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.

Historic Engagement Session

12.06.08 Posted in engagement session No comments

I had a great time getting out of town and shooting Mel & Carrie’s engagement session. Mel is a history buff, so we hit Fort Clinch State Park in Carrie’s hometown of Fernandina Beach, FL. Here is a little sneak peek of their session:

Let me just say- it’s a good thing that I am loving the above photo- considering the pain and anguish we went through to get it! I truly believe that the 10 foot area around this wall is the “sandspur capitol” of Florida. As I was trying to find the exact spot I wanted for this shot my foot suddenly was filled with a thousand pin pricks. I had worn thin ballet flats and looked down to see the entire outside of my shoe covered in sand spurs. OUCH! I hated to miss the good light and didn’t dare take my shoe off, so I hobbled around on the inside of my foot. I know I looked really cool because Mel & Carrie were both laughing. :) After this shot we all took a break to pull off the worst of our little hitch hikers. If you hate these things as much as I do then check out some tips I found by clicking HERE and HERE.
