Meet the Photographer
Hi, I'm Kristy
Chaser of light, lover of life, born to create.
Kidding, kidding, totally kidding.
I'm just me. Plain, old, me.
Boy mom (well, man mom now), cat mom (RIP Buddy), and dog mom. Buried somewhere between my sarcastic sense of humor and scattered brain, I truly believe there is beauty everywhere— especially in the everyday.
Years ago, I realized I see the world in pictures. The way sunlight falls just right int he corner of my living room, a baby’s hand wrapped around mama’s finger, the wind in someone’s hair, or even a chair tipped over in the yard — these fleeting details all speak, but without words. And if you listen, you will find they tell a story.
Based in Southern Maine, I'm a storyteller who specializes in portrait, lifestyle, and documentary-style photography that embraces natural light and authentic connection. I work with high school seniors, families, professionals, couples, and wedding clients to create timeless, emotion-filled imagery that reflects who you truly are.
Whether you’re celebrating a graduation, welcoming a new family member, planning an intimate elopement, or simply soaking in an ordinary day filled with love — I’m here to document it.
The big days, the small days, the endless sunsets, and the quiet expressions of love found among couples, families, and friends all deserve to be remembered.
Let's embrace real life, imperfect moments, and the messiness that comes with it all. Let me show you that this is exactly where the beauty lives.
The more I follow this path, the more my work feels like my voice. It's how I share the deepest parts of myself, and iif you'd like, you can find more of my journey on my blog, where I share the stories behind my work, the moments that move me, and the lessons photography teaches me.

My approach
I believe the most powerful photos come from moments that are real, raw, honest, and deeply felt. My approach is simple; I show up with curiosity, care, and a lot of energy (and usually too much coffee). I’ll probably be chewing gum (it helps me focus), dressed in cutoffs and a T-shirt because somehow I always end up getting dirty. I will speak in half-sentences because I get so excited about what I’m seeing that putting together a full sentence is impossible. Chances are you’ll hear me sing “I wish I was a little bit taller” as I reach for a better angle. You’ll see me trip, or forget what I was just doing — or what I was talking about. I laugh at myself often — not just because I’m awkward, but because it helps you relax the moment you realize I’m not “Vogue perfect” either. I’m just me. Imperfect, a little messy, but fully present, with a way-too-busy mind and an eye for the beauty real life offers us.
I invite you to just show up, take a deep breath, and simply be yourself. No forced poses. No fake smiles. But the beauty of a Maine sunset, with a dash of connection, a sprinkle of emotion, and the story unfolding in front of us — and if you can match my level of awkward, we’ll be in for one heck of an evening.
It doesn’t matter if we’re capturing the chaos and tenderness of family life, the quiet confidence of a senior stepping into what’s next, or the love between two people building a life together — my goal is always the same: follow the love, find the moments.
No matter the session, there is always love. Sometimes loud, sometimes quiet, and when we tune into it, that’s where the magic happens. That’s when the real, honest moments unfold.
You know — the ones worth remembering.
I pour everything I have into every session.
Emotionally, physically, and mentally. It’s an 11/10 every time (maybe a 12/10 if I have three coffees that day!), and when it’s over, I’m drained in the best way. That’s how I know I’ve given it my all. For the time we’re together, I’m with you fully — tuned in to the love, the chaos, the quiet, and everything in between.
My style is authenticity (mine and yours). When you work with me, you can expect earthy tones, emotive storytelling, and images that feel like you — honest, imperfect, and true to who you are.
Let’s work together
