I believe that Briana is my last 2011 senior model rep, for now. I was searching for reps for Brighton High School and thought I wouldn’t have one this year, but luckily a friend directed Briana my way (thanks Tenley). I love it when I get to photograph kids who are involved in a hobby or sport and are dedicated. This was a fun “mini” session for me, and I hope it was for Briana, too. Thanks for being a rep for Karina G Photography and I hope you like what we captured. Enjoy!

It has been a really busy time for me lately, which I don’t mind. Gearing up for high school senior season is something I look forward to every year. I have some great senior reps for the 2011 graduating class and Leah S. is another one. Her session was easy, because she has a great look and knows how to work the camera. Leah has been dancing since she was 3 years old and would like to pursue dancing, acting and modeling in the future. I believe she will be on the big screen someday and I can say, “I knew her when” and “hey, I photographed her senior photos!” Leah, I hope you like your photos from your rep session and I can’t wait to photograph your full session in the summer; especially to get some dance shots. If you see Leah or any of our senior reps at your school in the near future, be sure to ask them for a referral card to get some free prints with your senior session. Enjoy!
