Creating a space where you can soften. Where you can breathe a little deeper. Where you're not expected to perform or pose, but instead settle into who you naturally are. There is a quiet beauty in the way people reveal themselves slowly and honestly, in their own rhythm, and the work is shaped from that place.
This work becomes a grounding place, an expression of heart, and a way of honoring the beauty found in the ordinary. It is not the whole story that matters, but the threads that linger. The gestures too quiet to notice in real time but impossible to forget. The warmth, the tenderness, the truth of who you are together. Every life holds a still grain: quiet details, intimate truths, soft textures of the heart. And I feel deeply honored to preserve them.
A short and intentional session designed to capture connection with ease and simplicity. Thoughtful, relaxed, and rooted in the moments that matter most.

"Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about."
Reach out through the contact form and share what brought you here. Tell me about your story, your vision, what you're hoping to create. I’ll look over every detail and get back to you within 24 to 48 hours on weekdays with availability, next steps, and any initial guidance you might need.
Once we feel like the right fit, I'll send your proposal with contract and invoice. A retainer secures your date, and we begin shaping the vision together.
This is where your story starts to take shape. I'll guide you through styling, location ideas, timing, and anything else that helps the session feel authentically yours. My goal is for you to walk in feeling supported, prepared, and completely yourself.
Your session will feel calm, intentional, and unhurried. I guide gently with soft prompts that create natural connection and movement. I pay attention to the small moments, the way you interact, the honest emotions that unfold when nothing is forced.
After your session, I carefully edit and curate your gallery with warm, film-inspired tones. I focus on connection, emotion, and the quiet details that make your images feel like memories you can hold.
Your final gallery arrives in your inbox within the agreed timeline. A full digital collection, ready to download, share, and treasure.

I recommend booking 4 to 8 weeks in advance for local sessions, especially in busy seasons like spring and fall. For mothers to be, it's all about how you feel, but I recommend between 30-38 weeks. Elopements and weddings typically book 6 to 12 months ahead.
Absolutely. After you book, I'll send a detailed style guide to help you choose outfits that photograph beautifully and feel like you. You're always welcome to text or email outfit options, and I'll help you narrow things down.
If the weather isn’t cooperating, we’ll either reschedule or move the session indoors to studio that I will source, and have approved by you. One that is within a reasonable distance. I’ll reach out the day before if the forecast looks concerning.
Yes, always. Everyone deserves to feel seen, safe, and celebrated. My work is fully inclusive and welcoming to all identities, couples, and families.
Of course. I love including pets. I'll guide you through ways to make it feel natural and fun, and we'll get a mix of photos with and without your pup.
A non-refundable retainer secures your session date and is due upon booking via Venmo (kristina-lin-4) or Zelle (kristinalinphoto@gmail.com). The remaining balance is due on the day of your session.
Most people do at first. My job is to help you feel relaxed, and connected. I guide you gently and focus on natural interaction instead of stiff poses. Give it five minutes though and you’ll be surprised how quickly it feels easy.

"Kristina has photographed me and my family on multiple occasions. From maternity pictures, studio portraits, and lifestyle candid shoots she always manages to get the most beautiful shots! She knows how to work with the children and create a very relaxed vibe for everyone. She is artistic and intentional with her photography which I just love! Highly recommend booking with her!"
