GET MY 2026 - 2027 WEDDING GUIDE
I am a wedding, maternity, portrait and family photographer. A human obsessed with light and feelings, drawn to what’s real. Tension, atmosphere, breath, intimacy, life - caught in flickers between candid glances, the quiet shifts, and the big, joyful bursts of emotion. My approach is rooted in presence and trust — creating a space where you can feel comfortable, seen, and completely yourself.
Whether I'm documenting your wedding day, your growing family, or the many ways love shows up in your life, I’m here to tell your story with honesty, care, and a sense of calm joy. I work all across the Pacific Northwest, in Spain and beyond, and I absolutely love traveling— from mountain tops to coastlines and everywhere in between.
Let’s tell your story, together.

Karina creates honest, raw images of her subjects through her artful, candid approach—during our session, she encouraged us to be ourselves while gently guiding us into the good light and helping us pose or relax when we felt awkward about being in front of the camera. Additionally, as a lesbian couple who present masc and femme, Karina didn’t make assumptions about who should be holding who based on height, haircut, or clothing style—we were free to hold one another the way we naturally do.
Karina’s work is sensual and intimate, and she has a meticulous eye for detail—intertwined hands and legs, the pursed lips of a kiss, fingers braided through hair, the blur of a couple rolling around in bed. Through her lens, she bears witness to our humanity and shows us just how beautiful we are. The way Karina captured the love between me and my wife is as sacred as the love itself.

My wife and I worked with Karina for our wedding day, and absolutely could not be happier with both the experience she provided from start to finish, and with the photos. She has an amazing eye for which moments to capture, and does it while hardly being noticed. We seriously can’t recommend Karina enough - not just for weddings, but for any major moments in life.

Karina has a gift for being in presence with people - offering them the space to be however they are in that moment and capturing the honesty of it. Pregnancy and parenting has offered me a newfound sense of intimacy, but I've also found it hard to know where I end and my family begins. Our shoots with Karina offered me a reflection that let me relish in that complexity, to see the swirl of individual and communal as the magical mess it is. It's been a gift to be held in the authenticity of each moment we share with her - knowing that she's capturing the hidden magic of our everyday experiences with spontaneity and a reverence for light, composition and astounding beauty

Karina took my wedding day to the next level. She went above and beyond to make sure she captured my special day perfectly. She was incredibly kind and sweet and really made the whole day that much more fun! She even included Polaroids and old film style photos which I really loved. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful and I could not be more happy with them. My husband and I couldn’t stop giggling and smiling looking through them. If I could leave more stars I would because we really loved working with Karina. She’s the best!

I was born and raised in Michigan in the USA, and first fell in love with travel at age ten, on a plane ride with my aunt. I still remember staring out the window, full of wonder as we rose into the clouds. That sense of awe has stayed with me ever since. It’s what brought me to Portland, Oregon at age 23, where I spent years as a chef and restaurateur before photography became the heartbeat of my current chapter.
Today, at age 44, I am in the process of transitioning my life to Spain, with planned yearly visits to Oregon. My location is shifting but all the things that light me up remain the same. Whether you're planning an intimate celebration in the Colorado mountains, a sun-soaked elopement in Mexico, a romantic Italian escape, or a city wedding in Barcelona — I’d be honored to come along for the ride. The world is full of beauty. Let’s meet somewhere magical and tell your story there.

THE STORIES I TELL
These are the moments that make my heart skip. Honest, intimate, and full of soul. While weddings and elopements are a big part of what I do, my love for storytelling extends far beyond the ceremony. I’m endlessly inspired by the quiet magic of everyday life. The connection between a growing family, the deep tenderness of pregnancy, the way long-time lovers still make each other laugh. From soulful portraiture to spontaneous moments with your kids at the kitchen table, these are the stories worth remembering too. Whether we’re in your backyard or chasing light somewhere new, I’m here to document your life with care, emotion, and intention.
