MEET THE TEAM

  • Krista Valliant

    Owner & Photographer

    I’m deeply passionate about creating portrait and branding photography that tells a story — one that’s honest, elevated, and uniquely you. With over 15 magazine covers featuring my work, I bring the same level of artistry and attention to detail to every session, whether I’m photographing a family, artist, or executive,

    For me, capturing people is more than just a job — it’s an opportunity to create timeless, intentional imagery that reflects who you are and what you represent.

  • Kaylen Johnson

    Brand Manager & Photographer

    I have been a portrait photographer for over six years, specializing in lifestyle and editorial photography. After college I moved to Nashville, where I began working with a wide range of clients. Whether I am photographing people backstage at a sold-out show, in the studio or by the water, my style remains consistent - clean, crafted, and vibrant. My greatest passion is capturing the authentic you through my creative and stylized photographs.

    I recently have relocated back to the East Coast, and am so excited to continue my passion with The Exposure Collective.

  • Ashley Barcus

    Photographer

    For over a decade, I have captured honest, natural moments through lifestyle portraiture. Raised by the shore, I draw inspiration from light, movement, and everyday beauty. My approach is simple and relaxed—focusing on real, in-between moments that tell your story through my photographs with warmth and authenticity. I hope to create timeless images that feel effortless, meaningful, and true to you.

    I am ready to photograph your meaningful moments as a photographer for The Exposure Collective.
