MPL is excited to share the works of Krista Flynn. Krista is a nature and portrait photographer residing in Honeoye Falls.

Krista is inspired by the changing seasons, small, overlooked details, finding magic in the ordinary, light, and meaningful connection. Krista loves finding creative uses of light as well as intentional camera movement.

As a nature photographer, Krista loves both small details and larger landscapes. One of her favorite places to photograph is the Adirondack mountains, a place that her late father adored. Krista loves to remember him through attempting to display the beauty of the place he loved so much. When she is photographing her human subjects, Krista is most inspired by authentic joyful moments that tell a story and loving connections between family members.

Krista hopes to spread joy and beauty through her imagery. She is so grateful to be here and invites you to follow along with her on her journey either on Facebook or Instagram.
