Meet Karina

With nearly two decades of experience behind the lens, I’ve had the privilege of telling countless stories across Southern California and beyond. 

My grandmother gave me my first camera while I was still a young child in Brazil, and she had no idea she had just handed me my future. But with every overwhelming moment of beauty and connection I documented on my faithful Kodak Instamatic, I fell more in love with the powerful magic of photography. Finally, my passion inspired me to move to the United States, where I pursued my art at Santa Monica College while simultaneously working at a local wedding and portrait studio. 

Many of my couples share that they didn’t even notice I was there capturing the intimate moments of their day. Yet, when they see the photos, they’re blown away by the depth of emotion captured. It’s that ability to blend into the day while still guiding when necessary that ensures every wedding is beautifully documented. 

Whether it’s your engagement, wedding, or family portraits down the road, my goal is to be there for every milestone, preserving each chapter of your love story with care and artistry.
