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!

Will and Liz’s Ponte Vedra Beach, FL engagement session : by LanierStar Photography

08.22.09 Posted in engagement session 2 comments

This was a great engagement session! Will & Liz really put a lot of thought into it and I’m happy to say that we walked away with some amazing images. First they took a ride on a tandem bike (they love biking together) in their Ponte Vedra Beach neighborhood. They had actually never ridden tandem before so that was an adventure all on it’s own. Fortunately they survived with no spills and we were able to go on with the session.

Our next stop was Guana River State Park where they got engaged. These guys are super cute so my job was easy!

This is right about the time that we were being attacked by some huge biting flies. Will was such a gentleman and swatted one that was on me. (Truthfully, when he first started coming at me with his hand raised I wasn’t sure what was going on- hahahah.) But, this shot made it all worth it!

Then they grabbed the surfboard and headed out for some couples surfing!

As you can see there was a lot of laughter- which I love. My favorite thing at a session!

I had a great time with you guys and am super excited for your November wedding! :)
