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.

These images are the perfect expression of process. They were developed the way I remember the day, the way I felt that day, and not the way . . . → Read More: [life] is how you feel it

We’ve been spending a lot of time at T-street lately meeting up with friends. My friend Brandy takes her kids down there every Tuesday and Thursday so her son Noah (Grom of The Week in the SC Times recently) can surf. Merrik and Zoe have a great time playing together so I always just join ‘em . . . → Read More: [life] is the T-street crew

T-street is my beach. I know, I know, it’s your beach too. But, it’s the beach where I spent many summer days as a child. The beach where I spent 8 hours every day in the summer as a teenager. It’s the “town” beach in San Clemente and I didn’t spend time at the pier because, . . . → Read More: [life] is the t-street crew
