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...)

It's Monday- you're back at it chasing those dreams. And some days it isn't easy - but you keep showing up and putting in the work and sending love out in to the world and I'm so proud of you all! . And we're better together so here are some ladies you need to know and follow who keep showing up for their clients, working hard, and following those dreams. So inspired by y'all! . @travelbash (pictured!) - love watching you create unique travel experiences for your clients and for always going the extra mile to make sure they have the very best time! . @simplybysuzy for capturing families in a way that is always fresh, authentic, and heartwarming. I never get tired of looking at your work or being around you! . @carriecolemanphoto your care for others shines through in your work and making people feel seen is something you are A+ at. . @thecedarlane - you're a bright light to all who know you. You get that beauty is way more than something on the surface. . Tag a lady friend who inspires you!!
🎶 all I need to understand is.. when you... talk dirty to me 🎶
Nayha and Zubin's wedding is on @BRIDES! Super excited to see photos from this one in print this winter too! @sjsevents @atlasfloral @peabodymemphis @wtrfilms
When you show up and this is the wedding venue, you know it's gonna be a good day. #destinationweddings
Morning rituals to start the day off right. It's been a year of walking to coffee every day. A year of intermittent fasting. A year of committing to be healthy physically, emotionally, mentally. The best year of parenting yet. The best year of my business yet. Beyond thankful. . Have a morning ritual that you love?
Happy Monday friends! It's me, Kristin. I took an introvert self care day yesterday and so today my actual extrovert-ness is screaming for people. 10 years of shooting weddings, and I still love what I do. Celebrating small and big things in life is one of my favorite things, so what is better than being part of big ole dance parties most weekends?? I make up new holidays, look to add whimsy to mundane stuff, already decorated my house for Christmas, and think I might buy a hot tub this week just so I can still have outdoor parties in the winter. I'm mama to Hudson who has even more excitement for life- he's not afraid of anything, wants to be friends with everyone, and is unashamedly himself - which inspires me every day. I love helping people (business coaching and #theporchcast), creating experiences for people (@studyabroadworkshops), love finding new ways to be creative every day, and love holding hands. I always want to hold hands with the stranger next to me on the airplane, and some day I'm going to actually do it. Do we have anything in common?
A year ago in Paris- I didn't know this trip would be the tipping point for a year of 40+ flights, 7 international trips, 3 overseas workshops, 4 destination weddings, a bunch of US weddings, and over 1000 rolls of film shot. It was a year I said yes to a lot of things, spent more time doing things I thought were fun, laughed a lot with my son, made a ton of new friends and fell in love a hundred times with the world and people around me. There were some really dark days too, and really those just made the other ones brighter. . And life changes and brings new beautiful things in to it.. and next year will look quite different... but I'm gonna look back on this last year as a reminder that anything is possible. Things that felt ridiculous a few years ago can come true. You can overcome huge obstacles and find joy on the other side. Your imagination has so much more power than you think. Continuing to show up for yourself and others in massive ways will never go out of style.
