Sarah’s Family Portraits
Most photographers offer a rain date in case the weather isn’t ideal for perfect sunset photos. What if your family’s schedule is so packed that there’s no space for an alternative date and it’s pouring with rain on the shoot date despite all “sunny” weather forecasts? I have a whole collection of photoshoots when we seriously considered postponing the session, then went ahead regardless of the “lemons” the universe gave us and made beautiful, bright, and colorful portraits just because we felt like it.
Diane’s Family Mini-Session
“Our shoot was scheduled on a bit of a dreary day, and a few of our subjects just weren't feeling it. Karina was well prepared, upbeat, and she really listened and made the shoot fun. When she sent proofs, I was floored. So bright and happy! I wanted them all, but we ended up choosing about half. Excellent experience - thank you!!”
- Diane H.
Carol and William’s 55th Wedding Anniversary
I love photographing extended family sessions as I strongly believe that grandparents play a huge role in the lives of their grandchildren.

“Karina is full of amazing ideas and if you are not sure what to do for your photo session, she will give you clear guidelines and suggestions so you won’t be lost.“
-Alima H.
Lifestyle Snow Portraits for the Wall
As far as winter photography goes, fresh snow ranks second only to the Christmas lights. It’s so light and clean and beautiful, like in a fairytale. Is it too cold to pose in a fancy outfit? Who cares! Put on a warm coat, hat and gloves and get the most out of the day.
