Hello & Welcome

Whether you were referred to my page or randomly stumbled upon it, I’m so glad to have you here! I’m a small-town North Carolina photographer and mama of two. I started playing around with photography back in my junior year of high school and once I started, it snowballed into one of my biggest passions in life. I love spending my day capturing people’s happiest moments; surprise engagements, meeting a new life at their newborn session and then witnessing their growth at their cake smash a year later, magical weddings, and so many other wonderful milestones. The ability to capture a moment like that and freeze it in time forever is what makes this so special to me. When you book a session with me, I strive not only to be your photographer, but to form a lasting relationship where we brainstorm ideas and enjoy the products of hard work - together. In my gallery, you’ll see the results of years’ worth of relationships built and hard work put in. Be sure to check out my gallery while you’re here and let me know how I can capture your special moments!

Carina did a great job at taking pictures for my newborn son , love her work and her patients she has to work with babies . Would go back to her in the future

Lineth Martinez, Maternity

Carina was super sweet and made me feel comfortable throughout the shoot! She made rescheduling due to weather conditions convenient as well. I also received my digital gallery just a few days later! I cannot wait until we work with her again. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Lisa Lane, Newborn Session

Carina is great! She did really well with my almost one month old. Really enjoyed the session, and looking forward to booking with her again in the future. Highly recommended.

Hannah O'Keeffe, Wedding

Carina is absolutely wonderful to work with. She is amazingly talented at what she does and really works with her clients to ensure that the pictures turn out to be exactly what they want! It was wonderful to know on our wedding day that our pictures were being taken care of and I did not have to worry! She went above and beyond and I will always recommend her to anyone who is looking a photographer!!! 💜

Carina is by far the best photographer I’ve had the pleasure of working with! She goes beyond what you expect and her pictures turn out so so amazing. She’s kind, sweet and so patient. She will hands down be my forever photographer for as long as she’s taking pictures!! I definitely highly recommend her

Alexandria Ich, Maternity Photos

Carina is the best! She did our maternity shoot and the pictures turned out so beautiful! After many different shots, she didn't want to end the shoot without looking up more ideas for our photos. She's the sweetest and has a great personality making the shoot fun. I'm already excited for our newborn session

“Carina is the best ! She’s went out and beyond for my family in so many ways . She is able to just about anything you ask her . Want to dangle from the ceiling and get your pictures done she can do it! She’s THAT AMAZING!! she’s so sweet to deal with especially when you have a child who don’t want to act right when taking them😂 (just like mine) so I would give her a 100 out of 100 she’s that good! She’s always been considered family to us anyways ❤️”
