My social awkwardness is at an all time high! 🥺

My social awkwardness is at an all time high! 🥺

I swear, the longer I am not around people the more socially awkward I get. When I see people now for those brief moments, it’s like an explosion happens out of my mouth - almost like I’m trying to get out as many personal details as I can in the short amount of time that I have 😂 ALSO - what does one do with their hands? I absolutely HATE not hugging.

Is it just me being a stage 5 TMI clinger? #thankspandemic

I’m super excited to see all the inquiries for 2022 weddings rolling in over the last few weeks here! I think that means there were some busy fellas out there over the holidays 💍 Also, I think that people in general have hope that weddings will go on as usual next year, which makes me so so happy. 👏 What are your thoughts on this? Do you believe the vaccines will allow life to return to normal?

So! If you’re interested in having me photograph your 2022 wedding, please get in touch via my website ASAP! I feel like some weddings this year might postpone to next which means next year might book up again super fast 💨 Tag a friend who might be interested!

Congrats to all you lovers out there ❤️ and yay for brighter (and less lonely) days ahead.

Such a shame the ice castle is not being built this year...It always makes for a great photo location 👏 Bride babe: @ammee_ #winterwedding #icecastle

Anyone else never know what to say on the gram? 😳😒

I always feel like it’s tough to keep spewing out positivity in the current state that the world is in. So let’s just all agree the world is crazy, life is beautiful and the truth lies somewhere in between.. ya? #toxicpositivity

Happy Thursday friends ❤️ (wait, is it even Thursday??)

Home sweet home after a short little getaway to the mountains 🏔 It was a much needed break to get outside and explore, and escape some serious cabin fever. I’m not going to lie friends, it’s been a hard last few weeks for me mentally/emotionally and I’m sure some (or many) of you feel the same way. January and February are going to be some tough months to get thru for everyone, so I encourage you to do whatever it is that keeps you sane during this time. Put your mental health first right now, and never forget that the world needs you. ❤️ #mentalhealthawareness #endthestigma #covidsucks Babe in love: @anewasiuk

Hello frannddss! 🙋‍♀️

It’s been a little while since I’ve introduced myself! I’m Kristy, the face behind this little biz of mine ❤️ In this photo you’ll see one of my two daughters... if you’ve been following me for a while you’ve literally watched Halle grow up and you may already feel like you know her! Much like her mama, she’s a little firecracker ball of energy who is almost 2 years old. We recently had another little girl named Silvia. We are in the early stages of her life so we’ve been taking things slow over these last few months, but I am feeling like we’ve gotten into a good routine. I can’t believe she’s almost 3 months old! 🤯

I’ve been shooting for many moons, since 2013 to be precise and I specialize in wedding photography, however I also hold family lifestyle photography near and dear to my heart 🤍 You can see some of my family work over at @wildlovelifestyle

I’ve truly loved getting to know folks on this little app, even though I feel like I really suck at keeping on posting and socializing on here sometimes. I’ve made some lifelong friends and connected with some forever clients on this app which is super cool! As much as social media can be a tough thing to wrap our heads around, I can’t deny the good it’s brought me for connecting me to all of you!

SO just wanted to say hollaaa to ya’ll and I hope you’ll stick around with me to navigate this crazy thing called life, and have some laughs along the way. ✌️

I don’t know about you guys, but I honestly can’t remember the last time I stayed up till midnight for New Years 🤷‍♀️

To celebrate New Year’s Day, I’ve put on makeup wooo hooo! Who’s with me?! Haha. Happy New Years everyone. ❤️❤️❤️

If you could describe 2020 in one word, what would it be? For me the first word that comes to mind is “uncertain”.

My resolution for the New Years is to cherish time with loved ones and never take it for granted again. I personally cannot wait for some girls nights and trips!

This year most definitely has been a year for change, growth, challenge and hardship. 2020, you’ll never be forgotten for both the good and the bad that you have brought us.

Even though most of my weddings got postponed this year, I still got to have many amazing experiences shooting intimate weddings, engagements and families, and we hosted our first ever @heart_and_dime workshop! We welcomed our beautiful baby girl Silvia into the world, and for that alone I’d say this year was one of the best ones yet. ❤️

Thank you all for being a support and for continuing to stay with me on this journey. Happy freakin’ New Years friends! Let’s make 2021 the year that we don’t take anything for granted. 🥂

Let’s play a game, finish this sentence: The best part about Christmas being over is.. _____.

I’ll go first, the best part about Christmas being over.. is not hearing those horrid Christmas songs on the radio every 2 minutes. (Also, you know you’re old when you still listen to the radio... @cisncountry I blame it on you and my hillbilly heart/hopeless romantic side).

Today is the day after the Winter Solstice which means that from this point on, there will be more sunlight each day ☀️ Friends, I feel like we’re onto brighter days ahead and I hope you feel that way too.

Just a few more days until the big guy comes! 🎅 I’ll share some photos of the girls seeing “Santa” tomorrow, so stay tuned. ❤️ Wishing you all a wonderful week leading up until Christmas.

I’ve been trying so hard to keep up with posting

I’ve been trying so hard to keep up with posting but I won’t lie friends, it’s tough - some days I don’t even brush my teeth 😂. My two runts are both currently napping at the SAME time right now so, woot woot.

I started shopping early for local items for Christmas (instead of last min frantic shopping at Wally 😬) because I was afraid all the stores would shut down, but the problem with that is that I just kept buying more and more things haha - anyone else with me on that?! My poor bank account haha...

Anyyyywho, Ayla and Chris are long term clients turned friends of mine and I was so excited to escape my house and capture this session for them. Yesterday was Ayla’s birthday! Happy birthday beauty! I can’t wait to see who that little human is! @aylarianneblog @aylaroneill MUA: the fabulous @hpmakeupartistry

Well, who would have thought an Instagram giveaway

Well, who would have thought an Instagram giveaway would have taken a full day of my attention, 😂😂😂! If you haven’t seen my stories, well basically a scammer made a page that looked like mine and sent out a mass msg to those who entered the giveaway congratulating them for winning, and prompted them to click a link which would ask for their info, including their CC number. 🤯🤯🤯 #dickhead

I didn’t even know this kind of thing happens, sooo learned something new today!

On the positive note, just want to say how amazed I am at all the entries which included proof of donation to a charity. You people are good humans, and we are so thankful for you! Massive congrats to @jenelleylynn who won! Thank you for being here with us ❤️❤️❤️ @hpmakeupartistry @bombshellbhs

Anyone else Martha Stewart-ing it up in hurrrr?! I dunno about you but I’m pretty sure my oven has never seen more action than it has lately, and I won’t lie it’s definitely NOT good for the old waistline. 🧁 🍪 what’s your favourite thing to bake?
