who believes connection is everything. I love with my whole heart and go to any lengths, within my capacity, for genuine kind hearted people. I find beauty in the "in between" moments.
I crave moments of stillness in the mountains. Laughing is a MUST and I will always find the silver lining of any situation.
One of the brightest spots in my life is witnessing and helping people grow through the new beginnings and endings of their lives. It would be an honor to photograph these priceless moments for you.
Throughout my life, I have experienced a lot of loss, where I learned about regret. The honest truth is life can change in the blink of an eye. I quickly regretted not having memories of life with the people I loved most. The adventures, the giggles, and the "you had to be there" moments. They slipped on by.
My journey with photography started in 2013. Back then, I photographed everything—big moments, small moments, and those quiet, fleeting moments in between that are so easily missed. I was asked to sit in the front row of my family’s and friends’ lives, documenting the memories they never want to forget, has always felt like the greatest honor.
Over the years, life has shaped me into the photographer I am today. I carry with me the laughter I shared with my mom, the way my grandmother would gently stroke my forehead while I sat in her lap, and the wild adventures in the Sawooths with my husband and our doodle, Enzo. Navigating planning my own wedding to walk down the aisle to marry the love of my life. Lastly, my baby boy, introduced to a new hood… motherhood. Becoming a mother to our Henry has given me a deeper understanding of how life’s biggest moments are stitched together by the tiny, meaningful ones in between.
What a gift to grow and experience the slow down, to pay attention, and find the beauty in every season of life. When you choose me as your photographer, you’re not just hiring someone with a camera—you’re inviting someone who will adventure wildly with you, belly laugh with you the whole time, celebrate greatly with you, and truly see YOU as YOU are. I'd be so over joyed to create something unforgettable together because ya know… life’s worth remembering. I'm so here for it!

“Kim takes amazing pictures and I don't want that to be overshadowed. But the entire experience was PERFECT. From ease of contact initially, to meeting up in Stanley where there is spotty coverage, and once we met, the fun began. We had so much fun this felt more like hanging out with an old friend with a side of picture taking. With the most amazing pictures as a result. She can turn a shoulder of the road into what looks like an untouched pristine meadow with her artistic eye and professional touch. If you are debating on photographers, stop it. Call Kim."
Amazing. Top to bottom. We had so much fun this felt more like hanging out with an old friend with a side of picture taking.
