These sessions are a way to hold on to what’s real—
the connection, the chaos, the comfort of this season.
But they’re not just for you.
They’re for your children, too.
So they can see the way you laughed with them.
So they can feel the warmth of home.
So they never have to wonder how deeply they were loved.
These photographs aren’t just for right now—
they’re for someday.
They’ll become part of your family’s story.
A thread in their memory.
Proof that they were known, held, and cherished—just as they were.
Because the most meaningful memories show up
when you let go of expectations
and allow yourselves to be seen—just as you are.

Your Whole Heart
Kristine has a magical way with the kids that could only be described as an art. Right now, these photos are for me, to document these fleeting, precious years of innocence. But one day they may be for them too."

"We absolutely loved working with Kristine! She made the process so easy and the whole session was so laid back. She was very patient with my two girls and they took to her right away. This was our first in-home session and we will definitely be back for more. These pictures tell the story of our lives. I can hear my daughter’s giggles through these pictures and I love that they incorporate some of her favorite things! We will treasure them forever!"

"This was such an amazing experience with Kristine!! Being in our own home made the session so laid back and comfortable!! I feel like we were all full of laughter the whole time! She was absolutely wonderful with my kiddos! They took to her instantly!! Would recommend an in-home session with her to everyone! Not to mention her editing skills are beautiful!"

"Kristine has such an amazing talent. She goes above and beyond in her work and throughout it all, she makes sure everyone is having a good time. Her work is like no other. She is more focused on the "real" and less on the posed photoshoots, which is why there is so much life in her photos. Her personality makes you feel like you've known her for years."
