Joanna was the perfect wedding photographer! Her attention to detail and preparedness helped us have a completely stress-free wedding day. Joanna made the whole picture-taking process extremely easy and fun. She had us fill out a complete questionnaire to make sure we got every possible picture that we would've wanted and so she knew what pictures were most important to us. After the wedding, we were shocked at how quickly she was able to get our pictures back to us. Joanna was even able to send us a specific picture just a few days after our wedding to accommodate the funeral of a loved one who attended our wedding. Carina Photographics is very professional and yet perfectly personal. I would highly recommend Joanna for any occasion, especially weddings!

Joanna was so wonderful to work with! She got so many amazing shots of our big day! She was great to comunicate with, local, and right on time with when she said the photos would be ready. We couldn't recommend her enough.

After having Glasser Images legitimately scam us out of hundreds of dollars along with thousands of other cupples durring the pandemic, working with her was a breath of fresh air!!

My family and I recently had our family portrait taken with Joanna at her studio and had a wonderful experience and beautiful photos we’ll cherish forever. Joanna’s a fantastic photographer! She’s professional, has an eye for detail, listens to you, easy going, and fun to work with. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for beautiful photos and a great photoshoot experience and here’s why.

Prior to the day of our photoshoot, Joanna walked us through details to help us understand what to expect, while listening to our ideas of what we were hoping to capture from the photoshoot as well. She helped us design our coordinating outfits, (as I didn’t realize so much goes into that!), and we discussed the “day of” expectations. It was helpful for me, as I am a detail person, and wanted to be absolutely prepared for my husband, young son, and I.

On the day of our photoshoot, we were excited, and I have to admit I was a bit nervous, but the moment we stepped foot in Joanna’s studio we really felt like stars. Joanna put lovely details into her studio and it makes you feel comfortable and glamorous at the same time. I honestly believe that speaks to Joanna as a photographer as well. She helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera so we could have real smiles and just be ourselves. I feel she actually captured us being us in that moment, but in a studio with lights and a camera. We had so much fun! When the shoot was over, we actually wished we could do more, but will have to save those ideas for a future family photo with Joanna.

Joanna created the most gorgeous, archival quality portraits for/of me that I will enjoy for the rest of my life! Working with her is a dream as she is sensitive, skilled, light-hearted and collaborative and has a wonderful sense of humor. Her design sense and her ability to capture the essence of a subject are both wonderful and obvious in the result. If you want portraits of and for your life, this is the artist!

Joanna took her time to get to know me and my husband. She personalized the shoot around this, and was able to capture our personalities through her photography. Top notch service, highly recommend Joanna for any photography needs you may have.

We had an amazing experience working with Carina Photographics for my daughter's senior pictures! Joanna took time to learn who my daughter is, her unique skills and interests, and what makes her shine. She helped us choose the perfect venue.

The session was a breeze and she helped quickly transform my daughter's photo shoot jitters. The photo reveal session was enjoyable and we LOVE the final images. We'd choose Joanna again in a heartbeat! Thanks for sharing your talents with us!

Joanna was the perfect photographer for our wedding day. She captured so many wonderful moments. We met with Joanna prior to our wedding so she knew what pictures we wanted to make sure to have. It was so much fun to go to her studio after the wedding to see and relive those great moments. So many great pictures! Thank You Joanna for helping us keep these memories.

I went into this photo shoot thinking we would get our engagement pics as something we "had to do". I think kinda your typical guy kinda thought. Wow was I wrong! I now suggest getting couples pics to everyone I know for any reason. If you're thinking about doing something special in your relationship... get a couples photo shoot. I'm talking to the guys here... make this happen, make this an event, plan a nice dinner after you won't regret it.

What a great date! My -now- wife and I had such a good time together doing this photo shoot! Joannas studio is comfortable and Joanna is so personal, professional, fun and the pictures are amazing!

5 star reviews, her portfolio and the awards says it all.
