Hello!

I'm Karina Solis-Aguilar - a multi-passionate artist, fitness enthusiast and photographer at KC Kids Photo.

I am so excited to be part of the KC Kids Photo team! Photography has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. l've always treasured those fleeting moments, and to me, capturing a genuine smile is the best part of the job. It's an honor to reflect back to my clients the version of themselves that brings so much joy to others.

I'm a multi-passionate artist at heart. Whether I'm working with clay, acrylic paint, or behind the camera, I love the challenge of learning new things and staying in a "state of creation." That creative energy carries over into my life as a mixed martial artist too. Practicing boxing, kickboxing and capoeira keeps me physically and mentally connected… which brings me so much joy! I bring the same joy with me each day and love sharing it with the kids I work with!

With a background as a personal trainer, group fitness instructor and a NASM specialization in Youth Exercise, l've spent a lot of time in gyms and 1-on-1 training sessions. I've also had the amazing opportunity to coach for Girls on the Run, Sporting KC and the Real Madrid Foundation Clinics. These experiences as a youth leader and mentor taught me how important it is to help children build confidence and a "can-do" mindset. I bring that same encouraging energy to every photo session, making sure every child feels comfortable, confident and ready to shine.

While I don't have kids of my own, I'm a big family person and a proud dog mom to Georgia and Lily. I feel incredibly lucky to be in a role where I can bring my love for art and my passion for working with kids together every single day!

xoxo, Karina
