"Each time we receive the photos tears come to my eyes! She captures the real moments that you never want to forget. I recommend Kristen to all of our family and friends!" -Meghan M.

"Family photos can be stressful and chaotic with small children, BUT Kristen has a special ability to put everyone at ease."
-Great D.

Unlike most all-inclusive photography packages that leave you with hundreds of digital files to sift through and print on your own, I offer what I like to call an everything-you-need session.

Instead of paying one flat rate for your photoshoot, digital gallery, and being left to print photos and albums on your own, I take my client experience a step further by culling your images to 25-40 of the best of the BEST. Then, you choose the images you love the most to have printed!

This way, you can actually put your photos on display for ALL to enjoy, rather than having them live within the confines of your digital gallery for weeks, months, or maybe even years at a time.

It’s more than just a photography session. From portrait session to prints in your hands in just 4 weeks!

I LIKE THE SOUND OF THAT!
I'M READY TO BOOK.

Family Sessions: Booking late spring is best so you don’t have the “fall freakout” of trying to book a session last-minute.
Newborn Sessions: Book as early as your first trimester, securing a date 7–14 days after your due date.
First-Year Collection: Book as early as twenty weeks, so you can have plenty of time for Baby Bump Sessions, if you’d like!

As soon as possible

No, your session fee is separate from your collection. The session fee simply covers your time booked with Kristen for your actual session, whereas the collection covers the cost of your final images, as well as a credit toward getting your images printed in the format of your choosing!

No, your digital files are not covered in the session fee. Once your custom slideshow of 40–50 images is sent to you after your session, you will have 24 hours to choose your final collection of images. These images will be the ones that you and your family love the most and will be most excited to have printed for frames on your wall, for a physical photo album, or other products available inside my online gallery store.
