Testing Nikon Z9 focus tracking: dog on the run
I am getting to know my brand new Nikon Z9 camera and its outstanding focus tracking abilities, this time with Nikkor Z 70-200mm f/2.8 on.
Joyka is finally cleared for unlimited physical activity, so we are back to daily hiking. This Golden loves to run fast. Anyone who ever tried to photograph a dog galloping at you knows that it’s not easy to get your photos in focus. But not with the Nikon Z9! This camera tracks not just Joyka, but his eye with admirable determination. Every single shot. Wow!
If you would like to lend me your dog to test this camera’s boundaries, please reach out. :-)
A Golden Retriever on a hiking trail: Winter
As we are anxiously watching the snowflakes outside, bracing for the snow storm, a few positive winter photos are in order. Our Golden Retriever Joyka loves winter and all winter activities - hiking, playing with snowballs and especially “helping” to shovel the snow out of the driveway.
Halloween Session for Alena and Aekam
Halloween is my favorite holiday in the fall. This time I met two very friendly ghosts who didn’t mind posing for the camera. ))

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.

Senior Portraits: a Winter Session
If you ever wondered what the winter scene looks like in senior photos, here are the photos that we took with my daughter on one of the hikes on a snow day. Book your senior session before the beautiful white snow melts!
Winter Wonderland Action Dog Photos
Here in Pennsylvania, winter offered some perks... finally. After miserable ice rain at night came broad sunshine in the morning and I couldn’t resist taking my 70-200mm lens for a hike. The reflections in the icicles were spectacular. And as always, I ended up taking photos of Joyka. He’s my best hiking buddy and gets all the attention.
Kaila and Friends. Mission: Love Always
“Thank you so so much! I’m so happy.” - Khala W.
A photo session with friends... how cool is that? These images are just a small portion of both group and individual shots we did for Khala and her friends.
Dancing Engagement Session: Sarah and Erick
“We really loved these photos and enjoyed working with you!” - Sarah T. and Erick O.
If your sweetheart makes you feel like dancing, marry them. The most enjoyable part of being a photographer is having a portrait session with people who openly and happily adore each other.
Alena’s Mini Session
“Could we do just a short session, one location and no outfit changes?” Sure! This shoot lasted 30 minutes. The key ingredients were a gorgeous girl and a magical September sunset that appeared from behind the tall trees and lasted just long enough for us to take these portraits.
