You’re in the right place if you’re looking for:

  • A stress-free experience from the planning stages to your session to photo delivery. My goal is to make everything as easy-breezy as possible for you. You have enough on your plate.

  • Natural, genuine moments captured that you can look back on and cherish. It’s so important to document the little milestones, the big ones, and the beautiful in-between.

  • Professionally edited, beautiful images that you can hang on your wall AND share with your friends on Instagram. Something you're proud of. I’ve been giving this very thing to families, couples, and individuals for 10 years (!) and quality + easily-sharable images are my top priority.


I'd be honored to be your portrait photographer so together we create some incredible photographs that you can love for a lifetime.

We are so lucky to have found Kiersten Marie Photo! We started working with her for our maternity photos and then had a newborn, 6 month, and 1 year (mini) session from there. Our photos are beautiful and we are so happy with how they’ve turned out.

Bringing a baby into the world during a pandemic has limited how much we’ve been able to share our new family so capturing these moments has been particularly special.

Thanks, Kiersten, for capturing the anticipation, love, and joy in our photographs!”

I am so glad we chose Kiersten to take our first family photos. Those precious first weeks of my baby’s life went by so incredibly quickly and I am delighted to have pictures from that time in my life that are so natural and candid.

Hey! I’m Kiersten. (She/Her/Hers). I’m a newborn, family, and headshot photographer.

While I've called Seattle home for quite some time now, my roots lie in Minnesota, where the spirit of "Minnesota nice" runs deep in my veins and reflects in both my personal and professional life.

One thing I often hear from clients is how comfortable I make them feel during our sessions, which is my ultimate goal (besides, you know, getting gorgeous photos together).

If you’re searching for a photographer who keeps things relaxed and easy, you’ve landed in the right spot. I'm not the type to go all out with loud cheers or make you do zany antics just to get “the perfect shot” (not that there’s nothing wrong with that).

Instead, I believe in going with the flow because let's face it, both photo sessions and life never go exactly as planned (especially with fussy toddlers or, you know, husbands). During a session, you’ll often find me cracking jokes, helping you remember what to do with your hands, or just backing up and making space for you to relax with your people. My calm approach allows clients to not feel pressured to be anything but themselves.

Oh, and when I'm not behind the camera, you can probably find me sipping one of Seattle’s many amazing lattes, playing guitar, obsessing over my plants, or enjoying the absolute beauty of the Pacific Northwest with my Korean rescue pup named Fig. 

Let’s bid farewell to the awkward photo shoot and create some natural, heartfelt photos together.
