We had a wonderful experience for our 30th anniversary! I hired Khrystynalast minute and thankfully she was available to meet us. We had a 30 minute session and although the lighting was very harsh at that time, she was able to work with everything and find different locations for some really nice photos. I would definitely hire Khrystyna for another photo session. She was very punctual, friendly and had fun ideas for poses. Thank you for giving us a special memory on our anniversary!

We absolutely love how our gallery turned out. The photos have such a beautiful cinematic and poetic feel, and they captured the emotions and atmosphere of our wedding so well. Looking through them brings back so many wonderful memories, and we’re so grateful to have these moments preserved.
Working with our photographer was a great experience from start to finish. She made us feel comfortable, captured so many genuine moments, and delivered a gallery that we’ll cherish for years to come. Thank you for helping us relive one of the most special days of our live.

During the shoot, Khrystyna was very kind and easy to work with and even had meaningful conversations. She had many creative ideas and always made sure I felt comfortable and was getting what I wanted. While on campus, she did well at exploring different areas so that we got a variety of photos. She encouraged confidence and made everything seem easy. Also, she was very good at communicating and scheduling. The results were incredible, and I could not be happier with the photos I received.

Thank you so much Titus, this is so sweet! I always want my clients to feel comfortable and actually enjoy the experience, not just get through it. So that means the world to hear. And exploring different spots on campus is always so fun, there's always a hidden gem around the corner! So happy you love your photos. 🤍

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My portrait sessions start around $300/hour, and wedding/videography packages are priced based on coverage time and deliverables, so every quote is tailored to what you actually need. I'm always upfront about cost before we book, no hidden fees. If your date or scope is flexible, let me know; I'm happy to work with you to find an option that fits.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
It starts with a quick conversation about your vision, the type of session (family, portrait, wedding, elopement, proposal, etc.), and your preferred date and location. From there I send over a clear quote and contract, and once that's confirmed. After the session, I edit everything deliver a polished gallery or final video within 1-2 weeks of the shoot.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I'm a self-taught photographer and videographer who has built my craft through years of hands-on experience shooting weddings, elopements, proposals, portraits, and corporate events. I shoot on a Sony A7III and Fujifilm X100VI. I'm continually refining my skills, including working toward my Part 107 drone certification to expand what I can offer clients.
