​"Working with Kristen is the best! Not only does she take beautiful photos, she is so easy to work with, patient and flexible, and great with children.  She truly knows how to bring out the best in families!" Liza P.

"We had such a great experience from beginning to end working with Kristen. Setting up a day and time was very smooth, and once we were there she was great with the kids (which at least mine are very difficult to get them to look at a camera:)). She was incredibly flexible and really adjusted to my kids moods and where they were. She was very professional while personal with all of us. It made the whole experience comfortable and fun! The final product was given to us very quickly and the pictures turned out beautiful! We have them blown up on canvas up on our walls. Would highly recommend working with Kristen!"  Jen J.


Kristen is the greatest!! Amazing photos and captures the light in such creative ways.  Go to the beach if you can!  She's taken pictures of my kids in New England but splits time between there (boston-providence) and San Diego.  She engages the kids and takes lots of different candid + staged shots as you wish.  My kids love her.  I highly recommend her.  Gets photos to you quickly and does a great job at edits.  Her photos are the screen background to my computer as we speak. - Kristina M.

"Kristen has done our family pictures 2 years in a row! Last year, our session and photos were amazing!! This year, they are even more amazing than last years. She makes the process easy, fun, and everything is so caught in the moment, not staged!!! She works great with children(even stubborn ones) and somehow catches those "awwww" moments without much effort! Her editing spruces up a pictures just enough without looking overdone. Can't say enough great things and can't wait for next years session. " Kirstyn C.


"Thank you Kristen for making some beautiful life long memories for our family to treasure.  You were excellent at communicating ideas and visions over text and phone and had flexibility when working with our two kiddos. You made this a fun and positive experience. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending you to others." Claire C.
