NOT EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL BEHAVES.
.
THE GOOD. THE BAD. THE BEAUTIFULLY UNPLANNED.
Some moments announce themselves. Others happen between breaths
The quiet before a match. The tears nobody saw coming. The laughter that interrupts a perfectly serious photograph. The look on someone's face when everything changes.
Those are the moments I watch for.
My work is bold, colorful, emotional, and occasionally a little unconventional.
Because a photograph should do more than show you what happened.
It should make you feel it all over again.
DIFFERENT EVENTS.
SAME HUMAN CHAOS.
A championship match and a wedding ceremony have more in common than you'd think.
Nerves. Anticipation. Emotion.
People trying to hold themselves together while something important happens.
I love photographing the moment they stop trying.
SPORTS & ACTION
THE MOMENT DOESN'T WAIT. NEITHER DO I.
The takedown. The submission. The celebration. The heartbreak.
And everything happening just outside the spotlight.
From jiu-jitsu and grappling to professional wrestling, I'm looking for more than the winning move.
The coach losing their mind. The exhausted athlete finding their family. The reaction that says everything without a single word.
The action matters. So does everything around it.
LOVE IS BEAUTIFUL. PEOPLE ARE HILARIOUS.
Weddings, surprise proposals, elopements.
The anticipation. The happy tears. The unexpected laughter. The people who know exactly how to make you lose your composure.
Weddings are full of beautiful moments.
They're also full of wonderfully human ones.
I photograph both.
Artful imagery, genuine connection, and a little room for the unexpected.
PERSONALITY LOOKS GOOD ON YOU.
Athletes. Families. Couples. Individuals.
You don't need to know what to do with your hands.
You don't need a perfect smile.
And you definitely don't need to become someone else for the camera.
We'll create something that looks like you, feels like you, and maybe shows you a side of yourself you haven't seen before.
THE PERSON BEHIND THE CAMERA.
Photographer. Jiu Jitsu competitor. Mom. Professional multitasker. Occasionally the loudest person in the room.
I'm Kris.
I have a thing for big emotions, interesting people, dramatic lighting, and the moments that happen when nobody's paying attention to the camera.
My approach is equal parts observation, anticipation, and knowing when to get out of the way.
I'm comfortable in the middle of a chaotic competition venue, directing a room full of people, or quietly documenting a moment that deserves a little space.
I'm also pretty good at making people feel comfortable being themselves.
Which is convenient, because that's exactly who I want to photograph.
COME AS YOU ARE.
NO PERFORMANCE REQUIRED.
You can be camera-shy.
You can be loud, quiet, awkward, sentimental, sarcastic, or a combination of all five.
You can bring your entire personality.
You don't need to practice your smile or pretend to be someone you're not.
I'll provide direction when it's helpful, step back when the moment calls for it, and pay attention to the things that make your story yours.
The goal isn't perfection.
It's photographs that feel like you.
HAVE SOMETHING WORTH REMEMBERING?
A competition. A wedding. A milestone. A person. A perfectly ordinary day that deserves to be anything but ordinary.
Tell me what you're planning. We'll figure out how to photograph it.
Whether you're stepping onto the mats, walking down the aisle, or just showing up as yourself, my job is to make sure you have photographs you're genuinely excited to see.
Let's make something worth looking at.
