My name is Kristianne Koch Riddle and I have been a photographer for a very long time. I am also more recently a wife, mom, fledgling designer, ocean lover, struggling greenie. I live in San Clemente, CA with my husband and two kids. We love to surf, sail, go to the beach and live in paradise. Well, we kind of do and hope to really live in paradise someday. Four to five years from now we dream of being on our 42+ foot sailboat cruising around the world. But that’s a dream and this is life and photography gives me lots of joy in my life right now.
I love warm tropical days, sand between my toes and salt on my skin, good design, old fashioned values and focaccia bread dipped in hazelnut oil and fig vinegar. I don’t like rude drivers, when my plants die, wasting food or forgetting things.
When I am on a photography adventure with clients, I love capturing the joy in their life. I look forward to being like a fly on the wall; photographing your daily adventures and routines in the places that mean something to you as a family so that you can remember those moments for years to come.
In my camera bag: Nikon D300, Nikon D70, 20mm 2.8, 35mm 1.8, 50/1.8, 28-85mm, 70-210mm.
