Hello! I'm Krystle.
I'm so happy you stopped by my website. Every client has a unique story & I love capturing so many precious moments of those stories through my lens.
I understand not everyone likes to be in front of the camera, so I try my best to make everyone laugh & feel comfortable while capturing those genuine smiles.
I understand when Mom's show up after a long time of running around stores & looking online trying to find the perfect outfits that coordinate, then after a long day of work, prepping for an hour or more to get everyone dressed, making sure everyone's hair is done perfectly & just try to make sure they don't get stains on their clothes on the drive to the studio. I understand the Mom whose kids are running around & full of energy, as parents apologize for the crazy chaos of it all & I feel it so deeply in my soul because I am that Mom. I love all the beautiful chaos, because as much as people try to hide it, that's life. Photography is about capturing who we are in the moment, & that's always the most beautiful. Hopefully soon I can capture your beautiful chaos, these moments pass by way too fast. Capture all of them that you can, in the most beautiful way.
MORE ABOUT KLiK & MY WHY!
I started KLiK Photography in 2008 in Faribault MN.
The KL & K in KLiK are my maiden name initials and is pronounced like a camera "click".
Throughout high school, I won state awards for my photography in the yearbook and newspaper which helped me realize that others were enjoying my work, as much as I enjoyed capturing them. When I was just 15 years old, my Dad passed away from cancer (at just 39 years old.) In October 2015, at 6 months pregnant with my second daughter, I had surgery to have cancer removed as well. I know how much things like this effect families and also understand why photos with your loved ones are so important. Because of this, I love to give back and donate to many local events in our community.
Being that I am self-taught in photography (besides for a newborn safety and posing workshop) my work continues to evolve as I am learning, as well as my studio space. I started the business out of my home offering photo shoots to friends and family in 2009. My small business took off very fast. I got a space at the Faribo West Mall and within 6 months, moved to a space triple the size. I then moved to an even bigger space on Central Ave in Faribault, then in 2017 built a new studio on 7 acres in the outskirts of Faribault.
Most people will say its not only my quality of photos, but my bubbly, fun, outgoing personality that keeps my customers coming back and feeling more like friends and family.
Whether you are someone who has been coming to me for photos since I started or a new customer, you will be greeted with a smile, and always welcomed at KLiK.

“When you choose a photographer, most people chose one by recommendations, cost, how they look on their website. Well let me give you a small look into why I will continue to recommend KLiK. Krystle started with doing Santa photos for my granddaughter, which, to anyone who loves Christmas best Santa ever!!! Then over the years she has caught all the milestones along the way. What I didn’t expect though, was when she did my sons senior photos, that those photos would be a life savor. She did (continued next)”

“She did a fantastic job as always & caught something that helped us find out our son was type one diabetic. So for anyone who just thinks, “Oh it’s just a photographer” No it’s so much more when you get Krystle. You get a great friend and a person who can capture every moment - even life saving ones! I can’t thank her enough for all she has done through the years for me!!”
