Forever Family Portraits


Forever Family

For those of you who know us here at Krista Photography, you know that giving back is a big part of our brand, and a big part of who we are!  It’s important to me that my talents and my business be used for a greater good, and not just to bless those who can actually afford to hire me.  Thankfully, I’ve got an awesome team of people working with me who share that desire!  So, we brainstormed together how me might reach our community, and we came up with Forever Family Portraits!  On Saturday, November 23rd, we will be offering FREE family portraits for adoptive families!!  After my experiences working at orphanages all over the world, and CoCo’s experiences with friends who have adopted, and Amy’s experience as a social worker – it just seemed like a perfect fit!  We all really believe that adopting a child into your life is one of the most generous things you can do, so we want to bless and encourage these special families by giving them a photograph to celebrate their “Forever Family!”

We are SUPER excited for this event, and cannot wait to meet some really amazing families, and have an awesome time shooting some portraits for them!  To sign up, or get more details about the event, check out the invite on Facebook, or register directly here.  Please help us spread the word!!

Family Portraits – Concord MA

Last Fall, I donated a portrait session to an auction to benefit Social Capital, Inc. here in Woburn.  It was fun tracking the online bidding, and to see a couple of friends fighting over me ;)  My dear friend Jennifer ended up winning, and I was super excited to get to meet her family and take some portraits for them!

We met up at the Old North Bridge in Concord on a cold wintery day…

They were so brave to take their coats off for a few!  It’s funny how being freezing cold can make you smile bigger ;)

We had to get one of us too!  Apparently we didn’t have any photos together!  Most of my friends can probably say that actually… I should get in front of the camera more ;)

Jennifer – I love you, my friend!  So glad we could get these photos before you moved away!  I miss you & can’t wait to hear the latest updates from overseas… ;)

SpringFest


One of my 2008 brides, Jessica, emailed me the other day about a charity event she’s planning and asked if I would help spread the word. If you’ve visited this blog before, or visited my website, you know that I’m very much into charity work, and using my photography and my business to support organizations that are really helping people. I checked out the info on Jessica’s event and I think it sounds great!!

SpringFest is a charity fair hosted by Berkland Baptist Church to raise funds and awareness for the China Nest of Hope Orphanage in Beijing, China. The orphanage is part of the China Nest of Hope Foundation, a charitable organization that strives to help orphaned and underprivileged children in Beijing. SpringFest festivities will feature family-friendly activities like games, arts and crafts, demonstrations, music, food and more. There will also be a charity raffle with awesome prizes like airplane tickets & iPods, and winners will be drawn throughout the day.

I love that I get to work with great brides like Jessica, who do cool stuff like this! Visit www.SpringFestBoston.com for more information about SpringFest and about the China Nest of Hope Orphanage, and hopefully I’ll see you there! :)
