Hello, I'm Kristen
 
 
Hi, my name is Kristen and I'm the photographer behind the camera here at Bette Wright photography.
 
Experience
and inspiration
I first fell in love with photography in an art history class during my undergraduate years. What started as curiosity quickly became something much deeper, so much so that I changed my major to fully immerse myself in the craft. People have always been my favorite subject. My work is inspired by photographers who embraced honesty and humanity in their images, and I carry that influence into every session.
I spent years working with film, learning to slow down and truly see. Countless hours in the darkroom taught me patience, intention, and how meaningful a single image can be when it’s created with care. While I now specialize in digital photography, that foundation continues to shape everything I do, giving me a refined eye for light, composition, and authentic storytelling.
Today, I focus on family photography, portraits, and professional headshots, with people at the center of every frame. I’m drawn to genuine connection, especially the candid, in-between moments that feel natural and unscripted. My work is rooted in capturing real emotion while creating images that feel polished, timeless, and true to you.
I know being in front of the camera can feel intimidating, which is why I prioritize creating a relaxed, comfortable experience from start to finish. Whether we’re documenting your family, updating your headshots, or creating a portrait session just for you, my goal is to help you feel confident, at ease, and fully yourself.
My goal is simple:
To create photographs that feel like you. Images that reflect your personality, your relationships, and your story while also making you feel confident, comfortable, and seen.
