About Kim

As a brand photographer, I am passionate about helping you build an unforgettable brand that enhances your online presence and attracts your ideal clients.

I believe my camera isn’t just a tool for capturing your appearance —
It’s a way of revealing your presence, embodiment, and self-recognition.

Photography changed my life.

I grew up unable to see my own beauty, worth, or strength. It wasn’t until my mid-40s that I truly began to inhabit myself — and that shift started with taking self-portraits. Multiple images showed me something I didn’t yet know how to name, but instantly recognized as accurate.

That moment became my mission.

Today, I work with people who are stepping into visibility — often while navigating transition, reinvention, or growth — and help them see themselves with clarity, confidence, and agency.

At the heart of my work is a simple truth:

I photograph people in the moment they stop performing and start inhabiting themselves.

This is more than a tagline.
It’s a philosophy — and a practice.

My approach is rooted in psychological depth and human connection. I create a relational space where trust, safety, and permission come first — allowing people to move from guarded or nervous into grounded, present, and unmistakably radiant.

I call this journey Nervous to Radiant.

What Makes My Approach Different

Most photography shows how someone looks.

I specialize in revealing who someone is.

Whether we’re creating bold personal brand imagery, leadership portraits, or deeply personal work that marks a new chapter, my focus is always the same:
Self-recognition, Embodiment, and Agency — not performance or posing.

My work bridges the commercial and the artistic in a way that feels human and meaningful:

  • Brand imagery that elevates visibility and opens doors

  • Portraiture that honors vulnerability, confidence, and lived experience

  • Artwork that reflects identity from the inside out — not the outside in

This philosophy doesn’t just serve brands.
It supports people in becoming — with integrity, clarity, and presence.

From nervous to radiant.
From performance to inhabiting.
From being seen — to seeing yourself.

I also invest my time in community projects.

My Identity RVA project was inspired after witnessing how our political environment was dividing us. I wanted to celebrate what we all have in common, despite our differences. Please visit my Identity RVA page to learn more.

I’m also a big believer in giving back. I invest my time and talent in helping amazing non-profits and cause-driven organizations to fulfill their missions. Girls For a Change is an organization that I am grateful to lend my support. Girls For A Change was formed in 2000 with the mission of empowering young women by inviting them to design, lead, fund and implement social change projects that tackle issues girls face in their own neighborhoods.

In addition to my work behind the camera, I am passionate about body image and confidence.

Sadly, we live in a culture that makes it hard for girls and women to feel confident about their bodies and self-image. I speak to audiences about body image and how we can create a more positive and empowered perspective about ourselves. This passion drives me to empower my clients in every photo shoot, so they look and feel their best from the inside out.
