at least he looks happy-ish in this one


I’m Kris Ladera,

a traveling photographer who specializes in wedding, lifestyle, and commercial imagery. Since graduating from Texas A&M University, I have worked as an engineering intern, an advocate for veteran benefits, and an AutoCAD draftsman for a custom woodwork company. Through my ever-changing educational and professional careers, one thing has remained constant - my passion for photography.

Before shooting professionally, I would bring my camera everywhere, taking pictures of random objects and strangers on the street. I found that capturing candid scenes - friends laughing at bad jokes, a new couple holding hands in secret, catching my best friend in the middle of a sneeze - helped to tell the best stories.

So, that is exactly how I want to capture you:

 
 

unscripted, unposed,
just being yourself during
life's important moments.

 

 

I have been fortunate enough to document graduations and pinnings, engagements and weddings, pregnancies and first birthday parties. As your photographer, I would love to do the same for you.

Let's work together to tell the story of your life and the lives of your loved ones.
