About the Photographer

Get to know me...


Hi, I’m Kim, an Anna Maria Island beach portrait photographer who specializes in relaxed, fun, and emotion-driven photography sessions.


My approach is simple and natural. I focus on real connection, movement, and the in-between moments that often become the most meaningful images. Sessions are guided gently so you can feel comfortable and present, without anything overly posed or forced.


I photograph families, maternity, couples, newborns, and surprise proposals across Florida’s Gulf Coast, where I’m inspired by soft coastal light and natural surroundings.


I started my professional photography journey in 2021, but I’ve spent the past decade studying and practicing photography through creative coursework and personal work. Outside of photography, I spend most of my time at home or traveling with my husband Jim and our son Ben.


A few more things about me...

  • Favorite beach is Coquina Beach, AMI
  • Something I've always wanted to see is sea turtles hatching on the beach
  • I laugh a lot during sessions
  • Favorite color is pink
