I’m Kim, a Lifestyle & Birth Photographer and Doula, with a heart for storytelling and a passion for honoring the beauty of everyday moments. Originally from Maryland, I now call the charming town of Wilmington, NC, home, where I embrace a quiet, simple life with my family. I’m a wife, mom, gardener, and a seeker of a peaceful mind—values that deeply shape my work.
Through my experiences, I’ve found a profound love for documenting life as it truly is—messy, raw, imperfect, and breathtakingly beautiful. Life isn’t about perfection; it’s about the fleeting moments that deserve to be remembered. The tiny hands grasping yours, the bruised knees and dirt-streaked feet, the missing front tooth and the crooked smile. These are the details that make up childhood, and I want to help you hold onto them forever.
But more than that, I want you to be remembered too—the parent, the nurturer, the safe haven, the keeper of all things. You deserve to be seen in the story of your family’s journey.
As a Birth & Labor Doula and Birth Photographer, I am dedicated to supporting families through one of life’s most transformative experiences. With a heart for empowering birthing individuals and a lens for capturing raw, authentic moments, I blend emotional support with storytelling to create a truly holistic experience.
As a Doula, I provide unwavering guidance, comfort, and advocacy, ensuring you feel informed, heard, and confident throughout your journey. As a Birth and Lifestyle Photographer, I document the beauty of these intimate moments—whether it’s the first breath of your newborn, the strength of your labor, or the warmth of your family in everyday life.
My mission is to help you feel seen, supported, and celebrated every step of the way. Whether you’re preparing for birth or looking to preserve your most cherished memories, I’m here to walk beside you.
Let’s create something beautiful together.
