helping you enjoy and be prepared for your photography time
Working with Krissy was a joy. From the moment we met, she immediately adapted to our family dynamic. Using her incredible intuition, she lovingly guided our exuberant toddlers (and us) and captured each of our personalities and a special time for our family in a collection of images we are so thankful to have. Throughout our engagement, Krissy was also very responsive, accommodating, and focused on making sure we received a finished product - keeping us from getting overwhelmed or dragging our feet with image selection - and that was incredibly helpful. Thank you, Krissy!

Krissy took the most beautiful photos of our family, more beautiful than I could ever have imagined or wished for. But above and beyond that, every time we look at our photos, we have such sweet memories of the entire photo shoot experience and it has become a very distinct memory that we joyfully talk about as a family. Krissy has a unique gift to work with people and children to create what becomes art in their homes.
"More beautiful than I could've imagined."

"Krissy is absolutely amazing at what she does. She quickly picks up on family dynamics and captures each story. Krissy was our photographer for several years while we lived in Maui and we were so lucky to have her capture our family during a recent vacation in beautiful Charleston. Her photos are always something I can look forward to and will treasure forever! She's so much fun and so talented.
"Her photos are always something I can look forward to"
Staci, mom
We had so much fun taking family beach photos with Krissy! We were hoping to create lasting memories of our first vacation with our 6-month old son. Krissy took amazing photos that capture his personality and tender family moments that we will forever cherish.
"Tender family moments that we will forever cherish."
Heather, mom
Motherhood is both the best and the hardest job we will ever do.
Reward yourself with family portraits that you love. The days can be long, the years can be both a gift and a thief. Whatever the season or state you're in, you need to be in the photographs with your children. And real talk, from one mom to another, you'll appreciate those photographs even more when you look great. It's a privilege to help you do both.

Like life, your photographs aren’t meant to look the same as everybody else’s. It is about your story and finding the joy there, reminding you and your family of the beauty and goodness that exists right where you are.

Krissy has photographed all the coasts of the USA you headed to Charleston, SC for vacation? There cannot be a more charming city to be photographed in. We can meet downtown, or maybe you want an area with Spanish Moss and Oaks, or one of the nearby beaches in our low-country. For over 6 years I've photographed families on vacation-- making even the photo session a wonderful vacation memory. You can have beautiful family photos while you're here in Charleston!
