About
I started back in 2015 with 'Stephen Clint Weddings' located in L.A., and started freelancing back in 2016 locally. I traveled back and forth from the Springs until recently when I had my first baby. It is such a huge blessing to have a little one and he has become my forever muse. I am getting back into booking gigs starting with portraits. I have experience in weddings as a first and second photographer, have photographed engagements and various portraits. I love creating together with others and I'm always looking for a new project to get my hands on. I strive to meet the needs of my clients as best as I can through open communication. I hope that we can create some magic together!

I recommend everyone work with Kimberly! She was fantastic from the moment I first reached out, responding promptly, understanding my vision, and sharing her recommendations (while still being flexible). As the day of my wedding approached, she recommended we get on a Zoom call to talk through the details. I was so impressed with the thoughtfulness she brought to the call! Every question and idea was so helpful and personal, making sure everything was accounted for. On the day of, she was in town early and arrived before our start time, so she was ready to start shooting right away. She spent ample time capturing all the details of our special day, providing additional recommendations for new shots in real time. We loved working with her! And receiving the photos was the cherry on top. They were absolutely stunning, and she sent so many final, retouched photos! Since the gallery was so large, it took the full four weeks to deliver, but it was well worth the wait, and Kimberly shared updates with me throughout (and some previews)! I can't recommend her enough. You won't be disappointed!

Kimberly was amazing! She was great at picking a location for us and walking us through how to get into different poses that looked best. She was super patient when I was not super agile and slower due to being so pregnant and she took her time and never rushed us! I’ve recommended her to multiple friends now to get their maternity pictures done as well :)

Kimberly went above and beyond to make our experience exceptional!! My husband and I have had professional photos taken several times before, but we have never felt as comfortable in front of the camera as we did working with Kimberly. She made posing feel easy and natural, and was sure to include all of the specific shots I requested. The quality of the edited photos is absolutely unmatched. I am so glad we found her because not only do we now have gorgeous photos to commemorate our anniversary, we also have such fond memories of the time spent taking the photos. 10/10 would recommend booking Kimberly!!

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I believe the best photographs come from building genuine relationships with my clients. My process begins with getting to know you—your vision, personalities, and what matters most to you. From there, I’ll guide you through every step, from planning locations, timelines, and outfit suggestions (if needed) to answering any questions along the way. On the day of your session or wedding, I focus on creating a relaxed, enjoyable experience while capturing authentic moments as they naturally unfold. After your session, I carefully hand-edit every image and deliver your photographs in a private online gallery, creating timeless memories you’ll treasure for years to come.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
My passion for photography started in my early teens. It allowed my creative side to flourish. In 2015, Stephen Clint Weddings (based in Los Angeles), saw my work through a mutual friend on Facebook. He reached out and asked me if I would like to intern for him! I met him and his team and photographed a wedding with him for 12 hours. At the end of the night, he welcomed me into his team and for 4 years I was blessed to have photographed weddings with them! I have done different types of portraiture and I thank a lot of my growth and experience from my time with Stephen Clint Weddings.
Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
A recent project I’m especially proud of was traveling to Minnesota with my team to photograph a wedding. It was the perfect mix of adventure, creativity, and storytelling. The couple was wonderful, the celebration was beautiful, and exploring a new place together made the experience even more memorable. The trip lasted about three days, with an 8-hour wedding day, and it’s a project I’d happily relive all over again.
