Capturing your love story

& the nostalgia of it all

Hey, its Crista! The girl who is obsessed with photos :)

I have been photographing people for over 10 years and it has never felt like work to me. I crave the deep connections & energy I feel between my couples and just absolutely love to capture it all. I never want you to feel like taking photos is just something you should do, but instead a memorable experience creating art as you two as my muse. Forget the forced smiles and poses, I create off your connection and vibes with one another to encapsulate these chapters in your life.

Testimonial

No review would be good enough to fully express how AMAZING Crista is at her job. No description of all the things she did for us could fully encapsulate everything she did for us. Crista is a rare find. Someone who not only does their job to perfection, but goes the extra mile, without ever being asked, all for the sake of making sure the bride and groom have the full extent of each special moment of their wedding day. And she does all this with the sweetest, most positive attitude we’ve ever witnessed!

Testimonial

Crista and Sheldon are professional, kind, and talented. They made us feel comfortable and gave us the perfect direction. Turn around time on our photos were quick but did not compromise quality. We could not be happier with the service Crista provided and with our photos. There wasn’t a bad photo! Thank you Crista & Sheldon! We love you!!

Testimonial

Crista's editing style and the quality of her photos stands out from other works of photography that I have seen. I chose her because I could tell that she truly cares not only about the outcome of her work, but also about the experience you have when shooting with her. I have zero modeling experience, so I was nervous to do a photo shoot, but she made me feel so comfortable and confident. The results of our photo shoot were better than anything I could have imagined myself.
