Travel is my passion, and capturing what I see is my gift. But I don't just shoot scenery, I also enjoy taking pictures of people. I am local to the DC area, but am often visiting my home state of New Mexico. I do portrait photography, without the stuffiness of a studio. Forced smiles rarely capture your true essence. I come to your home or a scenic place of your choosing to photograph you and your loved ones in a relaxed, no pressure environment. For a flat fee, you get at least 100* different high quality shots to choose from, and an online gallery on this site. The online gallery can be made private with a password, and is easily shareable to anyone you choose to give it to. And you and your loved ones can buy prints straight from it! There is never any pressure to buy packages of photos, you only buy those you like, in the sizes you want. If you would like me to photograph your family or event, please contact me at krystasch@aol.com to discuss pricing and availability. *often between 200-300. http://staringatthesky.smugmug.com/Personal/Me/IMG7969/583673670_QidMx-Ti.jpg http://staringatthesky.smugmug.com/Scenery and Travel/ 2009-12-06T15:17:52Z Copyright 2009, the copyright holder of each photograph.
