LanierStar Photography Blog | Amelia Island, Jacksonville, St. Augustine, FL wedding & portrait photographers bio picture

Love. Laughs. Photographs.

Hello! I am Kristen Morgan- a girl in her 30's (when did that happen?!?) and a laugh enthusiast who's world revolves around my "sonshine". I love things made from paper, the water, 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 North and Central 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 and an attention to details to fully capture your day.

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. Feel free to click those colorful tabs in the upper left to connect with me on Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram or Twitter! 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.

Here are a couple of shots from the LanierStar Photo Nook. It’s like a photo booth, but not as small and a lot more fun! Ask for more info on having it set up at your wedding.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAnd- here is the slideshow!
