Corina Sanie, Sacramento photographer

Meet Corina

I make nervous clients forget there's a camera.

Wife, mama, photographer. Sacramento-based and endlessly grateful for this work.

A little about me.

I picked up a camera in high school and honestly never put it down. It started as a way to slow down and really look at things — and somewhere along the way it turned into the most meaningful work I could imagine. I fell in love with the idea that a single photo can hold not just what something looked like, but exactly how it felt to be there.

Becoming a mama changed me as a photographer in the best way. I'm more drawn to the in-between now — the quiet glances, the hand-holds, the chaos that somehow looks like love. I know how quickly these seasons go. My daughter Eliana reminds me every single day.

“Preserve how life feels, not just how it looks.”

When I'm not taking photos, I'm usually at home with my husband, Eliana, and our three dogs — drinking a coffee that went cold twenty minutes ago and pretending I planned it that way. I love being outside, moving slow, and finding beauty in the ordinary stuff most people walk right past.

Faith is at the center of everything I do. It shapes the way I show up, the care I put into every gallery, and the genuine gratitude I feel every time someone trusts me with their story. I don't take that lightly — ever.

My approach

What you can expect from me.

You'll feel at ease.

I guide you just enough so you're never standing there wondering what to do — but never so much that it feels staged. Most clients forget I'm there within ten minutes.

I'll show up prepared.

Location scouted, timing planned around golden light, and a clear plan so the session flows without any stress on your end. You just show up.

You'll get photos you actually love.

Not just images — photos that make you feel something when you look at them 10 years from now. That's the only standard I hold myself to.

Let's connect

Ready to work together?

This is more than photography. It's an investment in your family, your legacy, and the moments that are worth keeping forever. I'd love to be the one to capture them.

Let's Make Something Beautiful

This is the good part.
Let's make sure you remember it.

Whether it's a quiet elopement at golden hour, the day you said I do, or a love worth documenting before the wedding — I'd be honored to be there for it.
