Owner and Lead Photographer, Visual Vibes Curator

Hi, I'M KARISSA!

Mom of two wild boys, wife to my college bestie, and your go-to girl for capturing all the vibes. My photography journey began in 3rd grade with a camera gifted by my father. Since then I have always been the girl behind the camera! I am an NC State grad, summer camp-loving, adrenaline junkie, who loves the sun and deep convos. I’m all about creating art that feels real, raw, and full of life. If you're ready for some good vibes and beautiful memories, let’s make magic happen together!
