Hey there,

I'm Kristle. Pronounced Crystal, often mispronounced Kristy.

I'm a wife, mama to a baby boy (after two years of infertility), and Early Childhood Educator (that gives me a few tricks when working with your kiddos).

Want to know more?

1. I'm usually an introvert, but I'm a totally different person when I get behind the camera.

2. I'm 35, but I look about 25.

3. I live in flip flops. Even in the winter.

4. Chocolate peanut butter is life.

5. I started photography after my first engagement ended. I used some of the money saved for the wedding for a camera. When I got it, I didn't even know how to put the lens on.

6. I'm sarcastic. Very very sarcastic.

7. I used to say I didn't have a creative bone in my body.

8. I will watch Friends on repeat until the day I die.

9. I was single for about 10 years and have some online dating stories for the BOOKS. But then I met my husband and fell in love...by breaking my foot.

10. I'm a little crunchy. But I also eat McDonalds.

What I believe…

What does that mean? I believe children flourish when they’re loved on, given space to lead, and given opportunity to express themselves.

I believe family comes first.

I believe home is where some of our most important memories are made (not some random field *I said what I said*)

I belIEve YOU LOVE YOUR CHILDREN FIERCELY AND THAT PICTURES WILL BE ALL YOU AND THEM AND I HAVE ONE DAY.

I BELIEVE ALL YOU truly WANT IS TO CAPTURE THE CONNECTION YOU HAVE NOW WITH YOUR LITTLE PEOPLE, IN THE LIMITED TIME WE HAVE WITH THEM.

The way I document families is influenced by my values and beliefs.

Sound like you too?

sessions starting at $400

  • Kristle was amazing to work with from start to finish! She had great communication and we felt prepared going into the session. She took the time to ask about us and what our goals for our session were! Our experience at our session was also great, she was super friendly, fun, and approachable. It was really fun for the kiddos - they mostly got to play and have fun! After the session her communication was great again and we had our photos back quickly. The gallery is so beautiful, a wonderful mix of candid and posed photos! Overall, Kristle was so fun to work with and we’ll look back at our photos with fond memories since the experience was so great! - Brittany M.

  • I don’t think I can fully put into words how much our experience meant to my family. Kristle was friendly, professional, kind, and caring. She really captured the kind of photos we were looking to get. We are not very experienced in front of a camera but Kristle made us feel comfortable and helped guide us with poses. Our pictures turned out so beautiful and we will be booking again in the future. So happy we found such an amazing person to capture our family. - Sarah G.

  • As a photographer for over 15 years, I have high expectations when choosing a photographer for my own family. Kristle has continuously surpassed my expectations, providing beautiful images for my family to treasure for a lifetime. I have worked alongside her professionally as well and she always brings her absolute best to every shoot. You will not be disappointed if you choose Kristle for your newborn or family photos! - Arica K.

  • Kristle did an amazing job at capturing our family. Even with a fussy baby she was great at getting the kids to smile and just be themselves. - Rachel H.

  • I can personally vouch for Kristle’s awesomeness! I’m still in awe of our pictures and can’t figure out how she managed to get half of what she did, knowing the sheer chaos that was our house that day! 🥴😂 and she is AMAZING with kids!!! Settled our super gassy/fussy newborn in no time and my ultra shy toddler hasn’t stopped talking about her since she left. (I’m not sure she even said one word to her while she was here, but she evidently LOVED her. 🥰) - Deborah K.
