Golden hour on your stretch of coast.

Family, senior and couples photography shot in the last light of the day, above the water in San Pedro and Palos Verdes. Warm film tones. Very little posing. The photos end up looking like you.

Hi, I’m Kirsten

I don’t say “everybody look here.”

I shoot warm and a little grainy, with a film finish that leans seventies. It means your kid gets to be seven years old instead of performing being seven years old.

A session with me is mostly walking, talking, and me staying out of the way with the camera up. I’ll nudge you when things stall. The best frame of the day is almost never the one where everybody was ready.
