Life's Beautiful Moments - Captured Through My Lens

intro-image
Wedding & Family Photographer serving Pender Island, Gulf Islands, and Vancouver, British Columbia


Hi, I’m Karena. Welcome to my page!


I am an award-winning portrait & landscape photographer. I strive to create the best image possible, using natural light whenever I can. I love capturing human connections and beautiful moments in wildly natural outdoor spaces.


My happy place is spending time in nature. My favourite mountain and seaside hiking trails are Singing Pass at Whistler and Beaumont Provincial Park on Pender Island.



I am grateful to live on the wildly natural Southern Gulf Islands in Canada, which is part of the unceded traditional territories of the W̱SÁNEĆ Indigenous people.

"Karena captured the essence of us in our wedding and engagement photos. We felt at ease in her presence which allowed us to both relax and express our true selves with each other! She worked with us to create images that we felt best represented us and who we are with each other. Her attention to detail allowed us to relax and enjoy the day. And her commitment to ensuring we had all the images we desired means we now have a collection of photos we love!"
