KIND WORDS FROM CLIENTS

How It Felt to Be in Front of My Lens

 

Kiersten has a calm energy that works so well with family photos. My kids immediately felt comfortable being themselves around her, and we got amazing photos that really showed their personalities.
— Julia S.

We started working with her for our maternity photos and then had a newborn, 6 month, and 1 year session from there. Our photos are beautiful and we are so happy with how they’ve turned out.
— Kaitlin E.

She made us feel comfortable so quickly and she captured the real us!
— Alison L.
 

 

Hey! I’m Kiersten. (She/Her/Hers). I’m a Seattle newborn, maternity, 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, genuine photos together.
