Behind the Scenes: What Goes Into a Holiday Mini Session

August 27, 2025

Every year, our Holiday Mini Sessions become one of the most loved traditions at Krista Mason Photography. They may look like effortless fun in the final gallery with kids laughing, families snuggled up, and parents glowing with pride, but behind the scenes, there is so much thought, care, (a few meltdowns) and planning that goes into creating those magical 30 minutes.

Best Photo Locations When Traveling to Los Angeles

August 4, 2025

Finding the ideal location is just as crucial as choosing the right photographer, especially when you’re traveling to a new city and aren’t sure of all the in’s and out’s of where is best. In LA, it can be tricky – navigating permitting requirements, dealing with crowds, managing visual clutter, and ensuring there’s ample space for your kids to run around. How do you find a place with beautiful lighting, minimal red tape, a style that fits your vision, convenience, and a playful atmosphere to capture your travels?!

Brand Photos for Midwives, Doulas, and Birthing Centers: Mind Body Birth

June 19, 2025

This was my third brand session with Mind Body Birth, a wellness and birthing center in Los Angeles. Each time I photograph this incredible team, I feel like I’m witnessing something truly special.

Faith, the founder, trains a new group of midwives annually. This means we always update their headshots to reflect the team’s growth and evolution. This latest session was particularly exciting: welcoming Tamara, and Tchala officially became a partner alongside Faith. These were significant advancements for the practice, and it was a joy to document their evolving dynamic.
