Escape the Ordinary.
We're in the business of creating art; telling your story through portraits with a cinematic and stylized flair. Based in Indiana and traveling Worldwide.
Hello Love!
I'm the weirdo behind the lens
I'm just a photographic poet; your awkward and eccentric new best friend. I am always striving for new ways to surprise myself. I love exploring. You can often find me wandering the woods, or new cities, looking for interesting locations beyond the norm.
I currently reside in the small town of Bluffton, Indiana. However, my wanderlust takes me to amazing places! I've photographed love stories across the United States and abroad. If I'm not in one of my hidden forest nooks; you can usually find me photographing in Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, or Southern Michigan (without travel fees).

I want to be immersed in your wedding with you. I'll hype you up, join you on the dance floor, and high-five you on your 25th anniversary!

The sun, the moon, and all the stars
Light gets me JAZZED. Whether golden sunset, brilliant sunrise, twilight, or moonlight; you will absolutely see me get inspired and way too excited. Light is how I create the dynamic imagery you've been gushing over all the way down the internet rabbit hole.

Frequently Asked Questions
Trust me, I am too. We always start with the most formal, stiff, cheesy pose to get the awkward out at the very beginning. I know from there how much direction you will need as we continue. I won't leave you lost in front of the lens. We are in this together! The goal is for this to feel like you are chillin' with a new friend, with art along the way.
What if I'm super awkward in front of the camera?
Bold, dramatic, with a dash of whimsy; I like to create art from your story while also capturing authentic moments and details of your wedding day experience.
What is your style?
I dove into photography about 15 years ago. After graduating with my BFA in 2012, I launched as a full-time artist. I have since photographed 250 weddings, and have been featured in several publications; including The Knot, Wedding Chicks, Bridal Guide, and the cover of WeddingDay Magazine.

"Kristen’s photos are dramatic and polished, with a heavy dose of high-fashion sensibility thrown in for good measure. They’re nothing if not eye-catching. You’ll get the best work out of Kristen by tapping into her impressive creative mind, brainstorming some out-of-the-box portrait ideas. If you’re adventurous, you’ll be blown away by what she produces.”
- Peerspace, The 11 Best Wedding Photographers in Indianapolis
"Kristen’s romantic portfolio is obviously stunning but she’s also a special kind of business owner - she’s real, passionate, talented and generous. She created the perfect mood and environment for a true introvert who traveled from Australia to get married in Michigan."
"Original, authentic, and extremely talented! Kristen is one of those photographers who goes above and beyond without being asked, and captures the most incredible images without hesitation. She's quick to jump into action with great direction, and also allows the client to soak up the moment."
