If I could give Kristen 10 stars, I would. When my HUSBAND (it's fun to say that!) and I decided we wanted to elope we didn't really know where to start but what we did know was that we wanted an incredible photographer to capture the day. We were SO fortunate to have found Kristen's page in our Google search and from our very first phone consultation she immediately put us at ease. She was communicative, responsive, and friendly during our email exchanges. She answered all of our questions in an impressively timely manner. Most importantly when it came time to capture the big day, she did so in THE most beautiful way imaginable. We are SO impressed with our photos. She was able to capture our joy in a way that is palpable. Not only are our pictures absolutely stunning but she delivered both our sneak peek AND final gallery in record time. She is 100% who you want for your big day. She's trustworthy, reliable, an excellent communicator, and most importantly her final product is breathtaking. We will cherish these photos for years to come and we cannot wait to work with her again for our post-elopement celebration in April and for whatever other occasions warrant impeccable photographs. THANK YOU KRISTEN!!! You are the absolute best of the best!

Kristen is a GEM of a photographer. We were lucky to have her capture our engagement at the Mohonk Mountain House. She orchestrated the set up for our proposal (rose petals, flowers, guitar, champagne, etc.) and captured our excitement in what felt like every photo-ready square inch of the property. She is kind, attentive, and professional. Frankly, she made us look like movie stars and captured our love perfectly. She sent us previews of our best photos the day after before processing the full album (such a plus, so we could share with our family and friends) and was kind enough to send us prints in the mail for the holidays. We couldn't be more thankful!

Kristen is truly an exceptional photographer and wonderful person to work with. I’ve been lucky to have her shoot me and my family twice - once on our wedding day and the second time right after our second kid was born.Kristen is everything you want in a photographer. She is incredibly talented and her work speaks for itself. She captures just the right moment and does it so beautifully from the expressions on your face to the details of the background and gorgeous lighting. But that’s not all of what makes her special. She is so great to be around, like a calming presence that just makes you feel at ease. She made a very stressful/last minute wedding day feel effortless, like a long time friend was just there taking photos of special moments. Kristen also managed to get our very moody toddler to smile and laugh and open up during the second photo shoot, which I thought was all but impossible.If you need the best photographer around for anything in the Hudson Valley, you must use Kristen. You won’t regret it and will have beautiful memories for the rest of your life.Thank you, Kristen. Can’t wait until we can do it again.

I would 100% recommend Kristen to anyone looking to do elopements, weddings, engagements, etc in the Catskills area and beyond. After seeing her work online we knew we wanted to work with her for our elopement (plus she did the ceremony too!). She was so easy to work with, making the day easy for us. She is very go-with-the-flow stopping for photos along the journey for more natural shots or capturing special hints of light, but still giving us enough time to hit all the destinations on our list. We received sneak peek photos within a few days which was so exciting. Thanks a bunch, Kristen!

Kristen made us feel comfortable from the start of site selection to the very cold morning sunrise engagement photoshoot itself! She captured our energy so well and we love looking back at the images! We highly recommend Kristen for any photo session!-Nicole & James

Kristen is an absolute treasure! We adore her art, her spunk and her energy. Having her with us for our wedding was having an extra special guest. If you are thinking of hiring her, just do it. The photos, the service and the new friendship— all above and beyond. We love you, Kris!

Kristen was phenomenal! We were worried about feeling awkward behind the camera, but she quickly put us at ease and made us feel comfortable. She is calm, collected, professional and kept the day on track. Her work is stunning and she has a knack for bringing out personalities. If you want wedding photos that manage to capture true emotion, you should definitely choose Kristen as your photographer!

Kristen captured the magic, joy, and beauty of our wedding at Hartford City Hall in a way no one else could. We contacted her last minute and she was able to accommodate our needs. We immediately felt at ease with her and she very calmly guided us through the process of taking pictures. She was creative, and insightful, and clearly has a gift for finding beauty and raw emotion in every moment. The next day, we received an album of sneak peek images that were nothing short of astounding. Our friends and family keep asking us who captured such amazing pictures. We couldn’t be more grateful for Kristen, her skills behind the camera lens, and her sense of humor. We can’t recommend her enough!

Kristen brewed our coffee-themed engagement photoshoot to perfection. Her expertise and professionalism shined weeks before we even met her in person. Kristen gave us expert recommendations on photoshoot locations, coffee shops, and what to wear. She also was so reassuring and accommodating when a family medical situation came up during the planning process. By the time we met Kristen in person, she already felt like a good online friend that we were finally meeting in person. My fiance and I are on the shy side and often feel self-conscious in front of a camera. However, Kristen made us feel so comfortable that all the nerves melted away, leaving us as our complete selves fully immersed in the moment. Kristen captured this all so beautifully. When she showed us sneak peeks of the photos she just took, we were amazed at how vibrant and warm they looked even before edits. The final gallery exceeded all dreams and expectations. We get deep in our feelings every time we look through it. This is review isn’t enough to capture the vast amount of talent, heart, and magic Kristen has, but we hope we can experience it again many more times in the future.

We used Little But Fierce Photography for our Catskills Elopement after coming across one of her images in a google search of couples getting married in front of a waterfall. When we saw the images we knew we wanted to do just that and reached out to Kristen! She had been super helpful through the process and went above and beyond for us the day of. It was a beautiful and intimate moment for us and she captured it perfectly. We love our gallery and are glad we picked her! Highly recommend!

My husband and I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the extraordinary photography talents of Kristen, who undoubtedly deserves the title of the best wedding photographer EVER! Before we receive our photos back, we want to write a standalone review on our unparalleled experience with Little But Fierce Photography!From the moment we inquired about her availability, Kristen’s enthusiasm and professionalism set the tone for an experience that will be forever etched in our hearts and minds. In addition to being the most sought-after photographer in the Hudson Valley/Catskills Region she is also incredibly kind, flexible, and humble … not to mention organized!!Kristen went out of her way, even before our wedding day, to make sure my husband and I felt special, heard, and in-the-loop on necessary details. On our wedding day Kristen was more helpful than we could have ever imagined a photographer would need to be! From adjusting my veil and necklace, to helping coordinate family portraits, to saving the day when my dad’s Tux didn’t fit, Kristen handled every detail with grace, poise, and authority. Throughout the day, she provided invaluable assistance, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and effortlessly!We cannot express enough how much Kristen contributed to the overall success and joy of our wedding day!As the new bride and groom, we express immense gratitude for Kristen’s unwavering support and kindness and we can’t wait to see the full set of wedding photos!

We were absolutely amazed by our engagement session with Kristen! From start to finish, it exceeded all our expectations. Kristen's guidance was spot-on, providing specific instructions while allowing my fiancé and I to be our utterly goofy selves. Kristen's awesomeness made the session better than we could have imagined. The comfortable and relaxed atmosphere she created made the entire experience enjoyable.Kristen's photography skills are truly incredible. She worked seamlessly with natural lighting, capturing moments that felt both spontaneous and organic. The previews on her camera screen during the shoot had us already anticipating spectacular results, and the final photos still blew us away.We're eagerly looking forward to future collaborations with Kristen. Overall, an outstanding experience! Highly recommend, LBF!

Kristen shot my fiancée and I’s proposal and the photos came out beautiful! She was also great at getting us to pose just right, and worked with us to get plenty of shots in for us to pick from.The final edited photos after we had selected the ones we wanted were ready in less than a day, and that’s including requested edits like fixing stray hair or making sure no one was blinking. Highly, highly recommend Kristen if you’re looking for someone to shoot your engagement!One final bonus was she had also recorded the actual proposal on her phone as she was shooting photos and sent it to us so we have that moment as well — thank you so much!

We liked Kristen even before we met her because Little But Fierce is just a great name :) Once we met Kristen, we knew that we had found the right person to capture our happy day.Kristen is not only a great photographer but also a vast wealth of knowledge on all things wedding. She knows the venues, other vendors and best practices and her tips were always greatly appreciated.She made things easy during our planning process while still gathering all of the important details. We also appreciated her flexibility as we played with our wedding timeline and indoor/outdoor ceremony decision right up until the last minute.The day of our wedding she was relaxed while keeping us focused on our timeline. We quickly took our first look photos on the lawn at Mountainville Manor before proceeding to a train trestle and field to capture some beautiful outdoor photos.Kristen did a great job of capturing the ceremony and reception photos in a very relaxed and unobtrusive manner. She was also very kind and used her cameras to capture some video where it made sense.We had let Kristen know while planning that we preferred candid as opposed to posed photos and she made that happen for us in a very effortless way.We enjoyed working with Kristen a great deal and just received our sneak peek photos. As we anticipated, they are amazing. She captured the beautiful scenery, our natural candid smiles and happiness, and everyone having a great time. We can hardly wait to too see the rest of our photos!Thank you Kirsten for helping to make our special day special!

My fiancé hired Kristen as part of a surprise proposal. From what he told me about the planning process, she was so great to work with beforehand, helping him pick a location, working with him on ideas/recommendations since we are not from the Hudson area, etc. When we arrived she was so sweet and all of our photos came out amazing. She was so professional and was able to send us a video of the proposal from her phone since she knew we would want some kind of content immediately. She even let us include our dog! She also made it so special bringing us champagne to use for the proposal. The photos turned out amazing and the turnaround time to get them was so fast! Overall it was an amazing experience and she truly made our engagement so special
