What You Can Expect

Kind Words

Kim went above & beyond to make us feel comfortable and natural. My husband (who is not a picture person) was amazed by how easy going and relaxed the shoot was! My son (2 years old) felt completely comfortable around Kim who was patient, warm & kind to him! We could not have been able to find a better photographer for our maternity & our newborn pictures!

— Laura, Essex Maryland

I am SO happy I listened to Kim and did some photos in our home. I love them so much, even more than the ones we did outside, which is what I thought I wanted.

— Laura Herzig, Clarksville Maryland

Thanks to Kim's photos, I will always have proof of the beauty in the day to day home life with small kiddos!

Payment plans available

I know choosing what to wear can sound like a daunting task but I have you covered, no pun intended. ;) After you book, I'll send you a detailed prep guide and a link to Style and Select - a cool interactive tool that helps you take the guesswork out of it.

My prep guide has links to affordable options, but also has lots of ideas that you likely have in your own closet.

WHAT SHOULD WE WEAR?

Yes please! Your pets are part of the family and your family photos wouldn't be the same without them in at least some! I have always had pets myself so am very comfortable with all types of animals and more than happy to include your fur babies too. In fact, it just adds for even larger galleries!

Can My dogs participate?


Frequently

asked

Questions

Your family photo gallery will be connected to one of the nations highest quality labs with affordable print prices of all sizes. You can also download your purchased images and print wherever you like and I'll send a list of suggested labs. My most frequently suggested lab is Mpix.com

Where should I print my Photos?

I fully guarantee my work, but let me elaborate here. If your baby is super fussy and we just can't make it work that day, we'll wrap it up, get you back newborn snuggles and I'll come back another day. We never need this because I'm insanely patient and have a lot of tricks up my sleeve, but the option is there if we needed it. ;)


What if my baby is fussy or toddler doesn't cooperate?

I do not and I honestly love it this way. I have had multiple studios (6 to be exact) over the years, but fell deep in love with in-home lifestyle newborn photography years ago. I haven't looked back since. I find that babies and families are much more comfortable in their own environment, and the experience is what you'll remember when you look back at your photos. You don't need a perfect home - just a little light and a lot of love. Read more on that below.....

Do you have a studio?

I save the best question for last. This is almost everyone's concern and I really enjoy showing people how little it matters the day of the session.

I have photographed families in all types of homes. From a single room in a tiny apartment, to sprawling mansions that were immaculately decorated. I can tell you with 100% certainty that it doesn't matter. It's about the light, and your connections. We can find that anywhere you are.  We can use as much or as little of your home as you'd like. If you have great decor, awesome, we can include tiny bits. Nothing at all on the walls because you just moved in? Great! We have lots of white backgrounds and simplicity! Truth be told, we spend a lot of time near windows and I will guide you before the session as what to expect. No need to fully clean or prep, it's a lot easier than you think.

What if my home is too small, or not decorated? Or too Dark?
