Love, laughs, photographs…

Hi! My name is Kristen Morgan and I'm the owner of LanierStar. I photograph Weddings and Portraits throughout NE Florida and I'm available for travel. My personality is fun and laid back, which helps people feel comfortable around me. I'm also a self described laugh enthusiast (when you meet me you'll get it). 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. No stuffy poses or forced smiles! The portraits I take are artistic and I use creative processing to bring them to life.

Primarily I use it to showcase the latest sessions, but I also talk about my life. Hopefully by reading through you can get a feel for what I'm like and how LanierStar operates.

Brotherly Love: Fleming Island, FL family portrait photographer

02.28.10 Posted in children, family portraits No comments

Just a quick share of some family portraits I did for the “L” family in Fleming Island. It’s always nice to work with “neighbors”! The oldest son is a Senior in high school this year, so we incorporated some shots for him that show off his personality and hobbies. The youngest son was such a ham (if you can’t tell from the photos!). Before any portrait session I send the family a survey so that I can determine what they want from the session and what is going on at this time in their lives. It was important to the family that I get some shots of the 2 sons together since this is the last year that they will all live together before the oldest heads off to college. There is a lot of love there and it was really wonderful to watch the boys interact. Although at the same time heartbreaking to imagine what they’ll be going through in the fall.

To view the gallery simply click on the boy’s portrait. Then click at the top right of each photo to forward on to the next.
