Your Story, Beautifully Seen

Hi, I’m Kristie Bonner, a Memphis based photographer and the creative behind JLE Creative Collective.

My love for photography started as a teenager, when my Mom would buy me disposable cameras and I’d fill them with photos of my friends and everyday life. In my early twenties, I graduated to my first point-and-shoot camera, and one thing remained the same—I was always the one with the camera.

What started as simply wanting to capture the moments around me eventually grew into something more. Over the years, I’ve developed a deeper love for photography, creativity, and creating images that people can genuinely connect with.

JLE Creative Collective is the next chapter of something I’ve loved for a very long time—and I’m excited to share it with you.

I create vibrant, intentional imagery that celebrates personality, connection, and the moments you’ll want to remember. Whether we’re capturing a milestone, creating something bold just because, or turning an ordinary moment into something unforgettable, my goal is simple: to create photographs that feel like you.
