Forced Family Fun

I don’t expect you to have your sh*t together during photos. I expect teenagers to be teenagers, kids to be kids, toddlers to be toddlers, dogs to be dogs, etc. I embrace the chaos. I love it. It’s what makes a family. I’m honored to bear witness to it- to watch mamas console their nervous littles with hugs and songs, to see husbands make their wives giggle after needing to be told four times where to put their hands, to have the new puppy attack me and lick my camera lens as I try to bribe with treats… The little awkward moments during your photoshoot are meaningful, and they are never a distraction from my work. They are a part of the process.

Allowing you to feel at ease and be yourself during a session with me is part of how I create genuine portraits. Click on any of the albums below to see more of what to expect with Krista Ruth.
