As a teacher with over fifteen years of experience, I have met, worked with, and collaborated with *thousands* of students and their families, fellow teachers, and administrators. Many have also gone on to become my clients! Success depends on appreciating and recognizing the perspectives, unique qualities, and strengths of others in my classroom. In fact, both photography and teaching are very much alike, in that both require authenticity, patience, humor, and perspective, which are qualities I strive bring to every session (and day in the classroom!) Kooky kids, no problem. Camera-shy partner, no problem. Grumpy in-laws, I got it. You can relax, I can roll with it and make it work!

Natural. Fun. Emotive. 

Magic.

Do you want a family session with your children and partner? Would you like to do an extended family, and get the whole tribe together? Capturing your squishy newborn, or a session focused on just your children? Is there a special milestone you’d like to commemorate, like senior year, graduation, or birthday?

These can be booked throughout the year! Additionally, be on the lookout for seasonal mini sessions, which are perfect for easy, pre-planned themes and locations. These can include tree farms, New England foliage, sunsets at the beach, and even unicorns!

Explore the type of session that best fits your vision.

Chapter two: Make it official.

I'll keep in contact with you through booking and in planning your session. At booking, you'll fill out a questionnaire to help me to get to know you and your family, and your vision for the photo session. I provide a style guide and color palettes that's seasonally appropriate, and I would love to be in touch while choosing outfits - send me pictures of what you're thinking and I will give you my feedback, as well as suggested shopping links of possible outfit selections.

Work together to plan outfits, location and vision for your session.

Chapter three: Get ready!

I encourage you to let the chaos of children and family play out - sometimes the sweetest photos are when the littles take the lead! I will be positive and will not use pressure to "get the shot" - trust me, I will get beautiful photos.

Finally, you will get an online gallery of your hand-edited pictures that makes it simple to share and download images.

Be yourselves and have fun.

the Saga

The following sessions can be booked anytime throughout the year! Also be on the lookout for seasonal mini sessions, which are perfect for easy, pre-planned themes and locations. These can include tree farms, New England foliage, sunsets at the beach, and even unicorns! I announce these magical mini sessions a couple times per year.

After realizing how relaxed photography sessions can be, you'll want to book more and more sessions, and will need to buy an extra house for more wall space for all the gorgeous pictures.

Families have missed so much time together during the pandemic. This is a PERFECT opportunity to get family together and connect.

You will get to show off how gorgeous and special your family is. Photos are meant to be shared, so share away and bask in the compliments of how beautiful you look, and how cute your pup is, and how no one can believe how big the kids have gotten.

Let me tell you why you need this...

CLIENT REVIEWS

She captured each moment of joy by fostering an atmosphere of fun, playfulness and love! She somehow had 12 people (6 kids, including 3 toddlers) laughing and playing in freezing weather! Our family will never forget this joyful experience, and we’ll forever have these incredible pictures as a reminder of this day. So grateful for her knowledge, expertise and kindness. Wholeheartedly recommend!

— Hamblin Family

"Kristen is pure magic!"

We are in LOVE with our photos and cannot wait to share them with family and friends. I really appreciate Kristen's time and talent.

— Kendall and family

"Kristen's naturalistic style is everything I love."

She's done my family's photoshoots, my son's second birthday pictures, and our new daughter's birth announcement. She is able to babies and toddlers to cooperate. She's got a great artistic eye; we aren't artistic or artsy and she always rely on her opinions. She comes up with great ideas and poses that lead to beautiful family photos.

— Jess and family

"Kristen is an amazing photographer!"

Kristen had done many sessions of family pictures, birthday shoots, and engagement photos for my family. All of our sessions have come out amazing! Even when the toddler doesn’t want to see to cooperate Kristen is able to get some of the most beautiful shots. She’s helped with everything from the best outfits to wear to the best ideas for pictures to capture memories! 

— Cyndie

"I can not recommend her enough!"

She has a knack for finding the perfect light and working quickly before anyone gets fussy. Her work with our extended family of 12 (and 2 dogs!) went flawlessly. I recommend her to everyone I know! 

— Alex

"Kristen is so good at working with kids!"
