I am TICKLED that you are here & thinking about working with me!
I think it’s so important to feel comfortable & know who exactly it is that you are trusting to capture this moment in your life…
so here’s a little bit about me!
Hi, I’m Kristin! I’m married to my best friend, Alex, and so far our family includes our two golden retrievers, Dug and Honey, who keep life equal parts sweet and chaotic.
I grew up in a small town in Iowa, but since high school I’ve lived all over the U.S.—HI, WA, UT, TX, FL, IA, and IL—collecting memories, friends, and a deep love for travel (bonus points if it includes sunshine, mountains, or the beach).
By trade, I’m a child life specialist and recreation therapist, passionate about walking alongside kids and families through some of the hardest seasons of their lives.
It’s meaningful work that grounds me, and it’s also why photography feels so important — I know firsthand how valuable it is to hold onto moments that matter.
When I’m not working or photographing, you can probably find me licking the brownie batter bowl (the whole reason I make them, let’s be honest), hiking mountains, reading a good book, working out with my bestie, or paddleboarding—basically anything that gets me outside and soaking up sunshine.
I love cheering on the Iowa Hawkeyes, going to concerts, traveling with Alex (we eloped in Italy, so Italian wine holds a special place in my heart), FaceTiming my family, or cozying up on the couch with my love & the pups to binge a good show.
At the end of the day, I’m just a big-hearted nerd
who loves people,
believes in savoring the little things,
& feels wildly grateful that I get to use photography
