just me, Kristina Schneider, with a camera in my hand. And here is my story.... 

I have held a camera in my hands since I was a little girl growing up in Texas. It was fascinating to know that I could push the button on top of the camera and then that moment would be frozen forever in a picture.  So with a little guidance from my mom, and a lot of experimentation, I quickly learned to use this tool as my creative outlet.

For me, photography is not just about being able to use this tool technically. Instead, it’s the magic that happens when I hold a camera. When I look through the lens of my camera, everything else, all the noise around me fades away into the background. My thoughts and focus are solely on the story that I see unfolding through the lens. It’s being able to capture some beautiful aspect of a person or place that perhaps gets overlooked too often.

What is the story behind my portrait? When I crossed a milestone in my life, I decided to celebrate with a portrait session that really depicts the true nature of me - a quiet and shy lover of sun, flowers, open spaces and mountains. Purple is my color of choice and hats are my favorite accessory.

Everyone deserves to have their own story told. And as a portrait photographer, I want to help you tell it. So, what is your story?
