When I saw this jasmine on the fence, I knew had to have Allie jump in it. She also jumped in a tall grassy meadow and an infinity pool during our session. She was just the best. I love when people know how to have fun and not take everything so seriously. We had a blast together and created some of my favorite maternity images ever.

Hey there, it’s me—Kristin!

I was really enjoying the “unfortunately I do love” trend, and I know it’s not a trend anymore but I think it’s fun, so here I am going against the social media algorithms per usual.

Unfortunately I do love…

Dancing through your dance floor to get the best shots on your wedding day

Shooting beyond my contracted time because I’m loving the vibes of your session

Saying no to things that don’t align with my calendar or priorities

Making my clients look good, even if it requires me to look ridiculous

Jumping in before I’m ready and figuring it out as I go

Ch*****ne with no occasion

The adrenaline rush when I solve a difficult problem

Giving my kids ice cream if it means I get 10 minutes of peace

Petting almost every dog I see

Staying up too late with friends, knowing I will pay for it the next day

Blasting Tupac while I clean the house

Asking my husband to do school drop off

When you tell me your daughter has never smiled for family photos before, I take that as my own personal challenge. I love a spicy kid, and little Emmy has the cutest smile! Obsessed with this Carmel Valley family session.

It’s extra special when I get to photograph friends. Thanks for trusting me to capture you two as you are in your element. Big Sur was showing off for us this night!

One of my most favorite maternity sessions yet! The poppies!! And Josie’s smile! She has one of those smiles that lights her up from the inside out.

I photographed these two for their engagement years ago. Such an honor to photograph them again during this special time in their lives. Congratulations guys!

Hiiii it’s me—Kristin!

Most of you probably know me by now, but if you don’t…
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m a California wedding and family lifestyle photographer based on the Central Coast. I’ve been running this wonderful business of documenting life and love since 2018, and it’s the absolute best job for me.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I love witnessing the unique beauty in every person that comes across my lens. Sometimes it feels as if I’m in on a secret that no one else knows about.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Photographing people is an intimate job, and my goal is that you always feel comfortable with me. When you choose to hire me, I can promise you this—you’re getting the real me. AI will never write my emails to you. I’m the person putting together the contracts, answering your questions about session locations, making your wedding timeline, finding the best light, tickling your toddler’s toes to get a smile, awkwardly demonstrating how I want you to sit for a photo, and making sure you feel at ease throughout it all.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I think the sun is magic, and I will always be looking for ways to use it to create feeling and variety in your photos.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When I’m not working on my business, you can likely find me wrangling my two girls, w**e tasting with friends, petting people’s dogs, hiking a trail, or soaking up some sun at the beach.

It’s Friday! Our family made it through one week of the time change…barely! I love having more daylight, but man, the mornings have been rough. There’s no way to prepare for waking your child up an hour earlier for school. Not even blasting K Pop Demon Hunters in their bedroom works.
