These are the good old days. Let’s capture it.

Hi! I’m Kristin McCandless, a Fort Collins-based lifestyle photographer and I simply love being behind a camera. I thrive in taking the stress out of getting photos taken by creating casual, comfortable, fun settings to let your smile shine. These are the days we want to remember so let’s capture it!


  • "Couldn't recommend Kristin more highly. We had the best photos ever this year. She was also great with our kids and got them to laugh and smile. Highly recommend!"

    Klinker Family

  • “WOW. Kristin made getting engagement photos taken so comfortable. She truly captured how we were genuinely feeling in the upcoming months of getting married and it felt so natural. We were amazed by the outcome of her work and several years later they are still our favorite photos.”

    Ashley + Drew

  • "After seeing Kristin's photography on Instagram, I knew I wanted her to take business headshots and get some running shots, too! She is a versatile photographer with the ability to capture both still photos and action shots with movement. The photos I received made me feel empowered, and Kristin's use of lighting, angles, and the natural landscape are stunning!"

  • "Kristin has an amazing ability to capture the intimate moments. Both my husband and I hate being photographed but she helped us feel comfortable and snapped the perfect candids of us with our newborn! I will cherish the pictures forever!"

    Clark Family

  • "Working with Kristin was a dream. She really listened to what we wanted to get from the shoot and did an incredible job capturing our essence as a couple during our engagement session. We loved it so much that we had her do family photos once our daughter was born as well. The shoot itself felt really casual and welcoming - she even got my husband (who hates taking pictures) to enjoy himself - which is saying A LOT! We loved how the photos turned out and how she really captured who we are as a couple and new family. I highly recommend working with Kristin!"

  • "Thanks for such a wonderful experience. Kristin was very kind and understanding of wiggly kids. She helped engage and worked with us all to capture some very memorable moments with our kids. Thanks again!"

    Balmer Family

  • "Kristin was the sweetest and SO easy to work with. I'm not sure who was less excited about taking photos - my husband or our 8-month-old - but she made us all feel very comfortable in front of the camera. She went with the flow when our baby got fussy and was able to capture amazing memories for us. We will definitely be booking her again!"

    Schrom Family

  • "The pictures are fantastic! Kristin really caught our family dynamic of constant laughing and making fun of each other, and the chaos of the dogs. The shoot was so fun!"
