I have lived in the Effingham, IL area my whole life. I’m a wife of 24 years and an angel mom to my daughter, Jadyn. Because of Jadyn Photography has been around for 11+ years.
I considered a photography career when I was in high school but never pursued it until many years later. I’m blessed to be able to carry on my daughter’s legacy in an impactful way.
Like many other moms, I had photographs taken of Jadyn at a chain store studio. My how times have changed. Looking back, I see the value in lifestyle photography rather than just posed images. The photographs of her real emotions and personality are far more meaningful than those of her looking and smiling at the camera.
This is why lifestyle family photography means so much to me and why I want to give this gift to other families. I am doing what I wish someone would have done for me by creating authentic, emotional, and timeless images that truly capture personality and connection.
Your Effingham, IL Family Photographer
HEY! I’M KRISTINE.
We talk about her because we’re proud.
We talk about her because she deserves to be remembered.
We talk about her because even though she’s not physically with us, she’s never far from our mind.
We talk about her because she’s part of us, a part that we could never ignore or disown.
We talk about her because we love her still, and we always will. Forever. Nothing will ever change that.
