"Absolute best of the best. She is super easy going and easy to work with, handled any hurdle we threw at her (and there were a lot! Lol!), and her photos are beautiful. Quick turn around as well, and honestly, it just feels like you get a friend when you hire Kristin. She helped us feel comfortable for our photos and helped coordinate our day- always going above and beyond."
