DOCUMENTARY STORYTELLING
Kirsten Lewis is an internationally recognized documentary photographer whose storytelling work goes far beyond traditional portraiture. With a career built on truth-telling through imagery, Kirsten captures real moments with emotional depth, subtlety, and a keen sense of narrative. Her lens is focused on what matters most — connection, honesty, and the beautifully imperfect moments that make a life. Kirsten is best known for her immersive Day in the Life sessions, where she documents an entire day with a family, capturing the rhythms, rituals, and relationships that define their world. These sessions are raw, real, and powerfully moving — often described by clients as “the most accurate and meaningful documentation we’ve ever had.” She also specializes in high-esteem vacation sessions for families who want more than staged beach portraits or matching outfits. Whether you're in Santorini, Cape Cod, Watch Hill, or the Colorado Rockies, Kirsten embeds herself quietly into your experience, documenting the in-between moments — the laughter, the meltdowns, the chaos, the calm — that reflect your family’s true dynamic. The result is a visual narrative that is as unique as your trip and far more meaningful than anything posed. Her portfolio also includes birth photography, end-of-life sessions, milestone celebrations (such as mitzvahs, reunions, anniversaries and birthdays), and coverage of family transitions, including adoption, health journeys, and reunions. No matter the circumstance, her work honors the emotional landscape of each family with sensitivity, skill, and a deep respect for the human experience.
