Are you ready for one heck of a good time?
say cheeese…
heck nooo, definitely not my style!
So what if having your photo taken was as fun as an afternoon spent with your loved ones – – laughing your butts off + forgetting the camera was even there???
Because I’m not about awkward poses, but rather those perfectly-imperfect, REAL moments that happen while y’all are having fun!
I’m about capturing who you really are.
The little things and those big feelings, like the look of pure, radiating bliss when you’re embracing someone you love.
So if you’re fueled by sandy toes & salt air, down to play in the waves + see my little Chihuahua Gidget do tricks for ya, obsessed with breathtaking sunsets, and value your experience over perfectly posed photographs, you’re gonna have a hard time picking out a favorite photo from a session with me…because they all are gonna be 100% authentically you!

I’m Kristen

it’s nice to meet ya!!!

a little about me...
Not too many moons ago I retired from the hustle and bustle of the NYC corporate banking world, trading in my heels for a surfboard and camera in Costa Rica. I’m a lifestyle photographer, a wave dancer, and a sunset chaser, splitting time between the surf town of Tamarindo, Costa Rica and the Oak lined squares of Savannah, Georgia.
Whether it be your Wedding, Family Session, Elopement, to any of those Beautiful Lifestyle Moments In-Between, I can’t wait to welcome you to the Samba to the Sea familia. You bring the love + happiness, and I’ll capture your everyday magic!
