Hi, I’m Kim Graves, a Boulder-based photographer with over a decade of experience turning life’s most meaningful moments into vibrant, joy-filled images. As a hopeless romantic myself, I believe in the power of storytelling and love capturing authentic connections, whether it’s your anniversary, engagement, or elopement. My own love story led me to elope on a trailhead in Evergreen, Colorado—a perfect, intimate affair that solidified my passion for documenting love in its truest form.

My journey began in school photography as an editor before I pursued advanced studies at the Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design. Along the way, I’ve honed my craft through programs like the Elena S. Blair Mastermind and by connecting with vibrant photography communities such as Click'n Moms and Hello Story Teller. My work has been featured in Minted.com and Exeleon Women Magazine, reflecting my commitment to creativity and connection.

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me baking with my kids, walking my fur babies, or playing music. Let me help you create stunning, timeless images of your love story—photos that you’ll treasure for a lifetime.

Kind Words

If I could have given Kim more than 5 stars I would! She was very responsive, professional and so easy to work with. We had to change up details of place and time and she was very willing to work with us and punctual. She has a great personality as well so she makes everyone feel comfortable. She made sure that she made it special for my daughter to get just the special shots my daughter wanted. She went beyond what was even expected of her. I would definitely hire her again and would highly recommend her to anyone else.
Terry K.
My husband and I had a small elopement ceremony but still wanted to capture the moment and Kim was able to do just that and so much more. She responds very quickly and works with your ideas as well as helping direct you if you are unsure. We got married in Boulder in the mountains and she was not afraid to venture off on the trails with us to get the best shot. She not only took photos but helped with the nerves and cares about her customers. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing and very sweet photographer that is attentive, knowledgeable, caring, trustworthy and overall professional photographer.
Jodi I.
Kim is amazing! I worked with her on my engagement photos and they were exactly what my fiancé and I were hoping for. I would definitely work with Kim again.
