I am captivated by beauty. I am moved by nature. And you can find me spending hours in art museums wherever I travel. I am endlessly inspired by landscapes and architecture and history and culture and literature. I have spent my whole life traveling, beginning as I lived abroad in my childhood. Exploring new corners of the world has given me the ability to be immersed in beauty constantly, and seeing places through my camera lens has allowed me to fall even more head over heels in love.
With my camera in hand, I am a visual storyteller. And let me tell you, your love story is my favorite of all.

"Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself."
What truly takes my breath away is the way you two will look at each other on your wedding day. Of all of the beauty in the world, what I find the most lovely is the way you and your family care for each other. The expression of human emotion is what I live for—the tiniest touch of a hand, wiping tears from your lover’s cheek, and the joy that radiates from your eyes as you promise forever to each other under a shade tree, overlooking the water, with all of your friends and family present.
Dear reader
My goal for your wedding photography is that you can feel it all again. Wherever life brings you in the future, your wedding IMAGES will capture where it started. Your love story is just beginning.
xoxo,
Kimberly

ARTIST'S STATEMENT
I've been traveling for as long as I can remember. I spent my childhood living in Southeast Asia, and I have been scheming to see more of the world every day since. Whether in Paris or Cape Town, I am inspired by culture, history, cuisine, and language. You will find me all over the globe in every spare moment I have, capturing beauty at every turn. There is nothing that thrills me more than telling love stories in unique places that mean everything to you.
TRAVEL
A tiny known fact about me: my major in college was English Literature. I chose this because all I knew at 18 years old was that I loved to read and write. Literature has always been one of my deep loves, and I am often happiest on days spent with my nose deep in a book. I've always loved love stories—the messy, the beautiful, and the complexity of human emotion. There is such artistry in capturing authenticity and raw emotion on the page of a book.
LITERATURE
What high school student drags her family to every Impressionist art exhibit in their city? This one. From my middle school days in the darkroom to my obsession with Renoir, I have loved art for my whole life. Learning to create art with my camera was pure joy. I began on film at a young age, and have loved continuing to work on both film and digital as a wedding photographer. Why is Renoir my favorite artist, you ask? While he captured and created light on his canvas, his true subject was the emotion between people.

Fashion is a bit of an obsession for me, and wedding fashion is no different. I will swoon over your Jimmy Choos and make sure to feature those gorgeous red bottoms at your engagement session. I will absolutely grin with delight at the sight of your YSL bag at your welcome party. Wearing a vintage Rolex? Stop it right now. But fashion is about so much more than a name. I love seeing your unique style shine through in your wardrobe and accessories, so whatever you choose, wear it with confidence.
