Hi, I’m Karelin Jose Gonzalez, and photography has been part of my life long before it became my career. What started as a simple desire to hold onto the moments that meant the most to me slowly grew into something bigger—something that gave me purpose, direction, and joy. Today, through Capturing Beautiful Moments LLC, operating as Karelin Studio and Fun Photo Booth Las Vegas, I have the privilege of turning memories into art every single day.

I fell in love with photography because it allowed me to freeze the moments that pass too quickly—the laugh of someone you love, the pride in a parent's eyes, the confidence of a young athlete, the glow of a Quinceañera, the excitement of a couple beginning their journey. Over time, I realized that creating these images wasn’t just about the camera… it was about connection, emotion, and storytelling.

Working with families, athletes, graduates, couples, and businesses across Las Vegas has shown me how powerful a single photo can be. I guide my clients gently through their session, helping them relax, trust the process, and feel seen. I’m patient, creative, and detail-focused, but above all, I care deeply about the people who step in front of my lens. Everyone carries a story, and it’s my responsibility—and my honor—to capture it with sincerity and heart.

Outside the studio, I’m a father and an entrepreneur who believes in discipline, growth, and second chances. I recently transformed my health and my lifestyle, and that journey taught me what dedication truly means. It’s the same energy I bring to every session: show up, give your best, and create something that matters.

Whether I’m photographing a young woman celebrating her Quinceañera, an athlete chasing a dream, a family sharing a quiet moment, or a couple stepping into a new chapter, my intention stays the same:

To create images that make you feel something—images that bring you back to the moment, even years later.
