While I typically work in Chicago, I occasionally work as an Indiana senior photographer and an Indiana graduation photographer. Come check out work from clients in Northwest Indiana in Munster!
Northwest Indiana Senior Photographer
My clients were looking for a combination of photos for this siblings photoshoot: eighth grade graduation photos, and a mix of senior and graduation photos for their high school graduate.
We split up the time equally between the two siblings and also made time for some photos with the two of them together. The clients chose a nearby park that was meaningful to them, and I love how we were able to get some beautiful variety for each of their family’s graduates.
Northwest Indiana Graduation Photographer
For this session, the client wanted a mix of cap and gown photos and some more classic senior photos without the graduation regalia. I love the variety we were able to get during the photoshoot! Because we were in a city park – Centennial Park in Munster, IN – we had a variety of different backdrops to choose from, from gravel-lined paths and tree allées, to an amphitheater and formal garden, to a bridge with water views.
I love these photos of this high school graduate throwing his cap in the air and walking away – what a fun pose!
Purdue Graduation Photos
A special note: as I have connections in West Lafayette, I am very happy to travel down to take Purdue graduation photos for interested students in late May or during the summer for those graduating at the end of summer. Just reach out and let’s get the ball rolling!
Client Review
Here’s what my client had to say about her experience working with me:
Being the procrastinator that I am, I spent my downtime at work browsing the internet in search of a quality photographer for my son’s senior pictures. May was approaching and I had long missed the 2023 July deadline for his school. I came across Kristen’s website and immediately fell in love with her portfolio. Kristen promptly responded to my inquiry and additional questions that I had, which was much appreciated because of time constraints. Again, I love Kristen’s portfolio. However, besides her amazing photos, what made me choose Kristen was her kindness. Her messages felt so “warm and kind”, I “just knew” she was the perfect match for my family. Overall, booking with Kristen was seamless!
The photoshoot – My kids are usually camera shy, but Kristen was able to effortlessly help them feel comfortable with her warmth and kindness! My children had a great time during the photoshoot. We were at our local park, and it melted my heart seeing my children take senior/8th grade pictures at the park they loved as children.
The photos – My jaw dropped when I first seen the photos. Seeing my son and daughter with those big, beautiful smiles made me teary eyed, especially my son considering he’s “blah” 99.9% of the time. I can’t thank Kristen enough for the memories she helped create for us with these beautiful pictures. I love the photos and find myself browsing through them multiple times a week since receiving them. I plan to purchase prints soon.
My husband and I plan to book Kristen this fall for family photos, we love her work!
