Kristin (best name ever!) came to me wanting a beach photography session somewhere in San Diego. She wanted something fun that captured who she was! We settled on Carlsbad Beach for a sunset portrait session.  We had a total blast together and it was such a beautiful night out on the beach.  We had a few laughs at the beginning as I took her the wrong way down the beach and she was such a great sport traversing down the cliff with me.  The laughing continued throughout our time down on Carlsbad Beach together. Kristin was up for everything and that truly made her session outcome magical as you’ll see in her images!

I asked Kristin to share a few things about herself, the session and the businesses she owns. Here’s what she had to say:

What was your reason for booking this session?
I wanted special photos to celebrate my 30th birthday, and so I booked a session with Kristin because I fell in love with the artistry and use of light in her work! As soon as I saw her portfolio I knew I had to work with her because the quality of her work stands out and you can tell she is a true professional by the final image results. She was quick to respond and so friendly and helpful! I didn’t do any of the “traditional” things in my 20s that would warrant a photo shoot….get married, have kids….so I realized I didn’t have any professional photos to mark this season of my life. Kristin was so willing and enthusiastic about this unconventional photo shoot that it made me really excited to work with her.

Favorite part of the session?
My favorite part of the session was getting to play in the water! Kristin made the entire process so fun that I was actually able to enjoy the evening at the beach and feel comfortable in my body and in front of the camera. She gave such great direction and was so warm and encouraging that I felt I could be myself, and that comfort made a huge difference in how the final images turned out. Such a joy to get to experience a beautiful sunset on the beach and to have the photo memories to last a lifetime.

Why do you think other women should book a similar session?
I highly recommend women book a session to commemorate any milestone, accomplishment, or just for fun! Women deserve more opportunities to celebrate themselves, whatever season of life they are in and whatever path they choose! Women don’t have to get married or have kids to be celebrated, and a photo session is such a special way to acknowledge and commemorate any and every season of life. Kristin makes you feel so comfortable and the final images made me feel so confident, joyful, and beautiful in my own skin! You know all of those dreamy photos you have saved on your Pinterest? Kristin can turn that dream into reality and you will feel like a million bucks 🤩

I’d love to hear more about your businesses!
I started rip·ple card to help us all see strangers as valuable community members and random encounters as opportunities to connect, ultimately reminding us of the ripple effect that even a small act of kindness can have.

Sol Collective is a community third-space and coffee shop opening soon to illuminate a better way forward in Houston, TX. It will serve the community by offering affordable access to education courses and community engagement for everyone.

As you can tell, Kristin has a beautiful soul and now you get to see her beautiful exterior as well. Enjoy these shares from her insanely amazing session!
