Hi I’m Kristen!
My story
Seven years ago I became a mother for the first time and sixteen months later, for the second time. Motherhood had completely consumed every second of my life and I knew I needed some kind of outlet or hobby to help me maintain my sanity! That’s when I picked up a camera. I figured it was a hobby I could involve the kids in but more importantly, it was a way to capture those special moments I had absolutely no time to savour, as two under two were keeping me on my toes!
While my babies napped (that afternoon nap was bliss!) I learnt photography online with the most supportive community at Click Love Grow. My skills improved and friends started to ask me to capture photos of their own kiddies. Slowly but surely my business started to take off and I was able to quit my day job and become a full time photographer.
Fast forward six years, I have now been an instructor at Click Love Grow, I have photographed hundreds of families and I have a thriving business which I love.
My approach
With five years of experience in photography, I have developed a relaxed and fun approach to photoshoots. I believe the best moments happen naturally when you’re comfortable and enjoying yourself. So, expect a laid-back atmosphere where we can capture genuine smiles and heartfelt connections.
I am all about showcasing the real essence of people and telling your unique story in the most authentic way possible. There won’t be any posing, only prompting and you don’t even need to look at the camera.
As a mother, and an experienced photographer nothing phases me. I work with your children and their own individual personalities to capture their photos in a way that is fun for them.
