Fueled by connection and the love of real moments

Lifestyle Family Photography

for fun-loving, adventurous souls

Most families dislike being in front of the camera and often stress about the behavior of the kiddos on picture day, and that’s ok!

Kristen offers families an easy and comfortable photo experience providing an impactful photo gallery of connective, natural and authentic photos while still getting those precise family portraits, preserving real moments and milestones now and for future generations.

A worthy investment for things that matter most

I cherish the realness of families and kids and preserving these moments is incredibly important. I used to be extra critical of myself and my work, but as I look back on these family sessions that I’ve had the honor of capturing over the years I realize what a gift and treasure they truly are - a snapshot in time of things that matter most. So, I am reopening my books to family sessions July thru September (potentially into October) of 2024.

Choosing a family photography session is an investment.
One that preserves these fleeting moments that can be cherished in the years and lifetimes that follow. They are a lasting representation of these precious times.

Let’s preserve your overflowing love and the chaos that comes with life’s greatest blessings.

Sessions starting at $395*

*Due to the rising cost of programs and service fees to provide the level of quality and professionalism I do, I unfortunately have to raise my portrait prices in 2024

Fueled by connection and authenticity, Kristen creates a comfortable photo experience with a healthy dose of shenanigans to get those real, loving moments.

Lizzy Klinger - Family Photo Session

I cannot thank or recommend Kristen enough! We had a major snowstorm before our shoot that almost made it impossible. Kristen literally hiked 1/2 mile through a foot of snow on our unplowed street to make it happen. She has an adventurous spirit, a warm presence, and is the right combination of professional and casual. She makes everyone feel comfortable and is great with kids. I love the natural and bright aesthetic, lighting, and colors of our pictures and I know we will cherish them forever!

Kristen’s family sessions are the perfect balance of those perfectly posed images and some spontaneity for a fun-loving experience for all those involved. Images are delivered approximately 4 weeks after the session via online gallery followed by a USB delivery.

Joe Hendrickx - Extended Family Photo Session

Kristen did an amazing shoot of our whole family: the 2 grandparents, their 5 married children, and all 18 grandkids (ages 6 and under). With all the chaos I expected, Kristen was great, even with (and especially with!) the little kids. I was thrilled with how efficiently she got the work done, and even more thrilled when I saw how the pictures turned out.Highly recommend getting in touch with Kristen the next time you need a great photographer!

Kristen’s background in art and passion for realness provides clients with high-quality, natural imagery capturing the authenticity of each family.
