Kristen is a gifted artist and a true professional! We were visiting the area from out of state and made a special point to stay an extra day to have her photograph our young family. Even though our youngest was uncooperative and a typical toddler, she captured beautiful images that feel authentic to our current life stage and even got him smiling in some. I am so glad that we invested in her services and hope we can step in front of our lens again down the road. I can't recommend her enough!

We seriously lucked out finding Kristen to do our family portraits during our recent family trip. She responded immediately to my inquiry and took the time to ask about our family to get a feel for our personalities and preferences in advance of our session. On photo day, she remembered all the things we shared with her and she did an incredible job picking the most perfect location, timing of daylight, and getting the kids to feel comfortable infront of the camera. Our whole gallery turned out so beautifully, we had tears in our eyes when we saw our family portraits for the 1st time. Kristen is

We had the pleasure of working with Kristen on an overcast July day with occasional mist. Kristen encouraged our family during the photo shoot and brought out the best in our poses. Our 3 teenagers relaxed with her conversation and the pictures turned out very natural. She chose several different locations, and the scenery was spectacular. We are so happy to have these family photos that we will treasure throughout our lives. Well done, Kristen!

Kristen took senior portraits of our daughter while we on vacation in Telluride. They are beautiful! Kristen took the time to get to know our daughter before taking the photographs so that the images would reflect her personality. She made the process so easy by helping with wardrobe selections and talking to us about options for sites for the shoot. Kristen was very responsive to our emails and questions. I highly recommend Kristen for family or individual portraits in one of the most beautiful places on Earth!
