Hi, I'M KRISTY!
I’m a Charleston and Buffalo-based wedding, elopement, senior, and portrait photographer, documenting the people, connections, and moments that make your story yours.
With nearly 15 years behind the camera and more than 25 years as a gymnastics and cheerleading coach, I have a pretty unique understanding of movement—and how to guide you in a way that feels natural, flattering, and effortless. You’ll never be left wondering what to do. I’ll give you direction when you need it, while leaving plenty of room for the genuine moments to unfold.
The experience is relaxed, personal, and usually filled with plenty of laughter. My goal is for you to feel comfortable enough to forget about the camera and confident enough to see yourself in a whole new way.

DIRECTION WHEN YOU NEED IT. SPACE TO BE YOURSELF. ROOM FOR THE UNEXPECTED.
 
my story
I’m based in Charleston, South Carolina, where I photograph weddings, elopements, seniors, couples, families, and all of life’s meaningful moments. I’m also back in Buffalo, New York, throughout the year, where I built my business more than a decade ago. Charleston is home now, but Western New York will always be a part of my story.
With 15+ years behind the camera, I’ve had the opportunity to photograph thousands of people and love stories throughout the United States and internationally—from Italy and Switzerland to Mexico and Canada. Travel has always been a huge source of inspiration for me, and I’d jump at the chance to photograph your story somewhere new, whether that’s across town or across the world.
But here’s what I really want you to know: you don’t have to know how to pose. You don’t have to know what to do with your hands, where to stand, or how to look natural in front of a camera. That’s my job.
I’ll guide you every step of the way with prompts and direction that make things feel easy and natural, while leaving plenty of room for the real moments to happen. We’ll talk, laugh, move, and have fun—and somewhere along the way, you’ll probably forget I’m even taking your picture. My goal is for you to see your images and think, “Wow…that’s really me.”
My background as a gymnastics and cheerleading coach for more than 25 years has given me a pretty unique understanding of movement and how the body photographs best. I know how to position you in a way that feels natural and flattering, but I also know when to step back and let the moment unfold.
And when I’m not photographing people, I’m probably watching a movie or bingeing a good show while I edit, or checking out a new restaurant with my family. So tell me your favorite movie, show, or place to eat—I’m always looking for my next obsession.
Wherever your story takes you, I’d love to be the one behind the camera.
 
There's only one you.
