The first day of fall is here! For me, fall means cozying up with the people (and pups) I love, slowing down to savor little moments, and feeling that comforting mix of nostalgia and excitement that this season always brings. It’s a time for new recipes, toasty cocktails, cozy mornings with my pups, more time with Aldo in the kitchen, and lots of gatherings. A chance to embrace playful adventures, seasonal magic, and, of course, so many family photos, new brand fall launches, and a full, exciting fall photo season ahead!

While fall may officially start on September 22, let’s be honest, LA never seems to get the memo. We’re over here melting in 104° October heat while trying to wrangle our families into “cozy” sweaters for holiday photos. Not exactly the vibe we’re going for, right?

A full-circle family portrait session in Palm Springs! 10 years after Ivette + Chris said “I do.” From wedding day memories to life as a family of three, this milestone session celebrates love that lasts.

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?!

Meet Zoe: fashionable, adventurous, and totally unforgettable. I first photographed Zoe (and her brother Zach!) when she was just 10 years old and had recently moved to Beverly Hills. It’s been such an honor to capture this amazing family year after year. From annual family portraits to her older brother’s senior photos, and now, it’s […]

If you know me, you know I never travel without booking a professional photographer. From our first adventure in Italy back in 2016 to the misty highlands of Scotland, our wedding in Costa Rica, Spain, and most recently another dreamy Italian getaway — we’ve captured each destination through professional photos.

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.

It was my second time having the pleasure of working with Meg of Harmony Marketing, and each session reinforces my love for collaborating with other marketing and branding teams. When clients understand the crucial concept and need for impactful brand photos and we put our collaborative minds together, the session becomes truly amazing.

It feels like just yesterday we were covered in frosting, capturing the pure joy (and slight mess!) of little Isabel’s first birthday cake smash. You can take a little trip down memory lane and see those adorable moments here!

Since that sweet milestone, I’ve had the absolute privilege of photographing this wonderful family every spring and fall. It’s truly been an honor to witness their journey and capture their growth year after year.

This week is all about appreciation, and not just any kind. The kind that runs deep. That shows up through emails, comfort, confidence and beauty – during sessions, referrals, and every hug at the end of a shoot. I’m taking a moment to shine the spotlight on you – my clients – and the behind-the-scenes collaborators who bring each session to life. Because without this community, Krista Mason Photography wouldn’t be what it is today.

Mother’s Day is just around the corner, and you know what every mom loves? Family photos! Let her be the one to shine! She’s always doing so much for everyone else and often misses out on the moments so let’s not just include her but feature her in a family portrait. It could be all of you or maybe just mom and the kids. It’s perfext for spring, Easter and Mother’s Day – I promise she will love it!

I’m here to celebrate women, not just for women’s month but all day everyday! Women-owned businesses are making waves like never before, and I couldn’t be more here for it! Watching women build their dreams, break barriers, and change the game is nothing short of inspiring. Whether they’re launching passion projects, starting a business for the first time and stepping away from that corporate world, or running service-based businesses that transform lives, they are proving, over and over again, that success has no limits.
