Hey, I’m Kim!
organized af, follows directions, can take the lead
If you’re here, you’re probably curious about me and if I’m a good fit for your second photographer search. Welcome and thank you for considering me as part of your team!
Wedding days can be stressful and filled with many different personalities. I pride myself on being able to quickly find common ground with people to help make the day run smoothly. I’m not afraid to take the lead when you need me to and I’m just as happy to stay in the background keeping folks calm and collected (especially during family portraits).
As your lead/second photographer and/or assistant, I have two main goals: 1) represent your brand to the highest degree of professionalism; and 2) ensure we’re staying organized and on time for the day’s timeline so you can focus on creating magic.
I may bug you to drink water and eat a small snack, too. We got to remember to take care of ourselves on long wedding days!
