Hi!!! I’m Karina, an Orange County photographer capturing nostalgic, film-inspired images with a fun, playful twist. I’m obsessed with golden hour, real connection, and the little moments that make your story yours.

Photography stole my heart the moment I realized how powerful it is to freeze a feeling — the kind you look back on years from now and instantly remember the warmth, the laughter, the movement, all of it. I’m not here for stiff poses or forced smiles. I’m here for the in-betweens: the way you look at each other when you think no one’s watching, the goofy moments that turn into real laughter, the cozy prompts that bring out true emotion.

My style blends soft film tones, warm light, and documentary storytelling — creating images that feel alive, nostalgic, and a little bit magical. When you’re in front of my camera, think of it as hanging out with a friend who hypes you up, guides you just enough, and lets you be completely yourself.

Whether we’re running around the beach, exploring a pretty corner of OC, or capturing a milestone you want to remember forever, I’m all about making your photos feel authentic, fun, and beautifully you.

Orange County based, traveling wherever love calls.
