A sunrise session couldn’t have been more perfect for the bride who’s smile is warms a room like sunshine and for her groom who’s eyes sparkle like reflected sun when he looks at her. Maya and Joe are a fairytale couple with their charm, grace and charism. We had an amazing time strolling the sleepy streets of Philly with […]

These two tug at my heart-strings. They are the sweetest couple and so completely, head over heels in love it. We spent a perfect, Saturday morning spreading that love around downtown Annapolis. Sunday is the big day and I cannot wait to capture their commitment, joy and all their family and friends gathered to celebrate. […]

Sailboats, sunshine and a stunning couple. Colleen and Ethan are such a super sweet couple. They traveled from Arlington to Colleen’s family home in Oxford, Maryland for their engagement shoot. It was such a fun and relaxing afternoon with new friends. I’m so thrilled to be shooting their wedding at the Hyatt Chesapeake Bay!

I’ve been holding onto these until Bekah returned from her semester in Africa not knowing they would serve as pre-engagement photos! Brandon proposed the moment she landed! We’re so over joyed for them. These images were shot on what was probably the coldest day of the longest winter. We were frozen through. Popsicles were […]

So many wonderful things and people to blog about from the photography conference in Santa Barbara last week. Sunrise, vineyard shoots with wedding models. Sunset yacht shoots with senior and engagement models. Finding friends on the beach at sunrise. Palm trees, mountains. Salty sea air. This time away learning and connecting was good for my […]

They met during their nine month fellowship at the Trinity Forum Academy. We were his host family and immediately aware that Caleb fancied Shannon. It was an unmistakeable adoration that only grew stronger with the passing months. We teased Caleb at family dinners and encouraged him to bring Shannon each time after. By Thanksgiving, we […]

Natalie and Brian. Theirs is the kinda love story that inspires novels. They’ve known each other their whole lives. Literally. Their moms were friends while pregnant. Play dates as children and attending the same private school. By their junior year of high school they were dating and making plans to attend Messiah College after graduation. […]
- rachel and nash
She was the perfect photographer for our big day! Leading up to the big day, she is very thorough on making sure she knows the style of your wedding and what you are hoping for from her pictures. On the big day she was amazing. She made some of the people that were uncomfortable getting their pictures taken relax, and she really got some beautiful candid pictures.
"Karena goes above and beyond to make sure your picture dreams come true."
- rebecca and james
Our engagement shoot and wedding photos came out absolutely beautifully, and they are so representative of us as a couple. Karena is fun and easy-going and helped to make our wedding day the most magical! Hiring her for our wedding was the best decision, and our wedding photos are perfection— a beautiful reminder to a very special day.
"Words cannot express how much we loved working with Karena."

I honestly can not say enough good things about Karena. She is an absolutely amazing photographer. I am the luckiest bride in the world that she traveled a thousand miles to photograph my wedding. I was very nervous going into our engagement photo session, but after about fifteen minutes into our engagement photo session it felt as if Karena was part of our family.
"Karena is not only an amazing photographer, but she is one of the nicest people I have ever met."
