It’s a huge part of why I’m a brand photographer and website designer.
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 always going to support Queer, trans and nonbinary folks in this space. you are always welcome here.
(( 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 brand and business...
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 (Wedding Planner)
"MY BRAND FINALLY COMMUNICATES MY VALUE."
Krista is amazing!! I worked with Krista on multiple projects, a brand photo session, website glow up, and branding and was very happy with all of it. Krista was easy to work with and I felt very supported and guided throughout her process. My brand feels much more polished, and I have already received complements from colleagues and customers. It's cleaner, more professional, and does a better job communicating my value to potential customers. I highly recommend working with Krista! You won't regret it :)
— Mary (Trauma Therapist)
"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 (Writer & Creator)
"Booking my session with Krista was one of the best decisions I ever made."
"Working with Krista was the best decision. From the moment we met, I knew Krista was the whole package: kind, intelligent, warm, genuine, incredibly talented, creative, AND extremely organized and professional. She guided me through planning my brand session with a collaborative spirit from start to finish, from outfit selections, creating a detailed timeline, choosing a location, and allowed me to explore the "why" behind my business (which was a huge bonus!) She captured the spirit of my brand and gave me photos that I will treasure for years to come."
— Celeste (Creative & Wellness Coach)

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 and website design along with my 12+ years of growing a successful brand and 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.
