About Kiersten
Hey! I’m Kiersten.
(She/Her/Hers)
I’m a newborn, family, and maternity lifestyle 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, and that’s my ultimate goal (besides, you know, capturing gorgeous photos).
What sets me apart? Two things:
A highly personalized experience
2. A focus on making you feel completely at ease in front of the camera
I take the time to get to know you so I can customize every detail of the session to reflect who you truly are. My calm, laid-back approach allows you to relax and enjoy the process, without any pressure to be anything other than yourself.
My clients often tell me that what started as nerves quickly turned into a fun, easy experience—because with me, it’s not just about the photos, it’s about enjoying the whole process.
I’m known for being kind and approachable (my mom insists I’m funny too, but she might be biased). I won’t be making you do any zany antics for “the perfect shot” (not that there’s anything wrong with that).
Instead, 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 approach is calm and laid-back, which allows clients to not feel pressured to be anything but themselves.
I also really believe in going with the flow—because, let’s face it, photo sessions and life rarely go exactly as planned (especially with fussy toddlers or, let’s be honest, husbands).
A Stress-Free Approach, Tailored to You
With over a decade of experience, I’ve created a stress-free, thoughtful approach that combines preparation with the flexibility to adapt. I’ll work closely with you to choose the perfect location and provide styling and preparation tips so you feel confident and ready.
During the session, I’ll capture genuine, heartfelt moments, gently guiding you when needed but letting your natural connections shine through.
After the session, I hand-edit every image and deliver final photos quickly so you can enjoy them without the wait. More than just capturing natural, heartfelt images, I’m here to create a fully personalized, comfortable experience that results in photos you’ll cherish for a lifetime.
When I’m Not Behind the Camera...
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 beauty of the PNW with my Korean rescue pup, Fig.
On weekends between sessions, I love cozying up to watch my favorite team, Liverpool, play (and win. Hopefully. Probably.).
Let’s say goodbye to awkward photo shoots and create some natural, heartfelt photos together!
