Hi, I'm Joan!

I love capturing genuine moments of joy and my aim during photo sessions is to help capture yours. The most satisfying part of what I do is meeting new people and witnessing the beautiful connections with their loved ones. I can’t wait to meet you and get to know you a bit more. Together, we can create lovely photos for you and your family to enjoy for future generations to come.

Joan Kristine Photography is a husband-and-wife team based in San Diego, California. My husband, Delfin, and I specialize in portrait photography—mainly for children and families. It was our first-born son who inspired me to focus on documenting the little moments of life. Our family of three soon grew to five and so I decided to focus on raising our little kiddos. Now, we're parents to three teenagers and one fur baby and found our way back to our photography business. I continue to find joy in capturing emotion in my photos and finding beauty in all things.
