About Us


Style Life Photography is a photography studio located in Utica, Ohio. I (Kris) graduated in 2005 with a degree in Digital Media Design and began a part-time professional photography business. In 2008, I married Samaria and we combined our talents to proceed with a full-time Photography and Graphic Design career.

Christ is above all the center of our lives, and it is to Him that we owe all our talents. It is because of Him that we have the amazing opportunity to work together, doing what we love!

We love hanging out with family and our best friends, exploring new cities, Panera Bread, camping, interior design and old houses, sweet tea, summer, music, and kids! Samaria gave birth to our first child in July of 2011. We totally LOVE being parents to adorable little Lincoln James.

What do we do? Photography.

But not really.... Our ultimate passion is for three things...

defining style. Style defines your life. Tell’s the world who you are, where you belong! When you see the same style as your own it makes your heart beat faster. What is your’s? The way we see it, us photographing you is us defining the style of your life. Telling the world your story! Which runs into our next passion... journaling your life. You only have one.
