Hi there! My name is Kristianne Koch Riddle. I am a photographer based in San Clemente, CA and this is my photo blog. I have been passionate about photography for over 20 years. I am also passionate about surfing, sailing and yoga but haven't been able to do as much of those things as I like since having my 2 beautiful kids. I don't like crowds or trendy things.

My blog is where I share my thoughts and a selection of favorite photographs I have made: portrait sessions, my family adventures, personal studies and fine art images part of a series.

I am so glad you stopped by for a visit.

As a vocational photographer, I bring to you, my clients, a fine art photographer's eye and a commercial photographer's preparation and technical skills. I love to spend time with families creating memorable, artistic, storytelling images of their time together. I also love designing out beautiful, contemporary ways to display your images: whether it be a custom session album or framed or mounted print clusters for your walls.

View my portrait portfolio or my fine art portfolio to see more of my photography.

merrik and maliea-one year

Here are Merrik and Maliea at one. See they look different! The only reason Maliea
is nude is because I never got around to doing her “babyparts” photo shoot at
5 months old so I am killing two birds with one stone here. I am so bummed I
don’t have pics of those gorgeous plump thighs and butt. She . . . → Read More: merrik and maliea-one year

We finally made it to Zoe’s house for a visit. It’s only been months since we’ve both had time to get together for a playdate. Zoe now has a new puppy named Coco.
