Kris was our wedding photographer and she is an absolute joy to work with! She not only captured meaningful candid moments, but also had great ideas for setting up shots and was a pro at corralling and organizing family members for group shots. Our photos turned out beautifully thanks to Kris, and we'll be forever grateful to her!

"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/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."

"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."

"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!"

"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!"
