About
Hi, I'm Kimia, a photographer based in Bay Area. I've always had a passion for capturing the world around me, and I'm so grateful to have turned that passion into a career. I specialize in Wedding/Portrait/Family/Engagement/ Maternity photography, and I love using my creativity and technical skills to tell stories through my photographs.
Photography is my lifetime passion. I love capturing people's most special moments. Having an art background and learning that academically helped me to bring a new vision into my work, besides that I always enjoy coming up with new ideas to make my works different.
I approach each shoot with a focus on capturing real, candid moments that show the emotions and personalities of my subjects. I believe that the best images are the ones that evoke a feeling or tell a story, and I strive to create that kind of magic in every picture I take.
If you're looking for a photographer who will help you capture the beauty and emotion of your special moments. Thanks for stopping by, Let’s get in touch, I'd love to hear from you!

We couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our wedding! From the very beginning she made us feel completely at ease, and it shows in every photo. What amazed us most was her gift for capturing the moment. The happy tears during the vows, the laughter at the toasts, all those little in-between glances we didn't even know happened. Looking through our gallery feels like reliving the day all over again. We can't recommend her enough!

We had such a wonderful experience with Kimia Photography for our daughter’s birthday party! The photos came out absolutely gorgeous and the quality was amazing. She captured the event so beautifully and delivered the images in a very timely manner.
Kimia arrived right on time, was incredibly professional, and was such a pleasure to have at the party. She brought such warm, positive energy throughout the event and made everything feel easy and natural. We’re so happy with the photos and would highly recommend Kimia Photography for any photography needs!

Kimia and her second shooter were wonderful to work with for our Women In Product conference. From the start, Kimia was easy to communicate with, kind, and thoughtful. She understood the spirit of our community-focused event, and it showed in the moments they captured. From the energy on stage to the connections happening throughout the day, they got the vibes.
The photos' quality and the turnaround were exceptional. After a long, very full event day, Kimia delivered a highlight set in under 18 hours and the full gallery in under 36 hours. Being able to share photos with our speakers, sponsors, and community while everyone was still buzzing about the event was incredibly valuable.
Her work was an excellent value, and we’re so grateful for the care she and her second shooter brought to the experience. I’d happily work with them again and highly recommend them!
I am so glad I booked Kimia for my son's wedding! The photos came out great! She was so professional and easy to work with. She showed up on time, took great photos, and needed very little direction from me, allowing me to enjoy the event. She didn't have any assistants or bulky equipment, she blended in to the event well, and everyone complimented me on my choice of photographer. The family pictures were great but some of the candid moments she captured were my favorite. I highly recommend and would definitely hire again!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I try to make my pricing as accommodating as possible, getting hired through Thumbtack, my client is getting best deal.
My price is based on time of the service, there is a minimum one hour session fee and you can extend the time for additional hourly rate.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
when new client reach out to me, I usually ask about their vision and the ideas. if they need consultation I will set up a time to go over detail either through phone or zoom, this way they will have a chance to know me and I will know about them before meeting them in person of the date of the event.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Photography is my always passion as long as I can remember, I took my first very photography class in high school working with film and developing film in the dark room! I got my MFA in photography from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville and took multiple wedding photography workshop before officially start my career as an event photographer.
I believe learning must be part of my everyday life, I don't stop searching for what new tool and changes are happening in the market!
