βWhere do I begin?
Karina goes above and beyond for her clients. I know because I was/am/forever will be one of them. She is one of the kindest people I have ever met and she is amazing at becoming your best friend instantly! She is personable, yet still professional. She addresses all questions concerns with complete honesty and is incredibly helpful at the same time. More details for each kind of session:
Engagement session: My husband and I got in front of a camera for the first time together for our engagement session with Karina. We were both so nervous because we donβt consider ourselves photogenic, but Karina said and proved otherwise!! We felt so comfortable with the funny prompts she gave us and cheering us on as the session went on.
Boudoir Session: 10/10 - AMAZING EXPERIENCE!! I wish it wasnβt over and I plan on doing this again! I couldnβt thank Karina enough for this experience, even if I tried. This was a big first for both of us, and I am still shocked at how sexy and empowered it made me feel! It felt like I was in a safe space and I was completely comfortable in my own skin for the first time in my life. Karina explains and can show the poses in details that are easy to catch on to right away. She was so encouraging the entire time and made me feel like a real life model. The mimosas, little charcuterie board and music was a nice touch to get the mood set just right. This shoot was originally for my future husbands wedding gift, but this ultimately for everyone with or without a partner! You will go home feeling sexy and confident with (and without) clothes on.
P.S. ORDER THE ALBUM!! So worth it.
Bridal Session: See above boudoir review for how I got to feel yet AGAIN! Okay, sure, I had more clothes on this time (my gorgeous wedding dress), however, I felt the same! I felt amazing, beautiful, and all the feels. This was when being engaged really hit and Karina was so supportive through all the emotions and made sure everything was, quite literally, picture perfect!
Wedding Day: Holy moly, βSNOWPACALPSE,β as Karina said in her blog, hit one week before my wedding and STAYED until the day AFTER my wedding. Although I am so thankful for the snow I had prayed about for my wedding, there were icy roads to be able to get to the wedding venue. But wouldnβt you know, Karina still came! And away we went, trotting through the snow, freezing our behinds off to get those photos! She was so kind, when I said I had enough, we went back inside to warm up. From her blog, it was 9 minutes. NINE. MINUTES. For so many amazing, beautiful photos?! Karina did the impossible! Not only that, but my husband and I probably tortured everyone, especially Karina, because my dream was to have a morning, brunch wedding at 9:30AM. We were all there before the sun came up and saying that was an early morning is an understatement. I was pretty distracted the rest of the day, but she made sure to get all the photos I wanted and delivered them all in a short four weeks.
Thank you so much for everything!! We are forever grateful to have hired you as our wedding photographer!
ETA Feb. 2026: We have continued to use Karina at least once a year to update our family photos. She is unparalleled, world-class, exceptional and masterful at what she does. She only gets better year after year and we are in awe of how that could be possible when we are blown away every time. You will not be disappointed. If you need a sign, this is it. Choose Karina.β
