Kristy Ter Haar Photography, Caledonia

Shutterbug Kristy Ter Haar knows that the key to taking a good photo is making sure your subject feels comfortable. So, she welcomes customers into a studio set up to create a fun and relaxed atmosphere. She can also take shoots outdoors at her clients' favorite location to take advantage of natural light while families romp through piles of fall leaves, fields of bright flowers, or kiddie pools filled with pasta.

Kristy specializes in capturing memories of babies and kids under 5 years old, but her ability to put subjects at ease makes her a popular choice for engaged couples and high-school seniors as well. After her shutter has clicked for the last time, she touches up blemishes and converts selected shots to black-and-white or sepia tones during the editing process, and can then print them onto paper, canvas, or the pages of a shiny new photo book.
