Capturing life & love  

I’m Kristal, a portrait photographer passionate about  capturing people in their most comfortable expressions, enhanced by beautiful lighting and flattering poses. I LOVE storytelling through images, documenting life’s precious moments, and creating timeless portraits. With over 12 years of experience in portrait photography, I bring a blend of skill, knowledge, and creativity to every session, creating well captured photos and enjoyable photo shoot experiences. 

​

For over a decade, I worked under Kristal Passy Photography in the Pacific Northwest. After relocating to Arizona, I felt inspired to embrace a new name, Maia Stone Photography. The name felt connected to Sedona’s majestic red rocks, evoking a sense of being embraced by the surrounding stones. In Greek, Maia means “mother.” I look forward to capturing your story through my lens!

About me

SPECIALIZING IN

Behind the scenes, the creative process is full of humanity: awkward poses, squinting eye lids, toddlers that won't listen and sweaty palms. I love the raw vulnerability shared with my camera and welcome whatever happens with a warm embrace.

"I love all of her work"

"Kristal is an amazing photographer. She is professional and truly has an eye for beauty. She is also delightful to work with. I was a bit nervous about having my head shots done but she has such an incredible presence and ease; she makes it light and fun and has excellent timing to find the best shot. I love all of her work and I will be calling her again soon for my family photos, which I intend to do in a natural setting since she is incredibly skilled at capturing light in the most magical way."
