—  About

Kirsten Martinez is a Chicago-based commercial photographer with 15 years of experience across every corner of the industry — working as a photographer, digital tech, retoucher and assistant on high-production shoots for brands including Papyrus Greeting Cards, Kohl's, Arhaus Furniture, and Harley-Davidson.

Beginning her career in Cleveland, Ohio, Kirsten has since worked in Milwaukee, Los Angeles, and Chicago, bringing a behind-the-scenes understanding of what makes a great image — and a full perspective of what it takes to produce one, from producing and styling, to shooting and retouching. That depth of experience is what she now channels into her own commercial practice, where she specializes in brand, social media, and e-commerce photography for small businesses.

Since launching her own brand in 2017, Kirsten has focused on what she loves most — making professional-quality commercial photography accessible to small businesses, helping them tell their visual story through imagery that stops people mid-scroll. Her goal is simple: every client leaves a shoot feeling confident their vision was captured beautifully.
