Krista Marie

Brand Strategy + Photography

NYC Brand Photographer

Personal brand photography in NYC for authors, course creators, wedding vendors, photographers, speakers, podcasters, copywriters, designers and creatives.

When you invest in premium brand photos, you put yourself in a market of ONE

Meaning, dream clients immediately know you're the one for them as soon as they land on your page. 

No more ghosted inquiries. No more selling on discovery calls.

Your photos and brand do ALL of the selling for you.

— Elizabeth Su

"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!"

— Alysa (By Alysa Monet & Co.)

"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."

— Laurel (Laurel Elaine Jewelry)

"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!" 

We create brand photos that stop the scroll of your audience.

You could have the most expensive, custom designed website. But if you're still using stock photos (or outdated headshots), you're missing out on booking your dream clients.

The reality is, you're not just selling a service. You're selling trust.
When your brand photos instantly build trust with your audience, you become the go-to in your industry. 

When we work together to create your on-brand photos, you get so much more than just "nice photos" of yourself.

Position you as the leader in your industry
(No one can compete with you because of how premium your brand looks and feels)

Stop the scroll of your audience online

(You create a cohesive, recognizable brand that has your audience binging all of your content)

Instantly build trust with your audience
(So as soon as someone finds you online, they immediately feel comfortable reaching out and investing in you)

We create brand photos that:

 (You’re here? You’re amazing. I know it.) 👋🏻

Whoops, have I not introduced myself yet? 

I’m Krista — your new brand + photographer BFF.

Just like you, I’m always dreaming into the next level version of my business & my brand.

And I know what a gift it is when you can trust someone else to support you as you're creating your dreams.

And it’s really important, if we work together, that I earn your trust.

Because when you don’t have to worry about…
  • figuring out where to start with your brand photos
  • showing up perfectly
  • extracting the details from your dream & vision

…it frees you up to be your most creative, authentic self. 

BOLD.

FORWARD-THINKING.

CREATIVE.

CONFIDENT.

This experience should be, too.

SPIRITUAL.

THIS BRAND IS YOURS

That’s why my process emphasizes strategic planning and preparation. After 15+ years as a photographer, I know how how to create an intentional, thoughtful session plan that has you walking away with a strong sense of self-confidence (and a deep LOVE of your new photos).

Throughout the process you'll feel crystal clear about the session vibe we're creating, how to visually showcase your brand identity, and you'll feel confident and excited as you step into your next level.

It’s normal to feel nervous about a photoshoot, and to want to get the most value out of your investment.

I'm here to help you create a brand, and photos, that consistently call in dream clients (on repeat). This step is what allows you to feel prepared, confident and excited (before, during and after!) your brand session. I got you! Your only job is to celebrate yourself and get ready for the influx of new clients that are coming your way!

Prep + Planning Call

This is where you get to unleash ALL of the big visions and dreams you have for your business and brand. You'll create (and share) your brand mood board with me so we can bring your brand to LIFE in a unique, customized way. Because of this, you can feel assured that you'll walk away with new brand photos that you LOVE.

Pinterest  Inspo Board

You'll get access to everything you need to feel confident in your photos (everything from choosing the perfect outfits, accessories, locations & props). You get all of the tips from my 15+ years of being a photographer. This is what takes your photoshoot from average to industry-leading. This is what makes your photos feel premium & high-end.

Location + Wardrobe Support

We'll walk through all of the details of your brand & business. When you better understand what makes your personal brand unique, it allows us to create scroll-stopping photos that speak directly to your dream clients -- so that when clients land on your page, they instantly feel inspired to reach out.
