Hey, I’m Kristin—and I’m the one behind the camera!
Photography has been my passion since I was a little girl. What started as a fun hobby for a middle schooler has became my purpose: helping people see themselves in ways they might not otherwise. For me, boudoir photography is about revealing your authentic beauty and confidence—the kind of beauty that’s hard to see from your own eyes.
So whether you’re looking for a special gift for your partner, or you’re a person reconnecting with your own power, my job is to make you feel seen, empowered, and absolutely fabulous. I’m here to create a space where you can be unapologetically yourself, and leave with images that make you feel as strong and beautiful as you are.
My approach to photography isn’t just about the photos—it’s about the experience. I want you to feel confident, comfortable, and excited from the moment you step in.
Your photos are important, but the energy and confidence you’ll feel during our session are what I want you to remember every time you see your images.
Lastly—and maybe most importantly—this work is political. The bodies of women, queer folks, trans and non-binary people, and people of color are being legislated, erased, and controlled.
Choosing to be seen on your own terms is resistance. This work is about taking up space. About saying: I exist, and I define myself. Whomever you may be.
I know this is an intimate relationship, so here is a little bit more about me personally. No need to be strangers!

In 2025 my goal is to run 4 half marathons! Running helps me re-ground year over year. Something about disassociating for 2 hours really helps the sanity!
