Hey, I’m Krystie.

I’m a photographer, studio owner, music video director, concert junkie, and professional collector of way too many ideas.

I’ve been behind a camera for 8 years and have spent the last almost 2 years building Venom & Velvet Studios into one of the things I’m most proud of. Over the years I’ve photographed hundreds of women, mentored other photographers, built an amazing community, and learned that the best images usually happen when people stop trying to be perfect.

When I’m not shooting boudoir, I’m usually in a concert pit with a camera in hand, writing about live music, directing music videos, or dreaming up my next creative project.

At the end of the day, I just love telling stories. Sometimes that’s through a boudoir session, sometimes it’s through a concert review, and sometimes it’s helping bring an artist’s vision to life on set. Whatever the project, my goal is always the same: create something meaningful, memorable, and real.
