Hi, I'm Krista!

I'm a commercial beauty, product, and jewelry photographer/director based in Austin, TX.  

My work is known for celebrating natural beauty with crisp + bright lighting, color, and femininity in its many forms. I draw inspiration from modern masterpieces like Harper’s Bazaar, and from my classical training in film photography and fine art; color theory excites me, and I always love a good art history pun!

I thrive on working collaboratively on creative concepts, and will leverage my perfectionist nature to leave no detail untouched. I’m simultaneously your dedicated teammate on the project, and your one-woman pep squad for the rest of eternity. On set, I want everyone to feel comfortable, be safe, and have fun while we move through the shot list and make magic happen as a team. (P.S. The playlist is a part of the crew, of course.) 

When I'm not fan-girling over my clients, on set, or dreaming up my next test shoot, I'm probably hanging out with my hubby and our son, traveling, camping/hiking/mountain-biking, or at happy hour with the girls.

CURRENTLY CRUSHING ON:

• My side project, art directing at Avenue G Studios.
• The color yellow. (No–wait. Bright green. NO... PINK! Aw hell.)
• Fiction novels. (I have a goal to read 50 books in 2023! I only got to 39 in 2022...)
• A good French 75 cocktail.
• Fridays!
