It’s been far too long - w/ only a post or two since Summer 2025 I would never be able to completely catch up. But gahlee I love that I get to dabble in this passion w/ so many sweet & beautiful souls.
Welcome to my small corner of the “social-world”
I wanted to hop on here & say “hello” 👋🏼 & provide a little testimony (if you will) & insight to my goals this year. 🤍
The first few slides are me - the gal behind the camera (where I prefer to stay🤣) - & some snaps of the people I love most! 😉 followed by some of the gorgeous families I get to serve!
Because I choose not to pursue this as my main bread winner or my career - I am not allowing myself to overbook or extend my boundaries this year. (quite the same as last!) Just trying to better preserve time w/ my family, since we’ve had some shift in scheduling in our home life too. ☺️
While I tried my best for a while to be sure to share sessions & the wonderful faces that I spent lots of evenings & weekends with - let’s just be honest - it’s never been my strong suit. 🤪 (I mean goodness socials is like a whole other job!) So I’m not often very active here. Sorry yall! But I promise I’m still around!
Availability might seem slim & I will only be shooting sessions locally. But don’t hesitate to reach out to inquire. I’m not in the business of turning people away - but I’ll be as transparent as possible and refer someone else, if I don’t think I’ll be able to meet your needs.
Many have asked why I don’t do this full time; & I thought maybe I’d try to answer that;
I feel my “specialty or calling” in photography is to be cost friendly for families but still provide quality, meaningful work. (Like many of us, I think!)
And I’m ok w/ that being my limit and end goal.
I’m ok w/ sacrificing anything more than just a “gig,” if you will, in order to serve families that may wouldn’t have been able to (or simply not wanting to) budget for pictures otherwise.
Bc that’s the whole point right…whether it’s due to money or just truly not understanding the necessity of it - my hope is to show you just how special and worthwhile it is to carve out the time to make the memories…freeze the moment, I am that confident that you will thank me later!
We were that family. My mom was very intentional in making sure she documented events & milestones and we have plenty of pictures of aaaallllll the things to look back on - and I’m thankful for that.
We have our share of the JCP/Walmart studio family pics🤭 but so many are from those faithful disposable film camera - and just as you’ll likely notice w/ my style. My passion is for candid moments.
That’s where I thrive. That’s where families thrive. That’s where the Goodness of all the Wild Grace is exposed. 🤍
There is a time and place for what I can & do provide. And there is a time/place when I’m just not it and you would be better served with someone else in the photography world (the talent in our community alone is outrageous y’all!!! I’ll always have a slew of people to recommend!)
I just simply don’t want to lose the joy of doing this for “fun” - as even when doing it for fun, it can still get stressful, I’ve learned! So I like the flexibility to know I can “step back” when needed and I will not be putting my families income in jeopardy. (Maybe one day I’ll change my mind - but I’m just not quite there atm)
You all have been so supportive of me over the years - and I’m so thankful. I fear going full time would take the joy & even the ability to stay cost friendly away from the community & families I’ve built relationships with.
I learn as I go and try to stay true & authentic to your family during the post-work with a lot of love and time to the details.
I cherish the families & trust that has been shown to me and only hope you each know I work hard to provide memories and still moments for you and your family to cherish, for years to come.
Love you all,
Kimmie 🫶🏼
