Kristen’s work is bright, happy, and so full of joy. Kristen is the kind of friend that always shows up with coffee on your front doorstep, is always up for any kind of hangout (or shoot!) and I’m just so excited to share her thoughts about location + light with y’all. I absolutely love Kristen and know you will, too!

Kristen’s Photography Background
How Kristen Uses Locations + How This Evolved Over Time
Letting Go of Control in Your Images
Creating Photographs That Feel Like the Person in Them
Buckle in, y’all! This episode is a little wild + a little scattered because Kristen and I have been friends for, like, ever and, when you’ve been friends for years, it’s always easy to go off topic. Hahaha. Today, we are talking with Northwest Arkansas senior photographer Kristen Herrington. Kristen and I have been friends for nearly a decade (so wild!) and she takes the most fun senior photographs ever. And today? We’re asking Kristen an awesome question:
How Can I Use Locations and Light to Make My Images More Fun?
Also, yes! Yes it totally takes twenty minutes for us to get on topic today, lol.
Get To Know Kristen of Kristen Herrington Photography
Hiiiii, I’m Kristen, a senior photographer of 9+ years! I’m an NWA native and have been photographing seniors since my own senior year of high school over 12 years ago! I adore working with teen girls to create their dream photoshoot.. I mean, nobody is more excited to put together cute outfits and get in front of the camera and sharing in that excitement is so much fun! I specialize in helping my clients feel confident and at ease so that we can capture their individual personalities and create photos that feel uniquely ‘them’.
