Hey, I’m Krista!

I’m a bubbly personality with an eagerness to serve all people! My husband, Aaron, is my best friend and #1 supporter who has aged like a fine wine since the day we met back in early 2007. We’ve settled in a charming old home in South Minneapolis with our precious pup, Poppy! We love to travel, squeezing as much as we can out of this precious life whenever possible. I’ve been known to let hours pass by while browsing the racks of my local thrift stores on my days off, and I have a ridiculous collection of houseplants (where my hoya lovers at?! IYKYK). Sitting on our cozy deck in the summertime with any of my favorite people + a crisp vodka tonic w/ lime is my personal haven, and golden sunsets make me swoon EVERY time. And in case you were curious, I believe ice cream sandwiches w/ fresh baked cookies are the most perfect dessert and yes I will die on that hill, thankyouverymuch. XO

I love my job.

Life as a wedding photographer is extremely humbling, and I have not taken that for granted since the day I photographed my very first wedding back in 2010! I do a happy little dance every time I am chosen to be the one to capture another couple’s wedding day - eagerly awaiting my opportunity to be your bubbly, camera-yielding-third-wheel. :)

I love making permanent memories of your most precious day.

My style of work allows my couples to relax, have a BLAST, and let their true emotions shine through, all while knowing that their day will be captured fully and beautifully. I adore serving my couples and helping your day run smoothly in every way possible!
