A Goddess Session is an immersive outdoor boudoir experience photographed entirely on medium format film here in Durham, North Carolina and throughout the Triangle. These sessions are designed for women who feel ready to reconnect with their power in a way that is grounded, intentional, and deeply embodied. We choose secluded natural locations where light moves softly through trees and across water, allowing the landscape to become part of your story. Film slows us down. Each frame is created with care, giving space for breath, movement, and presence. This is fine art boudoir photography rooted in nature, connection, and the reclamation of your divine feminine.
Working with me is both artistic and connective.
If you feel called to this work but want to begin more gently, a Priestess Session offers a beautiful entry point. It carries the same artistic intention and spiritual depth in a slightly simpler format, making it a grounded first step into this experience together. Whether you choose Priestess or Goddess, both are invitations to reconnect with your inner strength and step more fully into your own divine feminine. would be proud of if your grandchildren caught a glimpse one day.
As a labor and delivery nurse and fine art film photographer, I am comfortable in intimate spaces and deeply attuned to body language. I guide gently while allowing room for you to unfold naturally. Before your session, we begin with a consult call, a detailed questionnaire, and a custom mood board so everything feels aligned with who you are and what you’re stepping into. Music is always playing. Fabrics move with the wind. I follow the light while cheering you on behind the lens, creating an atmosphere that feels supportive, creative, and quietly transformative. Many women describe the experience as spiritual, not because it is dramatic, but because it reconnects them to something steady and powerful within themselves.
After your session, your film is developed and returned with intention. Goddess Sessions include 40–60 web-size images delivered through a private online gallery, a downloadable cinematic slideshow, and 10 Polaroid images presented in a keepsake wooden box. You’ll also have access to a curated online store where you can purchase heirloom wall art, fine art albums, and specialty pieces designed to be treasured for years to come. The transformation continues when your artwork lives in your home, reminding you daily of the strength and sensuality you embodied in that light.
An intimate portrait session lets us get creative. There's an atmosphere created together where you feel uninhibited and care-free.
"If you are looking to feel beautiful, empowered, cared for, and whole-heartedly embraced - then Kristen is your photographer. Kristen is more than just a photographer - she is someone who sees you and makes you feel a part of something bigger. Beforehand, Kristen helped outfit me, met me and got to know me personally, and went above and beyond with little touches that made me just fall in love with her! The photoshoot itself was peaceful, comfortable, authentic, and honestly just playful. Not once did I feel like I was being photographed."

“Kristen came recommended by a friend. I could not be more pleased. She help me pick a location. The photos came out beautifully. Kristen really worked with me to give me the photos I had always dreamed of. She was even willing to get into the water with me for some river pictures! Her attention to detail & thoughtfulness was so appreciated”

Step into a space where you are invited to become the goddess you’ve quietly felt stirring within you. This experience is designed to awaken your strength, your sensuality, and the deep, instinctive power that has always been yours. Together, we create images on film that honor your becoming — grounded in nature, rooted in intention, and shaped by your own presence. It is more than a session; it is a threshold moment where you allow yourself to rise, to be witnessed, and to embody the woman you are ready to step into.
