Kristen Onderdonk was raised in upstate New York but spent as much time as possible in sunny Key West since the age of two and officially moved to her island home in 2006. With a background in photography since high school and throughout college the islands were an easy place to find inspiration. The boundless color and flavors had her hooked. After building years of portrait photography under her belt, she shifted her focus to candids and street scenes, capturing the life all around her wherever she landed.
She’s always had a strong passion for travel and has captured timeless images from around the world including Cuba, Italy, Costa Rica, France & Jamaica. With 2 young children and her husband splitting their time between Key West and Asheville life is good and the options are endless!
“Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still.” Dorthea Lange
