I have always loved creating. My journey with photography began with a point-and-shoot camera in 3rd grade and took off when I studied Visual Communications at the University of South Carolina (go gamecocks!). During those years, my creative work focused largely on documentary film and photojournalism. To this day, I seek to infuse a storytelling approach to the way I capture images.

Since moving back to VA, I've come alongside dozens of couples, families, and organizations to capture their milestone moments. I hope yours might be next!

Hi! I'm Kristin.

WANT TO BE FRIENDS? SAME.

Connection over perfection.

Your unique story often comes out in the in-between moments: the laughter, the tender embraces, the real, unfiltered love.

I embrace the imperfect and in-between because I’ve seen - over and over again - that’s where the truest and most beautiful stories live.

We're not in a hurry.

Living in Northern VA, life moves fast. But I want your photo session to feel like a long, deep breath in. A counter-cultural break in the hustle and hurry of daily life. No rush. No hurry. No panic. Just presence.

For my portrait sessions, I've intentionally crafted packages that allow for ample time for us to capture variety and real connection.

For events and weddings, we'll work together on the timeline and logistics to ensure plenty of buffer time while still keeping a natural flow to the day.

No two sessions are the same, and I love that! If something isn’t working, we don’t stress—we adjust.

Some of the most stunning, artful images happen when we lean into the moment and work with what is, not what “should” be - in a way that still aligns with your goals and vision.

Adaptability is part of the art.

Whether you're stepping into your new marriage or a small-business owner starting up and pursuing your dream, I’m here to be a friend and advocate cheering you on.

I’d love to know how I can help support you far beyond our time taking photos together!

Cheering you on. Always.

I believe that beautiful, meaningful photography should never feel out of reach, especially for financial reasons.

For this reason, each quarter I gift a free or deeply discounted session to a deserving family, organization, or community event. 

Want to help me spread the love? Join my newsletter to hear about upcoming opportunities and nominate someone who could be blessed by the gift of photography.

Pay it forward.

"...and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”  Acts 20:35
