10th Wedding Anniversary in Pittsburgh: Stacy and Dae
Stacy and Dae have a special connection with Pittsburgh, so it was only natural that they came over to celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary.
We spent an hour capturing their feelings for each other and the city vibes and colors and these were their favorite portraits from our session.

Portraits on the go: Artists Palette of Death Valley
I always look forward to using my camera on our trips, and not only to capture the memories of the beautiful places we visit. It’s a great opportunity for practicing quick reaction to a photogenic situation, focusing fast, and choosing your composition before your family loses patience and runs away to the next point of interest.
Lacrosse Fan
Lacrosse is Alena’s favorite sport. She fell in love with it last spring, right before the lockdown, and it was one of the things that kept her motivated to go outside, to use the new free time and to learn new skills. I’m really proud of what you've achieved in the past 12 months.
Portraits on the go: Death Valley National Park, California
Our favorite pastime as a family is traveling and documenting what we see. These portraits are from our latest trip to Death Valley in California where we hiked from Zabriskie Point into the desert.
Sarah’s Family Portraits
Most photographers offer a rain date in case the weather isn’t ideal for perfect sunset photos. What if your family’s schedule is so packed that there’s no space for an alternative date and it’s pouring with rain on the shoot date despite all “sunny” weather forecasts? I have a whole collection of photoshoots when we seriously considered postponing the session, then went ahead regardless of the “lemons” the universe gave us and made beautiful, bright, and colorful portraits just because we felt like it.
Gulmira’s 2nd Birthday Photos
This precious feeling when your clients like your images so much that they order a whole album that will look fantastic on their shelf.
I’m really glad that Azamat and Nuriza trusted me with documenting this precious milestone in their family’s life.
Happy 2nd birthday, Gulmira! I look forward to seeing you grow into a breathtaking beauty.
Brookie’s 3rd Birthday Photos
“The pictures are amazing ! “
- Melissa B., mother
Diane’s Family Mini-Session
“Our shoot was scheduled on a bit of a dreary day, and a few of our subjects just weren't feeling it. Karina was well prepared, upbeat, and she really listened and made the shoot fun. When she sent proofs, I was floored. So bright and happy! I wanted them all, but we ended up choosing about half. Excellent experience - thank you!!”
- Diane H.
Carol and William’s 55th Wedding Anniversary
I love photographing extended family sessions as I strongly believe that grandparents play a huge role in the lives of their grandchildren.
Alima’s Family Session
“Karina is full of amazing ideas and if you are not sure what to do for your photo session, she will give you clear guidelines and suggestions so you won’t be lost.“

Lifestyle Snow Portraits for the Wall
As far as winter photography goes, fresh snow ranks second only to the Christmas lights. It’s so light and clean and beautiful, like in a fairytale. Is it too cold to pose in a fancy outfit? Who cares! Put on a warm coat, hat and gloves and get the most out of the day.
