Spring Album & Portrait Sale!

Life is awesome, document it! Krista Photography Spring Portrait Sale - Boston family photographer

It’s that time of year again… we’ve (hopefully) had the last snow, the flowers and leaves are budding, the sun is actually shining, and Bostonians are starting to come out of hibernation!  At Krista Photography, we’re in the calm before the storm that is wedding season.  That means we have a little extra time to design wedding albums and photograph lots of families before the craziness begins again in June.  To celebrate, we’ve decided to have a little Spring Sale… just in time for tax returns to roll in ;)

Headshots

Occasionally, I photograph headshots for small businesses, non-profits, artists, and individuals.  My philosophy and approach are simple: relaxed, natural portraits of people being themselves.  Pricing starts at $150 per person and varies based on the complexity of the shoot, the location, the need for backdrops/lighting/assistants, etc.  Please contact us to discuss your vision and schedule your portraits!

Oh baby AJ, we just can’t get enough of you!  At six months old, baby AJ was preparing to celebrate his first holiday season and Krista was able to spend some time with his family.  AJ’s grin just gets bigger and more dimple-licious with each passing month!

Sorry AJ, but when your cheeks are that kiss-able, you’re gonna get squished often with smooches!

Baby AJ – One Month Old Newborn Portrait Session

It’s amazing how different a newborn looks just a few short weeks after birth!  This little cutie has grown a bunch of hair and has cheeks that just BEG for kisses.  Krista visited Jennifer, YiFeng and AJ at their home just a couple of weeks after they left the hospital.

GAH!  Those lips!  That little baby fist!

A bit sleep deprived, but new parenthood definitely works for these two!

What in the world are you dreaming about, AJ?

I know it’s impossible to believe, but this kid just continues to get cuter and cuter. (No, seriously, Pam is in the other room *literally* editing pictures of AJ at his current age of 18 months and the cuteness factor continues to be off the chart!)  Stay tuned for a peek at AJ at six months in a few days!  I promise you will not be disappointed!

Baby AJ – Newborn Portrait Session at Hospital

Last year Krista had the incredibly special opportunity to photograph the arrival of her dear friends Jennifer & YiFeng’s first born son! Alexander Justus, baby AJ, arrived healthy and perfect in every way!  Krista was able to go into the delivery room just a few moments after he was born, she still talks about what an honor it was to be one of the first people to meet this special little boy.  (She also may or may not have been scarred for life by the experience, but clearly, it was worth it)  ;)
