Hello, my name is
KRUST
...and it's so nice to meet you. I'd love to share a little bit about myself here, so you can get to know me a little bit better!
My name is Kristina. My older brother gave me the nickname Krust when we were kids and I’ve just embraced it. I grew up in Burlingame, CA and currently reside in San Mateo, CA with my husband, 6 year old son and 4 year old daughter. I began photographing at a young age. I remember my first 110 film camera. I bought it at a garage sale in my neighborhood and it had Mickey Mouse on it! My creative journey began sometime in that era. Aside from photography, I love ceramics, sewing, painting, crafting of all sorts and graphic design. After working in tech for a period of time and discovering that certain aspects of it just weren’t for me, I returned to college and obtained a degree in Photography before going on to obtain a degree in Graphic and Visual Communication Design.
I began shooting lifestyle portraits and in home sessions as I worked towards my degree. I continued working primarily with families as I grew to love the work and the flexibility it offered as I began to grow my own family. Working with children and families is such a joy. I love capturing joyful moments, emotions and the bonds between loved ones.
As my own children grew, I have worked to grow myself creatively and professionally and expand my photography repertoire, working with a variety of subjects.
When I’m not creating, I enjoy outdoor adventures with my family, reading a suspenseful, twisty mystery or cheesy romance novels, I love playing legos with my kids, and I recently returned to dance myself and take adult ballet!
I can’t wait to meet you all in person on Picture Day.
