A New England Photographer for Weddings and high school seniors
About Kristen
I graduated from Fitchburg State University in the Spring of 2022, studying both Photography and Business Administration, and immediately built the photography business I have always dreamed of.
From engagements and weddings, to graduating high school seniors, my goal has always been to capture life’s most beautiful and authentic moments and turn them into timeless pieces of art that will be treasured for a lifetime.
Hey, I'm Kristen!

Some fun facts
To me, it's not just a session, it’s a friendship-in-the-making. I’ve always had a heart for people and their stories, and being able to capture memories that they will look at and cherish for years down the line is truly something I will never take for granted.
I've been a people person since I learned to talk, and the best part of my job is hands-down the sweet connections I get to make along the way. I’m all about turning photoshoots into memory-making adventures—filled with laughter, heartfelt moments, and all the little in-betweens that make it special.
I thrive the most when I can connect with my couples and seniors on a deeper level.
Give me a camera, a golden sunset, and a heart-to-heart with my clients, and I’m in my happy place!
Because let’s be honest, when you hire a photographer, you are looking for more than just someone that can take pretty photos. You need someone that will capture all of your best angles, be your hype girl and stress-reliever throughout the entire day, grab you water and carry your train whenever you need, and—of course—still deliver those stunning photos you’ll be sure to love and look at every single day!
I always strive to capture true to color, captivating images while making sure every photo I take feels alive rather than stuck in a moment of time.
I promise to be more than just your photographer.
From the moment we first chat to the day you receive your final gallery, I’m by your side through it all—making sure the whole experience feels easy, joyful, and truly special and unique to you.
You just said the biggest “Yes” of your life! Now, what’s next?
The KLP Wedding Experience
Our first meeting can either be on Zoom, in my photography studio located in Billerica, MA, or at your favorite local coffee shop! Wherever and however you feel the most comfortable, these conversations are casual and a chance for us to meet face-to-face and see if we are a good fit! We will chat about how you and your partner first met, how they popped the question, and then dive into your dream wedding day and how I can make your vision come to life through imagery. Every love story is unique, and I cannot wait to tell yours.
I cannot wait to hear about your love story
Let's get to know each other
01
Once you sign your wedding photography contract and pay a non refundable deposit of 1/3rd of your total balance to secure your date, it's OFFICIAL! You are locked in on my calendar and I am already counting down the days until your magical day!
Let’s face it - I am already shaking with excitement that you two chose me to capture the biggest day of your lives!
Time to make things official
02
I will set up a couple timeline meetings with you where I will help ensure your day runs smoothly and flawlessly. These calls occur at the six and one month mark leading up to your big day. During these meetings, we will also review what you should include in your details box and your formal shot list to make sure we are on the same page with everything. Don’t worry, we will work together throughout this entire process. I’m here for you! We will also set up your dream engagement session if your collection comes with it! This is a perfect opportunity for us to meet in person and for you and your partner to feel comfortable in front of my lens prior to your wedding day. By the time your wedding day arrives, you two will be total naturals—and probably used to me saying “OMG, so cute!” every few seconds (I mean… Can you blame me?!).
We’ll draft out your wedding day timeline, dream up those can’t-miss moments, and plan the most magical engagement session
Let’s get this party (and planning) started

The day is here! Now it's time for you and your partner to enjoy every minute of it, while I capture it all! From the major moments of the day, to the in-between small moments where I am just a fly on the wall and you don’t even realize that it was captured - you can trust I will make sure you will be able to relive all of them and feel every emotion you felt on this day for the rest of your lives through your gallery.
You’ve been dreaming of this day your entire life, and I cannot wait to capture it in the most beautiful light for you
The biggest day of your life is here!

Amanda & Jon Perkins
From the moment we first connected, her warmth and professionalism instantly put us at ease. She was so attentive to every detail—things we didn’t even think to consider—and her calm, organized approach made everything feel effortless. When we received the photos, we were completely blown away. Every single picture was stunning, capturing our day so beautifully and authentically. Kristen has truly set the bar impossibly high, and we can’t imagine ever working with anyone else.
“Kristen was absolutely the most incredible photographer we could've ever dreamed of for our wedding.”
Hailey Murphy
Kristen was the photographer for my engagement proposal and she did an amazing job. Not only did she hide herself well before the proposal, she captured the moment PERFECTLY. The pictures she took were from many different angles and views but all were clear and captured the special moment/my reaction. She also posed us perfectly after the proposal for a fun shoot and I am just very happy with the photos overall.
“She captured the moment PERFECTLY.”
Monica & Joseph Gustin
The photos came out even more beautiful than we could have ever dreamed. Thank you so much for capturing every perfect, real, candid moment of our perfect day. Every photo brought back all of the feelings we felt in those moments. We loved reliving our wedding day through your photos and we will revisit this day as often as possible. We cannot thank you enough for everything you did for us, for all of your hard work and frequent communication, and for capturing the best day of our lives so that we can relive these memories forever. We can’t wait to work with you again someday!
“WOW. Our albums arrived and we are simply speechless.”
Caitlin & Vincent
When picking our vendors my husband and I really wanted people we clicked with and Kristen is that person!! She's so sweet, accommodating and helpful!! She was always present the whole day and was so communicative with us as a couple! Couldn't ask for a better person to shoot our big day and will definitely be hiring her for any future photos we need!
“Couldn't ask for a better person to shoot our big day.”
Because after you graduate, all you will have left are the memories and the photos!
These photos become a lasting memory for you and everyone in your life. These portraits are guaranteed to be cherished for decades, framed in your home, included in the yearbook, and looked back on as part of your personal growth.
3. Legacy & Memories
Embracing all that makes you, YOU!
At the time of graduation, seniors are often at a turning point in life—transitioning into adulthood, careers, or further education. Your senior portrait session captures who YOU are at that pivotal moment, often reflecting your style, personality, and aspirations.
Your senior session can be as creative as you want! And I am here to help bring your vision to life.
2. Personal Identity
An accomplishment like no other!
Graduating from high school or college is a major life milestone. Senior portraits mark this achievement and serve as a visual celebration of years of hard work, growth, and perseverance.
1. Milestone Celebration
Why are Senior Portraits so important?
You finally made it to senior year! Now before the cap and gown and being able to walk across that stage for the first time, it's time to think about your Senior Portrait Session!
The KLP Senior Experience
I am so glad you asked! Being a KLP Senior is an experience like no other. From a flexible and easy booking process, to customizing your session according to your interests and personality, to truly making sure you feel the most confident for every photograph - I am here to be your personal paparazzi and hype girl for your entire session.
So, what is it like to be a KLP Senior?
Fill out the Senior Inquiry Form on my website and let me know what high school you are graduating from, what season and location you are hoping to have your session, and a little bit about yourself! (i.e. What were you involved in during highschool, what are your hobbies, favorite subject, do you have a pet you want to bring for your session, etc!)
Let's connect!
01
Now that you are officially a KLP Senior, the fun begins! It's time to brainstorm some outfit ideas (send them my way if you would like some input!), decide if you want to bring along any props to make your session completely unique and special to you, and think about who will be accompanying you to your session. I allow my seniors to bring along friends and family if they would like for some portraits at the end. It adds to the special memories that are formed during the session as these are most likely the people that got you to this point - and it adds another level of comfortability to your session as well when your support system is there to hype you up alongside me!
You’re booked! Now let's get planning
02
The day is here and I cannot wait to capture this incredible milestone for you! Leave the posing to me, all you have to do is let loose and enjoy yourself! This is probably one of the first professional photo sessions you are having in your life, and I promise you, you will never forget it!
Your session date has arrived
03
About 5-7 business days after your session, you will receive an online proof gallery from me to view. Omg omg!! But that’s not even the best part! We will then schedule a time for you to come in person to my photography studio in Billerica, MA where we will review your entire gallery together on a large monitor and I will help you narrow down your selections and fit you in the best portrait collection for you. This part is always the hardest, but I promise to help you make this decision as easy as I can for you and your family. We will discuss both print and digital options, and payment plans are always available! :)
The hardest step of all... selecting your dream senior photos!

Clara Jakob
I have worked with Kristen twice now, and she never fails to impress me! From her communication with me, as well as ensuring I’m left happy and satisfied always. She’s taken both me and my brother's photos and I will be returning. She truly makes the experience enjoyable and smooth. I will always recommend!!!
“The best ever!!”
Amanda Palmer
She made her feel immediately comfortable in front of the camera and connected with her on a personal level. The payoff of that connection was the most stunning, natural pictures we have ever gotten. Thank you, Kristen!!
“Kristen was amazing to work with for our daughter's senior pictures.”
