Hello, friends! I’m Joanna Carina, a Minneapolis-St Paul MN fine art photographer who loves capturing weddings, engagements, families, seniors and more. I use my fine art vision to artfully photograph you, your loved ones, and every memorable moment along the way. Witnessing the laughter, joy, and tears of happiness from each remarkable person I photograph is such an honor. Every photograph we capture together will live on as treasured family heirlooms and fill your home with life and love.
FUN FACTS ABOUT JOANNA
~ I’m adventurous and love to travel. You can find me hiking through the outback of Australia, sailing through the karst islands of Thailand, or wandering around the Moai statues of Easter Island.
~ I have 20+ years of photography and art direction experience. Leave the lighting, composition, pose directing, and photography planning to me!
~ I love tent camping under the stars. My ultimate goal is to explore every National Park in the country. I’m well on my way!
