I will do my absolute best to make your experience with Karina G Photography AWESOME (yes, I do say awesome quite often).

Enjoy your visit!

Lyndsey, 2013 Senior Model Rep {Brighton Senior Photographer}

It was a super busy last week, but it was fun meeting Lyndsey and her mom, Lisa. I love getting to know my clients, but especially my reps. I tend to talk too much, or so I’ve been told, so my sessions that start off to be 30 minutes end up taking an hour and a half or so, and I know it’s because I love to chat! But I really enjoy getting to know these kids and all about their lives. Anyhow, sorry Lyndsey if I got sidetracked at times, lol, but I know you are going to have a very bright future as a teacher. I am happy to have Lyndsey on board as a 2013 Senior Model Rep from Brighton High School. She will be handing out referral cards at school next week, so be sure to grab one to get some freebies when you book your senior session for this summer.

Hunter, 2013 Senior Model Rep {Byron Senior Photographer}

I love my job. I have said this too many times to count, but getting to photograph those people that I have known for many years, kids now young adults, makes me so happy. Hunter’s family and I have been friends for years, so I remember him as a little guy running around with his cousins, actually following them around because he was the youngest. He was always a little quieter, a bit more shy, at least when I was around. This makes me laugh because his parents are so not this way…(I love you Julia and Chuck) They raised some super nice, respectable kids, which does reflect on who they truly are.  Anyhow, I am just so honored that they chose me for to capture their daughter Alyssa’s senior portraits this past year and now Hunter’s, and to have him on board as a senior model rep for me, is icing on the cake. Here are just a few samples of what we shot early last week and there are more on my Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/KarinaGPhotography. If you know Hunter or attend Byron High School, find him and ask him for a referral card to get some freebies when you schedule your senior session with Karina G Photography. I would LOVE to photograph you and capture a little piece of you for your senior year – I promise we will have a good time!  Read below the photos to find out a little more about Hunter.

Kaitlyn 2012 Senior Canton High School {Senior Photography)

I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Kaitlyn, from Canton High School, last week. She graduates in a few weeks, but I was thrilled to get her in and capture some beautiful images for her. It was a super windy day and every few minutes I said a prayer to mother nature begging her for a few breaks in order to get some shots without having her hair going crazy. It was a fun session and even though the clouds quickly came over us and lightning struck at the end of our session, we had a great time and I captured some stunning shots. I hope you love your senior portraits Kaitlyn! Thank you for choosing Karina G Photography for your senior portraits. Please tell your cousins that I say hello – and that I am glad they chose me too!

Meet Jordan Musson, Linden High School {Linden, Michigan Senior Photographer}

I am thrilled to announce our first 2013 Senior Model Rep, Jordan Musson, who attends Linden High School. I planned on only having a couple of reps this year and I was so happy that Jordan applied. I went to school with her mother, Lori Rinz Musson, so it was great to catch up with Lori and see what a genuinely good hearted daughter she raised. They have such a close and open relationship that any mother would be envious of. I look forward to working with both of them throughout the year. If you see Jordan around school or out and about, be sure to get a referral card from her to get some free wallets from your own session this summer.
