Because really, that's what our lives are made up of. Every day that I visit (which is every day!) I'm glad I found Kristin in the huge flickrverse, and glad that I can call her a friend. My pictures are better off because of her, as am I. :D Love ya, mama!

Through her brilliance, I'm inspired to look closer and find the light and life in everything around me.

I am always in awe of her gorgeous photos that reflect her daily life. Being a mom myself I see the beauty of everyday in her work...the moments with your children, the change of the seasons, the beauty of the ordinary. The stuff that normally passes by un-noticed...she captures it...and so beautifully. Kristin..you are an inspiration to me. Your work has so much emotion in it. It feels so warm and home-like. I inspire to be a better photographer because of you. xxx

If I were to describe Kristin's photographs in one word I would describe them as, "sunshine". Kristin has an innate ability to capture beauty, mood, and subject in the most ethereal quality of light. To me, this is what the art of photography is all about. The delicate balance between subject and light. Anyone can take a photograph but it takes a true artisan to bring that photograph to life. Kristin without fail does that and so much more. I am truly honored and blessed to have been given the opportunity to get to know her as a person and as the photographic artist she is as well.

Kristin, my friend. You rock my world. You take photos that are positively luscious. Magical. Beautiful. I can sit down after a full meal, see one of your food photos, and be hungry again. Your nature photos? Seem like they've been taken throught the eyes of a wood sprite. And your children? Camera loves 'em, gir… Read more
