Hey Yall!
I am so delighted that you took the time to visit my site today! What I love MOST about my job is that I get the opportunity to meet some pretty RAD people like yourself! I love getting to know and collaborate with everyone that I meet.
I am usually outside skiing whenever I get the opportunity too.
My sweet lil pup Paisley Rae, I love her more than anything

While photographing Caroline Gleich’s Climate Rally, I met another inspiration Nicole Brown. The founder of Women Who Hike
Me meeting my BIGGEST ski idol, Caroline Gleich. I attended her talk at Neptune Mountaineering about her climb on Everest.
Hey Y’all!
My name is Caroline Kaestner, I am the owner and Photographer here at Ksenia K Photography.
You might be wondering how Ksenia K Photography came about? Well, my parents adopted me from a Russian orphanage at a young age and as a remembrance of my Russian heritage my company, Ksenia K Photography, incorporates my Russian name.
After I was adopted I grew up in Houston, Texas along with two older brothers and a younger sister in the Memorial Area. Ever since I was young, there has always been a deep love and appreciation for all fields of creative art. My fascination with how I could communicate and express myself by creating something led me to pursue a degree in the field of fine arts. Eventually, I gravitated towards the specific field of photography. Discovering that the camera was an amazing tool to capture the world and tell stories through images motivated me to become a professional Photographer. I fell in love with the career I am in now, finding out that I loved the intimate experience of a photo shoot. The dynamic relationship that is created between a photographer and the subject in front of the camera is one of the many relationships I desire and strived to capture.
My goal in all my work is to allow the person to feel as if they can be fully themselves and realize that who they are is enough, perfect and worthy! I don’t want anyone to feel like they need to fake being someone different in front of the camera.
I am not just a photographer but an artist as well! I graduated from the University of North Texas with a BFA in Photography which has allowed me to explore many other mediums of work! BESIDES my love for working with my camera (DUH) I love Painting, Printmaking, Sculpting, Sketching and Digital Designing.
After graduating from the University of North Texas I moved to Colorado as SOON as I could! (Literally the day after I graduated I packed and made the long drive from Texas to Colorado). Now that I am here I could not be happier! I love all things outdoors and spending time outside is how I heal/grow/ect. Hiking and Skiing are my main passions and I am so excited to grow in those categories of my life as well as photography.
My style of photography ranges from “light and airy” to more moody richer images. I find the most delight in the “golden hour” of shooting when working with my clients. Feel free to browse around and check out my work.
Hope to hear from you soon.
-Loyally,
Caroline Kaestner, Owner of Ksenia K Photography
