From the moment a photo session crosses your mind to the day you display the framed photographs, I’m here to guide the way, making it easy AND enjoyable. I assist with everything, including outfit planning, styling, day of laugh encouragement, and more. The best photographs are created when we are in our most relaxed state, letting go and having fun with our favorite people, and with all other aspects being taken care of (by me!), you are able to do just that.
The moments that I capture deserve to be displayed and treasured for years to come, so let’s not let them live on your phone! I love working with my clients to help them choose, print, and exhibit their photographs to be enjoyed for years to come.
The day has arrived! It's time to capture the magic, the mess, and all the love in between. The outfits have been picked and the location set, your job now is to relax and enjoy your session, seriously! And don’t worry, tantrums and tears are OK; kids will be kids (remember, I’m a mama too, I GET IT!)! The more you are able to relax, have fun, and smile (even if the kids are being rambunctious!), the more you will love your photos, I promise.
I want to learn all about you! Where'd you come from? How did you fall in love? What happened to your heart when those babies arrived? What motivates and inspires you? Does your family love to ski or surf? Do you enjoy evening bike rides? I want you to look at your photos and see YOU, so let’s get to know each other so the moments I capture can be as authentic and real as possible. We’ll schedule a Facetime call, answer all and any questions, secure a date, and start planning your custom session!
Three to four week after our session, you’ll receive an online gallery to view your photos. Upon selecting your favorites, they’ll be sent to the lab to be printed using the true, photographic wet process, one that pays homage to traditional darkroom printing. Your photographs, true works of art, are printed on only the finest premium paper. I’m happy to help with everything from selecting which prints to proceed with, to navigating the often cumbersome world of framing and displaying.
"She somehow made the mundane look breathtaking. Our images are full of emotion."
"Kristin makes you feel like you’re long time BFFs and creates such a fun environment for you and your family."
" 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."
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.
This was by far the best experience I have ever had with a photographer. From helping with outfits, location, expectations, the actual photos…you are truly talented and amazing at what you do! I feel like I have known you forever, and I think that is what makes you so good at your craft… you know how to make everyone comfortable and are so personable.
"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."
