Welcome,
"Art is standing with one hand extended into the universe and one hand extended into the world, and letting ourselves be a conduit for passing energy." ~Albert Einstein
This quote from Albert Einstein encompasses what it is like for me as a photographer and artist. This quote connects me to a greater purpose beyond putting paint on my canvas or clicking my shutter. I feel a personal calling as an artist to invite you into this place of beauty and creativity.
When I photograph I connect people to each other, to their story, to their passions, and to the viewer.
In 25 years of photographing, I have had front row access to the best moments of life. Birth, families, proposals, weddings, portraits, concerts, events, and travel.
I am now booking 2023-2024. I look forward to creating with you! Contact me today!

Testimonials
“Kim Zahnow is hands down my favorite photographer. She has photographed my family pictures, maternity pictures and senior pictures for 2 of my 9 kids (#3 is next year!).
No other photographer has ever made me feel more relaxed and natural while taking pictures and I am never disappointed with the results. I recommend her every time someone I know says they are looking for a photographer.”
