About

About Kris:

I started photographing in 1998 working with black-and-white film and playing in the darkroom. When it was time to go to college, I started with a business marketing and transitioned to a photography degree. I always knew she wanted to photograph portraits and weddings, so I customized my classes for her degree to specialize in those types of photography.

I won multiple awards for my portraiture and being

published for my wedding photography. I landed the cover of Central Texas Wedding Guide magazine. This has been my goal since I started photographing professionally.

My favorite thing about photographing weddings and doing portraiture is capturing the client's story.

As a lead wedding photographer, my duties are

journalistically capturing brides’ getting ready, photographing all of your details, first look, the pre-formal, and set up in their group pose. Documenting the ceremony, and how it all unfolds without interruptions. Photographing formal portraits of your family, the entire wedding party, and the bride & groom portraits. Then finally, capture that excitement and joy of your reception and grand exit.

I met Kris in January 2017 to book her as my photographer for my engagements, bridals, and 8 hours for my wedding. She was very professional, friendly and she lets you know everything upfront. We took our engagements around February/March they were In the country. She doesn't mind the country side. She was very patient with us and with our almost two year old. And For my bridals she came to my area where I live in (Red Rock, Tx). She made me feel beautiful during the session. She sketched out before hand each pose we did. She makes me excited for my big day in January 2018. If you want a laid back, easy going, professional photographer Kris is the one for you.

Kris was so amazing and made us feel so comfortable from the start. Our engagement photos were great, but I am beyond in love with our wedding photos! Kris is super patient and understanding about the craziness of a wedding day. They were also very affordable. Brubaker Portraits was the right choice and I would highly recommend them!

We had our first meeting with Kris Brubaker at Starbucks. She answered all of our questions and was able to provide us the details of signing a contract with her. We hired her on the spot! We are so pleased with the engagement photos she took. She’s has a great understanding of lighting. We’ve never been “posed” for photos. Kris was patient when posing is and helping us create really photographic moments. Our sunset wedding photos are GORGEOUS!! She was extremely professional and easy to work with. She succeeded with capturing the memorable moments of our special day. In addition, she understood our budget and worked with us so we could get everything we wanted. I highly recommend Brubaker Photography to others!!
