    About Kristin Jones

    Kristin went from capturing the inside of people as an ultrasound tech for 20 years to showcasing people's outsides as a high school senior photographer.  Thirteen years ago, a Photoshop class introduced her to the camera, and she’s been obsessed ever since.

    Fast forward a decade, and Kristin is now a full-time photographer specializing in seniors, having photographed over 600 incredible individuals.

    Splitting her time between Salt Lake City and summers in Minneapolis, Kristin creates senior sessions that are as bold and unique as her clients. She’s also the VP of Intermountain PPA and a pro at sharing all the posing, lighting, and senior photography hacks she’s mastered along the way.

    Get ready—Kristin’s about to drop the kind of tips that’ll level up your photography game in a big way!
