let me tell you mine..
Hi, I’m Kristen — a self-taught photographer, mom, and someone who finds beauty in the simplest moments. Growing up on a small island on Canada’s east coast taught me to slow down and appreciate the little things — and that’s exactly what I aim to capture through my lens.
I’m here to document your life as it is — real, meaningful, and full of moments worth remembering.
I love random chats about life, traveling and creating art. When we meet, I can promise you 2 things - laughs till your stomach hurts as well as beautiful photo memories that we’ll create together.
Raw and Authentic Photography
Capturing light, feelings & moments and all the things in between people and life.

The Photographer
Kristen Hawley
I’m drawn to the moments most people miss — the quiet, messy, real parts of your wedding day that make it uniquely yours.
As a busy mom who loves the outdoors and simple things in life, I’ve learned the smallest moments matter most — and that’s what I capture.
My style is warm, documentary, and storytelling-focused, capturing how your day truly felt.
I’ll be your calm in the chaos, your hype girl, and your biggest cheerleader.
My belief is that every person should be framed in the moments they’ve felt the most loved and cared for.
Here to tell your story...
My Work Style
My style is a reflection of who I am — drawn to real, raw, and meaningful moments. I want you to leave your session feeling excited and connected to the magic we created together.
I’ll guide you with fun prompts (and yes, I’ll tell you what to do with your hands), so nothing ever feels awkward or forced.
I believe life is beautiful in every stage, and I’m here to document it all — the big moments and the little ones in between.

Editorial Photography
My approach to editorial photography is rooted in storytelling — blending natural moments with a refined, intentional feel. I aim to create images that feel both effortless and elevated, capturing genuine emotion while guiding you in a way that brings out your most natural self.
It’s about more than just how it looks — it’s about creating something that feels honest, artful, and timeless.
Wedding Photography
Your wedding day isn’t about perfect poses — it’s about real moments, real emotions, and everything in between. My approach is documentary in feel, focused on capturing your day as it naturally unfolds while gently guiding you when needed.
From the big, emotional moments to the quiet in-between ones, I’m there to tell your story honestly and intentionally — so you can relive not just how it looked, but how it truly felt.
My job is to tell your story and preserve it in a way that feels timeless. I’m here to guide you through it all, so you can be fully present and soak in every moment of your day.
