behind the lens
kalissa!
A 25 year old documentary + cinematic style photographer based in Northern California (Bay Area). I’m drawn to shooting your love stories and lifestyle creative portraits. I’m heavily inspired by nature, traveling, cinematic films, movement, books, & music. When I’m not taking photos, I love thrifting, long walks with my bf, being an auntie, youtube pilates videos at home, and spending time with my childhood besties.
Photography and creativity are woven into almost every moment of my day. I’m always seeking out inspiration and discovering unique locations for shoots. My mind is constantly turning over new ideas, framing scenes in everyday life and imagining how they’ll translate into meaningful images.
The connection I build with my clients is incredibly important to me, creating a space where they feel comfortable to open up and share their stories. It’s through this trust that I’m able to capture genuine emotions and craft images that feel true to who they are.
My style is heavily influenced by that filmy look we all love. The true hues, rich greens, deep blues, and the perfect amount of grain that I incorporate into my style creates images that feel nostalgic, cinematic, & even emotional.
I’ve spent years finding my style from how I shoot, edit, and run a business— and I’ve finally found my groove in simply just capturing human connection. I keep things simple and organized in my business, creating a fun and low pressure experience for us to capture your most genuine self and make beautiful art.
I’m deeply grateful for your consideration in my work + confident in where I am headed. I would be honored to capture your story, creating memories for a lifetime. I can’t wait to connect with you.
