Big thanks to KDI photography! We added a new family member this summer and getting these pictures taken meant the world for us. We chose KDI based upon the beautiful portfolio we saw on her website and we loved her style. Our experience with her was not something we anticipated - simply because we did not realize the depth she goes to with each family member to understand everyone’s vision and expectations. Her process is meant to ensure the highest quality product, and it shows.
We loved how our daughters portraits turned out and we can’t thank her and her husband enough for their artistry, hard work and the compassion and warmth they weave in throughout the process.

Kristen and her husband at KDI Photography are amazing! They really captured the essence of our emotions thru their photography skills and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Kristen was so welcoming to our family and super accommodating through the whole photo shoot. They make the whole process very intimate and comfortable. Their office and studio felt like stepping into a warm and loving home, always offering us beverages and snacks and space for anything we desired. Thank you both so much, and for the memories we will have in our own home forever!

Kristen Iwai has been capturing our family’s moments in life for over 17 years now. Her images encompass the story of our life . She’s incredibly talented, professional and makes the experience welcoming and fun! I cannot recommend KDI Photography enough.

I’ve known Kristen for years and have always admired her work, but had yet to take advantage of her incredible talent as a photographer until just recently. My husband and I were expecting our first baby and I knew immediately that I wanted Kristen to document the process. We met with her in her office and she was so kind and professional. Once the time came for the maternity shoot, I was feeling very pregnant and not looking forward to the shoot. I couldn’t have been more surprised and impressed when we saw the photos. Somehow she was able to capture the blossoming of our family (dog included!) to perfection. Once our daughter made her appearance, the newborn session was equally as amazing and captured all the emotion that comes with having a newborn. We are very much looking forward to our next 2 sessions and highly recommend KDI to anyone looking for timeless, beautiful portraits.

KDI has been an extension of our Arizona family. Kristen has gone above and beyond what I would have ever expected in a family photographer! Our pictures of our growing family make our house a home!

I met Kristen a few weeks after my first son was born, just as things were shutting down during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. I was a new mom with no idea what was happening in the world. I called Kristen to explore options for newborn photos. I didn’t know what I was doing or what to expect. It was like Kristen was sent to provide a sense of security for us. Her professionalism and sense of calm allowed me to step back and just enjoy some precious moments as a new family. She provided not only photos, but a sense of peace and some precious memories. Four years later, she is still our family photographer. Recently, with our second child, we did more family photos. We checked in before the photos and I was anxious and unprepared. I didn’t think I could pull it together for us to have decent family photos. Once again, Kristen was calm that I needed. She assured me that no matter what, we were going to be getting important and beautiful moments for our family. And we did. I’m so glad that I came across Kristen’s page one day in the parking lot of our pediatrician, searching for a newborn photographer. At this stage, she knows our family so well that I am sure we not only have a photographer in her, but a friend. I highly recommend.

I had such a wonderful experience with Kristin! She made me feel safe and heard, especially with such a new experience for myself! The pictures turned out beautifully and I seriously cannot wait to share these shots with my friends and family. If you are looking for a sign to get some pictures taken, then here it is :)

Kristen has now done senior photo packages for both of my kids. Kristen worked with us every step of the way to create a fantastic array of pictures: large portraits for our walls, small contrasting photos, gifts for grandparents, and announcement cards.
Most importantly, she was able to capture the unique personalities of each kid, bathed in the golden light of the Flagstaff landscape in fall. This combination makes these pictures works of art. Each time I walk by the portraits on my wall, I feel the warmth of fall days and the spontaneity of our photo session with Kristen. I see my kids looking backwards, towards their childhood in Flagstaff, and forward, to the excitement of college and their future adult lives. Kristen captured this moment in time, and I will be forever grateful.
