Creating Loving and Cheerful Family Memories

Yuba City Photographer Kristina Geddert smiles during a photo session.

Hi! I’m Kristina Geddert: Providing joyful and bold photos for young families!

You love your kids, but wrangling them for a photo session feels overwhelming. Getting them out the door feels challenging enough, but what if they don’t listen or smile? Well, you have absolutely come to the right place. As your Yuba City Photographer, I not only have have 15 years of photography and editing experience, but I have just as much experience working with kids! I was an elementary school teacher for 10 years and in addition also taught at summer camps, a preschool, and a swim school dedicated to teaching children with disabilities how to swim! Not only do I possess all of the skills to get your children smiling at the camera and capturing beautiful photographs of them, but I will have them playing, laughing and having an absolute blast! Sit back and relax, and I will do the rest. You will be laughing and enjoying yourself in no time, and walking away with beautiful memories and photographs! Bring me your authentic selves. The chaos, snotty noses, and all. I connect well with all ages and personality types and have all of the tricks up my sleeves to keep everyone enjoying themselves, from the babies to the dads!

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!
