I am thrilled that my senior site is back up and running!! YEAH!!!  No more headache for me. Thank you for your patience; that day and a half seemed like a lifetime. So, please go and check it out and I will be updating it soon with new images of recent seniors. Have a great night!

Last night, unfortunately, something happened on the hosting part of my site and my beautiful senior site was wiped clean. A photographer’s Nightmare, let me tell you. As I sit here at 8:20 a.m., I am nervous, angry, sad, and feeling very anxious about this whole mess, but am very hopeful that it will be up and running by tomorrow. I do have all the galleries saved, thankfully, but the whole site itself, with all the technical mumbo jumbo that goes along with it, I do not, because it is being held captive by the site template designer. Yet, a 911 email has been sent to them in hopes they will be able to restore it. I have had issues with hosts in the past, and I thought I had found the one, but as you can see, I have not. So, I ask for your patience during this temporary blackout. I know there are some of you who have galleries in there and I promise they are still there, we just have to wait to see when the site can be restored. Their site says they are open Mon-Friday, but I am hoping somebody does work the weekend shift and will respond to my 911 Site Down shout out.

I have had some awesome sessions lately, and have been plugging away at them night after night. If you are interested in booking a senior session, please contact me via email at karina@karinagphotography.com or at 517-546-6654. I have a couple of openings for the third and fourth week of September available, or in October.

Again, I appreciate your patience and understanding. I am doing everything I can not to pull my hair out. I am off to continue proofing before my youngest is up and about ready to do more school shopping. Wish me luck all the way around today, please.

Photographing Hannah was such a pleasure. She is such a down to earth young lady and so real. I was so pleased when she and her mother said they were open to anything I had in mind. I really wanted to shoot out in my field and she was just the right person to do this with. I was so pleased on the outcome and I hope Hannah approves. Thank you for your patience and kindness. Here is your sneak peek. I will have the whole session to you hopefully by the end of next week. Enjoy!

Above, I love the way the light wraps around her in this shot.

Derek is one of Karina G Photography’s senior model reps. He is very talented and plays varsity tennis and baseball. Derek recently found out that he was named to the All-State Academic Baseball Team for Division II. Congratulations! We had fun at his session regardless of the mystery animal in the bushes; thanks for putting up with my whimpiness. Enjoy the sneak peek; the rest will be ready this upcoming week.

I threw some texture on the photo above and liked how it turned out. Hope you do too.

The long awaited sneak peek. I have been so busy photographing seniors and with that comes proofing; and I have a lot of it. But I am not complaining, not at all. I LOVE MY JOB!  I knew Fred’s photos were going to be “cool” because I just loved shooting at the football field. It was HOT, but he was so easy to photograph. Thanks for making my job easy, Fred, and I hope you are up and around soon!

One of my favorite images from his session.

I am now fully booked for the month of August, and am scheduling for September and October. September is on its way to being full, so act now and book your session; especially you high school seniors. Most schools have a yearbook deadline at the end of October, so booking now would give you ample time for the cut off.  Plan ahead and schedule now because proudly, I only take a very limited amount of sessions per month in order to keep the quality of each session and photos up to par.

I have had so much fun photographing upcoming seniors and have been so busy proofing sessions. I will do my best to update the blog with current photos, just please be patient with me. Sneak peeks are on their way. Right now however, I am off to the waterpark with my Bella and her bff, to enjoy the water and sun. Have a great afternoon!
