Kirsten was absolutely perfect in every way on my daughter's wedding day! She and her assistant had the best patience in the midst of a crazy busy day. Babies and little ones were even good for pictures thanks to Kirsten's fun tactics. Her talent showed thru in all of the photos. From the simple to the one of a kind photos, we could have not asked for a better photographer! Photos of the dove release turned out awesome, as well. Kirsten and team were more than ready for them! KWP has great packages to choose from, and my daughter felt like she was very responsive to all her questions. The value far exceeded our expectations especially after the previews came back. Highly recommend KWP!!

Kirsten is absolutely THE BEST!!! I am a Realtor downtown and I sponsor Pictures with Santa every year in my neighborhood. Kirsten always does stellar work and her fun personality add to the fun of the event! She also does all of my real estate team group photos, headshots, etc. Respectfully submitted, Rob Measel

Kirsten was such a delight to work with. Always quick to help with any questions I had and willing to walk me through the details for the entire shoot. Made both myself and my fiancé feel super comfortable and the pictures turned out better than we could have imagined! Will be using Kirsten again very soon for our wedding!
