About Me

Hi, I'm Kiara!

(Pronounced like “Tiara” - but with a K) and I am a wedding photographer in Boise, Idaho!

When I was 10 years old, my mom gave me my first camera for Christmas. I was a cheerleader at the time, so naturally, I brought my camera to every cheer competition and would take photos all day long of all of my friends. The best part of every competition was sending out my album to my teammates and hearing about how much the girls & their moms loved them.

My entire life, when asked what my dream job was, I would always say “a stay at home mom... or a wedding photographer!” But the latter always felt like a distant dream or something that I couldn’t do for some reason. While I was in the process of planning my wedding and booking vendors, I would ask every vendor that I interviewed how they got into what they were doing. And the answer was common among all of them: they just started. So I decided to pursue my dream also, by just starting. I am so grateful for what God has done through Kiara Cress Photo already, and I am so eager and ready to see what else in store!

I love being outdoors, and I love green places with all my heart. I’d drive any distance to sit in a lush field for even just an hour. I love Jesus and my love for His creation is the lens I see through and the perspective through which I capture all of my work. I can't wait to meet you and to capture some of the most beautiful parts of your story :)
