Travel is my passion, and capturing what I see is my gift. My mission in life is to go to as many places as possible, and share my experiences in any way I can.

In between travels, I have many projects and adventures to keep me plenty busy.

I am an Official Photographer for The Body Gallery, Pedro Sauer Total Self Defense, and sometimes AOL Inc.

I am currently working on a book project to publish many of the whiskey photos from the whiskey tour I did with my friend, Kate Hopkins for her book, 99 Drams of Whiskey.

I am also deeply involved in a book and blog project called Inklination. It is an attempt to capture and tell the stories behind people's most meaningful tattoos. You can read more about it here.

I also do portrait photography, without the stuffiness of a studio. Forced smiles rarely capture your true essence. I come to your home or a scenic place of your choosing to photograph you and your loved ones in a relaxed, no pressure environment.

I am local to the DC area, but am often visiting my home state of New Mexico.

For a flat fee of $100 you get at least 100* different high quality shots to choose from, and an online gallery on this site. The online gallery can be made private with a password, and is easily shareable to anyone you choose to give it to. And you and your loved ones can buy prints straight from it!

There is never any pressure to buy packages of photos, you only buy those you like, in the sizes you want.

I am also available for small weddings where only one photographer is acceptable. :)

If you would like me to photograph your family or event, please contact me at krysta@staringatthesky.com to discuss pricing and availability.
