Hi Y’all,

Welcome to Cinnfully Southern! My name is Kristi and I am the owner and lead photographer for our small little company. Photography has been my passion for as long as I can remember but I have only spent the past couple of years truly bringing that passion to life in a way that feels like it’s my own. I was raised in a family of stockcar photographers and learned a love for the art of photography at a very young age.

My family retired from the business when I was in high school and I carried the torch as the lead yearbook photographer and went on to follow a career in photojournalism before life happened and I found my greatest journey in being a mother and wife. Photography never was far from me and I started perfecting Portraits and nature shots as the years have passed and have vowed to build something to be proud of that helps capture the memories that are most important for not just our family but for others who feel the same.

My passion comes from all of the teachings I have been blessed to have from my grandfather Albert Quellette who hardly ever was found without a camera in hand. As unfortunate as it is I have watched Parkinson’s take his ability to hold a camera away almost as fast as I have watched the disease of Alzheimer’s remove his memories little by little and have found yet another reason I cherish photos as a whole. You see life has a tendency to take those memories we hold so dear and cause them to fade or in some cases completely disappear and I have witnessed the power a photograph has to help restore and retain memories while in his presence. So when I capture memories for someone else it is always with the mindset that what I am doing may literally be someone’s lifeline to a memory in the future and I take pride in that.

As a way of giving back for the gift that has been blessed upon me, I have one rule I have stuck to from day one: for every session that is booked with me a portion of the proceeds will always be donated to local charities that support and I will always make time for those who require a little extra care and time themselves.

I thank you dearly for taking the time to view this page and for considering me for your photography needs. I look forward to having the chance to work with you and your family and wish you nothing but blessings to come.

-Kristi
