KRISTY DRAKE PHOTOGRAPHY
WHERE DOCUMENTARY AND BRAND PHOTOGRAPHY MEET

OWNER + PHOTOGRAPHER
Hi all!
I’m Kristy, a Calgary-based photographer, specializing in both Lifestyle and Commercial imagery. My journey in photography is deeply rooted in my small-town upbringing in Montana, which shaped my appreciation for the heart of small businesses. Working alongside entrepreneurs is one of the most rewarding aspects of my career – their passion and vision inspire me every day. I love connecting with each individual, helping their ideas come to life through the lens so that others can experience them too.
As a mother of three, I also understand the importance of capturing families in their most authentic form. It’s not just about a photo; it’s about creating a space where each family can be themselves, where their personalities can shine, and where memories are made. My approach is all about connection, allowing families to interact in their unique way.
With a documentary-style approach, I aim to create images that not only capture a moment but stand the test of time. It’s about storytelling, emotion, and authenticity.
I am passionate about teaching others how to see photography not just as a craft, but as a way to capture the soul of a moment. Whether you're looking to improve your skills or learn how to express yourself through the lens, I’m here to guide you in exploring the deeper aspects of this art form.
I can’t wait to meet you and help you experience the true depth of photography!
I look forward to meeting you!
-Kristy
