After seeing so many photos that Kristen had previously taken, I decided that when I came in to visit my family in Virginia, I would get her to take my photos. On the day of the shoot I was not feeling very well at all but Kristen Photography made me look like a million bucks! I have so many friends that ask me where I got the photos taken because they really like my pictures a lot, as well as my mother who lives in Clifton Forge, Virginia that tells me every day how someone will stop her and tell her how much they love the photos, and want to know who took them. Kristen makes you feel so comfortable when in front of the camera. I would definitely recommend her to anyone. I can’t wait until my son is born and we go back to Virginia to visit again because I will get her to take more photos!

Kristen Garten did a wonderful job taking our photos. She was fun and made us feel comfortable. We had our dogs at our shoot and she captured some great photos. She even held the two leashes while she snapped some pics of just my husband and me...talk about talent! I would recommend Kristen to anyone who wants photos taken. I can't wait to have her take more for me and my family!

We were introduced to Kristen's work by a family friend; she had posted photos of her kids online that Kristen had taken for her, and we were immediately impressed by the quality. We had Kristen take our own family photos and we were sold. Our photos came out looking great, the cost was an incredible value, and Kristen was a joy to work with; she was friendly, professional, and as an added bonus our normally-shy son loved her! Since that time we've had another photo shoot done with our son, we've scheduled another session for next month, and we've been telling everyone we know about what great work she's done. We can't recommend her enough!
