The H Family — Portrait Session in Houston, Texas

022515_D0141-Edit

If you have followed Krista Photography for while, this family is sure to look familiar!   The short version of the story:  Krista shot Rhetta and Bill’s wedding in Chicago back in 2004.  Upon moving to Boston, Krista began working for Matt & Enna Grazier and on her very first day she was perusing their portfolio and stumbled upon a gorgeous pregnant woman – who also happened to be Rhetta!  As baby Hannah grew and changed, Rhetta sought Krista out to take family portraits.  The family has since moved from Boston to Texas, but she called again, and again when they were back in town visiting.  :)   And so it made perfect sense for Krista to swing by while on a trip west this spring, to capture this beautiful family once more!

I love how Krista always catches Rhetta and Bill loving on one another during their sessions.

Oh Rhetta and Bill, it is always a pleasure!  Each of us at Krista Photography look forward to seeing how your family changes from year to year!  Thank you for continuing to invite Krista back!

Jessica & Albert’s Trash The Dress Session – Part 2

And now, for Part 2 of Jessica & Albert’s Trash The Dress Session!! (scroll down or click here to see Part 1)

Once Albert got home from work, we headed outside to take advantage of the remaining sunlight while the rain let up. We had to go back to the graffiti wall…


I would love to know what he said to her here!



Now, you may remember from their eSession photos, that Albert can jump. Like, he can jump really high. So, we had to recreate the magic…


He even busted out some new moves!


Then we headed back down…


…and found a little patch of sunlight breaking through the clouds…


…which happened to be right next to this really cool alley.





This one is my favorite jumping shot of them all!!!


Then we went back to the house to capture Jessica & Albert in their natural environment… eh hem…



Nerf Guns are apparently the best wedding gift, ever :)


Unless, of course, you give them his & her Macs!

Jessica & Albert – I love you guys! It’s been soooo fun hanging out with you, photographing you, and getting to know you both over the last year! I can’t wait to put together an awesome and FUN wedding album for you in the coming weeks :)

Oh, and for the record, after getting it cleaned, Jessica donated her dress to Brides Against Breast Cancer – which I think is pretty freakin’ awesome!!! If you want to learn more about the organization or want to find out how to donate your dress, click here!

Jessica & Albert’s Engagement Session

I had a great engagement session the other day with Jessica & Albert. Jessica is one of those brides who loves photography. A bride who stalks wedding & photography blogs all day long, and who even has her own blog. You know, the dreamy type of bride who photographers just LOVE! So, I knew this would be a fun shoot :)

Jessica is a Harvard grad, and they’re getting married at Harvard Memorial Church – so we decided to start on campus. These two are serious characters, and have a tendency to make crazy faces – so a lot of the photos turned out really fun and very relaxed.

Albert throwing the peace sign


I’m not sure if she’s roaring at him, or just trying to bite his face – but he looks pretty intimidated


And it turns Albert has some serious ups – so we had to catch some action shots


We also caught a few (slightly) more serious shots



Oh, this one was a killer. They started cracking up about 2 seconds later, but I got it! ;)



After we played around campus for a while, we took a walk towards the Charles. And we found this awesome little deck…




On the bridge, watching the boats go by


We made Albert show off some more :)


Had to stop at Berry Line for some frozen yogurt!


And then, we hit the grand opening of the new Apple Store on Boylston! We were pretty excited to check it out, but were rather disappointed (though not surprised) to find a line around the corner and a 2-hour wait to get in! Boo hoo! At least we got to see it. We even brought our own apples to celebrate :)



On our way back to the T we walked by the Boston Marathon Finish Line. So we finished the shoot marathon-style.


Jessica & Albert, it was awesome hanging out with you guys – I had a blast! I can’t wait for your wedding in a couple weeks. Woah! A couple weeks – that’s coming up soon! ;)
