KRISTIN IBISON
WORK WITH US
EMILY WEST
I'm all about creating photos that feel like you- timeless, cool, a little editorial, and full of real connection. I believe everyone has something beautiful about them, and one of my favorite things is helping people see that through the images we create. Whether it is a wedding, a maternity session, or personal branding, my goal is always the same: to make you feel seen, celebrated, and like you're starring in your own editorial spread.
I love that moment when everything clicks- when you're laughing, having fun, and forgetting there's even a camera. Photographing gives me this creative adrenaline- it's fun, it's personal, and it's a little bit of magic. Emily and I have been creating together for years, and we thrive off each other's energy, always pushing each other to see bigger and dream better. We want your photos to feel timeless, effortless and joy-filled. Images you'll return to again and again, remembering not just how you looked, but how good it all felt.
I see photography as storytelling- and I'm drawn to the quiet, unexpected moments that speak the loudest. I'm the detail spotter, and the one chasing those warm, authentic frames that feel timeless and a little cinematic.
I love film for its soul- the softness, the imperfection, the happy accidents. I lean on digital when I need consistency and control. No matter the format, I want each client to feel fully seen and to walk away thinking, that's exactly what I had in mind- or better.
Working alongside Kristin is like creative alchemy. We balance each other's strengths, bounce ideas constantly, and are each other's biggest supporters. Together, we shoot, edit, direct and obsess over every detail to bring your story to life in a way that feels both effortless and intentional.

We eloped out of state and shot at multiple locations with different props and poses. Throughout the entire process Emily was patient and kind, gently guiding or instructing us when needed. She made us both feel so comfortable and calm throughout the entire process. And if that weren't enough, the end result of out finished photos brought me to tears. It's as if Emily somehow bottled the essence of our wedding day and gave it to me to keep and cherish forever, I truly can't sing her praises enough.

Kristin has always and will forever by my absolute favorite photographer. She's punctual, works with my crazy schedule, was willing to travel over an hour to do my maternity shoot and above all else makes me feel fully comfortable and confident during each shoot. She helps me find the best poses, cheers you on and makes you feel so beautiful. Kristin has captured so many phases of my life. You are most definitely in safe hands with her. Once the photoshoot is done she always sends sneak peeks. Prepare to be absolutely amazed when the final images are returned. It's always a pleasure booking with the best.
