Vancouver Brand and family photographer

Hey! I’m Kim. 

I’m a Vancouver-based brand photographer who weaves creativity with strategy.

With a background in marketing and communications, I don’t just take nice photos — I create images that actually do the job they were made to do: Help your brand stand out and stay top of mind with the right people, tell your story genuinely, all while fitting seamlessly into your website and marketing campaigns. My quick-to-laugh approach makes shoots feel easy, and my strategic side ensures your branding photos aren’t just pretty — they serve their purpose.

“I had the pleasure of working with Kim on two projects, and the experience was exceptional. As someone working with a professional photographer for the first time, Kim made the entire process effortless...

...She photographed our educational workshops, capturing spontaneous moments of students collaborating and learning...The photos are natural, relaxed, and beautifully representative of the important educational work we do. Highly recommend Kim for anyone looking for a photographer who brings professionalism, artistry, and genuine care to their work."

“I have worked with Kim on several branding photography projects. Her attention to detail and creativity blow me away every time!

She is one of the most patient photographers I have ever worked with and has the unique gift of making you feel comfortable while you shoot! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a branding photographer!"

Kim is a GREAT photographer and human! I've worked with her for 5 years and she always great to work with. Responsive with planing, scheduling. Shows up on time, has the right gear and expertise to manage weird lighting, space, etc. The photos always turn out AMAZING. Can she really love taking photos, and that comes through as she is working, just a pleasure to have her around. THANK YOU Kim!

Working with Kim was such a lovely experience. I don’t usually feel comfortable in front of a camera, but Kim instantly put me at ease with her calm, warm presence. The session felt natural and unhurried, and I truly felt supported throughout.
Kim has a beautiful way of seeing people and capturing them as they are. My headshots feel like me—confident, approachable, and authentic—and that means so much.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Kim to anyone looking for headshots that feel real, thoughtful, and professionally done.

Kim is hands down the best photographer I’ve worked with. I’ve hired her multiple times for branding photography, event photography, and family portraits and she has wowed me every single time. Kim brings incredible energy to every shoot. She’s organized, gives clear direction before and during the session, and truly understands how to capture the essence of my brand and who I am. Her editing skills are the cherry on top!

My team and I always have a blast during our shoots and the results speak for themselves. We’ve had her at our Engel & Völkers events and my clients couldn’t stop raving about the photos she captured. I highly recommend Kim and will continue working with her for all my photography needs! - Bronwyn Bertles, Realtor

Kim did a bunch of photos for my website refresh and new marketing strategy for my clinic Honey + Garlic Health Studio. I can't recommend her enough! Her work speaks for itself, but beyond that, she was so lovely to work with. Very kind and thoughtful, easy going but diligent and detail-oriented as well.

Kim is amazing at what she does! A true hard working professional! For family photos was fantastic at engaging everyone and capturing beautiful photos! Well worth the investment!
Kim was our wedding photographer and working with her has been one of the most amazing parts of our wedding planning journey! She was beyond accommodating as our wedding festivities stretched through 2 provinces and 3 cities. She was very helpful, not only when it came to photography questions, but in helping us plan the best day possible. In terms of the photos- AMAZING! My husband and I have been beyond thrilled. Both our engagement photos and our wedding photos show all the joy we experienced and are truly a reflection of the happiness we feel. When meeting Kim, we immediately felt at ease and had such a wonderful time during all the photo shoots. We are a little sad that everything wedding related is over because now we don't get to see her! She is truly wonderful and we are so thrilled that she was our photographer!

There are no words to describe our wedding photos, you have to see them, to believe it! She captured so many special moments candidly and perfectly. Kim was by far the best and easiest decision we made when it came to planning our wedding.

I’ve always wanted to collaborate with Kim so I was thrilled to have her take photos of a ceremony I designed and led to honour a woman’s transition into motherhood. When I saw the images I was blown away and instantly reminded of the value of professional photography to capture meaningful moments in time. The collection I received has the variety I was hoping for, all the essential moments, and the light was captured beautifully. Kim’s soft and grounding nature added to the atmosphere of the day without interfering as I guided the group experience. I’m already anticipating our next collaboration!

My husband and I had the absolute honour of having Kim as our maternity photographer. We had an idea in our minds of what we wanted and she made that come to life with such ease and put her own creative magic on it, and we couldn't be more in love with the photos/art that she created for us. It can be overwhelming and intimidating trying to find the right photographer and I know I spent a lot of time researching and reading reviews, because photographs are an investment. And I wanted to write this review to *highly recommend you to have Kim as your photographer! She's kind, professional, beyond talented and I can guarantee you will absolutely love them!!!
