Hello there! I'm Karina — a photographer, lifelong creative observer, and proud elder emo who fits an alarming number of millennial stereotypes.
✌🏽
I’m a Texas native and San Antonio-based photographer drawn to the beauty of everyday life: the people, places, little moments, and imperfect details that are easy to overlook when we’re busy getting from one thing to the next. My work is a mix of street and lifestyle photography, portraits, travel, live music, and anything else that makes me stop and think, “Wait… that’s a really cool photo."
I shoot both digital and film, because each offers something different. Film encourages me to slow down and be intentional, while digital gives me the freedom to experiment and capture moments as they happen. I enjoy having both approaches and letting the subject, moment, and mood guide how I photograph it.
When I’m not behind a camera, I enjoy exploring local coffee shops, snuggling my dogs, watching TV/Anime, listening to music, and finding the next place to travel to. I’m a big fan of the simple things in life—good food, new places, familiar comforts, and spending time with the people (and dogs) I love.
SadalySnaps is my way of slowing down, paying attention, sharing my creativity and appreciating life in every format.
