style

krista prefers to work in black and white - the photographs are timeless and memorable. she seeks to capture the unique personality of her subjects. she believes less is more and simplicity speaks volumes when creating a portrait. she chooses simple backdrops or outdoor settings to allow her clients to be the primary subject of her photographs. she uses both natural and studio lighting. she doesn’t dictate the shoot and encourages her clients to relax and be themselves. her patience is rewarded as a subject’s personality emerges with an unexpected moment, a characteristic gesture or a precious expression. she looks to capture a natural togetherness when photographing families.
