about me

Remember This Season

I specialize in family, maternity, and newborn photography in Virginia Beach, creating images that feel romantic, emotive, and genuine. My goal is for your photos to look beautiful, but more importantly, I want you to look back on them years from now and remember exactly how this season felt.

step two

Let's Connect

Even though you'll receive everything automatically, I love getting to know my clients personally. I'll reach out to chat about your vision, answer any questions, and help you decide if we're the perfect fit before you book.

step one

Inquiry

Once you inquire through my contact form, you'll automatically receive my Investment Guide with all the details on pricing and what's included, a Location Guide featuring all of my favorite session spots, and access to my booking calendar where you can view availability and reserve your session right away!

step four

Tell Me About Your Family

Within 24 hours of booking, you'll receive a Style Guide to start thinking about what your family will wear, and questionnaire where you'll finalize your location, tell me who's joining the session, and share anything you'd like me to know before we meet!

step three

Make It Official

When you choose your date and time through the booking calendar, you'll complete your contract and pay the $100 non-refundable retainer (which goes toward your total). Once that's done, you're officially on my calendar!

step six

Final Payment

One week before your session, you'll receive your final invoice. The remaining balance is due at least 24 hours before your session.

step five

Planning Your Session

After I review your questionnaire, we'll chat through all the details, from wardrobe to any special moments you want documented. I'll also create a personalized, shoppable mood board for your family to make outfit planning simple and stress-free, completely complimentary.

step eight

Session Day

On the day of your session, I'll send a quick check-in message to see if you have any last-minute questions. Then we'll meet at our designated location, and all you have to do is love on your family while I capture the moments you'll want to remember for years to come.

step Seven

Session Prep

The day before your session, you'll receive my Day Before Guide with everything you need to know, including where to park, where we'll meet, what to bring, and a few tips to help the session go as smoothly as possible!

love notes

"Krystal was able to capture our family in a natural way" 

- The Bergstressor Family

"We loved working with Krystal for our newborn/family photos. It was so nice to have her come to our home so that everyone was comfortable. Krystal was so helpful with our toddler son and made him feel included in everything that she did. She took extra time to make sure that he was engaged so that everything went smoothly. Our pictures came out great and Krystal was able to capture our family in a natural way that did not feel posed or uncomfortable. Thank you, Krystal!"




love notes

"I absolutely just loved the entire session and the attention to detail"

- The McCullough Family

I absolutely just loved the entire session and the attention to detail. There’s times I look back and I’m like dang I wish someone would’ve told me to fix my shirt etc and I just loved how the whole session went!!! I also love that you provide an ideas for outfits!!! That truly made all the difference in prepping for this shoot 🥹



love notes

"10/10 will continue to get photos done with her because she is literally THE best!"

- The Carr Family

Krystal has been taking my family’s photos for a whole year now!! I’m obsessed with how easy she is to work with and the quality of her photos. She makes something I dread, fun! 10/10 will continue to get photos done with her because she is literally THE best!


love notes

"We cannot recommend her enough and are so thankful"

- The Macdonald Family

We are beyond grateful for Krystal and the experience she gave us during our maternity photo session. The photos she captured are absolutely breathtaking, each image is stunning, and you can tell she takes her time editing every detail to turn them into true masterpieces. Working with Krystal was an absolute joy, and we will continue coming back to her for our family photos for years to come. We cannot recommend her enough and are so thankful for her and her talent!

love notes

"We will continue to book all family pictures with her in the future!!"

- The Jones Family

My husband and I absolutely LOVEEEEED working with Krystal! Not only is she super friendly, but as someone who hates taking pictures she made it so fun and had poses and positioned my husband and I. She’s super sweet and flexible with your needs and constantly hypes you up during your shoot (I needed this as someone who gets insecure in front of a camera). She made the whole day so special for us! We did the bump to baby bundle and are super excited to share our special moments with her! We will continue to book all family pictures with her in the future!!

FAQs

Do you only photograph families, maternity, + newborns?

Do you only photograph families, maternity, + newborns?

Yes, however if you're interested in having something else captured, I'd love to refer you to other photographers I know you'd be in great hands with!

When should I book my maternity session?

When should I book my maternity session?

I recommend reaching out early in your second trimester to reserve your maternity session. We'll plan your session for when you're between 30 and 34 weeks pregnant!

When should I book my newborn session?

When should I book my newborn session?

Reach out when you're still pregnant, the second you know you want newborn photos! I’ll reserve your due date, and once you’re discharged from the hospital, we’ll set an exact date. Sessions are best held within the first two weeks after birth. I only schedule 1-2 newborns a month so these spots fill quickly!

What do we wear?

What do we wear?

Choose comfortable, neutral-toned outfits that feel like you. Once you’re booked, I’ll send over a full style guide to help you plan your family’s looks, along with local hair and makeup artist recommendations. I always suggest going pro to help you feel your absolute best on session day! To make planning even easier, I’ll create a personalized, shoppable mood board for your family, taking the guesswork out of coordinating outfits and ensuring everything photographs beautifully together. You’ll also have access to my client closet and recieve a complimentary dress rental through Don’t Stress the Dress to help complete your vision for your session!

What if the weather's bad?

What if the weather's bad?

Because Virginia Beach weather can be unpredictable, I’ll wait until a couple of hours before your session to make the final call on rescheduling. This allows us to have the most accurate forecast and avoid unnecessary changes. Please keep in mind that cloudy and overcast skies are not a reason to reschedule, as they provide some of the softest, most beautiful lighting for photography. If you choose to reschedule due to overcast conditions, a rescheduling fee will apply.
