Hey there! I’m Kristine
fellow Mom and new best Friend Behind the Lens
Hey there! I’m Kristine, a former teacher turned passionate photographer, and most importantly, a fellow mom. I have this uncanny ability to click with kids almost instantly—parents often ask how I do it, and honestly, I think kids just sense my genuine love for them. I tell them they look awesome, and we play, capturing their true personalities. My sessions are all about letting kids be kids, embracing the chaos, and documenting families as they are. The weirder, the better. Known for my easy rapport with kids and organized approach, I ensure every session is relaxed and enjoyable. Let’s create beautiful memories together!
get to know me
"Kristine knows just what sentimental moments to focus on. In the time since our photos were taken, my oldest has grown in his two front teeth. So happy to have keepsake photos to remember that little glimpse of that short stage of his life."

I make it my mission to win over every dad. Some dads will start out a session in a sour mood from colliding with the kids during witching hour, being exhausted from a day of work or having to skip Sunday night football. Just get him there and I'll get him to love the playful & snuggly portrait process. I’m quick, efficient and dads love me! Not to mention the finished portraits always win dads over.
HOW DO I GET MY SPOUSE TO COOPERATE?
Family sessions typically last 60 to 90 minutes. We spend a bit of time getting to know each other and then we get straight to it. I get both posed and candid photos. I chase authentic expressions. No need to “CHEESE” with me! I work hard to make my sessions feel like play and you might even forget the camera is there.
HOW LONG ARE PORTRAIT SESSIONS?
You probably will look fine. Personally, I want to see the fiercest version of yourself. I have a list of vendors I I trust to take you to natural beauty or full glam. These portraits could be up on your walls for decades! You want them to make you feel fabulous, while you're waltzing by in a messy bun and sweatpants.
I DON'T REALLY WEAR MAKEUP. BUT I'LL LOOK FINE, RIGHT?
After your session, you will receive 60+ hand edited proofs in an online gallery. Keep in mind these are just proofs, not downloadable files. You have the option to purchase all of your digitals but I love when we take the time to create family heirlooms with your images. I design wall galleries and bound albums upon request.
HOW MANY FINISHED PROOFS WILL WE GET TO SEE?
