Hi, I'm Kristie

Nice to meet you! I'm a creative soul and lifestyle photographer in Central Texas. I’ve always been drawn to the beauty in the details: the way light falls, how people connect and the moments you wish you could pause and hold onto. As a mama to two littles, I know how fleeting each season can be. Through natural light, gentle guidance and space for real moments to unfold, I help you document the love, connection and stories that make this season yours.

Newborn

 

 

Those first days at home when everything feels new and time moves a little slower. Quiet moments, tiny details, and the love that fills the room in between everything else.

Family

 

 

The laughter, movement and beautiful chaos of life together. I focus on connection over perfection, capturing the in-between moments that often become the most meaningful.

Couples

 

 

The quiet in-between glances, the laughter, the ease of simply being together. Honest, natural imagery that reflects your connection as it truly is.

Kristie has such a gift for capturing the beauty in everyday family moments. With three young kids–including two toddlers and a newborn baby—we expected our session to be chaotic, but she made it feel relaxed and enjoyable. She was incredibly patient through feedings and diaper changes, always finding creative ways to keep everyone engaged while capturing genuine, natural moments we'll treasure forever.

Kristie made our maternity shoot such a special experience–she gave great posing direction, took the time to understand our style, and made us feel so comfortable throughout. She was wonderful about including our furbaby, Jag, and he absolutely loved her too!


Her ability to capture genuine, beautiful moments are highlighted in every photo. We loved working with her so much we've already booked her for our newborn shoot. Highly recommend!

We cannot recommend Kristie enough! She photographed our family at sunset shortly after we learned our dog had cancer. She captured every moment with so much love, patience and compassion. The photos are absolutely stunning and have become some of our most treasured memories. If you're looking for someone who is incredibly talented and truly cares about preserving life's most meaningful moments, Kristie is the photographer to choose.

My fiance and I got our engagement shoot done by Kristie and we cannot recommend her enough!! We had no experience taking photos but Kristie made it so easy and fun for us. She helped us pick out photoshoot spots, knew hot to work with the lighting and the weather, guided us on how to pose and did an amazing job editing and delivering our photos. We're so happy with our photos and can't wait to share them with our family and friends!
