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.

Picture this, it is the middle of summer and your bridal party has been outside sweating while taking photos for over an hour. Everyone is annoyed. Hungry. And you just want some AC and a cold drink from the bar.

I have a feeling that is the LAST thing you want to happen and trust me, I don’t want this for you either.

But sadly, this can become a reality because the photographer doesn't have the ability to manage the wedding party or have any kind of plan in place so it ends up taking longer than necessary and winds up with people wandering off.

I have heard similar stories from many people in the past and this tends to be a common issue…
But, can I let you in on a little secret…I help my clients avoid this exact situation!

When it comes to wedding party portraits, I always approach it with a plan and some humor guaranteed to keep the attention of your wedding party members in order to accomplish this part of the day not only in a fun way, but efficiently!!

I have helped many of my clients avoid this exact problem and I won’t let you face it either!

Let me help you take this worry off of your plate and allow you to ( relax on your wedding day, feel confident at your session, etc )

WEDDING RECEPTION TIPS - PART 1
When planning your wedding reception, it's crucial to consider the flow of events to ensure a seamless and enjoyable experience for you and your guests. Here are my top tips to help you make the most of your special day!

First and foremost, scheduling key moments like the first dance, parent dances, and cake cutting early in the reception can ensure that your guests get to witness these significant moments before they start to leave. Keeping speeches concise and limited to a select few can also help maintain the attention of your guests and prevent them from feeling overwhelmed.

Consider skipping traditions like the garter toss, which may not resonate with everyone, and opt for more personalized and meaningful activities instead. Table shots are a great way to capture memories with your guests, but why not switch it up by inviting them to your sweetheart table for a group photo?

Lastly, staging a faux exit with your immediate family and wedding party can provide a memorable photo opportunity without the need for additional photography coverage. This allows you to continue enjoying the festivities without interruption.

Share your thoughts on these tips and let me know what other advice you'd like to see for planning your wedding reception! πŸ“ΈπŸ’

I always strive to make scheduling your session as easy as possible so that you don't have to stress about the process. Each and every time my clients leave reviews like this, it lets me know that my process is doing what it's supposed to do for you!! Thank you Naomi for sharing your experience with KCP.

I know just how important it is to support small businesses. They are the backbone of our communities and provide unique and personalized services that simply cannot be found elsewhere. That's why I always make an effort to leave a review after working with a small business, and I encourage you to do the same!

Your review can make all the difference for a small business owner. It can help them attract new customers, build their reputation, and ultimately grow their business. Plus, it feels great to know that you played a role in their success!

So, the next time you work with a small business, take a few minutes to write a heartfelt review. Share your experience, highlight what you loved about their service, and don't forget to give them a shoutout on social media. Trust me, it will mean the world to them!

Let's all do our part to support small businesses during these challenging times. Whether it's leaving a review, sharing a post, or making a purchase, every little bit helps. Together, we can make a difference in our communities and help small businesses thrive.

FIVE MINUTES!! Over the course of my career, I have invested THOUSANDS of dollars in education so that I can be the best possible photographer for each and every one of my couples and families. With crazy weather, including flooding in surrounding areas, and the inability to reschedule, we went for it and worked as efficiently as possible to capture some sweet memories to highlight their trip to Oahu. All of these were captured in less than 5 minutes.

So, WHY am I telling you this? Because who you hire to capture and document your memories matters! Their experience level matters. Being able to use time wisely matters. Having a posing system that works, matters. So choose someone who can thrive under pressure! Someone who can work quickly and efficiently while still producing stunning results. Someone who can think on their feet and come up with creative solutions when unexpected challenges arise. Someone who is passionate about their craft and dedicated to constantly improving.

As a photographer, I want you to know that you deserve the best. You deserve someone who will go above and beyond to make sure your memories are captured in the most beautiful way possible. Someone who will take the time to get to know you and your vision, and work with you to make it a reality.

So, if you're looking for a photographer who will give you the best possible experience, look no further. Whether it's for your wedding day, or capturing your growing family, I'm here for you.

Hi, I'm Kristen. Your light & colorful, natural light photographer who has been told I have the same sense of humor as a teenage boy...What can I say, I have a teenager!!

You may not know this, but my passion for photography, weddings in particular, started when my own wedding photographer didn't show up. That sense of dread is something I never want any of my couples to feel, so I have made it my personal mission to ensure that you are prepared for your wedding day and that you know you have a friend and professional in your corner to ensure your wedding day is as stress-free as possible.

My goal is to create a fun and relaxed atmosphere for you and your partner. I want you to feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera, so that I can capture the true essence of your relationship. Whether it's a silly moment or a romantic embrace, I will be there to capture it all.

So, if you're looking for a photographer who will make you laugh, help you feel comfortable, and capture the love between you and your partner, then let's chat! I can't wait to be a part of your big day and create memories that will last a lifetime.

UNPOPULAR OPINION: Your outfits can make or break your photos, so it's important to choose wisely.

When choosing your outfits, start by dressing the hardest person first. This could be the person who is most particular about what they wear or the person who has the most limited options in their wardrobe. Once the hardest person is dressed, you can coordinate the other outfits around theirs.

I always recommend at least one dressy outfit. This could be a long and flowy, or a cocktail dress for her and a suit or blazer for him. Dressing up adds an element of elegance and sophistication to your photos. It also gives you the opportunity to show off your style and personality.

Casual outfits are great for showing your playful and relaxed side and definitely recommended if you're going for a second outfit. Plus, they're usually more comfortable, which means you'll be able to move around and have fun during your session with poses that may otherwise be limited by the dressier outfits.

If you have insecurities in your arms, avoid sleeveless dresses. Remember, the most important thing is feeling confident in what you're wearing. If you feel great, it will show in your photos. So, take the time to plan your outfits and have fun with it!

Throwback to a beautiful collaboration with the talented who provided this stunning floral bouquet for a bridal session. Bridal sessions are a common practice in the southern states of the US and are a fantastic opportunity for brides to have a full trial run of their hair and makeup before the big day. It's also a chance for us photographers to capture some beautiful portraits of the bride in her stunning dress around the venue, whereas we wouldn't have the same amount of time on a wedding day.

One of the bridal portraits from this session is often displayed at the reception and serves as a cherished keepsake for the parents of the bride. As photographers, it's always a pleasure to capture these special moments that hold so much significance for the couple and their families.

Autumn's floral designs are truly breathtaking and this bouquet is no exception. The colors, textures, and overall design are stunning and add so much to the overall aesthetic of the portraits. It's important to remember that every detail of a wedding is chosen with care and holds meaning for the couple. As photographers, we strive to capture these details in a way that tells their unique story.

If you're a bride-to-be, I highly recommend scheduling a bridal session before your wedding day. It's a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera and to make any adjustments to your hair and makeup before the big day. And if you're a photographer, collaborating with other talented vendors, like Autumn, can take your work to the next level.

πŸ’πŸ“Έ TIP OF THE DAY!!!

Your engagement ring is a symbol of love and commitment, and it deserves to be showcased in the best possible way during your engagement session. As a photographer, I know how important it is to capture every little detail of your ring, from the cut and clarity to the color and carat.

To help make sure your ring looks its absolute best in your engagement photos, I recommend taking some time to clean it before your session. This will ensure that it's free of any dirt, grime, or residue that may have accumulated over time, and that it's ready to sparkle and shine in front of the camera.

There are a couple of ways you can clean your ring. One option is to take it to your local jeweler, who can clean it professionally and ensure that it's in good condition. Alternatively, you can clean it yourself using warm soapy water and a soft-bristled toothbrush. Just be sure to rinse it thoroughly and dry it off completely before your session.

Remember, your engagement session is all about celebrating your love and capturing this special time in your lives. By taking a few extra steps to ensure that your ring looks its best, you'll be able to treasure these photos for years to come.

Don't forget to share your own engagement ring cleaning tips in the comments below! And be sure to use the hashtags:

πŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’• There's nothing more rewarding than capturing beautiful moments that families can cherish for a lifetime. Rosie's review was a reminder of why I love doing what I do. It was an honor to work with her and her family, and seeing her appreciation for my work brought tears to my eyes.

I always strive to create a comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere during my photo sessions, so that my clients can let their guard down and truly be themselves in front of the camera. Rosie and her family were no exception - we had so much fun during our session, and I think that really shows in the photos.

If you're looking for a photographer who will not only take stunning photos, but also make you feel at ease and have a great time, then look no further! I would love to work with you and create memories that you will cherish for years to come.

Thank you again to Rosie and her family for choosing me as their photographer. It was truly a pleasure working with you all!
