Hi there!

I'm Kieran (she/her) and I love telling stories.

When my grandma gave me a pink, Samsung point and shoot camera at 11, the photo bug bit me. Time goes by so quickly, but by taking a picture we save parts of our stories forever. FPS is a queer, woman-owned business and all are welcome here.

Fingerprint Photo Studio FAQ

My Photography Style

I use a fluid and movement filled modeling style to capture genuine laughs, secret smiles, and get you comfortable in front of the lens. I find that the best photos are the natural, candid, ones with your real emotions and joy on display!

My Editing Style

My goal is to give you photos you'll love decades from now just as much as the moment you see them. I emulate a timeless approach inspired by the colors and lighting of the shoot's location. My photos are rich and full so you can feel back in the moment. I edit out acne, distracting signage, and help tame hair- but I believe in authenticity. I do not remove rolls, double chins, or otherwise edit people's body type. Your photos should make you feel confident in yourself, because you are wonderful as is!

Travel Fees

Travel up to 30 miles from Richmond, VA is complimentary. After that, it is IRS standard of 67 cents/mile for 2024. Anywhere farther than a three-hour drive will require reimbursement for a night of lodging.

Diversity & Inclusion

Fingerprint Photo Studio is a proud, queer, woman-owned business. This business is a safe space for everyone, regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation, and gender identity.

Some Things About Kieran

Favorite Foods

Dessert is my favorite meal of the day - especially if it's related to chocolate. My top "real food" is either Panang Curry or Stuffed Shells.

What I'm Up To

Editing photos on the go and playing with our pug, Francesca! My wife, Sabine, and I love exploring. While I am based in Virginia, don't let distance stop you from reaching out.

Photography Background

I started taking photos in middle school for the school yearbook, then my high school litmag, and finally went to Old Dominion University where I earned a BFA in Photography and Print Media! After graduating during the pandemic, I worked in marketing to save up funds before opening Fingerprint Photo Studio in 2024. Now I get to focus on photography full time!

Go To Binge Watch

When it's a family TV night, we go to "Worst Cooks in America" on the Food Network. I'll also throw on a sitcom like "Scrubs" or "Arrested Development".
