Hey, my name is Krystal Castellanos
I’m a portrait and wedding photographer based in South Texas with a love for capturing genuine connection and timeless, emotional moments. I take a calm, intentional approach to every session so you feel comfortable and naturally yourself in front of the camera. My goal is to create images that not only reflect how your day looked, but how it truly felt.
FAQ
This is my first photoshoot, what should I know?
Never had professional photos taken before? No worries! I’ll guide you through the entire session, from posing to little prompts that help you feel natural in front of the camera. You don’t need to know how to pose or what to do with your hands, I’ve got you! My goal is to make your session feel relaxed, fun, and true to you.
Are there any retainer fees?
Yes! A 40% retainer is required to officially book and secure your session date. The remaining balance is due before your session. Retainers are non-refundable but may be transferred to a rescheduled date when applicable. Your date is not reserved until the retainer has been received.
Are the travel expenses included in your packages?
Travel within the RGV area is included in your session package. Locations outside of my service area may require an additional travel fee, depending on the distance. If you have a specific location in mind, feel free to reach out and I’ll be happy to provide a quote!
Do you offer film photography?
Yes! I offer film photography as an optional add-on for select sessions. Film is a beautiful way to add a nostalgic, timeless feel to your gallery. Availability may vary depending on the session and film stock, so be sure to ask about adding film when booking!
How long does it take from the session date to receive my edited gallery>
Your edited gallery will typically be delivered within 2–3 weeks of your session date. During busy seasons, turnaround times may be slightly longer. I’ll always keep you updated and make sure your gallery is worth the wait!
Can you recommend any good locations?
Absolutely! Location is a big part of creating the look and feel of your photos, and I’m always happy to recommend locations based on your vision, outfit choices, and the type of session you’re looking for. Whether you’re dreaming of a beach session, an open field, a cozy café, or something completely unique, we’ll find a location that fits you!
