Hey there!
My name’s Kristen & my pronouns are she/her. I’m a theatre, music and nature nerd + photographer with a deep love for capturing the magic that happens both on and off stage.
I’m based in Rhode Island. I specialize in documenting authentic moments through a photojournalistic approach. I look forward to working with you and telling your unique story through my lens!
I’ve been hooked on photography since I was 13, starting with disposable cameras and a heavy, ancient video camera. What began as a hobby quickly turned into a lifelong passion. One that brings me joy, purpose, & endless inspiration.
Today, my main photography work is with Rhode to Broadway, an incredible organization, dedicated to training and inspiring young performers. Through Broadway Master Classes, student productions, & close collaboration with Broadway professionals; we equip kids & teens with the tools they need to grow - not just as artists, but as confident, creative individuals.
As their lead photographer, I take a documentary-style approach to capturing the full experience. From rehearsals, and behind-the-scenes/backstage moments to the energy & excitement of tech rehearsals and master classes. I love telling the story of these young artists as they learn, express themselves, and shine on stage.
Outside the theatre, I’m extremely passionate about nature photography. I’m especially drawn to birds, insects, and those weirdly magical moments that most people miss - like early mornings in the rain, golden light filtering through fog, or a spider web catching the sun just right. Being outdoors with my camera is one of my happiest places. It’s peaceful and raw.
I believe great photos start with real connection. I take my work seriously, but not myself. I aim to create a fun, relaxed environment where people can be themselves and feel comfortable in front of the lens.
I’m always learning and pushing myself creatively, because I believe growth is the key to great art. And I’m a big believer in printing your memories because digital is temporary, but a photo you can hold onto lasts a lifetime.
