Kristi

Born and raised in North Carolina, then moving to St Louis, I have been a photographer my entire career.

While in NC I learned the ropes as a photo-finisher, accepted a position at Wake Forest school of medicine as medical photographer, worked at a Los Angles based company that created one of the first online 3D shopping sites, where I was the manager of the digital studio. These experiences were extremely valuable, enabling me to hone my craft.

​In 2000, I moved to St. Louis, where I attended Webster University and earned a BA in Media Communications and Photography. I started my own business photographing weddings, bar and bat mitzvahs, corporate portraits, and numerous assignments for a variety of commercial clients. For the next 26 years, I had the privilege of serving the St. Louis area, building lasting relationships and creating photographs for countless families, businesses, and organizations.

I’ve learned, grown and have been shaped by all my photography experiences.

​Today, after relocating to the beautiful Kimberling City and Table Rock Lake area, I continue to serve clients with the same passion and dedication that has guided my career from the beginning.

As an architectural photographer for real estate agents, I have the opportunity to work in an area of photography that I truly love. The technical aspects of photography; angles, lighting, design, and beautiful architecture keep it exciting for me. Not to mention all the decorating ideas I file away for later use.

Portrait photography has always held a special place in my heart as well. Whether creating heirloom portraits of children, capturing the connection between family members, or photographing beloved pets, I am passionate about preserving the people and companions that make our lives meaningful. My goal is to create timeless artwork that celebrates love, personality, and the relationships we treasure most.

​In the last few years I have been working in the area of another one of my passions….Dogs!!!! (and other pet too). Loving every dog I meet, I feel strongly that all dogs are simply REGAL! I love working with them and creating portraits that capture their personality, spirit, and the unconditional love they bring to our lives.

I have created a foundation as well, to help those with aged and terminally ill pets. You can read more on the Hope for Healing page.
