LanierStar Photography Blog | Amelia Island, Jacksonville, St. Augustine, FL wedding & portrait photographers bio picture
  • Love. Laughs. Photographs.

    Hello! My name is Kristen Morgan- a girl in her 30's (I swear I don't know when that happened!) and a laugh enthusiast (see exhibit A to your left), who's world revolves around my "sonshine", Jett (owner of the cute smile in exhibit A). I love anything made of paper, 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 NE 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.

    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. I'd also love to connect with you on Facebook and Twitter, so feel free to click those gray tabs in the upper left! 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!
    Kristen

2011 | A Year of Florida Wedding Photography

I just wanted to take a moment and thank all of the couples that I had a chance to work with last year.  It was LanierStar’s biggest and best year yet!  I have now photographed over 70 weddings as the primary photographer.  It’s hard to believe that when I opened my business in 2006  I didn’t plan on photographing weddings.  Five years later I can’t imagine my life without them!  I truly love my job and all of the couples I work with.  It means so much that these people connect with my work enough to choose LanierStar to document one of the biggest days of their life.  It is an honor that these people like me enough to want to share this amazing occasion with me.  These people welcome me with open arms, treat me like family and share their love with me so I can create irreplaceable memories for them.  I never forget what an awesome responsibility I have to these couples and their future families.  And, I am not going to lie…  I love hanging with them on the dance floor at the receptions!  What other job would let you do that?!?  :)

Here is a quick photo of thanks for each of the 26 couples I worked with this year.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!
