Find out if Kim is the best family photographer for your family:

Is Kim a full-time professional photographer, or does she just do this as a hobby or side hustle?

Although I started out my career as a graphic designer and art director, I’ve been devoted to family photography full-time since 2009. I’m a member of the Professional Photographers of America, the National Association of Professional Child Photographers and other trade organizations.


Will I get Kim to photograph my family or will I get her employee/friend/student?

I will personally photograph every session, most times with the help of an assistant to lug my stuff, chase your kids around, and wipe their noses.


Where is she located? Do we have to travel far to get this done?

My residential studio is located in Newtown, CT, but I travel to homes and cool locations all around southeastern Connecticut and Westchester County to photograph families just like yours.


What if my kids won’t cooperate? They’re high-energy and never stand still!

I know. Kids are NUTS! And, I love it! First of all, check out my outtakes page. Rest assured that I’m a professional family photographer, and I’m not flustered by much. I’ve survived two of my own little darlings, and between my assistant/husband and I, we’ll find something that will work. During sessions I get zany, dirty, sweaty and we laugh. A lot.


What if I only want the digital negatives?

Sure, I get it. Everyone wants the digital images. That’s why my Collections always include the digitals. But, it’s truly important to have tangible prints of your images (you never know what might happen…), so I also include archival quality small prints or an album. If you’d like to order large prints and gallery wraps to decorate your home, or fabulous custom-designed albums, we can do that, too. Take a look at the printed products I offer.


I’m busy! What if I don’t have time to make ordering decisions?

The only decision you need to make is which Collection best suits your family. Most Collections include all of the high resolution digital images that are shown in your gallery. You have a choice of a longer session that comes with a gorgeous custom made album, or a shorter session that includes 4×6 archival prints of each digital image. Or, you can get a digital only session.
Either way, all of the digital images are yours. No deciding.


Do I have to commit to a high-pressure ordering consultation? 

Nope, your gallery is online and you can download from there.
If you’d like to take it a step further and purchase additional large prints, gallery wraps or albums, just give me a ring. We can discuss what you need over the phone, or I’ll stop by with samples and even measure your walls.


Do you offer a guarantee?

All of my work is unconditionally guaranteed. I have spent years finding vendors with the highest professional standards. If you are dissatisfied in any way, I’ll work with you until you are absolutely in love with every image and product.

My business has been built on word-of-mouth referrals and I take pride in providing exceptional products along with a comfortable and fun customer experience.


What if I only want a couple of small prints or digital negatives?

If you want small gift prints or a few digital negatives for holiday cards, I recommend that you take advantage my twice yearly mini sessions.
These are shorter sessions that are held on scheduled dates and predetermined locations. They include a few lovely but less highly-processed digital images at a discounted rate.
