Love. Laughs. Photographs.

Hello! I am Kristen Morgan- a girl in her 30's (when did that happen?!?) and a laugh enthusiast who's world revolves around my "sonshine". I love things made from paper, the water, Mexican food with margaritas, flip-flop weather and iPhone-tography. I also love "real" cameras, which is where this website comes in to play. I'm the owner of LanierStar Photography and a full-time photographer based in the St. Augustine / Jacksonville, FL area.

LanierStar photographs Weddings and Portraits throughout North and Central Florida, and SE Georgia. I'm also available for travel. My personality is fun and laid back, which helps people feel comfortable around me. At the same time my years spent managing businesses ensures that your experience will be positive and professional. My photography style is candid, using photojournalism to capture you in real life. Then I combine that with artistic portraiture and an attention to details to fully capture your day.

Please scroll down to read the blog, which is updated much more frequently than the websites! Primarily I use it to showcase the latest sessions, but hopefully you can get a feel for who I am, too. Feel free to click those colorful tabs in the upper left to connect with me on Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram or Twitter! I'd love to start planning your portrait session or hear about your wedding, so use the Contact tab up top, call 904.639.5960, or email me at info@lanierstar.com.

Talk soon!

Everyday to Exotic Engagement Session in Atlantic Beach, FL

Michael and Denise made the most of their engagement session. We hit several spots in Atlantic Beach, FL and they had a few outfit changes. I love how we went from casual wear to traditional Muslim dress, which enabled us to show both sides of this couple. The last few images are some of my favorites. The gate and bold lighting helped to create one of a kind images for them.

Shawn and Heather wanted something a little bit country for their engagement session. So, I found a beautiful field for them and we met up at sunset. They brought their love and Heather wore some fabulous boots. I brought my camera and a blanket. The End.
