Sacramento Family Photographer: Capturing Joyful Family Memories

Hi! I’m Kristina Geddert: Providing cheerful, vibrant and lively photos for young families!

You love your kids, but life is hectic and so are the kids. You know photographs preserve your family’s love, laughter, and cherished memories, but time is limited and sometimes just getting out of the door feels overwhelming, let alone wrangling the kids for a photo session. This is where I come in as your Sacramento Family Photographer! Sit back and relax, and I will get everyone engaged and having fun. Get ready to just show up to enjoy your family’s company and leave all worries behind! With over 15 years of experience working with kids of all ages, I know how to connect with any age or personality type.

Bring me your authentic selves. The chaos, snotty noses, and all. We will belly laugh and play during our photo session, and you will walk away with cherished memories that will last a lifetime as well as the amazing photos of course! I have all the tricks up my sleeve to connect with any age and personality. I’ll let your wild ones roam and your shy ones blossom, with the help of lots of fun props and games. Everyone will have a great time!

Start Now

I’ve been a photographer for over a decade. I know the right posing, best lighting and most dynamic photo locations, but I also know how to evoke and then capture real love, true personality and honest emotions with playful games and thoughtful prompts. Also, as someone who doesn’t always love herself in a picture, I know how to help you feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera, and capture all of your best moments and angles.
Before I became a professional photographer, I was an elementary teacher for a decade. Trust me, if I can get 34 fifth graders to enjoy doing hard math problems, I can definitely create the most fun photo session for you and your family. I have all of the tricks up my sleeve to get genuine laughter and smiles from even the most reluctant photo subject (adults included :-p). You’ll find me making the silliest noises for babies, challenging your wiggleworms to a race, or initiating familywide tickle attacks. The moments captured will be precious.
It’s more than just my bold and colorful editing style, or the editing college classes taken and years of practice I’ve had to refine my craft. One thing that sets me apart from other photographers is my hard work, efficiency, time management and editing speed. Put the horror stories of multiple month waiting times into your past, that will NOT happen here. With me, you get a 30 day finished gallery guarantee. But more often, expect to wait just 1 - 2 weeks before receiving your viewing gallery of photos! Need photos on a deadline? No problem!
