Meet Carina

Couples and weddings are my specialties but I also shoot boudoir, maternity, and senior photos.

I have been in love with photography for such a long time but took the leap to start taking clients a little over a year and a half ago. I’m also a freelance makeup artist and hairstylist and I’ve worked on brides and models and worked #NYSFW15 and my work was on the cover of Nicas magazine. I have experience working in the beauty world as well as the wedding world thanks to my time at Blonde and Brunette Events.



The reason I’ve loved photography for such a long time, besides the age-old ‘because time stands still’ answer (which is still very much true), is because you can make the moment how you want it. Photographs aren’t only meant for special occasions. Sometimes people want nice/fun/spicy photos JUST BECAUSE THEY WANT TO and I am 100% here for it. On top of ‘just because’, weddings are meant to be remembered and not stressing because you can’t afford quality pictures to remember your special day. I don’t want to knock down anyone who has different pricing, but this is just how I roll. I want everyone to acknowledge the idea of Romancing Your Life.

You’ll look back on these photos when you’re older and realize you’re glad to have these memories (and that body, am I right?!). 



You're the main character...

I know a lot of realistic minds will say ‘I can just take the pictures myself’ or ‘I just need a tripod’. And yes, yes you can. And even I have a hard time breaking down and purchasing things for myself. But don’t think of this as something for yourself, only for now, it’s for “future you”. I know you’re the one that takes pictures of everyone else and you’re in the important pictures but you know you are the main character right? Maybe you’re still thinking ‘I don’t know the first thing about posing’, ‘we don’t know how to look good in pictures’ or ‘I would feel weird getting cozy in front of the camera’.

Those are all valid reasons to be timid. But, that’s what I’m here for. I am a hardcore introvert and I know it’s hard to break that comfort shell but I’m here to make sure your laughs and smiles are genuine. 

If you’re interested in a session but not sure what type, you can always contact me and we can find your vibe. Maybe you already have a vision in mind and want to see it come to life, I’m here!
