Hey there, I’m Kimberly!
I know and experience daily the way they lean into your legs just to be close, the way their tail wags when you get near - or sometimes even just look in their direction - their sweet, soulful stares...these aren’t just little moments. They’re at the heart of your story together.
At Kimberly Kingen Photography, I know your dog isn’t “just a pet.”
They’re family, your constant, the soul that makes your house a home. If you ever find yourself saying “I’ll miss you and see you later” at the door or giving up your favorite spot on the couch or side of the bed so your pup can sprawl out (or feeling sad when they choose their bed instead of snuggling up next to you), you’re in good company.
With patience, creativity, and a no-pressure approach, I create portraits that feel natural and deeply connected - images that celebrate the joy, quirks, and soulful bond you share. My work is about more than pretty pictures and being super posed; it’s about honoring the love and magic your dog brings into your life, in all the ways they show up, so you can hold onto it forever...
but enough about me - let’s get to the good stuff.
The Difference
Not all photography businesses are created equal.
Here's what you can expect from Kimberly Kingen Photography:
Your dog has only one job: to be a dog! I'll take care of the rest. Years of experience and patience in working with a variety of personalities and behaviors - along with my own bag of tricks - means there is no need for anyone to be an obedience school superstar or even leash-free to have a successful session or to create the images you're dreaming of!
Our time together is all about creating art from the heart, with a primary focus on fine art albums, wall art, heirloom folio boxes, and other tangible artwork. Each product is meticulously sourced and promises the industry's best of the best in beauty and craftsmanship.
I'm with you every step of the way to deliver a truly boutique experience that culminates in a personalized experience you won't forget, natural and expressive images you'll love, and artwork to last generations.
The Experience
Step 1: Pre-Session Planning Call
Forget awkward intros! Grab a cup of coffee for you - and if your pup is like mine and wants attention at the most inopportune times - a lick mat for your BFF. We'll get to know each other and chat about everything from location options to session expectations and how you'd like to enjoy your images after your session, be it a wall of envy-inducing portraits or a slobber-proof album (yes these actually exist - and I can confidently say that our albums are also stunning)!
Step 2: The Session
It's your dog's moment, and spoiler alert: perfection is not the goal. Whether they strut up like a seasoned pro, rolls out of the car a mastermind of mischief (epic dirt rolls are always a possibility and welcomed), or comes in hot like a tornado of fur and questionable decisions, we're rolling with it! I’ll be there to document the split-second moments that will make "This is exactly who he/she is!” along with the love and adventures, big and small, that you share.
Step 3: The Ordering Appointment
This is the moment it all comes together, and the first time you'll see your portraits! (Cue the happy tears and uncontrollable smiling.) Together, we'll meet virtually to choose all your favorites, explore stunning product options, and design artwork that feels like it belongs in your home.
You'll also place your order at this time and bring your images to life in a way that feels intentional, beautiful, and totally you.
Step 4: Artwork Day
Just like that, the day you've been waiting (and maybe obsessively refreshing your inbox) for is here! Once your artwork arrives, I'll reach out to schedule your pickup. And the best part? Everything comes display-ready! No DIY disasters or confusing assembly instructions, just pure custom artwork that’s ready to be loved.
Brace yourself: an extreme case of can't-stop-staring-at-my-dog-in-print syndrome may occur.
What Clients Are Saying
-
“Kimberly took a very thoughtful and detailed approach in preparing for a photo session with me and my pet. This was especially meaningful to me given my pet isn't exactly easy going and I wasn't sure how the session would go. I truly appreciated the pre-session questionnaire and felt my responses were incorporated into our session in terms of how Kimberly engaged with me and my pet. The session was very natural (low stress!) with a lot of flexibility and recommendations, which I appreciated!”
