kristen
mom, photographer, pepsi obsessed, and lover of Cheese and happy people.
Hi, I’m Kristen — the face behind Sweet Studios Photography! I’m a Cleveland-based portrait photographer with a passion for capturing high school seniors in the most authentic, joyful, and unforgettable way. I believe your senior year deserves to be documented with creativity, confidence, and a whole lot of fun.
As a mom of four, I know just how quickly time flies. That’s why I pour my heart into creating sessions that reflect who you truly are at this once-in-a-lifetime moment. Whether we’re chasing golden light in a field or styling a studio shoot that screams personality, my goal is to make you feel seen, celebrated, and completely at ease in front of the camera.
When I’m not behind the lens, you’ll find me with coffee in hand, planning our next shoot, editing with my dogs by my side, or shuffling kids between sports and school events. I love building real connections with the families I photograph — because this job is about more than just beautiful pictures. It’s about creating memories you’ll look back on with pride and joy.
Let’s make magic together!
xoxo,
Kristen

When do you schedule your senior sessions?
We schedule our senior sessions on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at 10am or 4pm. We will work around sports schedules just ask and we can make arrangements. Ordering sessions are scheduled for Sundays & Mondays, in the studio from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.
How can I book my session with you?
The best thing you can do is BOOK YOUR SESSION EARLY! We book our sessions out a few to several months in advance and have to turn seniors away every year because we’re completely sold out by the Spring of your graduating year! When you decide to book your session with us, send us an email or book your session HERE. Let the Planning fun begin!!
Can I do really natural makeup?
Heck yes you can! Whether you do it yourself or choose to have professional makeup done for your session you get to control how you look in your senior pictures. We even work with you before the session day to find out exactly what your face and hair will look like for each and every look.
I have a special location in mind. Can we use it?
Absolutely! It all depends on our other plans for your session. Mention it during your pre-session zoom consultation and we will do our best to make it happen!
What type of payments do you accept?
We accept most major credit and debit cards, checks and cash. A $250 session fee is due immediately upon booking your scheduled session. This ensures that your date is yours only and not open for any other clients. Your Collection fee will be due at your ordering session.
What about photos with my pet or things from my fave pastime?
Yes, yes, and yes. This is your session! If those things are important to you, we will include them in your session. Please be sure to mention them prior to your session so we can plan accordingly.

I'm not going to lie, I was incredibly nervous for my senior photos.
But as soon as I met Kristen, she instantly calmed my nerves and made my senior session so much fun!

This was an experience of a lifetime.
Doing senior photos with Kristen was incredibly enjoyable, not only did she make me feel confident while posing but she went above and beyond even helping me choose photo locations and gave me advice on outfits. She made the process very fun and easy going and her editing skills on my photos were superb! She is definitely a photographer Id recommend for senior photos and other photo sessions as well!
