Welcome friend!

I’m Kristen with KB Photos & Design. I’m a wedding and portrait photographer based in the St. Louis area. I serve all corners of Missouri and occasionally travel for destination sessions. Welcome to my site!

We may not have met before, but we’ll be fast friends. I’m a bit of a people person (ENFJ / Enneagram 2). Being called personable, professional and creative are some of my highest compliments. During photoshoots, I hope to inspire your comfort and confidence so you look like - well like YOU in your photos!

I love eating chocolate. And playing competitive pickleball. But not at the same time. And I adore spending time with my husband and our two little boys. Travel is a huge passion of ours. One of my husband and I’s goals is to visit all 61 U.S. National Parks. Our favorite has been seeing the lava fields in Hawaii National Park. And we recently took our boys on a 14 day road trip across Utah, Colorado and Nevada.

Let’s chat about making some amazing images!

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

“Kristen took our engagement and wedding photos and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She is very professional, but so incredibly down to earth it’s hard not to feel like she is an old friend. Kristen took the time to get to know what mattered to us and really cared about capturing the moments that were meaningful. Wedding days are stressful, but Kristen and her photographer were both relaxed and organized, making it easy to enjoy our big day. She really captured the love between us, our family and friends, we will always treasure the beautiful memories that Kristen gave us.” —Patti, bride

“Kristen is very professional, organized, and reliable. Scheduling and ordering with her is a breeze! Her photos are absolutely beautiful and extremely high quality. She has an amazing talent for capturing moments and makes everyone look fantastic! I will use her for my photography needs again and again! Highly recommend!” —Jenny, mom

“Our daughter had her senior photos taken this fall by Kristen. From start to finish, the whole process was very simple and she was easy to work with. I was pleasantly surprised that the process started with a questionnaire so Kristen could get to know my daughter and her expectations/hopes for the shoot beforehand. Her contract and package options were very clear and thorough. At the shoot itself, Kristen was kind, professional and genuine. She was fair, if not generous with her time. Every timeline she gave was met and we are thrilled with the finished product. Thank you Kristen, for capturing our daughter's beauty, personality, and special season of life!” -Audrey, senior mom

“Kristen is an awesome and accomplished professional. She travelled with our family and friends to Mexico for our daughter and son-in-law’s beach wedding. Her photographs were nothing short of spectacular! She captured the essence and joy of that day and evening. Hands down, Kristen is amazing!” —Valerie, mom

“Kristen recently photographed our extended family to celebrate my parent's 60th wedding anniversary. She handled everything professionally, from scheduling and contract to confirming day-of details and managing tricky on-site lighting. Upon arriving, she was very flexible and friendly, helping us choose final backdrops and coaching everyone (including a resistant 2-yr-old!). The results: fantastic! Thanks for an extremely pleasant session, and truly beautiful photos that captured the family and anniversary couple just perfectly! We highly recommend Kristen!!” —Claudine, mom
