Hey, Kristin here!

My journey with photography has been a rollercoaster of self-doubt and determination. Since I was little, photography has been my dream (reference photo: right)— but I always struggled a lot with believing that I could do this. Seeing others succeed would make me feel like I was always playing catch-up. Every couple of years, I’d return to photography—I kept starting over, pushing through my doubts.

My personal entrepreneurial journey has pointed my photography towards embracing strength and vulnerability. I wanted to create a nurturing environment where people could feel empowered and confident in the personal and the professional, with a distinctive emphasis on feminine strength.

It’s not just about snapping pics; it’s about capturing moments that say, “Hey, you’re amazing, capable and valid, just as you are.” It’s about capturing moments that affirm your worth, celebrate your journey, and empower you to embrace your story.

I am so privileged to play a part in showcasing your innate beauty to the world. Let’s capture your story together, and show the world the incredible person you are! Whether it’s through the unguarded laughter in a brand shoot, or the delicate play of light on a curve in a boudoir shoot. Every image has the power to heal wounds, ignite self-love, and write— or even rewrite— our own stories.

Ultimately, I want us to have a blast creating meaningful and vulnerable work together. Let’s have fun while boosting your confidence and showcasing your true self through photography. Because everyone deserves to feel empowered and beautiful, and I’m here to capture that for you!

A little about me…

  • I backpacked through Central and South America and Portugal for a year after lockdown.

  • I was an admissions tour guide at Santa Clara University -- Go Broncos!

  • My partner and I lived in Chicago for a summer. Friday Swim Club was my favorite activity!

  • El Camino de Santiago: Walked the Portuguese Way solo, but didn't reach Santiago alone.

  • After college, I drove my Prius from San Diego, to Halifax, and back over the course of 3 months.

  • I've run the Golden Gate Half Marathon twice-- running helps me re-ground year over year.

  • I love to go out dancing!

I’d love to connect and chat about your creative needs. Lets get in touch!
