Hi, mama! I'm Kristen.
I am a wife, mother of 3, and a published maternity, newborn and family portrait photographer based out of Wall, NJ.
For over 10 years, I have had the honor of photographing for hundreds and hundreds of moms and their families. I am so passionate about creating gorgeous portraits of your pregnancy, your baby, your family, and YOU, and to providing a luxurious experiences that makes it easy to have printed memories of the moments you wish could last forever.
My love for documenting life with portraits goes back to childhood when I received a little yellow 35mm for my sixth birthday. Years later, I was a young mom and owned a dance studio. I wanted to learn how to take pictures of my son with a blurred background, and capture sharp images of my ballerinas leaping. I purchased a DSLR and began practicing daily. Soon after, I had business cards and in 2010, started a family photography business.
Make it Art
At Greater Joy Portrait Studio
we begin with the end in mind. Every portrait session starts with a plan of what the final outcome will be. I will guide you as we consider where you will display your portraits, your home decor and color preferences, and how you want to see these priceless photographs 5, 10, 20 years from now. The result is always a simple, enjoyable experience that gives you exactly what you hoped for - a timeless piece of printed art for you and all the people you love.
Our breathtaking studio located in Wall Township is now open!
After nearly a decade, it's time to begin a new chapter and continue doing what I absolutely love in ways I couldn't prior.
Kristen Barker Photography & Design is now a "big sister" company to a newer, luxury brand that speaks even deeper from my heart and provides superior service and breathtaking keepsakes for you to display your images.
Our beautiful space was carefully designed for you and your family's comfort, complete with a dedicated area for professional hair and makeup services, a roomy and comfortable observation lounge that doubles into a viewing room to view your gorgeous portraits for the first time, convenient kitchen amenities, including a microwave, refrigerator and Nespresso machine, as well as a large studio area cozy enough for the tiniest newborn subjects and expansive enough to accommodate extended families - and a vintage claw-foot tub!
As you have shared your journey with me to capture for you, I am so excited to share this part of my journey with you.
