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

This week was my b’day and I turned 35. I really can not believe that I am that old. Not that I think I’m ancient or anything. I guess it’s just that time has moved so fast the past couple of years, combined with the fact that my 20′s seemed to last for such a long time. 35 seemed so far away- so foreign. I still feel like I’m the same person I was at 27- and my mind seems stuck there. When people ask my age I honestly have to stop and think. Every birthday after 30 just hasn’t seemed real.

Anyway, I had a really nice b’day. My parents & step-mom came over and we had lunch together. We also looked through a bunch of old photos, which is where I found this next gem of a photo. I just loved it, so I’m sharing. This is so “me as a kid”-

That night we went out with some friends to the Cheesecake Factory. I think that is the best place to go with a group of people because of the amazing menu- something for everyone. I had

November is a busy b’day month. My brother is the 5th, mom-in-law on the 3rd and I have friends on 9th, 13th, 21st- and more I can’t remember off-hand. Also, my husband’s birthday is on the 1st. He gave himself a very nice gift this year-
