My name is Kimberly and I am a East Bay Photographer. I like shooting what ever that catches my eye, down to Juniors, toddler's and babies. I also find myself photographing a lot of animals.
In the last 3 years I found myself gravitating towards portraits. Studios fascinated me, and I wanted to learn lighting and more. I was pulled up on Facebook from a pretty well known photographer that wanted me to shoot in her studio. I was honored and excited, but my confidence level was still very low. She taught me in two days everything i needed to know to get me started. So, here I am going to show you what I created on my first studio shoot. I am going to post a few pictures from my first shoot, I created it, and planned it all out. I wanted to do a Princess scene. So I ordered dresses and a prince costume. I created the scene wit a castle made to look like rock, and it's pretty big. It comes in 6 pieces. I used a large piece of mirror for water, moss for dirt, artificial flowers for plants. Pine cones, sticks, a few pine trees. My models range from age 3-7 years of age. The scene I designed the night before the shoot, it took me approximately 3 hrs to set up and 11 hrs to shoot the following day. I started at 9 am and completed at 8 pm that night. I was so tired after that. The following day is where the real work begun, and that was editing. when you view my images you'll see that the mirror I turned into water. I hand painted in Photoshop to give it the realistic feel to it... I hope you enjoy these images. CC welcome, just be nice please. I know that some people like to say things out of character. I post here because I'm still learning, I still have a lot to learn, so in my eyes I'm at the level of a semi professional photographer. I need other eyes to see what my eyes are missing. so I chose to post here to learn from all of you photographers.
I hope you learn from me, as much as I want to learn from you. Thank you......... CC welcome
