Beauty is so deep. not just skin deep. it's a way of expressing yourself in your most vibrant, unique and genuine way.

- Elle MacPherson

Hey gorgeous!

I'm Kris.

My photography practice started out with working babies, and whilst my portfolio and brand has expanded significantly since, photographing infants taught me something which is now inherent in my everyday practice.
 
Babies don’t have an ego, that is something that starts to develop when we learn to recognise ourselves in the mirror. What I’ve found from years of photographing people is that often our ego is what gets in the way of us capturing our most authentic self in a photograph.

My aim as a photographer is to reveal the person you want to be through the lens. 

I truly believe that by reconnecting people with their inner child, or practising Mul Mantra as us yogis would say, you can capture your best shot. When I photograph someone, I’m not just taking their picture, I’m creating a space in which my clients feel comfortable to be themselves, to express who they want to be – unrestrained by ego or self-doubt.

That is what drives me, revealing and capturing people’s inner selves, so that they look at the final photographs and feel empowered. 

The camera can be quite a strange thing to pose in front of and often people become someone else in front of it.

For me, photography and yoga are inextricably bound. 



Both have helped me hugely on my own journey of self-discovery and the skills I have developed through practicing them – control, precision, self-love and positive affirmation – is why I am trusted by brands and people across the world to take their photograph and bring their identity to life.

Present Practices

It's about being fully present in the moment, embracing the beauty of the journey, and celebrating the uniqueness of each individual's practice.

Through my lens, I aim to capture not just poses but the emotions, stories, and transformative energy that unfold within each session.

Practicing and teaching yoga helps me to stay focused, stay present in my work and in my everyday life. I believe that this is a beautiful gift from life for me, I’m so grateful.

You can find me teaching yoga every Wednesday at 6 PM at SF Studios in Hampstead Heath. Please come and join me if you are around: 

I've been practicing with her for over a year and it has changed my life! Her classes are a perfect blend of mindful flow, easy-to-follow instructions, and genuine consideration for the well-being of every student, regardless of their level of expertise. 

Her soothing voice is an instant invitation to relaxation, making every class a source of both energy and serenity. One of the aspects that truly sets this yoga teacher apart is her attentiveness to individual needs and limitations. She takes the time to understand each student’s unique circumstances, whether it’s an injury or a specific weakness, and provides tailored guidance to ensure a safe and effective practice. During her classes, she pays close attention to everyone and offers hands-on assistance when needed. I’ve experienced her expert re-positioning first-hand, which has not only helped me avoid potential strain but has also allowed me to achieve a deeper and more fulfilling practice. You leave each session feeling rejuvenated, both physically and mentally. Kristi’s classes are a true treat for the body and mind. She has made a significant positive impact on my yoga journey, and I am incredibly grateful for her guidance. Namaste."

"I can't say enough positive things about my experience with an exceptional yoga teacher!

Since I began practicing yoga with her regularly, I've become physically healthier, stronger, and more energetic. More importantly, I've gained tools to manage stress and find inner calm.

Kris, you're not just a yoga teacher; you're a guide and mentor. Thanks to you, I've embraced a healthier and more balanced life. Your impact on my life has been profound, and I can't thank you enough."

"Let me tell you about Kris, my yoga teacher, who has been a true game-changer in my life.

Before I met her, I was trapped in a sedentary job that was taking a toll on my health. I'd always been curious about yoga, but it was Kriszti's guidance and passion that ignited my love for it.

Her classes are a sanctuary of peace and self-discovery. She blends mindfulness, spirituality, creating an atmosphere of serenity. 

She has not only helped me become more flexible and strengthened my deep muscles, essential for my sensitive lower back, but she's also rekindled my ability to relax, meditate, and stay present in the midst of life's daily stresses.

I am profoundly thankful for her calming presence, unwavering support, and the positive impact she's had on my well-being. I wholeheartedly recommend yoga to everyone, regardless of age or fitness level. Kris has been the guiding light in my yoga practice, and I believe her expertise can help others experience the same transformative journey toward greater flexibility and reduced stress.

My journey into yoga began on the recommendation of my sister, with no particular expectations in mind. However, I soon discovered the remarkable guidance and support of my yoga instructor, Kris, which transformed my perspective.

Her expertise and kindness have been instrumental in my yoga journey.
