a little bit about me

Hi! I’m Karina. I’m a photographer based out of Portland, OR/Vancouver, WA. Raised in Seattle, WA, I’m no stranger to the Pacific Northwest. I love watching sunrises, exploring new coffee shops, cooking, and basically anything involving food. A little fun fact, I’m also a pediatric nurse! While I love my career as a nurse, my creative side keeps burning to continue my photography passion.

In the picture to the right is my fiancé and I. We are getting married in August of 2024! He is my right hand when it comes to running my small business, so it would only be fitting to include him in my bio!

Personally, engagement and wedding shoots are my jam. I love capturing the real moments. The little kisses, the soft hand-holding, the giggles and everything in between of being in love. I’m here to not only take your pictures, but to capture your love in its most authentic state.

My favorite part about this job is being able to connect with people. As a nurse, I have been told one of my biggest strengths is my ability to connect with people I’ve never met before. Even if I don’t know you yet, we’ll become friends in no time! Next thing you’ll know, I’ll be there cheering you on as I’m taking your senior pictures or on the dance floor with you as I’m capturing your wedding. I’m here to not only be your photographer, but your friend as well. So let’s connect and create together!

Karina.

let’s work together.
