About
My Story
Hello there! I am Kristen, a wife, mother and photographer of life's best moments. I am a native of Ohio but have journeyed through Los Angeles, Seattle, San Jose and now residing in Austin, Texas with my husband, three kids and a German Shepherd named Max. As many others my story has changed course many times over the years but one thing has remained, my love for pictures. For as long as I can remember I loved having a camera around and planning out photoshoots with my friends in high school. After high school I went on to the University of Toledo and majored in Film/Video and thought for sure I would go make movies I headed to LA. In LA I ended up falling into a job within the world of commercial real estate and it served me well in creating a strong foundation for business, customer service and a love of travel.
After landing in the Bay Area and meeting a handsome guy, who's now my husband, he encouraged me to start my business. So in 2013 I founded Kristen Beccia Photography and at that time I took any and all kinds of sessions. This was great because I got to dip my toes into the wedding industry as well as family photography and it really sparked my passion for working with babies and families.
In 2018 we relocated our own family to Austin for a chance to breath and really enjoy the stage of life my little kids were at. It was then that I turned my focus completely on learning how to safely and comfortably work with newborns. Every year I complete safety courses and in person workshops with the best of the best in the industry to ensure your baby is safely handled during each session.
I love a good journey and a great story, and your story is just getting started. Be sure to take the time to capture the moments with a professional photographer so you don't look back and realized it passed you by.
