Krista Marie

Brand Strategy + Photography

It’s a huge part of the reason I’m a brand coach and photographer.

WATCHING WOMEN WIN IS MY FAVORITE THING IN THE WORLD

For a lot of my life, I didn’t allow myself to speak my opinions. I felt my voice didn’t matter. I made myself small and didn't believe I was capable of my biggest dreams.

Today? I know my voice matters. And I have a mission that's way bigger than my fears -- to help women (and lgbtq+ folks) create a business and life that allows them to fully thrive.

And I want to encourage you to live that kind of life for yourself, too. I want you to feel confident as your biggest, boldest, brightest, most genuine self, in business and in life.

And you know why?

(( I'm over here dancing to Taylor Swift while I write all of this out for you ;) ))

I’ll ask you about everything from your biggest dreams, to your current business goals, and even your favorite hype music. Because this entire experience is about making sure you feel fully comfortable being you.

So when we work together to create your booked out business & brand...

Tell me ABOUT YOUR GOALS

"Krista is a dream. This is my 3rd time working with her & she's 100000% my go-to photographer."

"I've had an opportunity to have Krista shoot branding photos for me on 2 separate occasions. Krista has been such an essential resource to me and my business. She's so knowledgeable on brand development and did a lot of intentional planning with me around how to structure the shoot so that it effectively advertised to desired future clients. Also, she's freaking amazing and you'll want to be friends with her afterward."

— Alysa (By Alysa Monet & Co.)

"Krista really goes above and beyond to provide A+++++ service!"

"Specifically with my business photography needs, I came to her without a clear vision of what I was looking for and she has helped me with clarifying my brand aesthetic, styling the sessions, location scouting and so much more. The pictures she has taken have been a game changer for my business. All of her work has been amazing and I could not be more pleased with the final product!"

— Laurel (Laurel Elaine Jewelry)

"KRISTA IS THE BEST THERE IS. Seriously."

"Krista does a stellar job in preparation to make sure she (and you!) understands the goal of the shoot and holds your hand up until the day of the shoot to make sure all the logistics are taken care of. Not only is the experience start-to-finish an absolute BLAST but Krista’s photos are out of this world. She is truly a gifted photographer. My photos really reflect who I am as a person and my brand as a whole. If you’re looking for an expert photographer, a brand genius, and all-around incredible human, Krista is your girl!"

— Elizabeth Su

"Booking my session with Krista was one of the best decisions I ever made."

"After a session with another photographer fell through, I was still at peace knowing that this was all meant to be and the right photographer FOR ME will come out of this, and boy, did the Universe deliver! She captured the spirit of my brand and gave me photos that I will treasure for years to come."

— Celeste T.

Nothing makes me happier than getting to hear clients say, "this has exceeded all my expectations"

Luckily, I get to hear it a lot. :)

Are you picturing it?

Cause here’s the thing that you might not actually believe (yet): you can.

A few years ago, I started my podcast and had no idea where it would lead me. I just knew that I wanted to help women business-owners feel comfortable stepping into their power. I wanted to spend my time helping other women see that the parts of themselves they think are "wrong" are actually incredible gifts. That they already have what it takes to succeed.

That work? It inspired me to keep going. As I started to lean into my background of brand photography along with my 12+ years of growing a successful business, I realized how much joy I get from helping other women take the reigns back in both their life and their business.

All of this to say -- I’ve been where you are. And I would be truly honored to help.

I know this is my About page, but can I ask you something?

What would your business look like if you could build it any way you wanted to?

Let's Talk ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS

We'll get along if...

You also love seeing women succeed

You have a secret dream or ten (a recent secret dream is to become a cellist. I actually bought a cello in 2020!)

You have a big heart for animals & feel most alive while in nature

You would choose a Harry Potter movie marathon over a crowded party

You’re a positive person, but not in a #goodvibesonly way — more in a, “Life is short and I want to treat every moment as if it really matters, because it does” kind of way

I know I keep talking about how much I love seeing women succeed…

And I DO. But it’s important that I make this clear: I also love seeing queer, trans, and nonbinary people succeed. If you’re queer, please know that you’re welcome in this space, that I’m absolutely rooting for you, too, and that I would love to support you in any way I can.

I know there’s only so much you can get to know by reading about me. So if you want to hear my real voice and message, my podcast is a great place to start.

You get to decide what kind of business serves your community, yourself, and your life. But if you need some help figuring out what that business looks like? Pop my podcast on the next time you're in the car, doing laundry, or looking for some inspiration:
