Kristen Campbell Photography

Kristen Campbell Photography Now accepting inquiries for June 2025 in the Napa Valley and beyond. I promised myself that if I could help it, I'd never let this happen to anyone ever again.

Growing up, I always thought I would be a teacher or nurse, or something along those lines since both of those occupations run deep in my family. But, it wasn't until I was unexpectedly left without a photographer just 2 days before my own wedding that I knew EXACTLY what I would be doing with the rest of my life. So, I went to Best Buy and purchased my very first camera and started photographing

everything I could. After a couple of years of taking photos of every variety, I realized my passions lie within weddings and growing families.

“But our house doesn’t look like the ones on Instagram"

I hear this ALL the time from new parents considering in-home sessions. And I get it. It can feel vulnerable to invite someone in when the house is lived-in, the laundry’s out, and you’re running on 3 hours of sleep in a body that doesn't feel your own.

But let me tell you what I’ve seen…

This entire session took place in one room...
A 10x12 nursery in military housing (iykyk).
One big window. A gold-framed mirror. And a whole lot of love.

They didn’t clean every room. We didn’t style every corner.
We used the best-lit space, and let their connection lead the way.

✨ If you’re in the Bay Area wondering if an in-home newborn session could work in your space…I'm here to tell you, it can.

Your home doesn’t need to be magazine-ready.
It just needs you.

The countdown has begun—Holly & Jason are officially less than 30 days away from saying 'I do!' 🎉 Weddings are a whirlwind of emotions, from the nervous anticipation before walking down the aisle to the all-out joy on the dance floor. And my job? Making sure those fleeting moments aren’t just remembered but truly felt every time you look back at your photos.

As we get closer to their big day, I can’t help but think about how important it is to have a photographer who gets you—someone who understands your vision, knows how to bring out your best in front of the camera, and makes the whole process feel effortless. That’s exactly what I aim to do for every couple, so when your wedding day flies by (because trust me, it will!), you have images that take you right back to the love, laughter, and magic.

Holly & Jason’s wedding day is almost here, and I can’t wait to share their story! Stay tuned!!!

Dreaming of an intimate wedding at Lanikuhonua that feels and looks this stunning? ✨ From capturing the ocean breeze in those epic flying veil shots to guiding you through portraits so they feel natural and fun (even if you're camera-shy like Vincent was at first!), my goal is to make sure you get timeless, joy-filled images without the stress.

Beth & Vincent’s wedding was filled with so much love, faith, and a little Elvis magic—plus a saber arch exit and a sunset reception under the palms. Their day was proof that the right mix of location, lighting, and direction makes all the difference in your photos.

If you’re planning your own Lanikuhonua wedding, let’s chat about how I can help you get the dreamy, effortless images you’re envisioning! 💛

2.5 years in the making! If you saw my stories you’d know that this series of images is something I saw in my head but couldn’t quite make the timing work. It is so satisfying seeing the mental image in my head come to life!

What an incredible surprise we experienced during my latest maternity session! 🎉 As we were capturing their growing family in the beautiful surroundings of the Legion of Honor in San Francisco, the dad-to-be pointed out a proposal happening just a few yards away. It was such a magical moment, and I couldn't help but jump into action to capture those fleeting seconds as they unfolded. 💍✨

Witnessing a moment this monumental unfold in real-time was a wonderful reminder of how these moments can change the trajectory of our lives forever. Every proposal, every yes, and every tear of joy contributes to the beautiful journey of love and family. It’s moments like these that I cherish the most in my work as a wedding photographer. I feel so privileged to be part of such significant milestones in people’s lives, whether it's capturing engagements, weddings, or growing families.

If you're celebrating a life-changing moment or know someone who is, let's connect! I'd be honored to help you hold onto these memories with timeless, heartfelt photos. 💖

Want to get the most out of your wedding florals? 🌸 Here's how you can repurpose your ceremony arrangements to create a stunning reception space:

✨ Lining the Aisles → Elevated Centerpieces
Those beautiful arrangements that line your aisle can quickly transform into tall, elegant centerpieces at your reception. It's a great way to maximize your decor and create visual impact at your tables.

✨ Ceremony Backdrop → Sweetheart Table
Your ceremony arch or floral backdrop can double as the centerpiece behind your sweetheart table. It creates a romantic focal point and ties your day together beautifully.

✨ Loose Florals → Bar & Cake Table Decor
Any extra blooms or greenery from the ceremony can be reused to dress up your bar, gift table, or even your cake display for a cohesive look.

Pro tip: Share this idea with your planner and florist—they’ll help coordinate the transitions seamlessly while you enjoy cocktail hour! 🍷

If you’re dreaming of a Napa wedding, I’d love to help you capture every detail—from your ceremony blooms to the final dance of the night. Let’s chat about making your day effortlessly beautiful and unforgettable.

Planning a city hall engagement session? You're in for an incredible experience! 🌟 San Francisco City Hall is not just a venue; it's an architectural masterpiece that provides the perfect backdrop for your session. But before you book that date, here are some essential tips to keep in mind to ensure your session goes off without a hitch.

First, remember that the building is open for sessions only on weekdays. If you're aiming for that golden hour glow, afternoons are ideal for lighting, although they tend to get busier. For a more intimate feel, consider scheduling your session early in the morning when the space is quieter and the light is still soft and beautiful.

When it comes to outfits, think elegance! This iconic location deserves equally stunning attire. Skip the jeans and casual wear; instead, opt for something that reflects the grandeur of your surroundings. Choose colors and styles that resonate with the architecture and vibe of City Hall.

Lastly, strategize your shoot! With three levels of breathtaking architecture, you’ll want to make the most of your time. Discuss with your photographer which iconic elements you want to capture—be it the grand staircase, the ornate arches, or the stunning windows on the third floor. Planning ahead ensures you maximize your session, especially if you’re considering a second location nearby.

I’d love to hear from you! What’s your best tip for visiting San Francisco City Hall? Share your thoughts in the comments below! 💬

Golden hour at Crissy Field East Beach Park followed by the timeless elegance of the Legion of Honor—two iconic San Francisco spots that offer completely different vibes, all in one session.

Starting by the water, the soft coastal light and neutral tones created a serene, relaxed feel, perfect for capturing timeless moments. As the evening unfolded, the romantic architecture of the Legion of Honor added a chic, dramatic touch, proving why this location is a favorite for portraits.

San Francisco truly offers endless opportunities for stunning backdrops that tell your unique story. Whether you're celebrating a milestone, like this maternity session, or capturing another chapter in your life, there’s a perfect spot waiting for you.

Thinking about your San Francisco engagement session? Let’s talk outfits and florals! 🌸

When planning your engagement session, think about your outfits as an extension of your wedding style—timeless, cohesive, and true to you. Neutral tones with soft pops of color always work beautifully against San Francisco’s iconic backdrops. 🕊️ Adding a bouquet? It’s the perfect touch to elevate your photos!

💡 Why include a bouquet?
1️⃣ It adds movement and texture, especially when walking or twirling shots are part of the plan.
2️⃣ It’s a great way to tie your wedding colors into the session.
3️⃣ It makes for a fun prop, adding variety to your gallery!

If you’re considering it, keep your bouquet petite and elegant—a natural complement, not a distraction. Think seasonal blooms or something that hints at your wedding florals. 🌿

What are your thoughts—bouquet or no bouquet for your engagement session? Let me know in the comments! 💍
