About

Photography has been a part of my life in one way or another since I was very young. Whether it was my dad trying to capture every moment of my childhood, my grandmother allowing me to use her point and shoot or my first compact camera for my eleventh birthday. But my favorite "photography" memory is of my Great Grandmother. I loved visiting her because she had accumulated mounds of photos throughout her life. At night before she would tuck me in she would pull out all of the old photographs and recall some of her memories. I was fascinated by the memories she had associated with each individual photo pulled from the box. The photographs became a time machine that allowed me to experience some of my grandmother’s fondest memories. I think my passion for photography stems back to the idea that a photograph can transport a person back to a memorable moment in time and that is what inspires me today.


I graduated from Indiana University with a degree in Fine Arts before moving to Chicago to pursue my dream professionally. I worked as a wedding photographer in Chicago for 13 years before my recent move back to Indianapolis. I am a Hoosier again!

Currently I am shooting exclusively on location within and around the Indianapolis, Chicago and Lexington areas, but I don't mind traveling to a different city for an additional fee.

Simply the best!

Krista was amazing. She was organized, easy to communicate with, and was honest about her wants as well. I appreciated Krista's package options, we went untraditional so a 6 hour window was perfect. She kept us moving during formals, with lots of encouragement and direction. Most importantly, the shots came out beautifully. We're so happy with the turnout. Krista has a great eye and lets the authenticity of the room and guests shine. As a graphic designer, it was extremely important for me to have clean photography. Thank you, Krista!

Capture the moments and emotions of your day

Krista was fantastic! We had not taken professional photos before and were duly nervous for our wedding and engagement shoots, but she spent plenty of time making us comfortable and posing us for great photos. She was very professional and added a unique touch to all of our photos, candid and formal. We have so many photos from our wedding that we love and will keep forever. For capturing the emotion and all the big and little moments of your day, Krista is the perfect person.
