I met Kimberley whilst collaborating with another photographer, where we decided to work with each other and I’m super glad that I met her!

Kimberley is an incredibly talented photographer and retoucher and her skills within Beauty photographer is amazing! I would recommend Kimberley to anybody as not only is she amazing, she has the loveliest and warmest personality. She made me feel incredibly welcome when meeting her and also kept me up to date on anything regarding the Photoshoot. Whilst the Photoshoot was happening she really kept me included and kept showing me the images whilst I was doing the makeup, I would happily work with Kimberley again as it was such a fun and relaxing Photoshoot and the images I have gained from her are out of this world!!

I just love Kim. She's the loveliest human being and an extremely talented photographer and retoucher.

Thank you for another fantastic shoot yesterday, I lost count of how many times we've worked together and I feel truly lucky because of it!

In short I am absolutely blown away by this ladies talent!

Kimberley’s work is in a league of its own. I was absolutely over the moon when she contacted me to shoot my favourite thing - beauty!

We had 4 hours together and it absolutely flew by. Kimberley has such a creative eye for styling, she is so imaginative and her ideas are completely original. As well as being super talented, she is also SO lovely! She is instantly welcoming and makes you feel so comfortable.

I had an absolute blast working with Kimberely and I completely adore our images together :-)

If you are lucky enough to work with Kimberely you should absolutely jump at the chance - more than recommended by me!

I absolutely LOVED this shoot and will be gassing over it for months to come I’m sure!

I have been following Kim’s work for quite some time and know it extremely well, I’m definitely a self proclaimed HUGE fan. So of course when I moved to Yorkshire I was absolutely elated at the opportunity to work with her!

I can’t recommend her enough, from her passionate energy, to her incredibly warm nature, to the ridiculous amount of (AMAZING) props in her home studio, I am in awe of this human being as a photographer, a creative and a wonderful person.

The photos we created are by far some of my all time favourites ever, and I cannot wait for more and more shoots with this incredible person!

A true delight. Bloody shoot with her now, you won’t be disappointed!

Recently had the pleasure of shooting with Kimberley. Had the best time. Really fun and relaxed yet professional. I find that to be the perfect combination when shooting and really hope I get the opportunity to work with Kimberley again in the future!

Crossroads Studio

Kimberley was one of the photographers who attended an event at Crossroads Studio that was designed by Marie Jean Saxton.

The day was a latex fashion day modelled by KittyKat8311.

Kimberley is a lovely person. Very easy to get along with and to talk to. This was the first time I had met her but it seemed like I had known her for ages.

She was very relaxed throughout her shoot and is a very talented photographer as can be seen by her portfolio.

Kimberley worked really well with Kat and as usual produced amazing images.

For any model considering working with Kimberley, don’t think twice. Just do it!

Kimberley was one of the photographers shooting me at Marie Jeans Studio day at CrossRoads Studio and was an absolute delight to work with. So friendly and bubbly, was a little sad we didn't get to spend more time working together! We will have to correct this in future ;)

I first met Kimberley at MShoot Photography Studio during a group shoot. Kimberley was very easygoing and made me feel very comfortable. She isn’t afraid to explain what she wants to capture. Great direction and very encouraging. I would highly recommend anyone interested in working with her. As you can see from above she has an amazing talent.

Zavod Studio UK

What an absolute pleasure having Kim work as a stylist on one of our events! This was the first time we tried anything like this and she was just incredible.

Kim was building sets, styling outfits, helping with lighting and just being a lovely friendly self throughout the entire day. We couldn't have asked for a better collab here.

Would absolutely love to have Kim work on another event for us soon.

100% recommend! Thank you ever so much!

Jumped at the chance to attend a studio day with Kim as I've been a fan of her work for a while.

She's absolutely fantastic to work with. Enthusiastic, helpful, friendly, and turned up with enough props, sets, and outfits to fill a transit van!

Her set design and styling are amazing, and she was just as excited about the shots I got as I was.

100% recommended, and I hope we get the chance to work together again.

BR1AN THAT GUY WITH THE CAMERA

Great person great photographer and the styling ability is just out of this world. Kim was a great help on the shoot day organised and the amount of accessories i had to choose from was purely overwhelming... She does the job and she does it soo well. A true professional here. Loved working with her and the model she was styling ... my experience couldn't be any better.

I had an absolutely incredible shoot with Kim!

Pre shoot comms were good, from the start it was clear we were very much so on the same wavelength.

Since we booked the shoot a couple of months in advance, Kim was sure to drop in every now and again to check that the planned dates/times were still okay.

The shoot itself was wonderful, the kind of shoot that I enjoy the most. Their studio room is brilliant, full of incredible set decorations, gorgeous dresses in lots of different styles, and a whole bunch of accessories!

Kim worked quickly with me, the flow of the shoot never breaking. We had brilliant conversations, which always makes things SO much more enjoyable.

I can't wait to work with Kim again!

Kim is absolutely and totally talented. You can literally see if from every picture she uploads - she is able to shoot any style, edit them to perfection and every single one of her photos have her signature look to them.

I was super excited when Kim mentioned she is booking me on again! I mean our first shoot produced so many bangers, I didn't think that I can do any better on our second one. But she provided lots of ideas, detailed moodboard and bought the dressed and accessories specifically for this. What a gem!!!

This shoot went far beyond just beauty shoot, as Kim has built the sets and we did a range of looks from the romantic renaissance to dark and gothic.

I am in love with what I've seen on the back of the camera AND I can see Kim has already edited a couple of shots - I LOVE THEM!

Just thank you for such a lovely time and for having me over at yours again. So honoured to be your model! Thanks to Jonny for being a brilliant assistant :)

If you're lucky to shoot with her I TOTALLY RECOMMEND!

Until next time,

Had my first shoot with Kim in her home studio and it was amazing! I had so much fun shooting with her and working on the different concepts! I am so looking forward to seeing the final images! I would highly recommend others working with her and would love to work with her again in the futu!

Lois J Elise

I have wanted to shoot with Kim for the longest time, and my dream finally came true! Kim is so lovely to communicate with, before, during and after the shoot and has so many fantastic concepts. Her images as expected are simply exquisite. I absolutely loved shooting with her and can't wait to shoot with her again!

Xeniamodel

I shot with Kim for the first time today and I'm so incredibly thankful for this opportunity :)

I admire her work so much! Absolute pleasure to be in front of her lens. Kimberley is very lovely, well-experienced and super creative. I feel like our styles combined so well, everything we shot was enjoyable and beneficial for us both, I could not have asked for a better beauty photographer really.

I think her partner doesn't get enough credit on here either, but he was assisting us when we needed his help and also provided lifts from and to train station. Absolute gem.

Thank you so much for having me today, I've not only had a great time but also going away with a buzzing feeling inside my chest - it has truly been an amazing day and I hope you are as pleased with the outcome as I am!

Hopefully will see you soon.

KIMBERLEY IS INCREDIBLE!

What an amazing day shoot! I’m unbelievably happy with the images received so far, Kim absolutely nailed it. We had a lovely, relaxed shoot and still managed to get 5-6 sets done for two models and WOW. Not only did we do some amazing work, we also get on so well. I felt 100% comfortable at all times and was able to say when I needed a break, when I was ready to start shooting again with absolutely no pressure. I would recommend anyone to work with Kim because she can make any style, mood or vibe work in her favour.

Had another mini shoot with Kim! This time we both met up during a creative event at a local studio to me, The Boardroom.

We had spoken previously about roughly what we wanted to create! Although the event itself was very busy Kim kept calm and kept to her ideas for the look she wanted!...

Kim is just lovely, she's also very giving and was happy for people to use her stunning wardrobe she brought along!...

I even picked up my own new stunning dress from her!...

Highly recommend Kim as always! Lovely lady with genuinely creative talent!... We got some beautiful shots even in the bustle of the event!

Thanks again Kim and see you soon!

Kim is SUCH a lovely lady. I had the opportunity to work with her at a Lensmaidens meet at The Boardroom in Derby.

Kim is clearly incredibly passionate about her art, and has the most wondrous wardrobe filled with dresses and crowns that she very kindly allowed us to use.

She has a vivid imagination, and was able to clearly describe exactly what she was looking for when we shot. Her direction was great, and her ideas were awesome, but she also allowed for my own flow, which I really appreciated.

The images that I have seen are really great - a quirky editorial feel, that's also relaxed and soft. I love them!

It was great to watch Kim work and communicate with the other ladies present too, she's a very kind lady who is bursting with excitement and creative ideas.

I really hope I get the opportunity to work with this wonderful happy lady again! Recommended from me - Thank you, Kim!

I adore Kim. She has an amazing vision for the type of art she wants to create and plenty of options for styling to help make this happen. While shooting with her, she was articulate and helpful with her direction and suggestions for poses. I feel so lucky to have met a photographer with her level of skill, creativity, and friendliness. Would love to work with her again -- I highly recommend Kim!
