Kristi is the real deal. Not only is she professional, but she is a true artist. I stumbled upon The Dogwood Collective and after my experience I would feel 100% comfortable referring her to any of my friends or family. Our pictures are absolutely beautiful and we will treasure them for many years to come. It’s hard to come across people who are experts in their field, but at the same time also make you feel like a friend. She’s kind and understanding and knows how to make you feel beautiful. Book now or forever hold your peace!

“Kristi’s moody and romantic style matched us perfectly! She was accommodating to our idea of engagement/ family photo combo shoot. She helped us get the best angles and very cool shots. She even had the idea to shoot in front of the place we met which will always be a special photo for us! Not to mention, she was excellent with my 4 year old daughter, making her giggle and laugh to get that great photo. She has a God given eye you won’t believe!”

“Working with Kristi was super easy and great! I am a super awkward human in photos usually, but she made me feel super comfortable and gave me great guidance for the best photos! She had great locations picked out to take photos, which was great since I was not from the area! My photos turned out so great! They were better than I could have imagined! I highly recommend the dogwood collective if you want super authentic original photos of you and your loved one.”

“We worked with Kristi for our small Wes Anderson themed wedding. When I was looking for a photographer, and came across The Dogwood Collective, I knew she was the one for us. Her attention to detail was incredible, and her patience throughout our hectic set up was appreciated. She went above and beyond for us, and it shows in her work. If I could give her 10 stars, I would. If you need a photographer, look no further.”

“Kristi was the best! She went above and beyond to make our special day perfect. She is so sweet and so kind. Our pictures turned out wonderful!”

“Loved having Kristi and Sheila as our wedding photographers/videographers. They were so creative and our wedding pictures turned out great! We cannot wait to see our wedding video! 100% would recommend!”

“I wish I can rate higher than 5 stars! Kristi made our wedding a total daydream come to life. I couldn’t be happier with the pictures that we’ll have for life. I’ve never worked with a professional photographer before and she made me feel totally comfortable during my bridal portraits, like I was taking pictures with a friend. She made me feel beautiful. I still hear comments from my bridal party about how great she was, and I see people go wide-eyed when I show them photos of our big day. She is a true professional and very flexible. I was sitting in the makeup chair at the salon when the location for the bridal portraits fell through and she took care of everything. She found a place that was more beautiful than I could’ve imagined. When I told her my ‘must’ photo on the wedding day was in a canoe at the venue, she responded with “no problem, I’ll make sure to wear shorts so I can get in the water.” She was very organized and stepped in when our timeline wasn’t going as planned. If you are looking for a true artist, you won’t go wrong with Kristi at The Dogwood Collective.”

“Kristi is extremely talented and really customizes the experience of a wedding photographer. She made sure to capture the key moments we discussed, and certainly delivered in reflecting the minimal, neutral style of our wedding in the photos. I also really enjoyed how she didn’t try to take photos of every single second, at times she was also a wedding guest, which put me at ease.(no one wants to worry if they look cute while eating their dinner!) Yet she was also able to sneak in and capture fun moments, like me applying a temporary tattoo to my husband’s neck, and still provided a couple options for each key shot. A really talented photographer, way more than some amateur with a camera and photoshop.”

“Kristi was so easy to work with from the very beginning. She did our engagements and our wedding photos and I am so pleased with them both! My husband and I were both worried about posing for photos, but Kristi made us feel so comfortable. She even let us bring our dogs to the engagement shoot. I appreciated her quick responses to any of my questions or concerns along the way. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who is easy to work with and produces beautiful photos!”
