Jennifer
Photographing Jennifer for her headshots was such a joy. She's not only a dear friend, but someone who carries so much light and gentleness into every room she walks into. We spent most of the session laughing between frames, and there was this easy, peaceful rhythm to our time together. Getting to reflect her warmth back to her through these images felt like such a gift - one of those sessions that reminds me why I love this work so much.

Anne-Marie
Anne-Marie is one of those people who simply glows. Full of light, love, and the kind of smile that draws you in, she's a wonderful friend and it was such a treat to photograph her. Her laughter is genuine and easy - the kind that instantly makes you feel at home. Our session felt like sunshine, full of warmth and the beauty she carries inside and out.

Claire
Claire is gentle, kind, and carries a quiet strength that's easy to miss if you're not paying attention. She's deeply devoted to her family, and it was such an honor to photograph her. Even though she's naturally more reserved, she was open and easy-going in front of the camera - gracious, steady, and so genuine. It reminded me that some of the most meaningful portraits come from the quietest hearts.

Whether you need updated headshots for your business, a creative refresh, or simply want to mark this season of who you are - I'd love to photograph you.
These sessions are relaxed, personal, and all about helping you feel at ease in front of the camera. You don't need to be a model or love being photographed - you just need to show up as yourself. I'll guide you through the whole process, and you'll also receive an image inspiration guide to help you choose what to wear (and what to skip), so you feel confident before we even begin.
We'll create images that feel true, polished, and you. Ready to get started? I can't wait to hear your story.
where laughter, authenticity, & smiles meet
Every session is built on care, connection, and a whole lot of joy. Here's how it flows:

Headshots from $125
A great headshot does more than show your face - it tells your story. It captures how you carry yourself, the warmth in your eyes, and the confidence behind your smile.
Whether you're building a brand, stepping into a new role, or just need a refresh, I'm here to help you show up with clarity, connection, and a true sense of you.
Purposeful images, professionally delivered
An Experience That feels like you
More than a headshot
Most people don't feel instantly comfortable in front of the camera - and that's okay. I'll guide you every step of the way with gentle direction and a calm, encouraging space where you can just be yourself.
If you've ever said, "I'm not photogenic" this is where we prove that wrong in the best way. Whether you're more laid-back or a little bold, we'll create images that reflect your personality - no unnatural poses here, no awkward energy, just honest confidence and connection.
These images aren't just for today - they're meant to serve your next step. Whether you're updating your website, building your brand, applying for auditions, or refreshing your professional profile picture, I'll help you create headshots that feel aligned and look professional.
You'll receive a curated gallery with high-quality digitals, ready to use wherever you need to show up confidently and with purpose.
Kristina took professional headshots for me that I have gotten endless compliments on. She made me feel comfortable throughout the entire experience. She was professional and courteous. I would highly recommend her for any/all of your photography needs!
Kristina was so enthusiastic during our session. She went out of her way to make me feel comfortable and confident! She had a vision for capturing multiple perspectives which provided me with many photo options.
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.
