PHOTOGRAPHY

Welcome

HEY!

I’m Kristen.

I’m a wedding photographer based in Kitchener, ON and I’m passionate about authentic love, real, raw moments and capturing life as we know it. I love those funky, fun lovers who want to showcase who they are on camera and step outside the traditional photo box. My services extend beyond weddings, including elopement + boudoir, as well as maternity, newborn, branding + family photography.

Anyone else feeling inspired to turn up the heat during couples sessions lately? If you answered no, you clearly haven’t watched Sex Life on Netflix.

Taking the time to plan photos that truly mean something to you will make your photos so much more memorable some day when you look back on them.

Sara wanted to take family photos with their 7 month old at the farm where her horse Gerry has boarded for a long time. Jerry was making the move to a new farm, so we wanted to create a lasting memory before he did. It was so special, because last year we were able to do Sara and Alex’s maternity photos there as well.

Sometimes it’s a location, or maybe it’s a hobby or interest, but personalizing your photos can add so much sentimental value to them.

If you have a session coming up, let’s talk about how we can make yours a just a little more special. 🤍

You know when you have this nice long caption written that you put some deep thought into, and then you’re phone dies as your ready to post?? I love when that happens. So here’s a fun bridal party shot to change it up, that’s all she wrote.✌️

You’re my favorite,” he said offhand. “Favorite what?” she wondered aloud. “Oh, well,” he stammered. “Well, just that. My favorite pair of eyes to look into. My favorite name to see appear on my phone. My favorite way to spend an afternoon. Fill in the blank, Beautiful…I left it at favorite for a reason.” “You’re my favorite too,” she whispered." - Pensive Penman

For those who haven’t already heard, photographers have been given the green light in Waterloo Region to start working outdoors again *celebratory dance.* At the moment only 5 people are allowed to gather together.

If you’ve been holding out for maternity photos, a couples session or maybe family photos, please reach out and let’s document your life and your love!

This year I am taking on less bookings because I’m home raising my beautiful 4.5 month old little girl, so please reach out sooner than later so we can make magic happen.

“One of the most amazing things that can happen

“One of the most amazing things that can happen is finding someone who sees everything you are and won't let you be anything less. They see the potential of you. They see endless possibilities. And through their eyes, you start to see yourself the same way. As someone who matters. As someone who can make a difference in this world.
If you're lucky enough to find this person, never let them go.”

Mother’s Day means something a little different

Mother’s Day means something a little different this year for me and I’m so proud to be celebrating as a mother. Olivia is almost four months, and not a day passes by that I’m not amazed by her and how blessed I am to be her mom. I look into her eyes, and I see my best friend. I feel a love from her that I’ve never felt from anyone, and I have a love for her that’s so overwhelming it takes my breath away. She’s looks up at me with the most innocent and loving eyes, and she’s the only thing that matters. I was so worried before I got pregnant that life would be so different, and it is in many ways. But I wake up every single day and I can’t get to her crib fast enough to see her beaming smile. It doesn’t matter that life is different, because she fits perfectly into it with us. Thank you Olivia for the greatest opportunity I’ve ever been given, to be your mama.

Sending out my sincerest love to all the mamas, mama-to-be’s, grandmas, step ma’s, mother figures, grieving mothers, and to the woman trying to become a mama. 🤍

Photo credit to my patient husband 📸 - I was super bummed when I loaded these onto my computer to find out my camera was in JPEG not RAW, but I loved them too much to care.

I was scrolling through old images today and was reminded of FaceTime shoots from last year, when the lock down pushed me to try something different to keep my sanity.

For this lock down I’m trying something different and I challenge you to join me!

I did a challenge many years ago that required me to show gratitude for 100 days by posting a photo of anything that brought me joy, or that I felt grateful for. It was an amazing exercise to do on a daily basis and it was amazing how it forced me to find little things to appreciate more.

So I got to thinking, with everything that’s going on, and living through now a third lockdown, maybe that exercise wouldn’t be a bad idea right about now.

For 30 days, I’m choosing to share something that brings me joy. I’ll be sharing in my stories and using the hashtag #choosingjoyfor30 along with what day I’m on. You can share it to your stories or your feed, and be sure to tag me so I can be inspired by what brings you joy!

As a wedding photographer, and even as a guest at

As a wedding photographer, and even as a guest at a wedding, one of the things I look forward to the most is the reveal of the *dress*.

I just find it so exciting and special. The dress is such a statement. The choice of fabric, design, fit, colour.. it all speaks to a persons taste and personality. I’m always SO curious to see what the bride has chosen, and I can’t say I’ve ever seen a bride where the dress didn’t suit her. And then of course witnessing loved ones and their soon to be husband or wife react to seeing them in the dress is a whole other beautiful thing.

Anyone else obsessed with wedding dresses??

It’s officially less than 1 week until baby Malf

It’s officially less than 1 week until baby Malfara’s due date. I can’t wait to meet my little niece!! My guess was she would be here by the end of this weekend, and time is running out so I think I’m losing this one. I CANNOT wait for Olivia to have a little cousin so close in age to her, c’mon little one, we’re waiting for you!!

A little glimpse at A + G’s intimate wedding in

A little glimpse at A + G’s intimate wedding in Cambridge. The details and colour palette were absolutely stunning, and perfectly complimented @storehouse408

These two share a gentle, playful and magnetic love that I truly adored witnessing. We hit it off so well on our first coffee meeting, and I knew they were a couple I wanted to work with right away. I was so excited when Amy sent me the message that they wanted to move forward and book with me.

Pro tip: ALWAYS meet with your couples before booking a wedding/elopement. Vibing with each other is one of the most important factors in capturing great memories. Choosing your photographer is so much more than a style and price, and choosing your couples is so much more than just getting paid.

Cheers to all my wicked 2021 couples, I can’t wait to create memories with you! ✌️

Fact: One of the lovely things about winter is the chilly days that are perfect for being cozy and cuddled up inside, sitting by the fire, watching movies and eating comfort foods.

Who’s with me? Do you prefer to be outside a lot in the winter, or cozied up inside?

For those who don’t already know, this is who’s been stealing up all our time lately. My husband and I welcomed a beautiful little girl into the world on January 12th. We’ve been soaking up every second with Olivia, and adjusting to our new life as a family.

To all my clients, I appreciate your patience and understanding while I’ve been a little absent.

I’ve searched my heart over and over again to try and find the right words. The truth is, no words could ever describe how much I truly love you my child.
