About

HEY THERE! Thank you for clicking on my page. Something about me caught your attention and I want to give you more and more reasons to fall in love with me. I am hoping we are a good match because I love meeting new couples and learning more about who you are.

A little about my business: I am a lifesyle portrait and wedding photographer. I have had a passion for photography since before I can remember. Working with couples makes me so happy, and I'll probably tell you that a million times during your session or event. It makes my heart feel so warm inside to be around fun and loving people. I try to focus on movement while I am with you. We will have a lot of fun with games and activities. I am not going to pose your every move, I want you to have FUN, be yourself, and enjoy your time with me. At the end of the day, my main goal is to provide images that tell who you are as a couple.

When you work with me, you get more than a photographer; you get a supporting friend who will help you in more ways that you thought a photographer would. Throughout the months leading up to your wedding, we will get to know each other with a handful of meetings, I will create a personalized photographer timeline, I have even been a witness for some couples. I want to make the months leading up to your wedding as smooth as possible. So just remember, I am HERE.

Coffee lover? Cool, I know a great coffee place. Tacos are your jam? SAME. Let's go downtown and get some tacos. I want you to have a great experience working with me so let's chat! I can't wait to learn all about YOU.

Best wedding/engagement photographer!!

Karena is the most outstanding photographer and sweetest person. We booked her for our engagement shoot and wedding and could not love our photos more. She sent us tons of sneak peeks within two days that we were able to share with friends and family. She has the most wonderful personality to go with the flow and also to keep us on track for the photos we wanted throughout our wedding day. She makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera and captures the most beautiful photos. She is very professional and organized, and her second shooter was wonderful as well. She always responded to us quickly and had very clear communication. If you are on the fence about booking Karena for any photography needs, look no further. Her prices are competitive and she provides you with so many perfect photos that you can’t even narrow them down to post / print. 100% recommend!!!

Super Talented, Kind, and Professional Wedding Photographer!

My husband and I hired Karena for our wedding photography and were so glad we did! Karena is such a talented photographer and lovely person to work with. I was nervous about posing for photos at first, but she had lots of wonderful suggestions and led us through tons of different poses with ease. Karena responded quickly to emails throughout the planning process and delivered our sneak peak photos lightning fast. We are overjoyed with our wedding photos and will cherish them for a lifetime. We highly recommend Karena for other couples seeking to capture their wedding day!

SO happy we chose Karena !

Karena gave us the most amazing photos we could have asked for. She was a dream to work with and got everything back to us SO fast ! The hard drive was mailed to us faster than my brothers first look photos from his wedding (they did not have a great photographer as we did haha). Karena is very professional but very fun to work with. Her prices are really good for how great she is at her craft and we 100% recommend her to anyone!

Exceptional Wedding Photography

Meeting Karena for the first time was like meeting an old friend, she quickly made us feel relaxed as we got ready to take our engagement pictures. She had suggested a beautiful park, and her confidence and professional demeanor really put us at ease and brought out our natural selves-- which really came through in our amazing photographs. She let us have fun during our shoot, but was also great at giving gentle directions and keeping things organized. It was evident that she had a strong idea of the types of images she wished to capture, and the best way to go about getting the right image.

We were thrilled with our engagement photos, but our wedding photos were even more gorgeous. Karena brought an assistant, Kristen, who was equally friendly and professional. We have a big family and had to take quite a few pictures, but they corralled us all efficiently and made the process painless. We had so much fun doing our wedding portraits also, and it was a highlight of our day to take that quiet moment together and see it reflected in the wonderful photos we received.

We are so grateful that we went with Karena, and we hope that you do as well! Her work is impeccable and she has a wonderful personality. We were completely satisfied with our experience and hope to work with her again in the future.

Look no further! Karena is amazing!

Karena has a gift and I am so thankful we had her capture our wedding day! From the moment we started talking to her, we knew she was the right fit. Not only does she take the most beautiful photos, but she is so down to earth, kind and truly makes you feel so comfortable. Getting photos taken of yourself, especially for your wedding, can be scary and uncomfortable but she guided us the whole way and truly got all the right angles. She was always there for all the right moments and she was a pleasure to work with. LOOK NO FURTHER--you will be making the best decision hiring Karena as your photographer for any occasion. She is amazing and I thank her for all my beautiful wedding photos I will forever cherish. :)

Remarkable

If you need a photographer for your wedding, or literally anything, hire her immediately. She is everything you could ever want in a photographer. She has the perfect combination of helping you with poses and pictures, but also capturing photos in the moment. I don't normally post reviews, but I just want everyone else to get the amazing pictures that she has given my husband and I for the rest of our lives.

Wonderful photographer!

Karena is so wonderful to work with! She took my wife and I’s engagement and wedding photos and we can’t believe how beautiful each one has turned out. She’s flexible, traveled for our wedding, and helped us feel comfortable the whole time working with her. As a same-sex couple, she did a great job capturing us a couple, not as sisters/friends. She was also great at being unobtrusive during the wedding, but yet captured the perfect photos at just the right moments. She was willing to make additional edits on some of our photos, and again, made them look better than we even envisioned. The natural, but professional, look of her photos is what drew is to Karena originally and we’re so happy to have found her. We can’t recommend her highly enough and can’t wait for her to capture our future photographs!

Awesome Photographer!

Karena was awesome throughout our maternity shoot and our wedding! She was so helpful and very professional. Very happy with how our pictures came out both for the maternity session and our wedding. We will definitely be using her for a newborn shoot and future family portraits!
