Personal | 30 Days of Being Thankful – Day 12 | Michael and Carina Photography

We’re running a little behind on our 30 Days of Being Thankful Blog project (or #30DOT). Yesterday, we got some Christmas shopping done and were feeling a bit under the weather so we didn’t get on the computer much. Today we’re catching up though!

Personal | Jonas’ First Days in America | Washington DC and Virginia Visit | Michael and Carina Photography

I have been looking forward to this time for an entire year. My “little” brother, Jonas, has been a big part of my life ever since I was seven years old. We traveled together, studied together, went through thick and thin… now he is 16 years old and actually taller than me. It was the…

Personal Florida Photos | Williamsburg Wedding Photographers | Michael and Carina Photography

Man, palm trees, exotic fruits and animals, the beach. The sweet smell of oranges in the air, sunshine everyday. FLORIDA!!! What more could one want? We had such a good time shooting with our friends, whirlpool-ing and disney-ing. August, our dog, had a blast too. He grew really fond of our friend’s dog, Emma, and…

One Lens, Natural Light | Virginia Portrait Photographers | Michael and Carina Photography

Cherie met us at Yorktown Beach in freezing weather for a quick, 30-minute shoot in the mists of a January morning.

Williamsburg | Norfolk | Hampton | Fine Art Portrait & Wedding Photography | Michael and Carina Photography

We love every chance we get to work with someone who can just open up in front of the camera. Hannah contacted us about a portrait session, but we didn’t have a lot of time. We took these with less than of hour of daylight left near Yorktown Battlefield, in only natural light. If you…

Michael and Carina Photography | Virginia | Fine Art Portraits & Wedding Photography

Hurricane Sandy finally gave me enough time to put this vacation video together. Very rough cut, (we’re professional photographers who leave professional videography to videographers), but brings back a lot of wonderful memories from our favorite city in the world. It was Carina’s 5th time in Rome, Jonas’ second, and my third, but the first…
