Moments over perfection—memories that reflect the real you

Your photos should be a true reflection of you, your partner, and your family. On your wedding day or during your photoshoot, my focus is on capturing your story exactly as it happens—authentic, raw, and real. While I can guide you into natural and comfortable poses, I’ll also encourage you to stay in the moment, fully experiencing the present, knowing that your photos will take you back anytime.

If that sounds like what you’re looking for, we might just be a perfect fit!

we got to spend so much time with our guests

"We had the joy of having Starscape Studios as our photographer for our beautiful wedding in Lake Tahoe! Working with Kimmi was so easy and fun! All of our photos are gorgeous. She led us through everything and we got to spend so much time with our guests since she quickly and efficiently got everyone in order to take our photos. :) Afterwards, our guests even commented on how much fun they had with her during the reception! She captured many memorable moments and we are so grateful we chose Kimmi. We HIGHLY recommend her!"

extensive knowledge of the Lake Tahoe area

Kimmi is AMAZING to say the least! She is cool, calm, collected, responsive, professional, talented, fun, and kind. She has extensive knowledge of the Lake Tahoe area and was awesome when we decided to bring along our dog to our engagement shoot. 10/10, two thumbs up, would highly recommend. Kimmi photographed our engagement, COVID elopement, wedding vow renewal, and maternity session. We are never disappointed with her work!

Planning & Timelines

Gallery Delivery & Albums

You will receive preview images within 3 days after your session. It typically takes 6-8 weeks to receive a full wedding gallery, or 3-4 weeks for a portrait session. Photographs are meant to be displayed, not sitting in a hard drive, so we will design your favorite images into framed art and albums to display in your home.

Once you have decided that my style fits your vision, send me a message. Share your wedding and portrait ideas and we will make a plan for how you want to remember your day. This will give us the opportunity to get to know each other better.

In the weeks prior to your photo session, we'll plan a detailed timeline and plan outfits and photoshoot locations around Lake Tahoe. This will ensure that we are on the same page and that your day becomes as stress-free as possible.
