I’m a documentary photographer – I like to capture life as it unfolds. From a kiss between a bride & groom on their wedding day, to a mother holding her newborn baby. From baptisms in Boston, to churches in Zimbabwe ministering to AIDS orphans. It’s my passion to capture moments between people, and to document the work of God throughout the world.
I am so blessed to be able to do what I love to do. Thanks for taking the time to get to know me and checking out my work. Please look around, read some stories, look at some images, and leave a comment so I know you were here. Thank you so much for visiting my new blog!

To tide you over, here’s a shot of Bolosse – the area of Port-au-Prince where I spent most of my time.
More to come!!!

Jessica P says: welcome home… when i see your missions pictures, i get a very strong sense of “us & them”, of separation. a plane ride so easily brings you worlds away from the comforts and assumptions of home. there’s always a sense of problem that accompanies that feeling of separation… because all people are ultimately the same, with the same fundamental needs… so who am i to define the “us” and the “them”.
Krista Photography says: Yeah, Jessica, it’s a bit overwhelming. That sense of separation, and yet similarity. What makes me “lucky” enough to have been born in the US instead of Haiti? Why do I deserve that kind of abundance when these kids have so little? It helps to know that God is sovereign and He doesn’t do anything without purpose. But, it’s hard to see purpose in the suffering of so many people… And yet, there’s joy there too! And love. They aren’t as poor as we think they are, at least in that respect.
Val McCormick Photography says: Krista this is wonderful. I can’t wait to see what you are going to share on the blog. Did you hear excitement when the haitians saw you, “Le Blanc, Le Blanc!” I am going to share your photos with my eight year old. Thanks so much.
Anna Yu says: Krista, welcome back home! I cannot wait until you post more…what a different world!
I’m really looking forward to our next PUG meeting (I hope you’ll be there), I wanna hear the stories too! xoxos
Paige Mann says: GREAT photos! We are in the process of adopting from Haiti and know these scenes all too well. Thanks for sharing your work!
Cheers!
