Clients coming full circle!
The little one will be arriving any day
now.
I am very thankful to have clients, like Adriana and Todd, who come back to me, years after I photograph their wedding, to capture their budding new addition to their family! When I greeted Adriana for her Colette maternity session her eyes filled with tears. I had to do all I could to hold in my tears so we could stop her makeup from running down her face for the photoshoot! Her big beautiful smile reassured me that this was a happy cry;) It's moments like these that remind me daily of the many reasons why I love what I do.
Some background on Adriana and Todd's wedding. My photographs of their wedding provided the images for Kohl Mansions advertisement for years featuring Paula le Duc's Fine Catering. Here are some images from the Kohl Mansion web site of their wedding.
"Thanks for being so prompt!!! All the photos are so beautiful, I never thought I looked so hot pregnant! It is all you!!! You are amazing, that was not me... at all!!! I would LOVE to be able to give an album to Todd for Valentine's Day! I can't wait to see Todd's face when he sees the little book you are going to put together! I can't wait to do more photos with Todd and the baby!!!! " -Adriana

Dava Guthmiler is almost to good to be true
Dava Guthmiler is the founder of Pow.wow, an inviting and resourceful women's
networking group fueled by the power of fabulous women. Her talents are many
and you can see it all here at Noise 13. Noise
13 is Dava's visual branding design studio that can take you all the
way from identity to interior design. Her talent and her team will take you
were you want to go. Dava is the real thing and I can't get enough of
her.
"When Karina told me about her portraits of women sessions it took my trust in her to get me to make an appointment. I'm a social butterfly, but I'm not used to being photographed. I usually don't like photo of me anyways. But believe me, taking half a day off work to get your makeup done and photos taken really feels like being spoiled. Which we all need once in a while. I have to admit, I love me photos and I will go back again. Karina is wonderful at finding the beautiful woman in all of us." - Dava Guthmiler
Two of Dava's favorites from her portrait session here in the studio with beautiful natural light.

It's all about the girls when your talking wedding planning.
Here we are me (Karina), Leighsa
Smyser of Branch Out Flowers, and the ever so lovely Lora Horvath of Save the Date Weddings and
Events. We got to hang out outside of a wedding at the Peggy Post Wedding Etiquette Event at the
Fairmont Hotel coordinated by the super fabulous Amy
Nichols, of Amy Nichols Special Events. Thanks Amy for posting these
fun images and to Lora for letting me know about them;) That was a fun night we
enjoyed with Djata Grant now with Grisez
Events. Congratulations Djata and
Alice!
Here we are bonding about wedding terminology. Agreeing that Bestman = Bestwoman (not Maid/Matron of Honor).

I truly can not say enough good things about
Rebecca's talent as an impeccably thorough wedding coordinator and exceedingly
talented visionary of the perfect wedding day in my mind. Not only is her
website beautiful, her sense of the artful flow of the wedding day is elegant,
timeless and fresh all at the same time. Rebecca
Feeny of Custom Event Group will exceed your
expectations.
"Karina is one of a kind. I've worked with dozens and dozens of photographers over the years, and it's so rare to find someone with a lovely balance of obvious talent, generosity, and authentic care and concern for others.
Karina is thorough, in the pre wedding meetings, on site while shooting, and even until every photo is edited and presented to the client. Her energy level is amazing! How does she do it??? Her smile and excited energy are the same at 11PM as they are at noon. Her stamina and love for what she does guarantee that no good shot is missed....her coverage of the wedding day is complete and just beautiful. I stand behind Karina and her work." -Rebecca Feeny, Custom Event Group
