Oregon wedding and storytelling portrait photographer

"Highly recommend! Kris was our wedding photographer took pictures for our ceremony day and for a "Trash the Dress" session. I have never had a photographer so involved in ensuring that every shot has purpose. We never had to think much on how we should pose or what expressions to make because she coordinates all the shots beforehand.

She even gave us suggestions for our dinner venue and accompanied us to take additional pictures after the wedding. A very professional approach to her work with room to work with her clients to get their inputs for the shots they want.

I will looking back on these photos for years to come and she creates a lasting memory for any event you wish to capture. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!"

kind words from you

"Our experience with Kris, from beginning to wedding day to delivered photos, was truly sublime. She is an incredibly talented wedding photographer, planner, coordinator, and moral support rockstar all in one. The same care and expertise she puts into her photography, she puts into every aspect of her business, every interaction with couples.

Kris far surpassed even our wildest expectations as a photographer, and we are so grateful for it. She made what could have been a stressful experience so easy and so joyful.

Kris took the time to get to know my husband and I as a couple, she took every note and sketch and idea we had for our day, listened to our “why,” and shared in our vision and goals for our day to make sure she captured it perfectly."

"Kristie is the only we go to for photos! She did our elopement and a year and a half later, our maternity shoot! She’s flexible and makes sure to work with you to ensure you get the best experience and results out of the time you spend together. Not to mention how amazing her photos are! I cry every time I get the final pictures.

She’s incredibly personable, makes you feel relaxed and honestly, it doesn’t even feel like you’re standing in front of a camera! Even my camera shy husband is a natural when we’re in front of her lens. She’s the only one we trust to capture our once in a life time memories."

"Kris is such an amazing photographer with a beautiful soul! She was the perfect person for our wedding day!

During our consultation, we connected immediately. We talked through some ideas and she was able to bring our vision to life. It was effortless working with her. My husband and I are not the best at taking pictures but, with her direction, she was able to capture us so beautifully. We get so many compliments on how great our photos are. If you choose to go with Kris, you WILL NOT regret it."

"Kris is an amazing photographer and comfortable to work with! But not only that, she made our wedding planning an easy experience since we only had so little time to prepare by giving us sugggestions. It almost felt like she was our wedding planner. On the day of our wedding, I give so much credit! She was on it and organized due to the amount of people we had. I am so glad you were a big part on our wedding day! Photos were amazing as well! I love her edits! Would highly recommend booking her! Thank you Kris!"

"Such an amazing experience. Kris is a true professional who knew how to get the best out of us on our wedding day. She directed the show with grace and made sure everyone was where they were supposed to be to get the perfect shot. She also genuinely cared about us as a person and couple, and not just another client. Would definitely recommend Kris for anyone getting married in the future."

I take allyship seriously.
Inclusivity is not only part of
my brand but my identity.

I was born and raised in Hawaii, though every road has led me to finding my forever home in Oregon. As a photographer, my greatest joy is in capturing lovers and families—human connection. I am so privileged to have captured so many milestones for so many incredible humans and stories, and I’m stoked to keep going!

As your forever ally and friend first and foremost, I strive to contribute in promoting diversity and equality in my work. I will do my all to ensure my creative process occurs in spaces of safety, respect and love.

Acceptance is not trendy; it is necessary. However you identify, I stand with you.

because our lives are made up of so much more than just one singular  moment or event.

Hi, I'm Kris! I believe in being your storyteller on more than one occasion.

She made it a story each time, the photos told so much in such a simple post. We did our shoot with her and I cried to my husband on the way back to the hotel because I wanted Kris to continue to photograph us for every event. Some people study to be good photographers, but people like Kris are born for it.
