HI THERE!
"I'm Kristi"
I'm a passionate photographer based in Duluth, Minnesota with a keen eye for capturing moments. I specialize in many categories from newborn, milestone moments, local and destination weddings, family, lifestyle, engagement, themed mini's like fairy and princess to milk baths and smash cakes. I also do customizable sessions to tailor to your individual needs. Feel free to explore the site and message me for a free consultation.
Through my lens, I aim to convey emotions, tell stories, and capture the beauty of the world around us by documenting life's special moments whether in my studio or on location.
When I'm not behind a camera, you can find me with my wonderful 8 kiddos(7 boys & 1 girl), 2 dogs, and a very supportive husband. I'm an avid reader of christian and parenting books, sucker for fostering puppies, love to be in my gardens and I have a love/hate relationship with Pinterest.
Let's capture unforgettable memories together!"

"Kristi was amazing with my 6 year old daughter! Made her feel really special and had her laughing! The photos she takes are absolutely amazing! I will forever be going to her for all our future photos! I highly recommend Impressions by Kristi as her love for taking photos really shows through the pictures she takes!'

"Kristi was wonderful with my rowdy kids, she got them to smile for more pictures than I've gotten in their entire lives! Haha. It was so much fun to have our photos taken with her and the photos are amazing! Not only was she professional and fun to work with, but her prices are a great deal. I would highly recommend Kristi for you family photos!"

"Kristi is super easy to work with and she did such an amazing job with our 2 year old, keeping him entertained and smiling during the session. We love the photos she bookend the end product is exactly what we were wanting!"

"We booked for the Mommy and Me Mini sessions by Kristi. Finding the studio was easy and clearly marked. This was our first time doing a studio session like this and she made it seamless. Kristi even has extra little outfits and props for the younger kiddos if you are unsure of what you want!
She was able to seamlessly shift gears when my little man got hungry, and shift into doing some breastfeeding shots, which if you don't have, you should!
Overall, when I got the photos back, what could I say except 😍 I absolutely loved them. She captured my little man and me to a T. She got smiles, and detail shots. My husband even said she captured the nicest smile out of me in a photo he had seen in a while.
Cost wise, I think was really reasonable. I had asked some friends in other areas what they were paying for minis and they said this was a good price for what we were getting in comparison.
When in doubt, give Impressions by Kristi a try. We for sure can't wait to do other mini sessions with her!"

"Kristi was incredible for us. We did a newborn session with her. Our son was not cooperative at first. I ended up feeding him and trying to calm him. Kristi is clearly a mother and understood how I felt. She was patient and kind. Once we got things rolling she was innovative and creative with the shots. She made our pictures feel different from everyone else. They were unique to us! They told our story and were exactly what we were looking for. We are now going to use her for family photo shoot later next month! Thank you Kristi!"

"Kristi did a wonderful job with our Easter Mini Session! Easy process to book and communication and planning before the session was great. She and her daughter did great working with our toddler's wide range of emotions. The photos turned out great! We look forward to seeing what other kinds of sessions she offers in the future!"
