    If you want the BEST photographer, Kristina is it! July 2026 she was hired for my daughter Sweet 16 party at a catering venue. Kristina is beyond professional and so engaging. Our entire family noticed not only how likeable Kristina is, but how she did her job while blending in and not distracting anyone or anything from the actual event. Besides the evening of the party, her photos came out AMAZING. It was an extremely busy time for us, so we were pleasantly surprised to see the evening in a timeline of photos; from the food spread, table settings, card/gift table...I can't express enough how great the photos were. Not only were they great, but the link came within a week. We are already looking forward to having Kristina photo shoot our daughter's senior pics! Highly recommend her. You will not be disappointed.

    Kristina was absolutely amazing! It was a little hectic when she arrived. We were getting ready at the hotel room. She immediately started looking for little details to take pictures of, and finding a spot to hang up my dress for a picture. She brought a crochet hook and helped my mom button my dress, and she even helped bustle my dress during cocktail hour. She remembered the sunset pictures (my husband and I were on the dance floor and we would have forgotten!). I forgot to take pictures with some of our guests, but luckily Kristina took a lot of candids! She was fantastic! We would absolutely hire her again for any event.

    So I just received my swimming pictures and was very unhappy With the editing. I contacted Kristina and asked if she had an unedited photo and she did. I expressed my concerns and asked for her to replace the over edited picture of my son for the original photo taken and she wanted to charge me again. I already Paid $42 for one 5 x 7 and two magnets because that was the only way to get the photos you wanted. You had to buy the digital copy. So not only did I spend a lot of money but she refused to replace the three photos just to make a customer happy. It looked like my son‘s head was placed on someone else’s body. He was super tan and looked like he had baby oil all over him. His shoulders looked squared off and edited. When I simply asked her to swap out the photos to make her customer happy, not only did she refuse, but she got very nasty and continue to text me.” I’m sorry you’re unhappy with the way your son posed.” So I would say, overpriced, very nasty and now stalking me because I put a bad review.

    Im sorry to hear you were disappointed with your experience. My goal is always to provide high-quality sports portraits that families will enjoy. When your order was placed, you agreed that the final image selection would be made at the photographer’s discretion. After reviewing your concerns , I also provided the original image for comparison and explained why a different image had not been selected. Although I was unable to replace the completed order at no charge, I did offer to create a new edit and reprint the products using your preferred image for the applicable replacement cost, but that option was declined. Regarding pricing, I work hard to keep my sports portrait packages affordable while delivering professional-quality images. As for your comment about being “stalked”, my communication was limited to the questions and messages you sent regarding your order. My goal was to simply answer your questions and address your concerns. I appreciate all feedback and wish you and your family the very best.
