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.

She bent over backward into a handstand to get them all together for a photo session while they were in town for a family birthday celebration. She was ultimately hoping that she could get all the “kids” in one shot-her dad with . . . → Read More: [photography] is a sneak peak | granger family

[photography] is the joy of childhood

I had to share just a couple of images (pre sneak peak’s!) from a recent shoot. These sum up for me what it feels like to be a kid. This little girl goes to school with Merrik and was such a joy to chase and photograph. My favorites are the ones that I was able to . . . → Read More: [photography] is the joy of childhood
