Preserving a lifetime of memories is more than capturing moments—it’s creating a legacy. These photographs allow not just you, but generations to come, to connect with your story. Imagine your great-grandchildren looking back, discovering who you were, how you celebrated your love, and gaining a window into the world you lived in. It’s a timeless connection to your life, your love, and your history
Meet Kristen Essex
capturing Families, Horses, and elopements
Rooted in the quiet beauty of Vermont, I photograph love and life in their most honest forms, from heartfelt elopements to families growing through the seasons.
I believe photography should feel natural and true — a reflection of who you are, not a performance. My goal is to help you feel at ease in front of the camera, so we can create images that feel like you — genuine, artful, and lasting.
I’ve learned how deeply photographs can matter — how they preserve love and life long after the moment has passed. It’s why I approach every story with care, knowing these images will become heirlooms for years to come.
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me on our small Vermont dairy farm with my husband, kids, and my horse Susie — living the same kind of simple, beautiful moments I love to capture for others
A little about me!
