Samantha Maxwell - Gorgeous as always!

Daniel & Jenny. Beloved.

Jenny jotted down in response to a question that I posed: Why did you fall in love in the first place? she writes.. “Only the Lord could have done this. The love of good music and a good God drew our hearts together” These two are driven by a much greater love which makes their…

Ben & Veronique. Beloved.

Veronique is a mother of three. Her everyday consists of cloth diapers, meal planning, coupon clipping, kids crying, kids laughing, spills, lunches, reminders, housecleaning, homeschooling and surprise visits from neighbors…until the door opens at 5:45pm and Ben comes home. A  sigh of relief wafts through the house, he is home! He plays with the kids,…

Dana Haynes - I love the way you tell their story with pics (of course!) and WORDS too. So beautifully done — and such a spot on description of their sweet lives.

Sam - Love them and love the pics! Great job!

Nate & Kate. Beloved.

Nate and Kate. They rhyme. They are synced.  Spending time with Kate and Nate, it was obvious that they are constantly saying I love you. These two don’t necessarily have to use the words, although saying I love you and hearing it is melodious, rather you can see it in how they interact, in their…

Sam - I LOVE these and your last post! SOOOO great! Them kissing in the tunnel and up against the graffiti wall are AMAZING! And the b/w against the brick wall (5th pic) in your last post…love love love it! God has given you such talent and creativity, friend!

Casey Chappell - Okay…Them kissing on the bike rack or kissing in the tunnel needs to be a BIG ol’ Canvas hanging in their home!!! It’s AWESOME!!!!! What a great thing for photographers to do that we don’t do nearly as often enough… get our photos taken of us in our life with our loves!!!! You can tell they totally love each other!!! <3 Love this shoot!!

Gray & Aimee. Beloved.

She laughs and smiles like me.  She is tall and I am short. Growing up we used to turn the pages of the Sears catalog and pick out items to decorate our homes (along with picking out toys and hoping that Santa would leave them for us in December). We rode through neighborhoods and looked…

Aimee - You are amazing. The words you wrote to go along with our pictures……made them even more precious to me. I love you.

KIM - TWO of my favorite girls who have grown into beautiful women! Inside and out. Love you as if you were my own (because you are!)

Casey Chappell - amazing!!! love. love. love. What a precious tribute to your sis. :)

Mama Wuz - Kristen, I just found your blog through fb. This is an absolutely beautiful post and tribute to your sister. I know she must be so proud of you! The pictures are beautiful – just as you have always been.

“I still choose you.” Wade & Ashley

We sat across from each other at a bakery after our morning photo session exchanging stories of  life and how we all ended up where we were standing today. With each sentence Ashley spoke, Wade, sitting beside her, couldn’t take his eyes off of her. He looked captivated and peaceful as she spoke. He watched…

Matt B - I am speechless. Wow!

Drea - you are rocking these sessions kristin!!

angey price - Wowsas!!! I love this shoot!!! So hot! ;)

Veronique - uh-mazing. that’s all. simply that.

Ashley - Kristin was AMAZING! Her kindness, joy, and passion for what she does shines through so brilliantly as she works with you. She allows you to be yourself while graciously directing the photo shoot. We’ve worked with other photographers before, but have found Kristin and won’t think twice the next time we want some photos!! She is truly gifted and a beautiful person inside and out. We are completely impressed and awed by how well our pictures turned out!

Wade - K, I knew you were really really really ridiculously talented, but your work is an absolute art informed of photography. You have a real mastery of design, color, tone, depth and composition, and you’re very creative in how you employ different planes of light to bring the abstract complexity out of common frames. Thank you for doing such a great job!

Autumn - wow. unbelievable. beautiful.

Bonnie - Fabulous. So inspiring.

Raleigh my beloved.

Raleigh is a place that I truely love. It is home to me and very dear to my heart. It was in this city that I began to fall in love with architecture, grungy buildings and lines. I began noticing beauty everywhere it was all around me. It was in my Beloved Raleigh that I…
