" I can't think of anyone else who can photograph our family, as Kristin feels like an extension of ours. Our kids love her and she is so kind, caring, and considerate. She offers suggestions, and is open to feedback. Kristin has a clear vision for every session, and then just goes with whatever comes her way. That flexibility makes each session fun and she is so easy to work with. She keeps the kids engaged, while photographing them in their element, which we all know is a challenge with little ones. I look forward to (what feels like) our yearly "get togethers" that definitely feel more like an experience together, not a photo session."

What clients are saying

There is something about film that speaks to us. Generation after generation, film remains timeless. There's a reason why we love our grandparent's wedding photos - film stands the test of time. In twenty years, you won't look back and regret investing in this classic medium. Trends and VSCO filters will come and go, but the photos that we capture together will live beyond Instagram.

Why film?
- Vanessa, Mom
"I only have one real "yearly" request of my family, and that is for someone other than myself to photograph us. I whole-heartedly trust Kristin to do this in the most authentic way. She has an eye for detail that I admire, and her ease with film photography in capturing my children are just a few things I am impressed with."
- Jessica, mom and Artist
"Kristin did an incredible job capturing my family! The best part was that it hardly felt like a photoshoot because she made us all feel so comfortable, this is very evident in our photos. She was laid back the entire time and it truly felt like an experience as we enjoyed the beach and each other. Kristin captured each member of my family so well, from the curls of my daughter's hair to my son's expressions and my husband's dimple - the attention to detail and artful approach she takes is worth every penny."
