Love & laughter from start to finish
The Tomlin family
The Pierceall family
The Jackson Family
Nipper wildlife sanctuary
Jackson's
The Jackson family session was full of laughter, fun, character, and sweetness. The youngest of their crew was full of spunk and enjoyed exploring the gorgeous setting that the wildlife sanctuary has to offer. This location is nestled right outside of Springfield and offers families a fun and beautiful experience.
The Clark property
pierceall's
The Pierceall family session included not only a sweet family who's love and bond for each other was evident but also the love they have for their very adorable fur baby. Plenty of laughter was had while we explored the gorgeous Clark property and tried to get the star of the family to a break from following her nose.
Summer fun at home
Tomlin's
This session included classic trucks, fantastic people, laughter, and a very cool 100 year old couch all located on her family's beautiful property. The Clark property has been in their family for over 100 years so it made this session that much sweeter.
sweet • moments • captured
Family sessions with me are more than a quick smile-for-the-camera moment - they're about connection, comfort, and capturing what makes your people yours.
Whether that looks like chasing giggles, snuggling close, or letting your personalities shine - I'm here for it. I take the time to get to know you, tailor the session to what matters most, and make sure there's plenty of laughter along the way.
I believe joy is a gift worth documenting, and that the love within a family is one of God's sweetest blessings. If you're easygoing, love to have fun, and want to remember how this season felt, not just how it looked.....we're probably a great fit. I'd be honored to tell your story.
Every session is built on care, connection, and whole lot of joy. Here's how it flows:
Booking
Once your date is set, I'll send over your family session prep guide which includes great information to help you feel ready and excited.
Session Day
We'll keep things relaxed and fun - no stiff poses here! I'll guide you gently and make sure you feel comfortable and confident.
Sneak Peeks + Gallery
You'll get a few favorites soon after our time together (because waiting is hard!), followed by your full gallery, a thank-you note, and gift to wrap it all up.
Every part of the process is thoughtfully tailored to you - so your experience feels personal and your photos feel like you.
families from $225
I believe family photos should reflect real life - messy, beautiful, and full of feeling. Whether your little one's belly laughing, clinging tight, or just done for the day, I'm here for it.
Through every emotion, I'll show up with grace and patience - because I believe these every day moments are a gift from God, even when they don't feel picture perfect.

Documenting your family's Story
Through Every Emotion
Your family's story is unfolding in quiet, beautiful ways - through the little routines, loud laughs, tight hugs, and the way you do life together.
My job? To document that story with honesty and heart, so you can hold onto the season you're in and remember the goodness god is writing in it.
These aren't just photos for today - they're little pieces of your story that will outlive the moment. I want your family to have images that feel like home. The kind your children will look back on one day and say, "That's us...that's where it all began."
Every gallery I deliver is crafted with that in mind - honest, heart felt memories that are meant to be shared, cherished, and passed down.
I have a toddler and was quite nervous if & how we would get any photos taken with her in them. Kristina worked her magic & the photos turned out to be amazing. Kristina has raw talent & it shows in the quality of her work & photos. She makes you want to smile for the photos, is encouraging, & hypes you up during the session. She made my family and I look beautiful in our photos and we are so grateful to have been a part of the experience. I highly recommend utilizing Kristina for all of your photo needs. She is truly a one of a kind photographer & you won't be disappointed. I can't thank her enough for our amazing photos & an even greater experience.
Kristina took pictures of two of my grandchildren (ages 4 months & 3 1/2 years old). She was a natural in working with both of them and was able to capture their personalities in her photos. We will be using her again as they grow and the family expands.
Kristina is an amazing person and photographer, she is incredibly talented! She is personable and has an eye for placement, lighting and creativity. We highly recommend Kristina for your photography needs, you will love your session and results!
I couldn't be happier with my headshots and family photos! The entire experience was professional, comfortable, and really fun. Kristina has an incredible eye for detail and made sure every shot captured my personality while still looking polished and professional. The final images were sharp, vibrant, and versatile. I've already received so many compliments! I highly recommend Kristina Michelle Photography to anyone looking for photos that truly stand out.
Kristina is the sweetest thing and an absolute joy to work with! She was able to wrangle 3 kids and a dog in order to capture some great shots. She is very talented and I couldn't recommend her enough!
Kristina was awesome! We had a very energetic 4-yr old that was uncontrollable yet made all the photos special! Kristina just went with it and even ecnouraged his antics and the shots she captured are just priceless. Everyone that has seen our pictures loves them and I will be recommending her to anyone looking for a photographer!
