About
Kirstin
I traded the hustle of New York City for the blue skies of South Florida. The camera came with me.
Now I make headshots, brand portraits, and fine art for companies and the people behind them. I love working with teams. And I always overdeliver.

Master's degree in fine art
Studied lighting and editorial photography at the International Center of Photography in NYC

What Sets Kirstin Apart
A Creative Director
Behind the Scenes.
My path here wasn't a straight line. I went to cooking school, baked bread for Ina Garten at Barefoot Contessa, and plated desserts at Le Bernardin in NYC, taking classes at the Art Students League between shifts. Then I went back to school full time for a master's in fine art, studying painting, photography, and design, and interned at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
I'm also one of 200 associate photographers in the US with Headshot Crew, founded by Peter Hurley.
And I'm a team player who delivers magazine-quality images, every time. When a job calls for it, I scale up. For a 300-person conference at the Hilton, I put together a team of three photographers so nothing was missed.
I also noticed my clients putting beautiful images on terrible websites. So when COVID brought sessions to a screeching halt, I got certified in digital marketing and website design. Now many clients bring me in as their creative director to put the finishing touches on their marketing, with monthly full-service packages for those who want it all handled.
The One Frame
There's Always
One Image.
Every shoot has one. The frame that stops you cold. It tells the whole story, and it's hard to believe how easily it could have never happened. A casual gesture between poses. The second someone forgets the camera is there.
That image is the reason I do this.
