Hi, I’m Kristel — photographer, storyteller, and occasional wrangler of awkward hands in photos.

I’m all about variety, because doing the same thing over and over? Not my style. I thrive on capturing those real, unposed family moments — the ones you’ll look back on and feel, not just see.

While I have a soft spot for shooting outdoors (hello, golden hour magic), I don’t mind cozying up in the studio when winter rolls in and frostbite becomes a real concern.

I’m also lucky to work with so many strong, beautiful, independent women in our community. Photographing their confidence, their laughter, and sometimes their willingness to stand in tall grass for “just one more shot.”

I chase emotion, I’m obsessed with a good pop of color, and I’m always up for trying something new.

Basically, if it’s creative and a little outside the box, I’m in.
