About Kirstin Rilee Photography
Hey, I’m Kirstin - photographer, chronic sunset chaser, and firm believer that your photos should feel like you, not a Pinterest pose you’re trying to recreate.
I’ve been photographing people for 13 years now, and I still feel incredibly lucky that this is what I get to do. I started my business in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and four years ago I made the move to St. Pete, Florida - trading open fields for palm trees, Gulf sunsets, and a whole lot of sand in my camera bag.
My approach is laid-back, but intentional. I want your photos to feel effortless, elevated, and completely true to you. Nothing overly stiff, nothing forced, and definitely nothing that feels like you’re just checking “family photos” off the to-do list.
I’ll guide you through the entire session so you never have to wonder what to do, but I’ll also leave room for the moments that happen naturally - the laughter, the windblown hair, the little glances, the kids being kids, and all the in-between things you can’t really plan for.
I photograph families, couples, maternity, and the seasons of life that deserve to be remembered beautifully. My goal is to create images that feel polished without losing personality - the kind that look beautiful framed on your walls, but still feel like your actual life.
And while I take the final images seriously, the session itself doesn’t have to feel serious. Expect movement, laughter, a lot of encouragement from behind the camera, and probably me telling you your outfit is perfect within the first five minutes.
At the end of the day, I want this to feel like an experience, not just a photo shoot. Something easy, fun, and worth getting dressed up for - with images you’ll love now and still love years from now.
Come as you are. I’ll take care of the rest.
