Whenever I book a session, I try to educate my clients on what to wear for their portrait session: Solid colored, neutral tones work best. Try to stay away from super busy patterns. Coordinate your family, but you don’t have to all wear the exact same shirts. Accessorize and don’t forget cute shoes! But...
This past year was very exciting for Kristina Lynn Photography & Design. With expanding my design division as well as photographing a record number of weddings and portrait sessions, there was never a dull moment in the studio. And so far 2012 is proving to be quite exhilarating as well – closing one location...

Matt & Megan are the most laid back couple I have ever had the pleasure of working with. They are up for absolutely anything and really gave me creative freedom not only on their engagement session but their entire wedding design suite (more on that later in a different post!).

Kelly & Nolan are one of my couples that live in the Twin Cities but are getting married back in Iowa, in Kelly’s hometown, this coming fall. So to get the best of both worlds, we decided to do their engagement session up in the Twin Cities to tie that part of their life...
So the past couple months have been a whirl wind for me – and it’s definitely evident by my lack of blog posts! So it’s time to get back in the swing of things and get this thing updated, so in the upcoming days/weeks/etc look for lots of new blog posts about my fabulous...
You may remember this super photogenic couple from the post featuring their engagement session a few months back. I can’t believe how fast time has flown and now I’ve photographed Anthony & Miriam’s wedding day! Pretty sure these guys get the award for Most Organized Wedding for the year (I know this is only...
