About Me


I have always had an interest in photography which grew during my traveling years around Europe, but it was becoming a mum of two active lads that lead me down the sports photography path and fuelled the desire to capture action images for others to enjoy of their own athletes. I know how much I love looking back on my little guys' images.

I have been studying photography for 4 years with SIT and am an A-grade photographer in the Rangiora Photographic Society. Both of these have helped me photograph a wide variety of genres and really cement a love of all photography but sports photography in particular.


I am based in the North Canterbury area, check out my testimonials below.

Testimonials

“Karina came to take some photos of Lily & her pony, Puku, out Equestrian eventing. Karina is a super lady that has a fabulous talent & eye for capturing a great shot. The sessions resulted in some fantastic fast action shots of the duo. We were really pleased with the outcome & very lucky to have Karina as our photographer!”

“I truly have nothing but the highest praise for the wonderful images Karina captured for my son's
10th birthday. He and his friends enjoyed a “Learning to Surf” party and Karina was both professional and unobtrusive. She managed to take photos of each child and their own surprising reactions, surfing for the first time and she managed to take group photos when the opportunities arose. She definitely captured the magic and fun of the day. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her to others.”
