People
Portraits · Brands · Families
Pictures worth keeping are rarely the ones everybody looks at the camera for. They’re the little hands baking with you or the way you move in your yoga practice. I’ll capture the honest moments of you and your loved ones.
Sessions are unhurried and built around organic connection and trust. We’ll pick a location that represents you — your home, your favorite beach. Even if you’re not at ease in front of the camera, I’ll make the whole experience relaxed and even fun. You’ll see yourself in a new light once the gallery arrives.
Portraits
Since I hadn’t really done a professional shoot before, I especially appreciated how comfortable she made the whole experience feel.

We were just talking and walking around while she captured all those little in-between moments that ended up being my favorites.

What a session is like
From $000placeholder — Kirsten's rates to come
- 01
Before
A preconsultation to find out your needs. Are you looking for a rebrand photoshoot or images for your next Christmas card? It’s never one size fits all, so we will determine how we will best work together — when and where.
- 02
On the day
We’ll work with the light, having a relaxed day in one or multiple locations. Honest photos means we are walking, talking, and experiencing, rather than posing. The goal is that you forget I’m even there!
- 03
After
A gallery of finished frames within two weeks, yours to print and share. I can offer prints and canvases for U.S. based clients.
