Washington state based photographer documenting rad couples + families who crave photos that will make ya feel alive.

I'm Kal!

 GET TO KNOW ME 

As a mama and photographer, I understand just how important it is to capture those raw, real moments that often go unseen. The everyday moments with our families are the ones we'll miss the most. That's why I'm here.  I create a comfortable, free feeling environment where you can let your hair down, kick your shoes off, laugh and let your kiddos reign havoc. It's in these unscripted and beautifully chaotic moments that we'll capture the memories that you'll hold dearly for years to come.

"Sweet Jesus they're absolutely incredible!"

Kalysta totally captured us as a family & my son's essence in particular, Tim's never that relaxed in photos, chef's kiss all around.

KIND WORDS

"I can't believe that's us.. the emotions I feel when looking at these are unmatched. "

It's like everything I've been trying to say and can't is in these photos. They took my breath away. I've never seen myself in such a beautiful way, and new light as a mother. The emotion she captured is just truly beyond me. Being a mom can be freaking exhausting, but damn it's a beautiful ride. I was so stressed my boys were misbehaving and Kalysta kept me at ease and comfortable, she slowed me down and reminded me she was in no rush. She was patient ( & freaking hilarious) and the moments she captured in the chaos of my rambunctious boys were some of my favorite. Not to mention my boys LOVED her. She gave me more than just a photo gallery. These photos captured my heart and I will cherish them forever. I can never say thank you enough for these. Wow. Just when I thought I couldn't love them anymore.

"Finding Kalysta, and hiring her to take our engagement pictures is the best decision we could have made!"

Working with Kalysta was amazing! She made me and my fiancé feel so comfortable even though we usually feel awkward in front of a camera. I was so excited to see the photos, and to my surprise we didn't have to wait long! She sent our sneak peak photos to us just a few hours after our photoshoot! And we got the full album in less than 2 weeks! The quality of her work is amazing. To say I am happy with our engagement photos is an understatement.
