From Kyiv to Chicago
Stories captured through simple walks
I’m Karina, a 29-year-old photographer, born and raised in Ukraine. Photography started as my way to capture emotions and stories, and over time it became my true calling. Life brought me to Chicago, a city that quickly felt like a second home.
Here I create photo walks that are more than just sessions — they are moments of laughter, movement, and connection, turned into lasting memories.

Fact 4
I first dreamed of Insta-walks back in Kyiv, but never had the chance to bring them to life. Chicago got lucky — here, they’ve become reality.
KIND WORDS
Karina did an amazing job with my photos! She guided me through beautiful spots in Chicago, made me feel confident, and even helped with posing. The experience was fun, fast, and unforgettable. I’d definitely do it again and recommend her to anyone visiting the city.
