I live in Charlotte, North Carolina with my husband of 25 years. I went to school for child therapy and I was a family therapist for 18 years. However, my passion has always been photography. After many years of capturing my own family's special moments, I launched Kalina's Photography in 2019. Thanks to my extensive experience working with kids, my clients tell me all the time that I am "extremely patient."
Why Hire Me
Hiring a portrait photographer is an investment in your memories. I have my dream of capturing glimpse of your family's milestones that will keep for a lifetime.

My style is minimalist and organic to focus on you as the subject, I love pastel colors and sometimes I create a pop of colors with dark backdrops. Checkout my portfolio to see more of work. Do know that I offer in your home lifestyle photoshoots and in my studio posed with a mixed of lifestyle as well.
My Studio
My home studio provides professional lighting and props needed for capturing your beautiful photos. Please know that my current studio is on my second floor. I do maternities, newborns and families in my studio.
On Location
I also do a lot of outdoor sessions around Charlotte, NC. Check out my portfolio for ideas of locations I have shot previously and message me with your requests.
At Your Home
At the request of several clients I also do in your home lifestyle photography. I have many clients who prefer to stay in the comfort of their homes and show off their baby's nursery. Clients who desire to do lifestyle sessions at home, they want more hands on baby photos, so I will ask what time is the most active time at your home including but not limited to feeding baby, cuddling, changing baby and more. This kind of session is for me to capture your life with your brand new baby in a more organic lightly to no posing.
