About

While some photographers use man made props, I love utilizing the space around people more to help focus in on the person/business. I have a Bachelor's degree in Psychology, and I place a lot of importance in my relationship with people to help make those magical moments mean more! I once had an event planner tell me that when it comes to the events, its the emotions and the people... I couldn't agree more! I love being able to show people the beauty in themselves, and watching new artists and business owners see their work from a different point of view. Photography is a social art, and I love the people aspect of my job!

Kristine was the PERFECT choice to capture my proposal and a follow-up engagement shoot. She was extremely responsive and communicative and made organizing such a breeze. When it came to the shots themselves, she made it a really fun, relaxed, and enjoyable experience. She helped us pose throughout the shoot, straightened the ring, floofed hair - she clearly cared about the details and my fiancé and I really appreciated it. In the end, we got the photos back quickly and loved how they turned out. I am so thankful that I found Kristine, she made the whole proposal weekend more special, and we are so thrilled to have these beautiful pictures to keep forever. Kristine is amazing - book her now!

Details: Couples portrait • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Outdoors • Digital or online download • My home, venue, etc.

FAQs

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The most important part of my process is the series of conversations we have before your event or photo session. I want to take the time to get to know you, and get an idea of your vision!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am currently enrolled with the New York Institute of Photography. They are nationally accredited, and once I graduate, I will have professional certification in photography to go with my Bachelor's in Psychology.
