Work with me

No stiff posing. No performing.
Just the quiet, unfiltered moments that feel like you.

I’ll guide when it’s needed and step back when it’s not — so you can just be together, move freely, and forget the camera’s even there. That’s where the real magic happens — in the laughter, the movement, the emotion between frames.

My goal? To give you something real. Something that lasts.

Honest, artful imagery for easygoing couples.

About me

When I’m not photographing love stories, you’ll find me chasing my toddler through the sand, hiking quiet trails in the White Mountains, or snuggling our two beagle pups.

I’m drawn to golden light, real connection, and the kind of moments you’ll want to feel again years from now.

My approach is simple — warm, intentional, and real. I’m here to help you feel like yourself in front of the camera, even if you think you’re awkward (you’re not, and I’ll prove it!).

I’m so honored you’re here, and I can’t wait to meet you!

hi, I'm tristen

This isn’t about stiff poses or perfect smiles — it’s about the in-between moments. The ones that feel like you.

I’m here to capture your story as it naturally unfolds — with gentle direction, honest emotion, and space for real connection and movement.

Whether we’re wandering your favorite beach, cozy at home with your pup, or sneaking away for a quiet “just us” kind of elopement — I’ll be there to document it all in a way that feels effortless and true to you.

Let’s make some magic together.

Unscripted. Honest. Yours.

Moments That Matter

love notes

- Amanda + MATT

She found the most incredible location for our engagement photos, made us feel SO comfortable and the photos we ended up with are more beautiful than we ever could have imagined. We're so happy we connected with her and can't wait to have her shoot our wedding! 

“Tristen is one of the most kind and talented souls we've ever met.”

- Bree & Kelan

We hiked to basically the middle of nowhere for our ceremony, and she was 100% up for the adventure. During the planning stages of our elopement, she also provided so many great suggestions that really helped to make our day that much more special. Thank you!

“We honestly couldn't have picked a better photographer!”

- Margot & Ash

If you're thinking about booking Tristen... do it! Even though we were a little nervous about being in front of the camera, we had such a good time. We can't even believe how amazing the photos turned out and we're really looking forward to hiring her again in the future!

“She made our couples session so easy and lots of fun.”
