Hello!

I was that girl in class that was always sneaking fashion magazines into fourth period, daydreaming through lectures, figuring out how to make mix tapes long before Napster, and crafting homemade greeting cards for any and all occasions. Creative outlets have always been my distraction. There are two gifts that I distinctly remember getting as a girl, my first horse and my first hot pink camera (with a flash!). I ran right into my room, dressed up Barbie and Derek (Ken never did grow on me, I wasn't big on Blondes.) and marrying them in the quickest ceremony imaginable. I then took them outside, posed them beautifully, and went to town! This was when I first fell in love with the camera.

I spent most of my college days being the "paparazzi" of my friends. Always snapping away so that I would never forget what it felt like, to be living in the big city, dancing and feeling good, with three of my best friends. I wanted to capture it and keep it forever.

My mother is my muse. She started photographing before the digital camera came out and would occasionally let me dabble with her beloved tool. I was instantly in love! The way I can discover different angles, capture a candid moment, the way it felt. Needless to say, it wasn't long before I adopted my mother's camera and bought one of my own. I was hooked.

Pretty soon people are asking me to do maternity shoots, weddings, babies, engagements, and even boudoir. I was busy, busy with my new hobby. Then I met my next love, my MAC. Photoshop, iphoto, aperture, Oh, MY!

I have decided to turn my hobby into my work. I love it. I truly do. I hope that you will enjoy my latest endeavors as much as I enjoy sharing them with you. Feel free to comment... or even book a shoot! Love to all. -Kristen
