Hello, I'm Kirsten
Wedding/lifestyle Photographer
I’m a photographer who loves capturing life’s special moments. I’m also an elementary education major at Drury University, and I enjoy combining creativity with learning in everything I do.
I grew up on a farm, which taught me the value of hard work and finding joy in the simple things. I had a rough childhood, which made me into who I am today. I love helping others and believe in the power of laughter and connection.
I’m passionate about travel and love finding new places and cultures to inspire my work. When I’m not taking photos, I’m either planning my next trip or spending time with my husband, as I’m recently married and excited for the future!
Throughout my life, I’ve experienced the grace and strength of God. I give all the glory to Him for the talent I’ve been blessed with, especially in photography. God has brought me through some difficult times, and I truly believe it’s his guidance and love that have helped me get to where I am today.
Thank you for stopping by my website. I’d love to work with you and capture something beautiful together!
My approach
When working with and photographing clients, my approach is all about making them feel comfortable and confident. I focus on building a genuine connection, giving gentle direction, and creating a relaxed atmosphere so their true personality can shine through. My goal is to capture natural, authentic moments while also making the experience enjoyable and stress-free. I understand that not every session will be exactly what I expect. Sometimes that is weather, a family emergency that came up, or anything in between. I care about you and give you back memories you will look back on and appreciate.
The process
Contact me
You can contact me via email, my booking site, or even through my Instagram messages! We can talk, and you can tell me exactly what you want from a session.
Secure your date
After we discuss all the details, I will send you a booking link to pick from one of the many packages and sessions I offer. All of my sessions are an hour before sunset. If you have a conflict with the time or dates that I have open, message me, and I can try to work you in somewhere!
Deposit and COntract
The deposit is a small portion of your session fee—it goes toward your total cost and also protects my time if you cancel last minute or don’t show. The contract ensures my photos aren’t altered or misrepresented and includes other protections for both you and me, which you can review before signing.
show up
Please arrive on time for your session, or let me know if you’re running late. After the shoot, the remaining balance is due. You’ll receive your gallery within 1–2 weeks. I occasionally send sneak peeks, but since my turnaround is quick, they’re not always guaranteed.
