You don’t make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have LOVED.

the bridal experience

"Kristen is by far the most caring, easy person to work with. She is a true professional! She is assertive without being rude or pushy...always getting the shot she's aiming for. From the moment we met Kristen, my husband and I fell in love with her. She's simply amazing. And our photos...WOW!! I have found my new photographer!!" (Sara P. 06/2016)

Military homecomings

"Kristen is absolutely incredible!! Her professionalism is second to none and all our communication leading up to the shoot was superb. On the day of the event, there was a last minute change in plans which meant everything was moved up by several hours. Kristen was on top of it and went above and beyond to accommodate the unavoidable change in plans. It meant the world to me knowing that she'd be there to capture the special moment in spite of the change. During the shoot she was attentive and worked quickly to get the perfect shots since my husband isn't the photograph loving type. She was able to capture some truly unforgettable moments that I will cherish forever. I can't thank her or recommend her enough!!" (Anna M. 05/2016)

 

engagement images

"Kristen did an amazing job with our engagement photos! I cannot say enough about how happy we are with our whole experience and the beautiful pictures. My fiancé and I aren't big fans of getting our picture taken, but Kristen made the whole experience incredibly fun and memorable (as you can see by the many photos of us smiling and laughing)!! She made us feel so comfortable that it was more like hanging out with a good friend than actually having a photo session. As a result of that, we look very natural in every picture! I will be recommending Kristen to everyone I can, and I definitely plan on scheduling more sessions with her in the future! Thank you so very much, Kristen for capturing such beautiful moments for use to cherish forever!" (Jill S. 02/2016)

family reunion portraits

"Kristen did an amazing job with our VERY large group this week!  She was prompt in all her communications and helpful with all my questions and concerns. Being from out of town, I knew we would only get one shot at this, and she did great. The day of our session, she handled all 19 of us like pros. Even got the shy 5 year old comfortable and laughing. I looked at 8 different photographers in the area, and she is by far the best price/quality we could have gotten. I highly highly recommend her." (Deborah C. 06/2016)

Savoring Life Intensely...

Even every hundredth of a Second

 

I'm so glad you popped in to find out a little more about Captivated Photography! My name is Kristen and I am a devoted wife, mother, exclusive Buyer's Agent with the Luxury Movers Team at Coldwell Banker HPW, as well as a passionately creative photographer living in Apex, North Carolina with my amazing husband, our two precious children, and our fluffy Newfoundland mix, June. 

My mission is to capture the essence of each client. Clients walk away from each session or event feeling like they've simply talked and laughed their way through their experience. Portrait sessions are unique for each client because I tailor each experience for the individual or group. If you have a vision, I'm happy to make it a reality!
