Just be yourself,
I'll do the rest. 

Hey, I'm Karena!

I'm a North Carolina wedding and portrait photographer who is here to SERVE + SUPPORT YOU. 100% Inclusive - all love is welcome.

When choosing your photographer, it's important to find someone who's images you LOVE - it's very common to feel uncomfortable in front of the camera, but my goal is for you to feel like I'm not even there! Be yourself - that's what I thrive to capture<3

THE JOURNEY BEGINS

It’s so heartwarming when my style connects with a couple like you. I invite you to get in touch with a few details about your vision.

Look for a reply from me within 72 hours so we can discuss your vision on a complimentary consultation call. We’ll have the chance to connect, share, and learn.

Shortly after our chat, your date will be reserved with a completed proposal, submitted retainer, and your signatures. Then, I’ll connect with you or your planner to better understand the logistics that will help me capture the spirit of your wedding.

Karena was absolutely amazing

My husband and I had a small intimate wedding in November but the one thing we wanted to make sure to invest in was our wedding photographer. Karena was absolutely amazing, she is so full of life and fun energy and made our whole experience fun. Her photography is absolutely gorgeous, she was able to create the most beautiful feeling behind each picture. I couldn’t recommend her enough, she went above and beyond what I even thought was possible. ❤️
