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!

Vacations are a great time for Family portraits on the beach!

The lovely Mace family took a vacation from Ohio and headed to Florida.  Like any good family headed to FL, the first thing they did was hit Disney World.  Then they stopped off for a few days in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL (just down A1A from Jacksonville Beach and St. Augustine Beach) at one of the beautiful resorts there.  Mom thought this would be a great time to get some family portraits on the beach.  However, she didn’t want anyone stressing out over them (she was already stressing enough for everyone!), so she kept it a secret until the morning of the session!  This included planning and packing all of the coordinated outfits.  I think Mom did an awesome job of outfitting the family!  They look great together without being too matchy matchy.  As for Mom’s secret keeping abilities- I think she is the person I want on my side when I plan my next surprise party.  :)

Here are a few photographs from their family portrait session on the beach.

This next photo Mom ordered as a 24×36 canvas to go above the fireplace.  It was GORGEOUS!!!  She is going to send me a photo when they have it hung, so I will have to share on the blog for sure.

If you are going to be vacationing on the beach in Florida this summer then give us a call at 904-639-5960 or drop us an email at info@lanierstar.com.  We are doing a lot of family portraits on the beach this year and would love to add you to our schedule.  LanierStar Photography covers St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra, and Jacksonville beaches, as well as the resorts of Amelia Island.

Thank you very much Mace family!  It was wonderful working with you and I hope we can do it again in 5 or 10 years.  :) Kristen
