Hey there, I’m Kristen
Your go-to girl for capturing the most exciting year of your life
With over 6 years of experience with senior portraits and weddings, I built my senior experience to be the exact opposite of what I felt in high school - intimidating, judgmental, and something only the “cool girls” had. That’s why I created my one of a kind senior experience designed around inclusivity, confidence, and kindness, so that every senior walks away having an unforgettable experience they carry with them for the rest of their lives. From helping you choose the perfect outfits (hello, client closet and local boutique partnerships!) to capturing the kind of jaw-dropping, scroll-stopping images you’ll want to post everywhere, I’m here to make sure your senior year or wedding is documented in the most incredible way. I still take on a select few weddings each year, carefully balancing my calendar to ensure every couple receives the dedication, care, and energy it deserves.
Newly married to my husband, Zac, in October 2024.
Chipotle catered our wedding.
It was a hit!
Pre-session playlist? Anything Taylor Swift.
I’ve lived in 5 states, visited 38 states and 7 countries so far!
Our weekends consist of a long walk with our dogs at a park and then Chipotle for lunch.
Secret Talent: I can calm the craziest of days (thanks, Navy training)
Guilty Pleasure: Survivor, husband and I are hooked!
Biggest Joy: Seeing my clients light up when I show them a sneak peek from the back of my camera.

MEET THE KNP TEAM
every client deserves to feel taken care of and celebrated, even when my calendar fills up. That’s why I’ve built the KNP Associate Team — a group of talented photographers personally trained by me to capture the same joyful, elevated experience you’ve come to expect.
Here’s how it works:
- Same experience, same packages. Associates photograph the exact same collections I offer, just at a lower price point.
- Personally trained. Associates go through a hands-on onboarding process with me, Kristen, to ensure every detail from lighting to posing to client care matches the KNP standard.
- My support behind the scenes. I still handle all planning, communication, and editing — so the photos you receive are fully consistent with the K Nicole Photography look and feel.
Whether you book with me or one of my associates, you’ll always get the luxury experience that makes K Nicole Photography special.
SAMANTHA
Lead Associate Photographer
Samantha brings a wealth of experience to the KNP Associate Team, specializing in all stages of motherhood photography. From pregnancy announcements and maternity, to newborn and family sessions. Her ability to capture life’s most meaningful, fleeting moments is exactly why she’s such a beautiful addition to the KNP team.
A wife and mom to a two-year-old boy, Samantha and I actually met years ago when I photographed her wedding as a second photographer, and we’ve been connected ever since. She’s also a wedding planner, dance instructor, and an incredibly talented photographer who brings warmth, creativity, and professionalism to every session.
Samantha is currently accepting new clients for Fall 2025 through Spring 2026.
