Make Time 

Stand Still

These seasons go faster than anyone tells you. Let me capture yours and turn it into something you'll hang on your wall for the rest of your life.

About Kristin Merck Photography

Make memories
with us.

Hi, I'm Kristin Merck. I grew up on the beaches of Cape Cod, and I still believe the ocean can cure just about anything.

 

These days you'll find me in Pittsburgh with my husband, our two kids, and two crazy corgis, doing the work I love behind my camera.

 

I've always cared less about how a photograph looks and more about how it makes you feel. As a mom, I know how fast it all goes, and how much it means to have something that brings you right back.
