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.

Kim did an amazing job with our family photos! She did an excellent job and got the right playful shots with our two year old. Also, she was extremely patient with us while trying to get excellent shots with our 3-month-old. We will definitely use her next year for our family photos!

We had such a pleasant experience working with Kim for our photoshoot. We took pictures with our family pet who we were going to have to put down soon. Kim was so thoughtful, understanding and patient with the sensitivity of the shoot and the pictures turned out beautifully. I would absolutely recommend her and will be hiring her again for future pictures. Thank you again Kim for giving us a special memory to hold onto.

My husband and I eloped and then hosted a separate reception party for our friends and family. Kim took our reception photos and did a lovely job! We had very limited windows of time to get posed photos and Kim did such a great job wrangling everyone. She captured all the special moments throughout the night without missing a beat.
