Maternity portrait sessions that resemble high-fashion magazine editorials.
Maternity & Newborn Portraiture | Shelby, NC & The Carolinas — available for travel.
Two Sessions.
One Standard.
Every client gets my full attention, my full artistry, and images built to become heirlooms. How we get there depends on the story you want told.
The Editorial Experience
Full studio, brought to you. Hair and makeup. Styling consultation. Fine art sets built around your vision.
This is the high-fashion maternity and newborn work I'm known for — the kind that stops people mid-scroll.
The Everyday Collection
Golden hour in a field. The lake at sunset. The mountains behind you. Simple, timeless, and unmistakably you — captured with the same eye, just out in the world instead of under studio lights.
Not sure which fits your story? That's what the consultation call is for.
 
 
I don't have a studio.
I have experiences. I come to you.
Based in Shelby, NC. Available for travel in the Carolinas.
A stunning Airbnb, a historic venue, your own home—and I transform it into a set that makes you feel like a cover story.
 
Your images deserve to live on your walls — not on a hard drive.
Metal. Canvas. Classic portrait frames. And my personal signature — circular frames that make guests stop mid-sentence and ask "where did you get that?"
You get to say: my photographer. She's the only one.
Every format, every size — we'll build something your walls have never seen before.
"It's not just high-fashion & everyday maternity — I offer the same for newborns too."
"The kind of images that stop the scroll — whether it's a mama-to-be or her newborn's first days — and make people ask, 'wait, who shot that?'"
 
Mother. Artist. Storyteller.
 
I'm Kim,
 
And I believe every mother deserves to be seen. Not just looked at—seen.
I've been where you are. Tired. Emotional. Overwhelmed with love. Desperate to hold onto every second because it's going too fast.
So no, I don't just take pictures. I create space for you to breathe. To feel beautiful. To be exactly who you are in this moment—without pretending to be someone you're not.
"Whether we're shooting in a stunning Airbnb, a historic venue, your own living room, or out in a sunlit field, I bring the same eye for detail to every session — Editorial or Everyday."
My logo? It's not just a pretty design. It's your story too.
The phoenix? That's for every time you've been knocked down and got back up anyway. I've been there. So have most of the women I photograph.
The moon and that halo glow? That's the reminder that even in our darkest hours, we can still shine bright and bold.
And the clock? That's the moments passing by—the ones that feel small now but will mean everything later. A reminder to hold onto what matters most.
So when you book me, you're not just getting pictures.
You're getting proof of your rising. Your glowing. Your becoming.
And someday, your family will hold those pictures and know exactly who you were in this season.
Ready to create something iconic?
Fine Art Editorial is where I come alive. Your story, my vision, one masterpiece. Getting to blend your vision with mine, to create something neither of us could have imagined alone—that's where the magic happens.
A true masterpiece, made just for you.
