behind the camera
Kristin is originally from Scotch Plains, NJ. After receiving her masters degree from Monmouth University, she spent the first ten years of her professional life working as a child therapist and school counselor in Union County.
Shortly after becoming a mom, Kristin sought out the perfect photographer for her daughter. There was a true void in Monmouth County for a photographer that had a eye for design and the patient and warm personality that was needed when working with new mothers and little ones. Rather than expanding her search outside of the area, Kristin Baker Photography + Design was born.
As you'll soon find out, Kristin's personality is a little extra. In true form, she sought out the best in the business and traveled around the country to learn her craft. Kristin trained personally with several world-renowned photographers. This mentoring allowed Kristin to learn the importance of newborn safety and posing, while honing in on her craft.
Kristin has photographed over 600 newborns and worked with over 1000 families. Her work has been recognized in several publications and has been praised by photographers around the world. With an eye for design and a love for all things timeless, organic, and contemporary, Kristin has created a beautiful brand that'll leave you with beautiful memories for years to come!
When she's not behind the camera, you can usually find Kristin hanging with her husband and three kids, ages 5, 7, and 9. She enjoys traveling, especially kid-free weekend trips with her husband, LOL. At any given time throughout the day, she'll be salsa dancing around the kitchen, binge watching reality tv, or working out. Kristin is an avid peloton rider and you can often find her at Peloton Studios in NYC.
