mentoring with kristine

If you don't know me already, I'm Kristine. I'm a mom of 3, a former elementary school teacher and a seasoned portrait photographer with over 12 years of experience. My journey started just like yours, with a camera and a desire to tell stories through the art of portraiture. Over the years, I've honed my craft, built a successful photography business, and had the privilege of working with incredible clients.


Whether you're a beginner eager to grasp the fundamentals or an experienced photographer seeking to refine your technique, mentoring can make a world of difference. I want to offer you a learning experience tailored to your need and my technical expertise.
