While Kristen Hayes Photography LLC began in 2022, I have had a camera in my hand since 2009. Many photo shoots, editing styles, and a degree in Retail Management from the University of South Carolina later, I am finally pursuing my passion for photography! 

My favorite aspect of photos are their ability to transport you back in time. They’re often the only tangible memories you have of your loved ones, and I am so thankful for the opportunity to capture some of life’s sweetest moments! 

I have a soft spot for where I grew up in the Pee Dee and love to traverse South Carolina as a whole, while being based out of Columbia, SC. 

When I am not taking photos, you can find me adventuring with my husband, Jed, and our Alaskan Malamute (my favorite model), Grace.
