Well hey there!

I’m Kristina and I can’t wait to meet you!

 

But first let me introduce myself!

My husband and I have been married for fourteen years now and we have three rambunctious little (and not so little) boys. My days are usually filled with the hustle and bustle of being a mom, dirty hands, staying one step behind those dirty hands to clean up, my boys laughing (let’s be honest, my boys fighting too), and figuring out our next adventure. I love chocolate, decorating my house and DIY projects, reading novels, and cardio kickboxing. I love basically anything BBC puts out, but I especially love Downton Abby and The Great British Baking Show. I’m a sucker for romantic movies, and I have the best husband who loves to surprise me. He is my biggest support and my favorite human.

Why Photography is my jam

First of all, I just LOVE it! I love how it freezes moments in time, how it captures moments for us to return to. I want to remember holding chubby hands, hearing little giggles, and all the little moments that make up my life the way it is right now. Becoming a mom made me realize how quickly things change, and how the little things you thought you’d always remember sometimes get forgotten. It has made me focus on small things, on those little moments that we often pass by without taking notice.

I’m on a mission to capture and take note of the small things

I want to capture those moments for you to return to so they are not forgotten. I want to capture YOU and the little things that happen daily-the way your teenager throws his head back when he laughs, the absolute trust of a hand reaching out to you, how your daughter just wants snuggles all the time, the way your kids look at you. I want your session to be a stress-free hour of playing with your kids or being a dork with your loved one, with occasional prompts and direction from me! I want you to be able to relax, even if you’re worried your kids won’t listen, or you don’t think your photogenic (you are!). I love to capture those natural and candid moments, because I believe THAT is the best type of portrait.

 

Soooooo . . . Let’s do this!

 

"I was amazed to see the emotions she was able to capture-it perfectly captured our family in this moment in time."

We couldn’t be more happy with our session experience with Kristina! She was super helpful in guiding us to find the right location for us and eased any concerns we had at trying to find the “perfect” spot. During our session, we felt so at ease and comfortable from the very beginning. It was the easiest photography session we have done because we were able to just be ourselves and have fun. When we received our online gallery, I was amazed to see the emotions she was able to capture and the feelings I felt while viewing them, it perfectly captured our family in this moment in time. Not to mention her talent at capturing the perfect lighting, angles, and details. I’m pretty sure she will be needing to take our family photos each year now, we wouldn’t want it any other way!

Hunter’s little voice asking, “Otay mommy?” when he notices me having a hard time.

Taking Hunter to the arcade for the first time and hearing him just straight up yell because he’s so excited.

Being so impressed with my kids’ creativity because I never would’ve thought to do it that way.

The look my husband and I give each other when the kids have done something hilarious that we shouldn’t be laughing at.
