Get to Know Me

Hello and thanks for stopping by!

I’m Kim, a photographer based in beautiful Banff, Alberta. Originally from Quebec, I bring a blend of mountain spirit and French-Canadian warmth to every session I capture.

I studied Fine Arts and Photography, and began my career in Montreal, where I spent several years building my craft across different areas of photography. From photographing Montreal Fashion Week to assisting commercial photographers, those experiences shaped my eye, my style, and my approach to storytelling through images.

Today, I photograph weddings, elopements, couples, engagements, and families. My goal is always to create images that feel honest, timeless, and true to your story. During every session, I focus on helping you feel relaxed, comfortable, and fully present because the best photos happen when you’re simply enjoying the moment.

I work with people of all cultures, backgrounds, identities, and orientations, and I’m always honoured to document each story in a way that feels respectful, natural, and authentic to who you are.

Having spent so much time in Banff and the Rockies, I know the area incredibly well and love sharing some of my favourite locations with my clients. From quiet lakesides to beautiful mountain views, I’ll help guide you to backdrops that feel natural and meaningful to you.

When I’m not photographing people, you’ll usually find me travelling, camping, hiking, painting or dancing “often at the back of a festival crowd” fully in my element.

With a professional yet easygoing approach, I aim to create a space where you can be yourselves while I capture the laughter, connection, and in-between moments that make your story yours.
