Mississippi newborn & family photographer

Timeless portraits for motherhood, family, and the seasons that matter most

These years move quickly — even when the days feel long.
What we remember most isn’t the chaos or the schedules, but the way it felt to hold them close.

I create portraits that honor this season and preserve it beautifully — not just for today, but for the generations who will come after you.

A Different Kind of Photography Experience

For more than 22 years, I’ve worked with families who want more than a quick session or a digital gallery they’ll forget to print.

They come because they want to feel cared for.
They stay because they want to walk away finished.

From the very beginning, I guide you through every step — from planning and wardrobe to designing albums and artwork for your home — so nothing is left undone or undecided.

This isn’t about more images.
It’s about doing this season right.

 

Meet Kim

Mom to three. Honey to three. Photographer for over two decades.

Hey there, I’m Kim!

I’m a newborn and family photographer with over 22 years of experience, a momma to three, and a proud Honey to three. At the heart of what I do is comfort—creating a calm, guided experience that allows families to slow down and simply be together.

I believe photographs are meant to be held, seen, and passed down. The images we create together aren’t just for today, but for your children and your children’s children.

If you’re looking for a thoughtful, full-service photography experience rooted in care and connection, I’d love to welcome you in!

 

Thoughtfully Guided. Beautifully Finished.

You don’t need to know what to hang on your walls or how to turn images into something meaningful.

That’s my role.

Every session is photographed with printed artwork in mind — so your images don’t live on a screen, but become part of your family’s story.

Together, we’ll design:

  • A handcrafted album that tells the full story of your session

  • Framed artwork created specifically for your home

  • A finished collection you’ll enjoy every single day

It isn’t until families see everything come together that they realize how much this season needed to be preserved.

With over 22 years behind the camera, families across Mississippi trust me to preserve their most meaningful seasons with care and intention.

How We’ll Preserve Your Family’s Story

Photographs That Become Part of Your Family’s Story

 
 

Albums That Become Family Heirlooms

Albums are how these images are meant to live — in your hands, on your coffee table, pulled out year after year.

Most families choose a custom album to preserve the complete story of their session — from quiet moments to joyful connection — in a way that can’t be replicated digitally.

These albums aren’t trendy or disposable.
They’re designed to last, becoming part of your family’s history.

Framed Artwork for Everyday Living

Your portraits deserve to be seen — not stored away.

Framed artwork allows your images to become part of your daily life, reminding you of what matters most in the middle of busy days and growing years.

Each piece is thoughtfully designed with scale, placement, and longevity in mind, so your home reflects your story beautifully and intentionally.

Investment

An investment in memories that last.

Most families invest 2500–4500 in custom albums and framed artwork, thoughtfully designed to preserve their family’s story.

Your session fee is paid separately and reserves your date, planning support, and time in the studio. Artwork and images are selected during your design appointment, once you’ve seen your photographs and we’ve planned how they’ll live in your home.

Many families choose to invest at this level because they want to walk away feeling completely finished — with nothing left to decide.

For families who know they only want digital images, a limited weekday simplicity option is available.

Seriously, all I had to do was show up.

More Than a Session

This experience is for Mommas who:

  • Value tangible memories over trends

  • Want guidance, not guesswork

  • Believe preserving their family’s story matters

  • Want to be present — not overwhelmed

If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place.
