About

Welcome to Fern Leaf Photography!
Hello there! I'm Krystal, a proud Tacoma native who cherishes the art of capturing beautiful moments in the lives of families just like yours. Nestled just outside the Tacoma city limits, I live with my wonderful husband, my energetic son, two stinky old dogs, a sassy cat, and four chickens. Together, we create a lively and loving home that serves as the backdrop for my passion: family photography.
With over a decade of experience as a project/program manager in the creative and marketing field, I've had the privilege of collaborating with talented creatives from various disciplines. Throughout my career, I've managed both small and large photoshoots for a diverse range of clients. It's been an incredible journey that has allowed me to hone my skills and develop a keen eye for capturing those special moments that tell your unique family story.
Despite my professional background, I must admit that I'm a bit shy when it comes to being in front of the camera myself. This personal experience has fueled my commitment to creating a comfortable and relaxed environment during our sessions. I understand the importance of putting you and your family at ease, allowing the genuine and beautiful moments to unfold naturally.
Before my venture into the creative world, I spent time as a youth sports coach and preschool instructor. This background has given me a special connection with children, making it easy for me to engage with your little ones during our sessions. I strive to make every photoshoot a fun and enjoyable experience for the whole family.
At the core of my work is a deep passion for creating lasting memories that your family will cherish for a lifetime. I believe in capturing the essence of your unique bonds, creating images that will become treasured family heirlooms for generations to come. Your story is special, and it's my honor to freeze those fleeting moments in time, ensuring they become a timeless part of your family's history.
Thank you for considering me to be a part of your family's journey. I look forward to capturing the magic and love that makes your family truly one of a kind. Let's create something beautiful together!
