A DOER. A THINKER. SHE SEES POSSIBILITY EVERYWHERE.
dreamer
Welcome to the random world of Krissy! I'm a 35 year old, figuring out this thing called life - in Texas. California born - Wisconsin raised.
I think I should start out by saying I was home-schooled...and then they all say:
"Oh, that makes sense!"
But seriously, being home-schooled shaped a lot of who I am and led me to pick up a lot of hobbies. One of those which included photography!
I became a computer lover in my teens where I taught myself coding, website design, photo editing, graphic design, etc. I ended up with with a Bachelor's Degree in Marketing (go Roadrunners!).
While in college - I had a part-time job at a restaurant/wedding venue. I fell in love with weddings and knew I wanted to be involved with them in some way.
I have always enjoyed taking photos because it captures a moment that is otherwise only a memory in your mind. Whether it's weddings, couples or family shoots...I get to capture someone's moments that they will have forever.
what drives me
I believe everything happens for a reason. We only have one life and tomorrow is never a guarantee.
With that being said, I believe photography is one of the most beautiful things in our life. It captures moments you will never experience again.
Celebrating my wedding day without my Mom really grew my passion for capturing bride and groom's memories at weddings. I understand how important the photographs will be to the bride and groom now, and in the future.
My fur babies have given me an understanding of how precious and short life really is. Along with learning to find the good in life! I bring this passion to family sessions and relate to the delicate moments they're living and how quickly they pass by.
Lastly, my summer days spent barefoot in Wisconsin with not much to do other than spend time in the sun, outdoors, under the sky, has made me fall in love with being free. I am in love with letting you be yourself in photos and giving everyone the freedom and comfort to let loose. Live, run, laugh, kiss, spin!
Every time I get the opportunity to meet clients and capture their families, their love, their wedding - it is something I feel so extremely lucky and honored to do. I treat every session with grace and enthusiasm so you feel relaxed and comfortable knowing I am there right beside you to capture the beauty of you and your loved ones.
"we take photos as a return ticket to a moment otherwise gone."
star wars
corgis
I am married to a cutie who turned me into a Star Wars nerd - yep, we are one of those "May the Fourth be with you" couples.
I am lucky that I have a strong support system who encourages me to do what I love and go after my dreams.
I have 2 Corgis that I am proudly obsessed with & they are my kids: Gizmo and Koda.
Gizmo is named after the Gremlins movie because I always thought corgis look like Mogwais. He is my little sensitive, active, petite baby.
Koda also means "little bear" which fits our bear perfectly! He is loud, needy, and the perfect cuddle bear.
gymnastics
beaches
nutrition
I was a competitive gymnast for 10 years earning numerous awards and the title of Wisconsin State Champion.
When I was 19 years old with no plans on retiring- a gymnastics injury changed everything. I never competed again. I was never the same physically and mentally after that.
I followed the passion for gymnastics after that and coached gymnastics for 2 years before moving to Texas.
I am obsessed with Florida and beaches.
I traveled to meet a bestie I met online (a crazy story for another time!) in Florida in 2011 and 2012. That started it all.
Then, my husband and I drove to Destin, FL in 2019. I fell IN LOVE!!! Then we went again in 2021, 2023, 2024....and on and on and on.
I could sit on the beach every day, from morning to night. The smell and sounds....take me there now.
Aside from photography, I have random passions and things that I love doing. A few are:
- Gardening/yard-work
- Spending time with family
- Nutrition & Working out
- Cooking & Baking
- Being outdoors
- Playing piano
- Cleaning/organizing
