Low stress
Little or no posing
Simple preparation
You can stay home (or I’ll come wherever!)
Fun for everyone, even the very camera shy
How it works: You do an activity as a family and I photograph it. Some people have dance parties…
Others snuggle…

While others do daily rituals like make breakfast together.
I can capture as many scenarios as you’d like within our time frame! What scenes in your family’s story would you like photographed? Little feet running down the hall? Moody teen strumming his guitar? I’d love to chat about documenting the current (and fleeting!) stage of your family.Â
I’m Kristi, a portrait and documentary photographer located in Bountiful, Utah, close to Salt Lake City. Thanks for stopping by! Check out more of my family documentary work here or head to my Instagram page here. To set up a family documentary session, contact me here or email at [email protected]. I’d love to hear from you! Also, I teach photography courses at the Bountiful Davis Art Center! Come join the fun! Link to the current schedule.Â
“We just got our photos back from our at home session with Kristi Burton and I couldn’t be more impressed. I’ve had family photos taken over the years at the beach or in the mountains with beautiful scenery behind us, and those photos turned out fine, but it wasn’t really us. We just love to be at home. When I found out Kristi specializes in at home photography, I was interested to see what she could do. I was also a little worried our photos would seem posed or forced because a photographer would be there watching us. I shouldn’t have worried because Kristi is a pro with a natural eye. She made me and my family feel comfortable and we had a great time.”

“The photos Kristi took for us are my favorite family photos! I wanted her to do a shoot in our backyard because it is a big part of what we do as a family (the garden, the play set, planning landscape for the future), and she captured that perfectly. We have 3 little kids who are always on the move, and she caught beautiful moments for each of them that show their personalities.”

“We’ve had Kristi photograph our family three times now and each time she has captured some of our very favorite and special things about our family in that particular time. I feel so lucky to have found a documentary photographer who loves coming to a house even when its messy and loves photographing the less than perfect parts of life because that is our life! And it is beautiful too!I love sending these images out to friends and family and making our own photo books. It’s so lovely to have a photo book that actually shows our life together.”

“Not only did Kristi provide us with the most wonderful photos, she facilitated a fun and relaxing afternoon in the park. A photo shoot with a 4 year-old could have been a difficult experience, instead our daughter had a great time playing games and just being herself. We could not be more thrilled with the end result…….. a priceless set of photos that captured our little family in one of our favorite places!”

“I have worked with Kristi on both family photos, and also branding style photos for my art business. And I have been blown away with her images for both.”

“Kristi is great! We use her for our family photos every year and we haven’t once thought about finding someone else. That should say enough!”
