Welcome to my photography site! This is a step that I have wanted to take for myself professionally for several years, so let's dive right in!

My first camera was given to me by my mother when I was in high school. A Nikon D60. It was my most prized possession. It was rare to catch a glimpse of me without it in my hands.  I started taking photos of just about everything and everyone.  I loved capturing moments between people, and small, seemingly unimportant details.  The sound of the shutter clicking is music to my ears.  

Fast forward 15 years and I am living near Lake Placid, NY and mainly working as a bartender. I graduated high school in 2011 and moved up here from New Canaan, CT, and have been working on my photography hustle on the side ever since.  Through friendships and networking I have been improving my craft by photographing just about anything that came across my path.  Dinner events at local restaurants, small weddings and elopements, family portrait sessions, and everything in between.  

When I am not bartending or shooting a small event, I try to get outside and capture some of the natural beauty that the Adirondack Mountains have to offer. There is nothing quite like getting a great shot of a wild flower, or catching the perfect moment where the sun is hitting the mountains as it sets. 

Currently I shoot with a Canon 6D, my first full-frame DSLR. I was always partial to Nikon, but this Canon has me sold. I love it's versatility in low-light situations as I tend to be a "natural light" photographer.  I love shooting outdoors even in the winter. Every season holds beauty as long as we are willing to see it. 

I have so many people to thank for helping me get to this point in my photography career that I can't even begin to list them.  Everyone who has given me the chance to capture their special moments, every trail I have traveled which set the scene for the perfect shot, every person who has told their friends to give me a try. It is all coming together.  

Please feel free to reach out to me any time if you have any questions about what I do, or pricing for certain situations, or if you have a fun idea for a shoot!

Thanks,

Kirstyn
