Fine art portrait & Family photographer in southwest florida
Portraits created with care, connection, and artistry —
preserving the moments, relationships, and seasons of life that matter most.
Fine Art Portrait Photography
Sessions are guided with a calm, thoughtful approach — allowing space for genuine connection, natural movement, and imagery that reflects the people and relationships that matter most.
Effortless & Natural
Portraits designed to feel effortless, natural, and beautifully real.
Calm Guidance
Whether photographing families, seniors, maternity, couples, or life’s meaningful milestones, each session is guided by a refined eye for light, composition, and the subtle in-between moments that often become the most treasured.
Intentional Craft
When I'm not behind the lens capturing your story, you can find me trying my best to keep my house plants alive, reading, behind my computer editing with reruns of Friends or Big Bang Theory in the background, going on bike rides, exploring with my husband, or taking my pups Parker & Valor for walks.
I'm very much a peaceful person, but I literally come alive when I have a camera in my hand and am able to get creative. When I meet you for your session, it's like the spark is lit and I become enthralled with creating magical moments for you and your loved ones.

Your story
She made us feel comfortable and relaxed, so we got some great natural expressions. Our photos turned out amazing and were beautifully and minimally edited with a natural enhancement of tone and colors! Highly recommend Kristi for an Anna Maria Island beach photo session!!
“Kristi was the perfect photographer for our family beach photos.”
Saw her page on Instagram and was amazed by her work & I can gladly say she did not disappoint!!! She was super sweet and made the session so fun!!!
“amazed by her work!”
We had the best time, I wanted photos to show off my staff and office remodel. Couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommended Kristi
“highly recommend!”
We came all the way down from Lafayette, Indiana to have our family pictures done by Kristi… best decision!! She was so amazing and sweet with my family. She went above and beyond what I expected in a photographer. In the past we have had other photographers take our family pictures done, with Kristi it was a first but our first favorite photographer photo experience ever! Please move to Lafayette Kristi. 😄… if we ever come back down to Anna Maria area we will definitely be using Kristi again in the future. Thank you Kristi for your time and professionalism!
“She went above and beyond!”
She was very communicative from the start and the session was friendly and comfortable so that we were put at ease. We loved all of our pictures and would highly recommend her in the future.
“We had a wonderful experience with Kristi!”
We used her for two photo shoots in 2022 and recommended her to other family members. She is creative, inspirational, flexible, and fun to work with. She works overtime to get the finished photographs to you and the quality is outstanding. If you are looking for a photographer, I would highly recommend Kristi.
“We love Kristi!”
