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.

I had so much fun photographing Cori and her growing family recently. We started at the park where she and her husband were married and ended up at her folks’ beach house where the kids go “every day!” It was a beautiful morning and the start to some warmer weather for us-finally.

I recently had the honor of photographing my first cousin once removed. She was supposedly a “sleeper” but was wide awake the entire time I was photographing her. I was so hesitant to wake Maliea when she was a brand new baby that the only pics I have of her were taken while she was swaddled . . . → Read More: [photography] is a new life \ socal newborn photographer
