This concept was so fun to play with, and it came together exactly as I had hoped. A date paint night is exactly what every couple needs! 🎨 #piccaso1 #picasso2

Here are just a few snippets from one out of four sets at our shoot at the incredibly gorgeous @thependennisweddingsandevents. Friends, if you’re looking for a stunning modern yet classic urban venue, this is the one! We had so much fun exploring the venue and checking out the roof top patio 🤩

Huge thanks to so many people involved: @ak.beautyco for the beautiful hair and makeup, @novellebridal for the stunning dresses & accessories, @flowerheadflorals for the beautiful floral pieces, @meg.rae.photography for your behind the scenes help, @thebottledbronco for supplying cocktails, and of course @thependennisweddingsandevents for allowing us to shoot in the venue.

This sun lately has been giving me lifeeee ☀️!

This sun lately has been giving me lifeeee ☀️! It’s been an awesome winter soaking up time with the littles and preparing for our move, but now it’s time to get into wedding season mode. I am so excited to work so many amazing couples this year! This is my 10th wedding season, and I’m going to make it count. 🙌

Here’s a little peek into Brianna and Zach’s wedding day. It was super intimate and low key, which I think described them perfectly. These two were a vision amongst the falling snow and mountains. 🤍

So I’m currently cutting out caffeine - ask me how that’s going 🤪🤯☕️ If anyone has tips on this, hit me up below! (Is a year long eye twitch normal?!) lollllll.

ALSO, I’m a day late to chime in on #internationalwomensday, but just here to say I sure am damn proud to be a woman - a woman who not only lives off income from doing an art she loves, but thrives! Women are dominating the photography industry and I sure am damn proud to be one of them. 👊

Shout out to all you ladies out there making this world turn round, whether it’s being the CEO of your own home or the CEO of a company.. I am PROUD of us! 🥂💃

Thanks to my adorable pal @meg.rae.photography for snapping this pic of me at our last hang. 🤍

Todays a big day - little Hal turns 4! Seriously, where did the time go. 🥲

You made me a mom and I’m almost certain you’ve taught me more than I’ve taught you. You brighten the room wherever you go and we’re so so proud of the little person you are becoming. You are strong, brave and hard working 💪 @ceemers9

Today I hope you feel our love, and enjoy yourself at the waterpark! I am so excited to see you swim your little fish heart out. 🐠 Love you, our hurricane Hal

☀️ Good morning world! ☀️

👋 Hi old friends and new! If you’re new here, I’m Kristy and I’m so jazzed you’re following along. Here’s a photo from the fall of me and my littlest human Silvia at Pigeon Lake. I photograph mainly weddings but also dabble in different kinds of lifestyle photography! 2022 was a big year for me, I decided to add to my team and take on an associate shooter @meg.rae.photography who photographs weddings on my behalf when I’m unable to! We’re going to have an incredible and busy 2023 ✨

This last year has been one of growth and learning. While giving everything I have to my two little mini me’s, I’ve been also hustling to keep up with this little biz of mine. I am incredibly grateful to have such an amazing career that gives me the flexibility to be with my girls more than the average working mother does. 🙌 While it feels like it’s a lot to juggle some days, I do know I’d never trade it for anything in the world. 🤍 I know I have one of the best jobs in the world, I love being surrounded by love and positivity and being able to connect with so many awesome people.

What a lot of you may not see on my stories and posts is that I’ve been doing a bit of soul searching this last year to figure out what brings me joy and also a healthy balance to my life. That often means less time on here and taking on a selective amount of shoots at certain times of the year, and also making sure I focus on my health (still working on improving my sleep 😴😂).

As my girls approach school years very quickly it’s been on my mind to get us situated where we feel we should hunker down for the long haul. I’m thinking this year might just be the year for a big change, but stay tuned on that!

If you’ve made it this far through my ramble, thank you - I truly appreciate you!

Now I’m off to run my kiddos to dance class, continue to edit my bum off, and soak up what’s left of this warm weather. I advise you do the same! Winter is commmingggg ❄️

So I may eat my words in a few weeks but this winter weather we’ve been having sure has been glorious! ❄️

Lindsey and Jake had a surprise wedding recently - this is just one of the many photos I love from their day. The reactions of their friends and family were absolutely priceless 🙌. Highly recommend! 👏

Happy hump day friends! I’m currently off to photograph a beautiful little angel baby and I’m very excited. 🤍

Merry Christmas and happy holidays from our crazy crew to you! ✨

We’ve had an incredible year and we’re excited to see what 2023 has in store for us! I’d like to thank all my clients, family and friends for all their love and support over all the years I’ve been in business. I don’t take it for granted one bit because you all allow me to do something that I love and support my family while doing so! Lucky is an understatement 🍀. So, cheers to you friends 🥂.

Sending so much love to those struggling this season, I know Christmas can also be a dark time for many. You’re not forgotten and you are loved. 🤍

Special thanks to my pal @rockwoodphotograph for snapping these for us at our cozy little cabin. 🫶
