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!

a painting to share… | Fleming Island, FL child photographer

05.05.09 Posted in personal 1 comment

Man, I have a list of things to blog about that keeps growing and growing. Unfortunately the number of hours in the day won’t grow to match. I’m going to try to start blogging way more often again!

This is something that I’ve been wanting to share for awhile. It is a painting that I commissioned from the unbelievable talent that is Erika Jessop. The painting depicts a moment that never came to be: my dad taking my son Jett on his first fishing trip.

On the sides of the painting she put one of my Dad’s quotes. I thought this would be great “grandfatherly wisdom” to share with Jett, since it was told to my dad by his grandfather. ”It’s better to know a little about a lot of things than a lot about a few things.” Definitely something my dad lived by.

Erika, thank you for bringing this moment to life and for listening to all of my crazy ramblings. :)

Please see more of Erika’s beautiful work on her blog, in her Etsy shop and on her flickr pages. Besides custom paintings she does her own artwork, as well as amazing logo and design work. Any of my clients can have one of their portraits from our session turned into a piece of Erika’s art! Just ask for more details.
