Sarah's Art




One of my brides from last year, Sarah, is a painter, and asked if I would help her document a few of her paintings before they went off to their new homes. I was thrilled at the chance, and now I really want to buy something to hang in my home. Please email me if you would like more information about her work at kristyandbrent@kristyphotography.com.

Emily F.




Emily is an amazing young woman. Not only is she beautiful, she is a musician and budding photographer! I am lucky enough to have her interning with me this fall, and hope to encourage her talent and have her work with me on many more sessions. Her senior portraits were so much fun and we went all over the place. One of my favorite spots so far was this barn at the side of the road. The corn field was right behind it, and although she looks warm, it was really really cold that day!

Emily P.




Whenever we have the chance, Brent and I love to team up on senior sessions. He is such a good portrait photographer, and has a cool perspective. It always gives me more ideas and the senior more options to choose from. (Oh and he is way funnier than I am and can always get an authentic smile.) During Emily's session, she really wanted to get some graffiti shots, and they turned out really cool. The colors looked fantastic with her hair and jeans! So thank you graffiti vandal. Your art is appreciated.

Desiree Y.






Desiree wanted the fall look for her portraits, so we waited until the leaves were perfect, and headed to the park. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day, the wind was gently blowing, the leaves were all over the place, and we weren't freezing! I love how green her eyes are in this bottom image. Congratulations on graduating Desiree!

Casey V.





You gotta love a guy who picks a tee shirt and khaki shorts for his senior session. Casey was a good sport even when I took him to a shack surrounded by a cloud of mosquitos. Oh, and his poor girlfriend, who was helping out, was almost carried away by the little jerks. We got out of there in a hurry and went to a park near our home for the rest of the session. Thanks for not running away screaming, and I hope the swelling has gone down!

Brenna H.



Brenna was a bridesmaid last summer in one of our weddings, so I was thrilled when she called about having her senior pictures done! She is stunning, and very easy going so I probably shot about 100 more images than I normally do... oops.

Ben R.




Ben's parents are mentors of mine, so I felt so honored when they asked me to do Ben's senior portraits. This guy is so down to earth, and is an awesome musician, so I was a little intimidated (I lack general coolness...) and really wanted to create some images that reflected his personal style.. Hopefully I succeeded, as he invited me to a gig to photograph his band, Vinacious in action. (Posts from that will follow!)
