Meet Aleia Kristeen

Virginia Beach Lifestyle photographer

Hey there! I’m a 27-year-old photographer based out of Virginia Beach, VA. Ever since I was little, anything to do with photography, painting, or drawing—I was all in. If you know me, you know I’m the ultimate crafty girl and always love learning new things. A little over two years ago, I picked my camera back up and decided to turn photography into something more, and it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made. The best part is, it never feels like a job—I truly love meeting new people, capturing their beautiful moments, and building genuine connections along the way.


I’ve found that I love photographing a little bit of everything, which is why I consider myself a lifestyle photographer. Whether it’s your family Christmas card photos, your baby’s first birthday, your engagement session, or anything in between, I’m here for it all. My goal is to make sure you feel comfortable, relaxed, and able to just be yourself. I want your session to feel fun, natural, and full of real moments—so you walk away not only loving your photos, but actually enjoying the experience too!

More About Me (Beyond the Camera)



Outside of photography, I recently graduated with my Bachelor’s degree in nursing, which has been such an exciting chapter for me. I’ve always loved anything crafty, and right now my current obsession is sewing projects. I also love staying active and spending quality time with my friends, whether that’s beach days or just getting together to watch the newest season of a show. I love the little moments! I’m a huge fan of disposable cameras and almost always have one on me (below are some of my favorites). There’s just something about film that feels so nostalgic and real, and I’d love to start incorporating more of that into my sessions in the future :)
