Kimberly Mitchell Photography

Rave reviews on my Christmas cards! I had Kimberly do my family Christmas cards (along with the already reviewed canvas) and I can’t believe how many compliments I got! She’s worth every penny.

Disclaimer: Kimberly Mitchell is my sister-​in-​law.
Kimberly Mitchell Photography is not for the bargin shopper, but if you’re serious about getting GOOD pictures, you have to go with a pro, and Kim is a pro. I guarantee you’ll get pictures that you’ll love.
We did a couples session with Kim and for only the second time in my life, I actually had fun taking pictures. (First time was my wedding.) The truth is, I didn’t even realize we were getting our pictures taken. We were just goofing around being ourselves and Kim would shout out things for us to do and we would do it. (I realize now that’s what she meant by «life style» photographer. No posed pics, just you in your element!) Her pictures are simply amazing. They aren’t just snapshots in time, Kim’s pictures convey movement and emotion. They tell our unique story. Not only does she have a keen eye for framing pics and capturing the perfect expression, she’s an amazing photo editor. The colours in her pics just pop!
I could go on and on, but frankly, you just need to take a look at her portfolio, schedule a time to meet with her and then you’ll see what I mean.

A photo session with Kimberly is an awful lot like Christmas to me. You’ve got the pre-​shopping fun (figuring out the perfect outfits for the kids — not too matchy-​matchy but with a link of colors here or there), the day Christmas vacation actually arrives (the shoot itself when you all feel and look beautiful and relaxed and Kim manages to pull the cutest expressions out of your mostly fabulous kids), the one-​gift-​to-​open Christmas Eve tradition (your sneak peek on the blog that just makes you want to jump inside her computer to see all the rest), and Christmas morning (finally seeing all the amazing shots of your family and wondering how in the world you will ever choose which to hang on the walls — maybe we need a bigger house?).
Kimberly has been our family photographer for four years and even though we live in San Diego now, we work a trip to SF into our plans yearly for updated photos. She has captured everything from the kids playing in our yard, to beach shots of the whole family and even photos of our crazy dog. Most importantly she was there within an hour of our baby girl’s birth (3am) to document those incredible first moments and then came back five hours later to capture the the big brothers’ first meeting with our new girl. Kim’s photos of us have captured and documented our life together as a family. They are priceless.
