"Kim has taken our photos several times over the years. So, she was the first person I thought of when I wanted updated pictures with our growing kids and new pup. Kim was nothing short of amazing. So patient with us; especially the kids who weren’t always cooperative. Not to mention the end result - incredible! She was able to capture our family perfectly! Well, actually, she made us look better than we do in real life! Can’t recommend her enough!"

"I could not have been more happy with the family photos that Kim captured for us. Not only is she not afraid to trudge through tall grass or deal with animals, she also didn’t blink an eye at any of my photo requests. We were blown away by the results! She turned my dream pictures into reality by capturing our lifestyle spot on."

"Kim takes the highest quality photos at the best prices. She treats your family like one of your own and loves your babies as if they were part of her family. She is great with getting kids to cooperate and smile and capturing your photos with the best natural back drops. Her customer service and photography skills are top of the line. My house is lined with beautiful memories that she has captured ❤️"

"We hired Kim to take our engagement/wedding photos and all we can say is she is just as incredible as her photos! We showed Kim some poses we had in mind and she added her own touch and made the pictures better than we expected!! She has a great personality and knows how to keep your sessions relaxed while capturing amazing high quality photos! We will continue to use her in the future!"

"I have had the privilege of knowing Kim Barnhart for most of my life. I have been able to watch her grow as a person and with photography. She is not only extremely talented, but she is kind hearted and passionate about photography. It was an easy decision to have Kim photograph our engagement and our wedding. My husband and I are able to look back on Kim’s beautiful work on some of our best memories we have shared together."
