ABOUT me
Hi, I’m Karina
I’m a professional photographer with over six years of experience.
I was born and raised in Odesa, Ukraine — a city by the sea, full of light, freedom, and emotion. Three years ago, my journey brought me to the United States, and I truly fell in love with this country — its nature, open spaces, and incredible light. Capturing this beauty brings me deep joy and inspiration.
My relationship with photography began more than ten years ago, back in my student years. I picked up a camera and started photographing everything around me — my friends, animals, nature, everyday moments. At that time, it was pure passion. I never imagined photography could become my profession or something people would trust me with so deeply.
After the birth of my first child and returning from maternity leave, I felt a powerful creative awakening. I enrolled in a photography school, and that’s when I fully immersed myself in the world of visual storytelling. Since then, I’ve grown not only as a photographer, but as a person — learning to see beauty in real moments and quiet emotions.
Today, I deeply believe that photography is a way to do good.
To bring joy.
To preserve memories that will live on for years — and sometimes for generations.
My goal is not just to create beautiful images, but to capture authenticity. Real connections. Honest emotions. The kind of moments that become priceless memories over time.
I’m endlessly grateful to every person and family who invites me into their lives and trusts me with their stories. For me, photography is never “just a job” — it’s a meaningful exchange, a shared experience, and a small but important part of your journey.
