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!

Sarah & Alex – Backyard Scituate Wedding – xo, CoCo

© Krista Photography

I seriously don’t even know where to start with these two! I KNEW this day was going to be great, but I had no idea just how fun, gorgeous and crazy emotional it would be. I think it’s safe to say every single guest, right down to us photographers, have never felt so welcome and so emotionally attached to a couple! These two have something about them that is just magical, and it was only after I met and spent the day with their insanely supportive and insanely FUN families did I fully understand it. Just you wait.

Team Work — Now Hiring!

112115_D1723

In my last post about purpose, I mentioned that I need a team of people to accomplish it all.  Our team changed a lot last year, and now it’s changing again!  In the last year, CoCo transitioned from working as Photo Editor and Associate, to working only as an Associate while she’s taken on the new challenge of working as a Project Manager for Sperling Interactive.  So we hired our intern, Pamela to take over as Photo Editor.  Then we hired my dear friend, Jennifer to work as our Studio Manager.  This past December, our Vendor Relations Specialist, Amy decided it was time to go back to working in her passion, Social Work.  And Pam is now leaving us for “the way life should be” in Maine!  There have been more than enough tearful “so long”s this year – but it’s exciting to see each of these ladies stepping into new chapters and taking big leaps of faith! There was maybe one day this year when we had all five of us in the studio at the same time (and man was it crowded!) – and now it’s going to be down to me & Jen (I made a handy chart, in case you can’t keep up)!

Try to keep up with all the changes going on around here!

PURPOSE

Coming off of the heels of another great Inspire Photo Retreats, I’ve been thinking a lot about PURPOSE.

What is your purpose? What drives you? Why do you do what you do? PURPOSE. by Krista Guenin. © 2016 Krista Photography - www.kristaphoto.com

The last two years have been a bit rough, to be honest.  Bringing CoCo on as an Associate has been SO AWESOME in so many ways, but it’s also brought a lot of challenges along with it.  I’ve found myself bogged down in the work of editing, and running the studio and never feeling like there was enough time to do all of the things I know I SHOULD do… like SHOOT more, train my employees to take over more, wrap up our re-branding project, blogging, networking, budgeting, strategizing, planning and dreaming.  Not to mention spending time with friends & family, and leaving my house once in a while!  Running my own business is often totally overwhelming, and it’s really easy to forget WHY I’m doing all of this.  So, now that I’m finished editing our 2015 work, and I’m officially in the “off-season”, I’m trying to get back to the point.

What is my purpose? WHY does Krista Photography exist?

Laura & Dayna — Willowdale Estate Wedding – xo, CoCo

D2415_D0453-Edit

Laura and Dayna (best name for a groom ever!) were married on a beautiful brisk day in late spring, they braved the slight chill in the air for as long as they could and it was SO worth it for the chance to walk around outside and to witness their ceremony on the gorgeous patio of the Willowdale Estate. Laura was perfectly nervous, everyone was excited, the weather held off and just wait til you see Dayna’s face when he saw his bride for the first time…

Rebecca + Kevin – A Harvard Art Museums Wedding

I met Rebecca over six years ago, when she was a bridesmaid in her sister, Elizabeth’s wedding.  I liked her right away because she was the youngest (just like me) and she seemed to be the most sentimental and definitely the most likely to cry of the three sisters (just like me).  I saw her a few times over the years as I continued to photograph their family out in Michigan, and here in Boston.  So, when I got her email telling me she’d gotten engaged, I was so thrilled she wanted me to shoot the wedding, but I was also really excited to see the family again, and to witness Rebecca marry the man she loves!!  There really is something special about working with the same family again and again over the years!  Take a look at my favorites from their beautiful wedding day…
