Paul and Karina Peterson
Paul and Karina Peterson have studied with the best pro photographers in the country, for over 20 years.
Karina Noel Peterson, received her first Canon camera at age 18 when the need to discover portrait photo raphy began. Studying photojournalism and being published in Utne Reader, Twin City Reader and other publications was just the start. Suddenly the creativity along with fashion curiousity, landed her in Austria, studying with one of the top european photographers.
From this, it's the study of people, light and art along with true black and white film that has gotten her to this point of her own photography studio. With Karina Noel photography, the very personal and warm and creative approach to a portrait and event is offered. Many of the clients she has chronicled for over 10 years, documenting hallmark moments and their families. The emotion and great quality art hangs on thousands of walls of homes nationwide.
