Make Memories,
and part with awkward posing.
Hi, I’m Krista. I spent 10 years working in counseling and public education with a photography side hustle that just became my main hustle.
I love to take portraits and help humans embrace their true essence and appearance.
Book with me to have fun during your photoshoot and guarantee patience and positivity with you and your family. Pep talks are always free.
Great Pictures to Post & Print
Quality photography demands personality.
I don’t just produce images. I help you create stills of you and who you love, in your best and brightest light. My passion isn’t for pushing a shutter button on a big, heavy camera. It’s for meeting new people, learning their story, and capturing their essence. My portfolio is kaleidoscopic; I tailor every step of my process to the client. I’m not out to make you fit into the box of a certain style or color palette. I’m curious about different kinds of editing. I am down for creating art with you. I have a talent for always getting a smiley shot of your toddler, even if they spend most of the session evading my camera.
Also, the answer is always yes, please bring your dog, too!

These are my specialty! I have been shooting portraits for over 10 years. My side hustle throughout my career in education was always portrait work. I’m passionate about capturing individuals and families in a variety of outdoor settings around the Pittsburgh area. Whether you just need some nice family photos for the gallery wall at home, are announcing a new addition with a maternity shoot, celebrating a birthday, or literally any other occasion, I’m your girl! Sessions start at $250.

Weddings
With the exception of your spouse, your wedding photographer is who you will spend the most time with on your big day. The last thing you want is a photographer you don’t vibe with standing steps away from every moment of your wedding. I consider my presence as your photographer an honor, and don’t take lightly how important my job is during the biggest day of your relationship. I like to work with my couples in advance through pre-wedding consultation and an engagement shoot to be sure we have a great rapport and they feel safe and comfortable hiring me.
It’s a big investment to hire wedding vendors! I want my fee to be totally worth it.
Feel safe & supported with a photographer who can be your therapist if needed (no, seriously, that’s my master’s degree).
My people skills are what makes me a wonderful addition to the vendor team that helps your day go smoothly!
Also, you know- the pictures I take look pretty nice, too. Check them out!
Your kids will have fun!
I promise you beautiful, sweet pictures of your kiddos, even if the behind-the-scenes includes tears, mischief, or bribery! My teaching background helps so much with working with littles.
