Hello there! I'm Karina, a proud military wife and mom to two amazing kids, Grey and Noah. Our journey as a military family has taken us to many places, but right now, we're rooted in the beautiful Hampton Roads area of Virginia. As a fellow military family, we understand the challenges of finding the perfect neighborhood, discovering the best local restaurants, and, of course, locating that go-to photographer to capture your special moments. We've been there, and I get it! Now, I'm not just a military spouse and mom; I'm also a passionate photographer. Photography isn't just my job; it's my art and my joy. Whether you're a local or a visitor, I'm here to freeze your moments in time. From family portraits on the beach to the long awaited first kiss pier side. I'm dedicated to creating images that tell your unique story.
Thank you for considering me as your Virginia-based photographer and welcome to Virginia Beach through my Lens!

I'm Karina

hi there!

hey!

That moment when the giggles get louder and the personal gestures get sweeter are the moments I want to capture.

Hampton Roads Black Female Photographer

My Why..

LETS WORK TOGETHER

As a military spouse, I understand how strenuous this unique lifestyle can be on children, marriage, and family as a whole. I know first-hand how difficult it is to move cross-country, saying goodbye to friends, and starting all over again.

I also know how proud military families are of their service member and the sacrifices they make. I am proud to capture these special moments for military families living in San Diego.

Photographing military homecomings fill my heart with pride and joy.
It is an honor to capture the love and emotion of a military family reuniting after a long deployment. It is a privilege to witness first-hand and to know the joy and relief that comes over a military family when they are finally reunited. Knowing they will have albums and artwork to look back at their service or time as family brings me pure joy.

I get the privilege of telling your story so that you may be present in it.
As a military spouse, I am proud of my husband and his service to our country. And as a photographer, I am proud to capture these special moments for military families living in San Diego.

Client Kind words:

Karina did our fall family photos last year and they came out A-MA-ZING!! She was extremely patient and creative during our shoot and I’m glad we were able to capture those special moments before we left San Diego!
