Southern California Photographer
Hey mama! You deserve to be in the photos too!
Your life is constant. Whether you are reheating your coffee for the 4th time with a baby in your arms, cutting up snacks for your toddlers, or trying to order the birthday gift while shuffling kids off to
practices, games and parties - you are the glue that holds it all together!
If you would love to document these raw moments because it all just goes too fast, you are in the right place! I am here to help you turn these non-stop days into treasures you and your babies (young and old) can cherish for a lifetime.
I am a storyteller at heart. With a filmmaking background and a love and appreciation for details, I thrive on telling your unique story in a timeless and artistic way. I seek to serve my clients with a relaxed, fun and natural portrait experience, leaving you with beautiful storytelling imagery and holding your hand every step in the process.
I love variety and I promise your gallery will be a dynamic blend of tight and wide angle shots, some posed, lots candid, with some filmy black and whites included too! I come alive in capturing a scene in several different ways and I want you to feel that warm nostalgia all over again every time you glance at your photos! I tend toward a warm and creamy edit style and appreciate neutral aesthetics that could blend into the walls of any home.
From our beautiful Southern California beaches, to meadows, natural parks, your home, or something completely different, we create your family session to best fit you guys!
You bring all that playful loving energy and I am so obsessed!

JORDAN
"If I could give Kim 100 stars I would! Kim is an expert communicator, so talented, and made us feel like old friends the second we met. We shot with our 7 month old and she was so quick and focused! We LOVE our photos and hope to shoot with her again!"
MORGAN
"We had such a wonderful experience working with Kim! She made us feel incredibly comfortable, relaxed, and uplifted throughout the entire session. Her warm presence and talent truly shine through in the photos, which beautifully capture our current / growing family. I couldn’t be happier and highly recommend her"
SOPHIA
"If you're looking for a photographer who is: impressive, thoughtful, compassionate, bright, and professional then Kim is your person! She is truly absolutely great to work with. She not only makes it comfortable during the photoshoot, but is patient - so important when you have kids and are doing a family photoshoot. She is great at her craft and is able to capture the most precious moments and each person's personality perfectly. "
MAGGIE
"Kim was such a joy to work with! She’s friendly, bubbly, and made our whole family feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Her inviting personality put us at ease right away, and the photos turned out absolutely beautiful. We’re so grateful for the memories she captured and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer!
SAMANTHA
"Kim is wonderful. She is so kind and patient as I asked her opinion on clothing, photo sites, etc. She goes above and beyond of just “snapping photos.” She is dedicated to ensuring you feel confident, comfortable, and relaxed before and during the shoot. She has detailed instructions for the best shots, including clothing, colors that look great, and location details as well—creating a stress free experience"
MEGAN
"I can’t say enough wonderful things about the experience and the results! From the moment she walked in, Kim had such a calm, kind, and patient presence—exactly what you hope for when photographing a newborn. The entire session felt relaxed and natural. The photos themselves are absolutely STUNNING. If you want someone who can capture precious memories with artistry and heart, Kim is the one."
SARAH
"I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kim!! She is truly so talented and her style is stunning. My youngest was not having it the day of but we rolled with it and still got AMAZING photos!! Kim was patient, kind, thoughtful, and communicated quickly. Plus our photos arrived early! HIGHLY rec her!!!
Not to worry! I send my clients a detailed style guide with all of my tips + tricks for the best images so you feel really confident in how you look! The wardrobe goal is naturally cohesive without being too matchy matchy!
This is absolutely okay and kind of the point with my documentary approach! Our sessions are entirely relaxed, kid-led and they will not be forced to do anything they don't want to! We are just chatting and hanging out, exploring, having a dance party to their favorite tunes, and snapping photos along the way. I will pose and guide as needed, but will give you plenty of space to just be yourselves, play, run, snuggle and simply love on each other! I want you looking at each other more than you are looking at me. That's where the true magic is made, capturing this authentic season of life you are living right now!
YAY! I will send you the booking link. A 30% retainer with the signed contract reserves your session on the calendar. The remainder is due one week prior to your session.
You will receive your beautiful gallery three weeks following your shoot date.
I love the golden hour right before sunset! If we are shooting in a setting with hills or mountains, we will lose the sun about a half hour or so sooner.
Of course! After booking, I will send over my family questionnaire to get to know you guys a little better and your preferences for your session. From there I'll send over my favorite stunning locations in Orange County that fit your vibe! If you have another idea or a unique place special to your family, I cannot wait to hear about it.
