I see you, Mama. You’re juggling a million things—running a household, maybe working full-time, and somehow making it all happen. I know that most days, it feels like there’s never enough time. But when you step in front of my camera, I want you to take a deep breath and let it all go. Our session will be easy, fun, and effortless—because you deserve that. You’ll walk away not only with beautiful memories but also feeling confident, excited, and so glad you did this. I promise—it’s just that easy!

– Blackmon Family

Kristen has been photographing my little one since she was 3 weeks old! We always have the best experience every time! Even when my little one doesn’t want to smile we still get the best pictures! We recently had a shoot with her and I can’t wait to get those photos back!

– Herte Family

I’ve used Kristen Porter Photography for our family photos for the last 8 years, she is absolutely amazing and I highly recommend her! She’s great with dogs, kids, and genuinely loves what she does and it reflects in her work. She hands down will always be my go to photographer!

– Kohrs Family

Kristen is so unbelievably talented. She’s patient, creative, and always takes her clients requests and needs into consideration. I highly recommend Kristen Porter Photography to anyone looking for exceptional quality photos!

– Worman Family

Kristen has always provided a safe and comfortable place for my family to be ourselves, and have my children feel safe and have fun in nature when taking photos together. I am always amazed, yet never surprised, in the photos she delivers even when my 4-year-old is giving her a hard time about the bees, thistles or stickers in her sandals! I love her style. Kristens work brings happiness and light into our home with her professional photos that we will be able to keep forever. I will only work with her to capture my children’s smiles as they grow.

Honest, heartfelt photography for mamas who want their family’s story told just as it feels—real, raw, and full of love.
