media marketer. Karin was born and raised in Kelowna BC by school teachers which meant that every summer holiday was spent with her mom, dad and sister hiking and camping throughout Beautiful British Columbia and the Rockies. Her adventurous childhood instilled in her a passion for the outdoors and photography which she loves sharing with her audience today.

Her love of photography and storytelling has grown from being inspired by her dad. He loved capturing every moment of their childhood and brought his camera everywhere. Since being diagnosed with dementia, Karin started capturing more images of her hikes and daily life, and loves sharing them with her dad so he can stay connected to her and her life. What started as a shared love of photography has now grown into a full time job as a photographer and content creator.

Learning hard lessons about the fragility of life from such a young age, Karin loves living life as authentically as possible and loves taking advantage of every possibility. She loves to travel, run, hike, cycle, ski, climb and swim and you can always find her learning a new sport. She expresses herself through movement and fitness which she loves sharing with her audience and in her photos.
