Traverse City Family Photographer
Whether you're on vacation and want a photographer to document your time together, expecting a baby, celebrating a graduating senior, or a local family ready for updated photos, I'm the Traverse City family photographer you've been looking for.
I capture memorable moments full of smiles and laughter while helping everyone from toddlers to grandparents feel relaxed and at ease in front of the camera.
Meet Your Traverse City Family Photographer
Hi there, I'm Kristina, and I’m a firm believer that family photos shouldn't feel stiff, forced, or stressful — for you or your kids.
As a Traverse City family photographer, my whole approach is built around comfort and connection.
I'll guide you through easy prompts and playful interactions so the real personality of your family shines through, instead of a row of forced smiles.
My Goal as Your Traverse City Photographer
I believe God has given each of us a purpose, and I'm so thankful mine is creating genuine, joy-filled images for families throughout Traverse City and beyond.
I've photographed local families who just want updated portraits, out-of-towners on vacation who want to remember their trip to Northern Michigan, and everyone in between.
No matter your reason for reaching out, my goal stays the same: help you enjoy the experience and walk away with images that actually look like your family.
Laughter, Hugs, Smiles, & Memories
Every session is filled with genuine laughter, real hugs, and kids being kids, all set against the beautiful backdrops Northern Michigan has to offer, from sandy lakeshores to golden fields.
As your go-to Traverse City family photographer, I offer sessions for growing families, extended families, expecting mothers, graduating seniors, newborns, and every special moment in-between. Life is too short and it’s SO important to document your families milestones, and even have photoshoots “just because.”

Kristina is one of the most bubbly, infectiously happy individuals I know – this translates to an amazing photographer! She is so easy to work with, adults and kids alike. She knows how to be goofy to get your kids to smile and capture their personalities and her pictures are absolutely gorgeous. We can't recommend her enough!

We did extended family photos with Kristina and they turned out beautiful! She was so kind, fun to work with, and gave us so many beautiful family pictures! We had 17 people so it was a lot but she handled it with ease! 10/10 recommend.
“Kristina is so kind and fun to work with!”

It was our first family vacation as a family of three and I wanted some nice pictures to remember the occasion. Kristina made the process so easy from start to finish. She is so personable, easygoing, responsive and efficient with her work, and the outcome is beyond words! The best problem is needing to decide which pictures are my favorite. Thank you Kristina for capturing these special moments!
“I am so glad I found Kristina and I would re-book her again in a heartbeat!”
