About

Hey, I'm Kristin! I'm so excited to hopefully work with you!

I'm a Michigan native who's been happily residing on the Central Coast of California since 2014 (with a brief stint in Michigan to spend some time with family). Monterey is home. I thrive in the sun. (Seriously, I might be solar powered.) I started out photographing nature; I love being outdoors and exploring. I photographed my first engagement session over eight years ago and realized I loved photographing people even more.

There is nothing better than capturing the love, joy, and connection between couples and families. It’s incredibly fulfilling for me. One of my favorite activities as a kid was looking through my parents’ old photo albums of their travels. Photos allow you to document and re-live moments in life---big, small, messy, and everything in between. Because that's what life is made of, right? I want to remember it all, and honestly, sometimes I have a terrible memory, so photos are everything!

When I don’t have a camera in my hand, you can find me hiking around Big Sur, wine tasting, checking out a new brewery, or soaking up some sun (or fog) at the beach with my husband and two daughters (pictured below).

Think we'd be a good fit? Shoot me an email, I'd love to get to know you!
