Hey, there! Thanks for stopping by my 'lil blog.
I'm Kristen with an "e." I grew up in an idyllic California beach town, gained a degree--and a husband--in Arizona, called London--then Minnesota--home, and I am now raising three pint-size blessings in a place no one ever expects to end up but is secretly glad that they did--Las Vegas.
I'm nostalgic and sentimental, but never in an over-the-top girly way (though I sometimes wish I could live in an Anthropologie store). I like love coffee, the smell of bookstores, and being barefoot. I'm a Mac, not a PC, and you can always find me looking for the next hill to climb.
Like right now.
I'm building this new little business in part because I have loved photography ever since I was old enough to fill out one of those photo processing envelops at the grocery store. I've never been able to outrun the passion that drove me--week after week--to ride my bike down to that Vons photo kiosk, fill out my name and address on anywhere from two to 10 envelops at time, and check, "Yes, I would like doubles, please."
So that's part of it. And then there's the matter of me flat-out loving being able to show my clients a side of themselves they may not have noticed before, in places they may not have expected to find themselves in. Because when you strip away the denim and white t-shirts and step out of a studio and into places where God's light dwells, there's art there. And in between posing and smiling there are glances and nuances so tender and sincere that they reveal the true heart of the moment, the couple, the family...and those are the things I'm after; the things we sometimes overlook until someone else puts them in a frame.
That is my job.
That is my hope.
That is my promise to you.
The art of you...framed by me.
So whaddya say? You want in? Then contact me and we'll have a blast!
