Karina | Arizona Based Photographer

I am a native to Arizona experienced photographer in the industry for over 13 years. My studio is based in the heart of Phoenix and Scottsdale. I photograph all over the valley and at my studio which is located off 32nd Street & Shea.

I love my job, meeting new people, and getting to snuggle newborn babies. I can't wait to get to know you and your family!

01.


Fact 1


I'm a married homeschool mama of two busy boys and we have one fur daughter. My business sometimes involves the help from my little family so you may see them learning the ropes or helping out from time to time. As a family we love to travel and explore.

02.


Fact 2


Taking photos was my favorite hobby as a child and I proceeded to take photography in college. I began photographing families about 13 years ago and I've been a studio owner for over 7 years now.

03.


Fact 3


I've taken educational courses for newborn posing and safety over the years. I plan to continue my education by taking updated informational courses regularly.

04.


Fact 4


I am only 5 feet tall so you may catch me standing on a stool during your session. Ice coffee is my love language. I try to never miss a sunrise or sunset. I’m a chips/fries over cake any day, type of girl. I listen to so many types of music but country is what you’ll usually catch on my radio.

05.


Fact 5


For those interested: I use a Canon R6 and I typically stick to my 50 1.4L, but occasionally like to use my 24-70L when I’m outdoors. In studio I use my off camera light for certain sessions but my studio also provides beautiful natural light as another option.

Fact 6


I don’t have a green thumb by any means but I try! We do our best to live as cleanly as we can but also enjoy “In n Out, Fired Pie, Café Rio, Flowerchild & El Encanto”- it’s about balance, right?!

Fact 7


I’m really awkward in front of the camera but I’m really good at making others feel comfortable in front of the camera.
