RECEIVE YOUR FINAL IMAGES
If you’re someone who tends to freeze up in front of a camera, like me, you need a gifted and professional photographer like Kristin Palkoner. My personal branding session with Kristin was so comfortable. She put me at ease right away as we worked through a number of poses in both formal and informal settings. I was so pleased with the final shots!

personal branding session
Kristin came to my office to do a portrait for me to use personally and professionally, and WOW! I am almost embarrassed by how much time I'm spending admiring these photos of myself. She was amazing during the shoot, and I am so, so happy with the results. She was great with my dog, too!
"I AM FALLING IN
LOVE WITH ME!"
-Leona L.
BUSINESS BRAND PHOTOSHOOT
Kristin is amazing! She made my session comfortable, but fun. I had driven over an hour for the photoshoot and when I got home that night, I felt like I had been on a vacation day. Her creativity resulted in some beautiful pictures that I will be able to use for business and personal!
"I FELT LIKE I HAD BEEN ON A VACATION DAY!"
