LanierStar Photography - Session Photography Near Me

See all

Top notch photography! Kristen is not only a talented photographer, she has an infectious, vibrant personality and is a blast to be around :) We did a mini session to update our family portrait last month. Kristen made it super simple and convenient. The price was very affordable and the session was quick and efficient....she did a great job getting my kids (and husband!) to cooperate. I was pleasantly surprised to get the proofs via email within the week -- AWESOME! We used the photos for our Christmas card and have received so many compliments...definitely our best family portrait ever! The photos were fantastic and she was able to capture a lovely, natural shot of my kids just being themselves (not cheesily posed!). Can't wait for another photo session! read more

Kristen photographed me and my family and the portraits were wonderful. The lighting was perfect and the environment was thoughtfully considered. She was absolutely professional in her work, fun to wrk with, and great with my daughter. It was overall a 5 Star experience. read more

Whenever you dream about your wedding day, you create images in your head of exactly what it will look like. You work hard on every detail to make sure that vision comes true. Kristen was able capture and represent every vision I had perfectly. She knew what was important to me, and didn't miss a moment. Even the saturation of color matched the moods. Kristen was professional, courteous, fun, and most of all, an artist - not just a photographer. Kristen was attentive prior to my event, discussing my exact needs, the type of photos of was looking for, my event flow, etc. Even when things slightly shifted (and I forgot to tell her) you wouldn't have known. Only halfway through the ceremony did I realize I may have neglected to share that we'd moved it to a different room. Needless to say, I was relieved to see beautiful ceremony photos included in my proofs. The last thing I wanted was a photographer I would have to worry over getting the perfect shot, or capturing a certain person or moment. Kristen over-delivered anywhere I had concern. I highly recommend LanierStar for wedding and portrait photography. read more

We decided to have a family beach portrait done while we were on vacation. I found Kristen from LanierStar online from a picture I saw on Pinterest and am so happy I did! Our vacation in that beautiful place has been forever captured by the wonderful pictures she took of our family at sunset. We could not be happier with the outcome! I usually don't like myself in pictures, but with these I am having a hard time choosing one favorite. Kristen was so much fun to work with. She made everyone so comfortable, that you forgot you were having your picture taken. The results were gorgeous,professional photos of our family at the beach. Highly recommended!! read more

Recently my family & I went on a business/pleasure trip to St. Augustine Beach. I always wanted some family pictures taken at the beach but never got around to it. I didn't have a lot of lead time to interview & research photographers before we left on our trip either. After frantically searching online for photographers in the area and sending out emails & phone calls, Kristen with LanierStar was one of the 2 that promptly replied. I looked at LanierStar's website photos & the summer special that was offered and felt that my "mother's intuition" was telling me to go with LanierStar. I am ECSTATIC that I DID!!! Kristin was fun, flexible, & easy to work with. She was able to "soften" and "sneak" my teenage boys (who REALLY didn't want to do this) enough to obtain some absolutely wonderful portrait-style & Fun-Loving, playful B & W style of photos that my "dreamy, romantic" heart truly wanted but didn't think I'd ever be able to obtain. As a part of my prepaid package, I received the proofs (website quality & printing/enlargement quality) via email with all of the rights to the numerous photos she took. I'm so glad that my "intuition & gut" was right! My dreams came true with my "dreamy" family photos on the beach and my pocket book didn't hurt too much either. Thanks Kristin! read more
