Hello, I'm Kristen
portrait Photographer
I grew up in the NJ/NY area. I moved to central Pennsylvania for college at the end of 2006 where I attended Central Pennsylvania College . I majored in hospitality because I’ve always wanted to create special moments for people. During my internship at The Hotel Hershey, I met my husband, Ryan. We moved back to New Jersey in 2010 to pursue new career opportunities. After our son, JR, was born, we decided the Hershey area was where we wanted to raise our family. We moved back in 2013, and had two more daughters, Kayleigh and Lyla. I’ve always had an eye for photography, but I set it aside to raise my children . I had the opportunity to pursue my passion again during covid and have photographed many people over the past few years. I find it incredibly fulfilling. I believe we’re surrounded by so much beauty, not only in the scenery but also in the relationships we form. I’m honored to have photographed everything from engagements to babies and all the moments in between. I’m excited to continue this journey and hope to be a part of your special moments as well!
My approach
My approach to photography is simple and heartfelt: I focus on connection first. I want you to feel comfortable, seen, and completely yourself in front of my camera. I gently guide when needed, but I leave plenty of room for natural moments to unfold—the laughter, the quiet in-between glances, the real emotion that can’t be posed. I’m drawn to honest storytelling and timeless images that feel warm, intentional, and true to you. My goal is for your photos to not only look beautiful, but to feel like your story every time you look back on them.
Let’s work together
