ABOUT KALZ PHOTOGRAPHY

HI! I’M KRISTIN. I’M A PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER, ART TEACHER, ARTIST, WIFE, AND MY FAVORITE TITLE SO FAR - MOM!


Photography is a passion that was kindled in me early on by my father and grew stronger in the dark rooms developing film and photos during middle school, high school, and then college.

The techniques may have changed from chemicals in the dark room to Photoshop and Lightroom, but it continues to involve the same passion and love of capturing connections that inspire me to grow as an artist.

Fun-Loving, Romantic, Silly, Outdoor wandering, Dances to the beat of a their own drum kinda couple.

Weddings are a celebration of your love and the beginning of a lifelong story together. All of your favorite people are gathered in one place to share in the joy and celebration of your day.

It is my personal pleasure to capture the moments of laughter, overflowing joy, tears, passion, and all of the emotions in between that make your day so special.

A day that you have been waiting to celebrate for what seems like forever is HERE! Together, let’s make these moments with your love last a lifetime.

I love Kristin. I love her. I love working with her, I am obsessed with her photos. She is everything.
She is the kind of photographer who will go above and beyond to make sure you have the best day and best experience. She was so fun, and I can solidly say I'll look back on my photos for the rest of my life and absolutely love them.

“Kristin Lavigne is an incredibly gifted photographer. Hiring her was the single BEST decision I made while planning my wedding! She made the whole process relaxed and fun. She took AMAZING photos of us, our wedding party and our guests. Even my husband couldn't stop raving about her after our wedding, and he hates taking pictures. She really captured the beauty of our venue, and breathtaking moments between my husband and me that I will cherish forever. After the whirlwind of a day is over, you only have the photographs to keep forever. I can not be more grateful for how Kristin captured every detail that was important to us. The photos will serve me more than my own memory, that I am 100% sure of.”
