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!

A holiday session at home with family

winter extended family lifestyle portrait photography at home near Christmas

Talk about a quintessential pre – holiday family day! These grandparents had their children and grandchildren over for a beautiful session with Krista just before Christmas last year. My favorite moments captured are the ones that catch the family just being themselves. Sometimes quietly, sometimes goofily, but always genuine and real.

Baby Mason – Downtown Boston Family Portrait Session

111514_D0064-Edit
Krista shot Katelyn and Evan’s wedding several years ago and now they have a super cute little guy named Mason! They all met up in Boston, on a very chilly fall day, and wandered around. Mason was such a trooper and happily walked around in the cold, allowing Krista to capture his dimpled grin at every turn!

Baby Donnie – Backyard family portrait session

Krista met Jessica several years ago when she was a bridesmaid in Elena and Dan’s wedding and was thrilled to hear from her wanting to do family portraits at the family’s home. Backyard firepit, a walk in the woods, an adorable pup AND baby boy with two perfectly placed bottom teeth – it made for a fabulous morning!

Bonnie + Steve — Engagement Portrait Session

I had so much fun walking around Somerville with Bonnie & Steve during their engagement session! It was great to just get to know them both a little better, and enjoy their neighborhood. Engagement sessions are such a fun peek into my clients’ everyday lives – and I think that’s just as fun as being with them on the BIG days!

Home sweet home!
