A joy chasing,

Idaho photographer capturing real connection,
messy wonder,
and star soaked skies.
Hey, I’m Kim!
Photographer.
Storyteller.
Legacy Maker.
Light Chaser.
Wife. Mama.
Joy seeker.
The heart of my work is capturing the
raw, joy-filled beauty of your story—whether you're saying I do, dancing barefoot in the kitchen with your kids, or breathing in that soul-deep stillness only the mountains bring.
I believe connection is everything. I laugh loud, love deep, and always find the silver lining. I show up for kind-hearted, genuine people—seeking out the magic in the quiet, unscripted moments: soft forehead kisses, toddler giggles, golden mountain light, and those “oh my gosh, that’s so us” kind of moments. The way your people love you without words… that’s what I am here for.

Why I do this for you…
Like many stories, mine is rooted in both
joy and loss.
Throughout my life, I’ve experienced a lot of loss—and with it, the kind of regret that lingers. Life can shift in a heartbeat. The truth is, I didn’t always have photos of the people and moments I loved most. The adventures, the giggles, the “you had to be there” memories... they slipped by undocumented.
So when I picked up a camera in 2013, I photographed everything—big moments, quiet ones, and the in-between. Eventually, friends and family asked me to capture their stories too. Sitting in the front row for people’s most meaningful moments has always felt like the deepest honor.
Over time, life continued to shape me: laughter with my mom, the gentle love of my grandmother, wild adventures in the Sawtooths with my husband and our doodle, Enzo. Then came our son Henry, and with him—motherhood, and a deeper understanding of how life’s biggest milestones are stitched together by tiny, sacred pauses.
That’s why I do this for you.
To slow down. To pay attention. To celebrate the real, the messy, the magical—and give you the kind of memories I wish I had more of. You're not just hiring someone with a camera. You're choosing someone who will belly laugh with you, adventure with you, and help you see the beauty in the right now—
before it changes again.
Because I’ve lived the magic & the mess— I’ve come to believe, by Gods grace,
that my life is worth remembering.
Let’s document yours too.
Let’s leave something honest, beautiful, and lasting for the people you love.
A legacy of what it felt like to live this life…because your life is worth remembering.
