Kristen Renee

Owner and lead photographer

Kristen’s journey into photography began back in elementary school with her dad as her guide. Since starting KRP in 2011, she’s been turning that childhood passion into capturing stunning, memorable moments for clients across the country. Her favorite subjects for photo sessions are couples whose love makes everyone around them smile… and DOGS! Her secret weapon is 10 years worth of teaching 8th grade, so she can totally handle a rowdy wedding party!

Sheridan Renee

Co-owner and partner photographer

Sheridan joined the team in 2022. She brings a unique balance to the team with her energy and creativity. While Kristen tends to take a brighter aesthetic, Sheridan creates compositions with a darker moodier vibe. She comes to life as the party gets going and truly loves getting in the middle of the dancefloor to capture wedding guests and their authentic moments of joy. And with 30 years of childcare experience, she knows exactly what our families need during their portrait sessions!

We can't wait to bring our fun and creativity to your special moments and make some memories together!

  • Two brides kissing in a garden, both wearing white wedding dresses and holding bouquets.

    “We really felt so comfortable working with them. My wife does not normally do well posing for pictures; nervous, anxious, fidgety. Kristen and Sheridan made her feel like a natural in front of the camera. They made us feel like movie stars! On more than one occasion since the wedding, my wife has said Kristen is the only one she wants photos taken from in the future, which says a lot since we live in North Dakota (we had our wedding in upstate NY).”

  • Bride and groom in wedding attire looking out a window, bouquet on a table.

    “I can’t overstate how important it is to have vendors that work cohesively with each other, and Kristen and her team not only worked well with the other vendors we hired, but actually seemed like FRIENDS.”

    "Sheridan was our photographer the day of our vow renewal and she was exceptional to work with; all of our guests commented on how delightful she was and the photos do not disappoint! She made us feel incredibly comfortable and brought a tremendous amount of professionalism and joy to the day."
