It's moments like this that truly makes me SO grateful to be a photographer. To be trusted with life's biggest milestones.

I'm so proud to post these photos - congratulations and welcome to your mom & dad era ✨ everything truly works out in divine timing🥹🤍

The best part about senior photo sessions is when I show them a little sneak peek on my camera and we end up squealing, jumping and kicking our feet together 😆 And then I get to watch their confidence grow from the beginning of the session to the end 💖🥹

Have a theme in mind for your senior session? YES PLEASE SIGN ME UP 🤌 She had brought her book collection - from her baby/toddler books, to her most recent favorite series. We took photos by her family's lake house and it was absolutely perfect and so meaningful 🥹📚⛅

Can't stop thinking about this STUNNING engagement session at the Landmark Center in St. Paul, MN. It's so fun when my clients let me play with my creativity and we can have fun creating art together 🥹✨

Still not over this sweet newborn session 🥹 Welcome to the world, little one 💖✨

The soft natural light in the studio created the dreamiest setting for documenting these precious moments. If you’re a photographer looking for a bright, timeless space, the studio is available for hourly rentals, too 🙂‍↕️🤌🏼 Legacy House

There’s something so timeless about documenting this chapter—the anticipation, the excitement, and the quiet moments before life changes forever. So grateful I get to preserve memories like these 🥹🤍

Almost two years ago, I took a leap of faith and started this business with one big goal - to build a life that allowed me to stay home with my son while doing something I truly love. Photography allowed me to create something meaningful, preserve memories, and make a difference in people’s lives, even if it was in a small way.

Because of your support, that dream has become my reality 🥹

Over the past two years, this business has grown in ways I never imagined. I've had the honor of documenting so many beautiful milestones, and this year I was even able to open my own photography studio, giving my clients an even better experience and more creative possibilities.

To reflect the experience, care, quality, and creativity I strive to bring to every session, my pricing will be increasing beginning July 27.

If you've been thinking about booking a session, now is the time! Any session booked by July 26 will lock in my current pricing, even if your session takes place later.

Thank you for trusting me with your memories and for supporting this dream every step of the way. I truly couldn't be here without you, and I'm so excited for everything that's ahead 🙏🏼🤍

Hey everyone 🙋🏻‍♀️ I would like to introduce you to:
✨Legacy House✨

I truly believe that photographs are more than images—they are pieces of our legacy. Long after moments have passed, photos remain, telling our stories and preserving the people, love, and memories that matter most. As someone who has lost her dad, I became a photographer because I understand just how important a photograph can be.

Legacy House was created with that belief at its core. It's a shared space for photographers and creatives to create meaningful work, grow their businesses, and help their clients preserve their own legacies.

I've always believed in community over competition—especially in the photography industry and in a smaller town. My hope is that this becomes a space where we can create, collaborate, support one another, and build genuine connections. We all bring something unique to the table, and I truly believe there's room for every one of us.

The studio is now open for hourly bookings. For more info and booking link, check out my website: jodykartikaphotography.com/LegacyHouse

And if you're interested in becoming a Resident Photographer at Legacy House, send me a DM. I'd love to chat more about what that opportunity could look like for you. 💖

I would absolutely love and appreciate it if you could follow my new business page Legacy House 🥹

I am so grateful for everyone’s support. I truly have been blessed to know so many amazing people in my life 🙏🏼✨

This beautiful 1,100-square-foot studio features four unique shooting areas, seasonal & holiday sets throughout the year, and a fully equipped newborn photography posing station.

Big things are coming 😭🙏🏼✨ God and the universe truly have a funny way of making things happen when you keep praying for something, even if it shows up in the most unexpected ways. Sometimes it all starts by putting the right people in your life 🥹

I am taking a huge leap of faith in this new chapter of my business. This will definitely teach me to trust the process, trust in God’s plans, and to trust things will all work out in divine timing 💫

I am now officially a ✨STUDIO OWNER✨
This will be a shared space for photographers and creatives to rent and utilize for their own businesses. And of course, all of my current and future clients will have the option to have their sessions to be indoor/outdoor/a mix of both 😉

I will have more updates on this journey and hope to have it all up and running by next week.
