Family sessions can be quite the undertaking to organize for parents. Getting the perfect outfits coordinated, stressing over getting everyone ready and to the session on time and happy...you're exhausted before the session begins.
Relax! Once you are in my hands prepare to have fun and just enjoy your family! Even the most reluctant participants can't resist having fun at my sessions.
I pride myself on being able to build excellence rapport with children from energetic to shy. My goal is to create photos that let their true personalities shine through, no matter how silly I need to get.
I also feel it is so important to photograph not only the whole family & children, but parents too. So often parents get so caught up being parents, they forget about being a couple. So kids be ready to look away when I have your parents get cozy!
Trust me, as a mom myself, I know we stress over having that perfect everyone looking at the camera mantle photo (and I will get you that), but I assure you some of your favorite images are going to be the ones that show true life. Laughing & snuggling together and yes, even the pouting crying children photos. You will treasure those real life moments over the perfectly posed ones in the years to come...I promise!

"Kristel has done several family photo shoots for us and we absolutely love both her and her work. Kristel's approach captures both staged and candid moments which is exactly what we love. In person, Kristel is really kind and friendly, and our boys are very comfortable around her (maybe a little too comfortable). We have had so many wonderful experiences and photos. I couldn’t recommend Kristel more!”"

"Kristel has been capturing the important moments in our lives since the birth of our first child. Each and every time we have had fun at our sessions, and been incredibly impressed with the resulting photos! Kristel has big heart and an amazing eye. She is somehow able to get beautiful and fun shots of babies, uncooperative toddlers and shy kids. We feel so blessed to have all the photos she has taken for our family, and look forward to our next opportunity we have to work with her."

"Kristel has been photographing our daughter since she was just days old. The images and moments she created and captured of our little one were pure magic. And, she deftly wove together images with us as parents and with the siblings together. Now that she’s four years old, our daughter looks forward to her yearly photos with “Miss Kristel” and the fun they have together, Kristel has captured her spark and spirit in a way that allows us to forever remember those precious moments of childhood."
