Kristen has now done senior photo packages for both of my kids. Kristen worked with us every step of the way to create a fantastic array of pictures: large portraits for our walls, small contrasting photos, gifts for grandparents, and announcement cards.
Most importantly, she was able to capture the unique personalities of each kid, bathed in the golden light of the Flagstaff landscape in fall. This combination makes these pictures works of art. Each time I walk by the portraits on my wall, I feel the warmth of fall days and the spontaneity of our photo session with Kristen. I see my kids looking backwards, towards their childhood in Flagstaff, and forward, to the excitement of college and their future adult lives. Kristen captured this moment in time, and I will be forever grateful.

Kristen really sees you. Not just through the cameral lens but what attributes make you who you are. She has a sensitivity that creates an atmosphere of comfort, more than comfort- fun. She has a skillful eye and talent, excellent composition but this is the technical part. Her real talent is her- her personality and genuine love she shows her clients.

Five stars aren't enough to convey the exceptional photos and customer service I have received.
I have hired Kristen and Keiji for both corporate and personal photography needs. I have had pregnancy, newborn, family, and three unique sessions of senior photos done. Every time, I was in awe of the attention to detail, creativity, and professionalism displayed by this dynamic duo. Do I need to mention their commitment to the Flagstaff community? Wow!
They exceed expectations and make the experience enjoyable and stress-free with their responsiveness, organized process, and keen ability for location scouting. Always spot on with the time of day, weather, and lighting. But also ready to pivot if things aren’t perfect. Their passion is evident in every shot, and their ability to bring out the best in their subjects (horses, too ☺️) is remarkable.
I cannot recommend KDI Photography enough. If you're looking for a photographer that will capture your vision and deliver exceptional results, look no further.
Thank you for all the unforgettable experiences, Kristen & Keiji— your work brightens and warms our home!

I can’t express just how incredible KDI Photography is! Kristen treats her clients like family as she truly gets to know every member of the family, which allows her to capture the most raw, natural and beautifully candid shots. I am in awe of her amazing talent and expertise, with her husband, Keiji, working along with her to make such amazing sessions and photos. As a mom of three kiddos with my last one graduating soon, Kristen was and is able to commiserate with and comfort me through my daughter’s senior photos, while truly recognizing and honoring her.
I highly recommend, and will continue to refer all my friends and colleagues to KDI for all your professional photography needs!

It has taken me too long to write this, because we have twins who are now 2 years old. Kristen fit us in for newborn photos even though I didn’t plan ahead for them at all. I am forever grateful for those amazing photos. She was so patient, calm, and went above and beyond for us on multiple occasions to accommodate all my requests and ideas. I also really appreciated having the wall art, Christmas cards, and album made for us. There’s no way I would have done all that on my own until many years later. And extra thanks to her husband and his editing skills!

We had a wonderful experience at KDI photography. My husband and I did specifically family/newborn photos. Kristen was so patient and welcoming with our newborn. Having photos taken has always felt so awkward, but with Kristen it felt like she was an old friend.

AMAZING!!! KDI is truly in the business of capturing timeless treasures. Kristen and Keiji are true artists. From our first meeting, Kristen made it a point to know us. Not just us as a client but know us as people. The fact that she got to know us as people clearly came across in her photographs as she was able to capture the unique characteristics of each of our family members through the lens of her camera. Keiji and Kristen’s artistic talent has brought our family story to life through beautiful prints that we will cherish for years to come.

Kristen was so wonderful! She really took the time to get to know us, she was so great working with our kids (4yrs and 3 weeks). And the photos were absolutely beautiful! We’re so happy with the process and the product, we’re looking forward to many more shoots to come!

Our family has used KDI Photography for over 15 years for all our family photos. Kristen is simply the best! She has such a great personality and always puts us at ease during a photo shoot. She is able to capture moments in time that are so precious and important now that my husband and I are going to be empty nesters soon. The photos she has taken with our immediate and extended family over the years surround our house with special memories, both of our children growing up and the remembrance of our loved ones who have passed on. Every time I look at these photos, it brings a smile to my face. KDI Photography is truly a one of a kind studio. We are so fortunate to have worked with such a wonderful photographer all these years!
