GET TO KNOW THE PHOTOGRAPHER
Hi, I’m Karina — a natural light, on-location photographer serving Brantford and throughout Ontario.
With over 17 years of experience photographing weddings, families, and newborns, I specialize in capturing both beautifully timeless portraits and the real, meaningful moments in between. My sessions are relaxed, joy-filled, and designed to help you feel comfortable and truly yourselves — so your images feel genuine and effortless.
I’m a wife to Brian and a mama to four. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll usually find me enjoying a good cup of coffee, baking (quickly becoming a favourite hobby), reading, gardening, or dreaming up our next family adventure.
If you’re looking for heartfelt, natural imagery and an experience that feels easy and fun, I’d love to connect and help you preserve this season of your life.
photography style
My sessions are all about celebrating the giggles, the snuggles, and the beautifully messy, magical moments that make up your family’s story. From newborn snuggles to wild toddler adventures and the in-between moments you never want to forget, I’m there to capture it all. With gentle guidance, playful prompts, and an eye for connection, your gallery will be a mix of heartfelt candid moments and timeless portraits that reflect this season of your life.
LOCATION
I love photographing families in beautiful, natural settings such as beaches, open fields, and scenic trails, as well as in the comfort of your own home where kids can relax and be themselves. Home sessions are especially great for creating natural, meaningful images in a space that already feels familiar and loved. If you’re unsure where to shoot, I’m always happy to suggest locations that fit your family and the feel you’re hoping for.
Timing
Typically family & maternity sessions are planned for the evening in the last hour or so before sunset. This is when the lighting is most flattering and creates a beautiful glow.
Newborn sessions are planned during the day for when baby is most content. I tend to photograph newborns anytime between 7 days to 3 months old. The younger they are the more sleepy they typically are during the session.
season
What season do you want to have your family documented in this year? Each season has it's own perks. The spring brings beautiful blossoms, the summer has warm, playful evenings on the beach, fall with it's rich colours and leaves and winter with it's fresh bright white snow. All seasons are beautiful for different reasons. Keep in mind what you want to do with the photos. Do you want the colours in the photos to coordinate in your home? Then pick a season that can match with the feel of your space.
waRDROBE STYLING
I love to help give ideas and tips for what to wear at your session. I know this can be a little stressful when planning for your photos. I am here to help! Once you have booked your session I will share my online guide to assist you through choosing your outfits.
DELIVERY
Typically sessions take about 3-4 weeks to edit. Once they are complete you will receive your images in an online gallery where you will be able to download the high-resolution and web-sized images for your personal use. From this gallery you will also have the option to print photos directly from my lab.

Newborn sessions are a sweet and relaxed way to celebrate your new baby and this exciting season. Best for babies aged 0–3 months, these sessions are baby-led and easygoing, allowing time for snuggles, feeds, and breaks as needed.

HOW DO WE BOOK?
Once you are ready to book please email me to let me know. I require a non-refundable retainer fee and contract signed to add your name on my calendar. Final payment is due the day of the session.
WHAT IF IT RAINS?
If the weather is not looking great then we can definitely reschedule for a better day. This can even apply to indoor newborn sessions as I heavily depend on natural light.
WHAT IF my child doesn't cooperate?
I like to keep my sessions moving and playful. I know little ones do not sit for very long so I totally work with that and keep everyone moving. I definitely recommend bringing along some of their favourite snacks (that won't get their clothes dirty!) to help keep the energy and excitement up.
I’ll walk you through everything, from choosing a location to what to wear. Message me to let me know, and we’ll get a date set. Thank you so much for stopping by — I can’t wait to capture your family’s special moments!
READY TO BOOK?
I'm So excited!!
