Hello!

I’M KRISTIN, BUT YOU CAN CALL ME KAL…

I’m a photographer, art teacher, artist, wife, and my absolute favorite title so far - Mom!

I live in a beautiful but hard to identify area just north of the Catskills and south of Albany, east of Oneonta and Cooperstown. It’s close to where I grew up and where my family still lives in the Catskills. I love living close to my family, especially my nephews.

I’ve loved photography for as long as I can remember.

It's 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 & 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 the same love of capturing connections and growing more as an artist.

I love Everything about a wedding day…

The anticipation, the joy, the laughter, the happy tears, and the simple fact that everyone you know is gathered to celebrate with you.  I have had the honor of celebrating with so many couples together with their friends and family and it gives me so much joy.  I have definitely been known to tear up during a ceremony or a touching speech. I want to capture those moments, relationships, and love so that you can keep them and cherish them forever. It just makes my heart happy!

I can’t wait to get to know you better! I would love to learn what is important to you and help with your wedding planning as much as I possibly can.  I want you (and your family and friends) to have the absolute BEST day EVER! I’ll be there to document these cherished moments and tell your unique story in photos.

This bio is about me… but I strive for my photography to be all about you! 

So tell me about your loves, your ideas, and let’s start planning!
