About

In my opinion, the most precious moments don’t happen in a studio. Real moments happen in real places, which is why, as a location photographer. I will travel to YOUR location to capture the magic of YOUR most priceless family moments.

I don’t just take photos, I tell a story, and as with any story.

We were very happy with Kimberly and the photos we received from her! I spent a long time searching for a reasonably priced outdoor mini session in SF and was so glad when I found Kimberly. I loved her photos and the model made so much sense to me. We signed up for a mini session via pearachute. She was super easy to find in Sutton heights park and as she promised, there was loads of parking right by. Kimberly could not have been better with our 6 month old, bringing out all the stops to ensure we had a smiley baby in our holiday card. She offered helpful suggestions for poses and was patient with us as me figured things out.And what's most important - we're very happy with the photos! She delivered them in a super timely fashion and the whole process was super seamless. More...

Kimberly is amazing with kids. She took Amelia's pictures at UCSF and took her pictures at home 8+ days later. We recently took her 6. 5 month shoot and we can't be any happier with her photos. We just love working with her ❤️ More...

Kimberly is an amazing photographer and person. She shot both our maternity and newborn pictures and we were overwhelmed with the results. She has great patience with babies and really brought the inner angel out of our fussy daughter. Kimberley's experience and specialty with newborns really sets her apart from others, she knows just the right positions and shots to capture their unique beauty. She brought all the backdrops, props, and baskets, worked around our schedule and locations making the entire process a pleasure.

Babies change so much every week so my wife and I feel so fortunate we trusted Kimberly to capture this irreplaceable time in our lives. We will definitely be calling her again!

We had so much fun taking maternity photos with Kim! She didn't make us do awkward poses, she just let us have fun! She also was prepared with cool locations for our photos. She laughed with us, and made us feel really comfortable. She also made sure my clothes and hair were all in place which made me feel even more comfortable that we'd have a great set of photos!

Can't wait for more sessions with Kim!

When my dad got sick, all of a sudden it became a critical time to get family photos taken as soon as possible.  We hadn't had professional family pictures taken in years! I turned to Kimberly with the special request she meet my family and me in Manhattan Beach (CA).  She typically works around the Bay Area.  Not only that, it was right around Thanksgiving that I asked her to make time for us, time she'd planned to spend with her own family.  She didn't waiver a moment!  She immediately agreed and helped us figure out that a beach shoot would work great.  The morning of the shoot, my niece and nephew were tired and cranky, my dad in and out of coughing fits.  Kimberly worked efficiently, naturally, patiently, and warmly with each of us, offering suggestions and guidance as we moved around to a few different locations. Most of my family are not big into having photos taken of ourselves.  She instantly made us feel more at ease, and even got the kids to loosen up and have fun (no small feat!).  The quality of the photos and the tremendous emotional comfort they bring are unparalleled in anything we'd experienced.  There weren't words to describe our gratitude for Kimberly's work in documenting that special, though difficult time for our family.  She is one of the most creative, talented, thoughtful people with whom we have had the pleasure to work.  If you don't hire her, you're missing a valuable opportunity to build on memories that will last a lifetime.  Her personable, easy going, accommodating demeanor coupled with her technical capabilities and knowledge set her apart from all of the other professional photographers I've met.  And I work in the industry ;) More...

Kim photographed our baby boy at 17 days old, and I just have to say the experience was simply FANTASTIC! As a first time mom with newborn, it was hectic enough juggling everything, but Kim made the session so smooth and enjoyable. She brought all her own equipment, props, and outfits, which are adorable (definitely ask for the lion outfit). She was also so wonderful, warm, and patient with our fussy baby. I call her the "baby whisperer" since she was able to calm him down after just a few seconds of shushing, something I still not have been able to do! I felt so at ease with her in my house and working with our newborn. She has a ton of experience working at UCSF maternity ward and it really shows. Lastly, the photographs turned out AMAZING. Super high quality, professional, diverse, fun, and really captures the essence of our baby. I couldn't wait to show them to all of our family & friends! We will definitely use her again for holiday photos and as our son grows! More...

I wanted to surprise my wife with a maternity shoot and Kim was awesome.  Other than our wedding we have never hired a photographer,  but as soon as we met at Ocean Beach Kim was casual but professional in directing us.  She put us at ease and got some amazing images of us together.  As we were wrapping up she asked if we had any other favorite spots nearby and we all ended up traveling to the Redwood Grove by the Rose Garden for even more great memories.  I thought I had left plenty of time as the baby was not due for another month, but she came just a week later!  We recieved our digital album link while in the hospital and were so thankful Kim was able to capture my wife and I together before the arrival of our little one.

Kimberly was prompt, patient, creative and FUN.  She captured pictures of our daughters as newborns that are amazing.  Kimberly has photographed our girls and our family for the last 4 years and we could not be happier.  The best time to photograph a baby is in the first week or two after birth.  They change so much and so fast so her pictures are just priceless to us now.

We first booked Kimberly for our daughter's newborn photos, which easily could have been a nerve-wracking experience for first time parents. Instead, it was one of the warmest, calmest shoots ever. She talked us through what to expect before arriving, was in and out of our home in about an hour, and followed up shortly after the shoot before sending us so many sweet (and funny!) photos. Since then, she's chronicled the growth of our kid every several months (it's almost time for 3-year-old pics!) and each time is better than the last. She is always a pleasure to work with and we know we'll treasure all the photos she's taken when we're old and gray. We highly recommend Kimberly as your next photographer! More...

We loved working with Kimberly to photograph our son at 2 weeks old. She asked some questions up front as to what we were looking for and who would participate in our photo shoot. She was prompt and professional for the shoot. Our son got a little fussy at times and she was able to keep him calm and engaged, which was amazing! She was patient with the family as we wanted our dogs in our family picture with our son. The pictures turned out great! We got canvas photos, birth announcements and prints at reasonable prices. Thanks Kimberly for capturing our precious moments together! More...

Kimberly is simply THE BEST!! She's prompt, professional, patient, warm, and has a natural eye for getting that perfect shot that will make your heart melt. I was nervous that my 1 week old baby would be fussy and crying during the photo shoot and we wouldn't end up with great photos. But Kimberly is a baby whisperer. She came to our home and captured our family and gave our child a fantastic memory of his childhood home. She took such great care of our baby during the shoot and his father and I were able to just sit back and relax, which was great since we have had such little sleep. We didn't have to do anything!As for the photos Kimberly perfectly captured our son. They are the most beautiful newborn photos I've ever seen. It's 100% worth the investment to end up with precious photos like these. I would recommend Kim to anyone and everyone looking for the BEST NEWBORN/FAMILY photographer. I am looking forward to using her again in the future! More...

Kimberly has photographed our daughter and family throughout her first year. Kimberly really listens to her clients to make sure she understands what they want and makes magic happen on the day of the shoot. She has a wonderful knack for photographing children and provides more than family pictures...it is art. She is on time, sincere, and artistic. We have no reason to look anywhere else for a family photographer because she it IT! We absolutely love Kimberly and know others will too! More...

Q&As

The art of photography is much more than simply producing pictures on paper. It’s about capturing the spirit and love of your family for you to reflect on in the years to come. In our busy lives, it is so important to take some time every now and then to capture the unique milestones in life.

One of the most rewarding aspects of my job is getting to know you and your family. By doing so, I can create portraits that reflect your families unique character. It is an honor and a joy to meet so many families and I look forward to working with yours in the future.

Photography really chose me. Each time my life changed, photography was there to catch me. I studied fine art, and I have a teaching credential, but life just kept pushing me towards photography. I love being able to watch my clients' children grow, and being more than jus their photographer. The relationships that I can build because I have this business is why I keep at it.

If you want your session to be light and fun, then you are int he right place. I am not the photographer that's going to slow down the shoot so I can turn your chin a certain way. I shoot through so potentially awkward moments (don't worry, no one will see those), to find those true and beautiful pauses in time. When it comes to time, I am very flexible. Nap schedules can be unpredictable. That's why I only book two sessions a day – one in the morning and the other in the afternoon. If a session needs to be pushed back 30 minutes because your toddler went down for a nap, I get it. Let's push back that session, because it'll make it easier for all of us.

Services

On the day of your session, we’ll meet at the agreed time and location and get the fun started! We can take as much time as needed to get your little ones used to the camera, to feel relaxed, safe and comfortable. Be sure to bring some yummy snacks and water for your child and for yourself.

I encourage you and your children to interact, play and have fun during the session. This allows me to capture the natural bond that shines between you. Children are unpredictable, that’s what makes them so lovable! We can always take a little snack or cuddle break.
After your session

Approximately two weeks after your session, you will be able to view your images in an online gallery. I understand that it might not be easy for you to decide on your order right away. When you are ready to choose the images, let me know. Together, we can decide what you’d love to see on your walls at home, framed on your desk, or in an heirloom album. I’ll help you figure out the sizes and styles that fit your needs.

Are you in need of more images for your business's Instagram account or website? Let me help you with that. I'll join you for a period of time to tell the story of how the kids interact at your store, ballet classes, ceramic studio, preschool, etc. Prices vary, but I am also open to working for trade! I think it's incredibly fun to trade services for local businesses.
