Meet the photographer

A life seen
through the lens.

I’m Krysti Hennessey, a published creative photographer with more than a decade of freelance experience. I make editorial-inspired portraits that turn everyday women into icons while keeping their stories, style, and sense of self at the center.

About Krysti

Curiosity became
a lifelong calling.

From a young age, I’ve been fascinated by how photographs can capture the world through someone else’s eyes. That curiosity led me to pick up a camera, and once I did, I was hooked. What began as a creative outlet during my adolescent years grew into a lifelong passion and career.

I earned a degree in photography and have spent more than a decade working as a freelance photographer. Today, I focus on creative, fashion, boudoir, and milestone portraits. I love making images that feel polished and expressive while still looking like the person in front of my lens.

My process begins before shoot day. I consult with each client one-on-one, invite them to share reference images and ideas, and use that conversation to shape the creative direction. On the day, I photograph and guide the session; afterward, I edit the images and deliver them through a private Pixieset online gallery.

Fashion and design are a natural part of how I see a portrait. Color, clothing, setting, and small personal details all help build the image—but the most important part is that you recognize yourself in it.
