hi, I'm kimmy

Making business owners look like the main character since 2016.

Brand photographer in Salem, Oregon. Systems nerd in secret. The person who looks at your big, messy vision and says, okay, here's how we shoot it, and here's how we put it to work.

the short version

Nine years behind the feed.

I started managing social media for local businesses nine years ago, and it took off. Hundreds of clients across the Pacific Northwest later, I've written the captions, planned the calendars, and shot the photos and videos that kept their feeds alive.

Somewhere in there I noticed something. The posts that booked clients weren't always the prettiest ones. They were the ones with a job to do, from a business owner with a plan behind them. The prettiest feeds were often run by the most exhausted people, chasing every trend and posting out of panic.

So now I do one thing, all the way: brand photography with the system behind it. I'm not leaving social media behind. I'm putting it into your photos.

Sweet, with a little spice.

When I'm not behind the camera, I'm a girl mom, a doodle mom, and married to my business partner, Chad. We run a second business together, which is exactly why I'm a little obsessed with systems. They're what let us close the laptop and be home for the good stuff.

What I believe, in one line

We're not meant to chase. We're meant to attract.

Stop being the best kept secret in the room. The right people are looking for you. Let's make you easy to find and easy to choose, with systems underneath doing the heavy lifting, so you can close the laptop and go live your life.

Pretty photos. Serious systems.

I've run my whole business on one Trello board for years. I used AI to build the website for the business Chad and I run together, and it books meetings while we sleep. Systems are the quiet reason I get to be creative and still have a life. Because that's the whole point. We don't build businesses to work more. We build them so we can enjoy our beautiful lives. Now those systems are part of every shoot.

  1. Photos with a job

    Every shoot is planned around what's happening in your business, so every photo has somewhere to go.

  2. The system behind them

    Every gallery ends with The Afterparty, so your photos leave the gallery and go to work.

  3. Rooms worth showing up for

    Workshops and gatherings where we build together and you meet the women who'll cheer you on.

a few little things

Working with me feels like.

It feels more like hanging out than being photographed. I direct you when you need it and disappear when you don't.

On shoot day

You'll know the plan before we shoot and exactly what to post when your gallery lands. That's the promise, every time.

Before and after

I'll cheer for your launch, hand you everything you need to keep going on your own, and be here when you're ready for the next chapter.

For the long haul
