Hey, I’m Kim. Full-time ER nurse, small biz dreamer, fur mama, and proud mama to one wildly magical little girl. Life is full—messy, loud, beautiful—and that’s exactly how I show up behind the camera. I’m not here to pose you like a mannequin or coax fake smiles out of your toddler. I’ll meet you exactly where you are—camera in hand, heart wide open.

I bring calm when things feel chaotic, laughter when it lightens the mood, and a grounded presence that makes space for the real stuff. If you’re looking for stiff poses and flawless perfection, I might not be your girl. But if you’re drawn to emotion, movement, and storytelling that feels like home—we just might be a perfect match.

My vision is simple: to create images that feel like you. Not the filtered, curated version, but the honest, soulful truth that lives in the in-between moments. I want your photos to feel like a memory—real, raw, and deeply felt. The way your baby fit just right in your arms. The glance you shared when no one was watching. The wild joy and quiet chaos of parenthood.

I’m inspired by the beautifully imperfect pieces of life: the belly laugh of a toddler discovering their voice, the strength in a mother’s gentle hold, the wordless connection between people who love each other deeply. These are the moments that matter. These are the stories I’m here to tell.

This work is about more than pretty pictures. It’s about emotion. Connection. Legacy. And my lens is here to honor it all.
