After researching various photographers in the Des Moines and surrounding area, we hired Kristy to capture our newborn daughter. We fell in love with the way she captures newborns and their families. We booked her 6 months in advance after multiple written correspondences and also a phone conversation. Kristy created such a comfortable environment for both our daughter and us. She was nothing but safe and gentle when handling and posing our daughter. She used calming techniques that we even used in our own home after the session. Also, she has a great personality and was happy and calm throughout our entire session. She quickly had previews of the session posted on Facebook the same day. Her work is amazing! She made our daughter look like a little doll(we think she is a doll but are biased) and the images were just perfect! Kristy is well worth the investment and we intend to utilize her at 6 months and again at 1 year.
