"Warm, true-to-color, and cinematic - with a touch of golden romance"

 

Hey, I’m Krista,

Lompoc born and raised (yep—Huyck like the stadium). Fueled by golden hour, iced coffee, and a good audiobook or true crime podcast.

I’m a California girl through and through—salty air, country roads, and sunsets are my thing. My style is a little hippie, a little country—boots, flowy dresses, and a camera always in hand.


Photography has been my passion since the film days, and now I get to capture love stories and real moments right here on the Central Coast.
