Anniversary Photos

My husband and I hired Kristina to capture our 10 year anniversary celebration. She did a nice job providing a variety of candid and posed images. She is reliable, efficient, and extremely professional. Our experience was very pleasant and we would hire her again.

Good work and very professional

I had Kristina shoot photos for my mother's 90th birthday with about 70 attendees: family portraits as well as many unscripted pictures throughout the party of the guests and fun.

Kristina was on time and ready to shoot at the requested time. Results were excellent. The pictures were available to me within a few days, easily downloaded and ready to print.

Good quality photos. Exactly what I was looking for.

What to expect

When you hire me as your photographer, you can expect a professional, well-prepared, and easygoing experience from start to finish. I arrive on time, with high-quality gear and a clear plan tailored to your event or session needs.

Whether I’m documenting a milestone celebration, a family gathering, or a portrait session, I focus on capturing genuine moments, beautiful details, and natural expressions. I’ll guide you when needed but also know when to step back and let the moment unfold organically. My goal is always to make people feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera.

After the shoot, I carefully select and edit the best images — ensuring clean, timeless retouching that enhances the photos without making them feel over-processed. Final images are delivered through a private online gallery, ready to view, download, and share.

In short: You’ll receive high-quality, thoughtfully composed photographs that reflect the spirit of your event — plus a smooth and reliable experience you can feel good about.

About

Hi, I’m Kristina Gillego — a professional photographer, art director, and visual storyteller with over 10 years of experience behind the lens. Now based in Naples, Florida, I specialize in capturing real moments with a polished, editorial touch.
My work spans portraits, events, lifestyle, and branding, and I bring the same thoughtful approach to every shoot — whether it’s an intimate birthday gathering, a professional headshot session, or a creative commercial campaign. I work with both natural and studio lighting, adapting to the needs of each setting to deliver clean, timeless, and visually striking images.
Clients often tell me they appreciate my calm presence, creative eye, and ability to make them feel at ease in front of the camera. I pride myself on delivering high-quality results with professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail.

Let’s create something meaningful together.

Additional booking notes

I bring my own professional photography gear, including camera bodies, lenses, lighting equipment (studio lights or flash), and necessary accessories.

Here’s what I may need depending on the type of session or event:
• For indoor events: Access to power outlets for lighting if additional gear is required
• For portraits or setup sessions: A small, clean space with good lighting or room to set up a backdrop and lights if needed
• For outdoor shoots: Shaded areas or flexible timing for best natural light conditions
• For events: A general timeline or key moment list (e.g., speeches, cake-cutting) is helpful for smooth coverage

If there are specific venue restrictions (e.g., flash photography rules), please let me know in advance so I can adjust accordingly.

Set list

Not applicable — as a photographer, I don’t perform with a set list, but I do follow a structured approach tailored to the event timeline and client needs.

Influences and inspiration

My work is influenced by timeless editorial photography, cinematic storytelling, natural light portraiture, and the emotional honesty found in everyday moments.

Setup requirements

I require a small, accessible space to move freely and set up lighting if needed, with access to a power outlet for indoor sessions.
