Having professional photos taken can be quite stressful. For most people, being in front of the camera doesn’t feel natural! You’re feeling nervous and awkward, wondering what locations or outfits are best. What about timing for the best light?

I love when I take my clients from wedding guest to engagement, to wedding, maternity for their first born and now second born (and all the holidays in-between)!

Our favorite Los Angeles, Orange County and South Bay locations for 2022 Holiday Portrait Sessions!

It feels a bit early to be talking holidays, am I right?!? But, with our sessions booking up so fast and school already starting, I guess it’s time! So here are all the details for 2022 Holiday Sessions. I’ve changed things up a little bit for this 2022 Holiday Season! See below and book your session […]

Meet me! I’m Krista Mason, a photographer that helps women feel comfortable, confident and beautiful in front of the camera.

Whether it’s capturing the moments of your baby starting pre-school, the beautiful connection with your baby bump, sending your oldest off to college, buying your first home, starting a new business, adopting your snuggly furbaby, or just documenting how your little humans, pets or business have grown so much in one year, I am so excited to document this moment for your family. 

Welcome, baby Noa! Get ready for the most precious, princess of girly, newborn session! I love Mom’s style of natural and natural mixed with the pop of pinks and glam headbands! So freaking adorable.

I get this question a lot, and I thought it would be the perfect time to explain to you what a mini session is!

A typical portrait experience lasts an hour or more, a mini session only lasts 20 minutes. It is a simple quick session where you know it will just focus on getting a few great, key shots for your holiday card or to update the walls of your home or document a memory of this moment in time. This is great if you have kiddos (or husbands) that don’t love being in a lot of pictures!

Mini sessions allow current clients the potential to have multiple sessions throughout the year. It allows them to document the moments that change in an instant, and are a great way for a new client to have a small taste of the Krista Mason Photography experience.

Sometimes older siblings just don’t want to cooperate and that’s okay! We will still capture wonderful images of your family, and the star of the show, the newborn!

No matter how big or small the party is, a 1st birthday calls for a cake smash! This little cutie had the sweetest at-home birthday with friends and family. Interested in documenting your own cake smash for your babies first birthday? Email me!

Newborn sessions with siblings are seriously so much fun to shoot. We are documenting some of their first interactions together and the older siblings personality as they experience being the older child for the first time!

Clients favorite location don’t always work for photoshoot, but when they do it’s magical and I always love finding new locations, like the UCLA Botanical Gardens that Jessica introduced me to.

Wait until you see the gorgeous pictures from this maternity session!

You might be thinking that your beautiful neighborhood park is a fantastic spot for your family session. I mean it’s huge, beautiful and right down the street. Convenient, easy and beautiful, sounds like an ideal location right?!?

Well, maybe not.

Here are a few things to to consider when trying to find a location for your family session.
