Specializes in Empowering Boudoir and Editorial Style Portraits
about krista
I am a queer, Oregon born and raised, portrait and boudoir photographer. I have been doing photography professionally for 9 years. I have dabbled with photography off and on my whole life but I have been professional since 2014, and as of Fall 2018, this is my full-time pursuit! I currently reside in Portland, Oregon with my partner and two cats that are basically my children, I’m obsessed with animals. I love to getting to connect with so many cool people through my art.
I am passionate about capturing authentic photos that make you smile years from now, the last thing I want is a client to look back at their photos and think they look stiff or uncomfortable. I have a talent for getting anyone to loosen up in front of the camera so I can capture them truly being themselves.
“A thing that you see in my pictures is that I was not afraid to fall in love with these people.”
“Boudoir photos are one of my favorite sessions to shoot because, clients walk away feeling empowered and confident and that’s life-giving to me. I personally have overcome and continue to fight self-hatred, and I’ve learned to love my body when society tells me to hate it. It breaks my heart to see others struggle with not feeling worthy or beautiful. If you have a body- that’s amazing, it’s beautiful and it deserves to be celebrated!”

“Krista is our favorite photographer ever. They’re so kind, so supportive, and always give us the most incredible photos. She did our wedding photos, and we’ll be using Krista for every major life event as long as she’s still making art. Truly the best vibes, and most comfortable I’ve ever felt in front of a camera. ♥️”

‘‘Krista is such an amazing photographer! But beyond that, Krista makes you feel comfortable and confident. She is patient, kind and doesn’t judge you. My very first shoot with her, we clicked instantly and she made me feel safe to be myself in front of the camera! I’ve never felt that with any other photographer. Her editing is phenomenal and her range in what she does is amazing. She can capture so many moods, vibes and more! I highly recommend Krista to anyone and everyone! She will make you feel confident during your session and the photos you’ll get back will portray that confidence and happiness!“
-Giselle Essex, Google Review 2022
“Krista is the perfect mixture of all pieces sweet and sassy. She made my partner and I focus on each other, which led to authentic and romantic engagement photos. 10/10 would recommend!“
-Kori A, Facebook Review 2017
“Krista did my son's senior photos and they were better than I could have dreamed of! Not only does she have a great eye and an obvious talent for "capturing a moment" but she also (and more importantly) was able to make him comfortable and put him at total ease. My son is very shy and private and he HATES to have his photo taken but Krista was able to totally support him in the ways he needed to be comfortable and confident in front of her and her lens. I'm so happy with the service she provided for us. Also, the cost was extremely worth it... especially considering the value of the "shoot" and the beautiful photos we now own.“
-Peggy Geerhart, Google Review 2022
“Krista was so fun and easy to work with (she was so patient with our 5 year old and 6 month old) and made my family feel so comfortable in front of the camera! I LOVED our pictures, I definitely plan on having her take all of our future family pictures!“
