Sharing my motherhood journey while capturing yours.

Welcome to The Nelson Nook. So happy you're here!

I'm a photographer, mother, and wife embracing this beautiful season of life. At The Nelson Nook I am sharing my journey of motherhood through blogging while capturing YOUR family stories through photography.

my story

Meet Krystal

Hello! I'm Krystal Nelson, a mother, a wife, and a passionate photographer based in the vibrant city of Austin, Texas. Before diving into photography full-time, I was a kindergarten educator, which instilled in me a deep appreciation for the innocence and wonder of childhood. Now, I have the joy of combining my love for teaching with my passion for photography, creating beautiful, heartfelt images that tell your unique story. When I'm not behind the camera, you'll find me spending quality time with my husband and our two boys, sipping an iced latte, thrifting, baking or working on a DIY project - there is always one in progress! I believe that every moment, big or small, is worth celebrating and preserving through photographs. Whether it's a joyous family gathering, a milestone celebration, or the simple beauty of everyday life, I'm here to capture those memories with warmth, creativity, and a touch of nostalgia. Let's create something special together!

UNPOSED

Unlike traditional posed photography, a session with me will focus on documenting genuine interactions and activities, creating a visual narrative of your life as it unfolds.

AUTHENTIC

The goal is to capture the beauty in the mundane, the extraordinary in the ordinary, and the magic that lives in the small moments we often overlook.

COMFORTABLE

The places you visit and the clothes you wear makes your family unique. We will chat about styling and locations that truly represent your family in this stage of life.
