About Kristin

Hi! I'm Kristin, and I conduct most of my business discussions from my front porch. In compiling random pieces of information about myself, I found some common threads: I’ve been described as the calming-therapist-like-sister-you-never-had, was voted “nicest person” by my high school senior class, and most recently was dubbed “sweet ’n dangerous” by Study Abroad Workshops Portugal.  I’m a hugger, lover, awkward dancer, laugh-in-the-face-of-danger kind of gal. I have boarded 39 airplanes in the last 6 months, photographed close to 200 weddings in the last 10 or so years, have grown a small human in my body (now he’s 3), and I sometimes go to the gym just to take a 45 minute shower by myself. (More...)

How are you staying inspired this year? I asked that to the group of photographers I mentor- going on random adventures, saying “yes” to all things spontaneous, planning shoots for themselves, traveling, going on regular walks and finding inspiration in nature... there were some great answers and it’s a reminder of how important it is to find small and big ways to stay inspired creatively. . What are some of the ways you stay inspired? . @studyabroadworkshops
There’s something amazing and mysterious about this time of year. Like legit- people fall in love, babies get made (heyo), and engagement rings start popping up in the feed like a diamond commercial. Not sure why it all seems to happen in February... but.... congrats to everyone who has some amazing news to share!!! If you’re planning a wedding, this is where stuff starts to move fast. I’ve already exceeded my booking goal for 2019 (but maybe if you’re extra nice I’ll take one or two more weddings)... and 2020 is already 1/3 booked. So don’t dilly dally! With certain vendors (like photographers, planners, bands)- we only have so many slots so make sure you reach out earlier than you think! P.S. happiness looks really good on you. . @regalodesign #nashvillebride #nashvilleweddings #nashvilleweddingphotographer
Got my heart eyes on for these cute Valentines. 😍😍😍 . Photographers - how many of you struggle to document your own life? I’m committing to cut that shiz out this year- bringing my “big camera” out for more personal things, HIRING other photographers, and @simplybysuzy and I are taking our babies on a photo pilgrimage in the desert in a few months. And I’m falling for these little Instax photos too- never thought I’d say that, but... kinda love em.
Guys! Did you see I’m teaching at @thehybridco? This conference is going to be so kick ass- if you’re a photographer who loves film and wants to run a sustainable business. I’ll be teaching and leading a shoot with @mollysohr designing and @maryloverichardson flowering and it will be magical so I hope you can come!! There are only 3 spots left for our shoot, and lots of other courses and opportunities to learn. The conference will be in Nashville this year, so if you are coming from out of town, you are in for a treat! Can’t wait to meet you! P.S. comment here if you’re coming to the conference or thinking about it!
The kid that constantly makes me shoot higher. I hope I never stop seeing the world in the magical way that children see. And never stop giggling at fart jokes.
Sunday sassy feelings. Maggie and Sham’s wedding in Jamaica was full of dancing, sunshine, and Redstripe- winning combo. . #jamaicawedding #destinationwedding #jamaicadestinationweddings
Happy Valentines Day friends! . A note to those in love: soak it up, breathe it in, be thankful for the little things, let go of expectations for your partner, cherish each hug, take mental pictures and physical pictures. . A note to those currently unattached: being single doesn’t mean there isn’t still a ton of love to experience, give, and feel today. You are love. Try to give love to someone who looks like they need it. Smile a little brighter, do something extra kind for yourself, look around to see who might be hurting today and send them a text. . Enjoy today love birds!
