KMS Photography
KMS Photography is a portrait & wedding photographer based out of Livermore, California (previously San Mateo). As an award winning photographer, I take much pride and care in each and every snap of my camera. All sessions are not treated equally. Whether you would like individual portraits, family pictures, or maternity and newborn photos, I will personally capture your story with the uniqueness it deserves. Your moments are precious and should be treasured for a lifetime.
​

Photographic Style
Documentary-style photography is a balance between formal photography (most photos posed) and photojournalism (nothing is posed) - documentary style involves "setting the scene" for good images without over-directing. This ensures that you are in good locations with good lighting and that you look your best, while still feeling completely natural.

The Professional
I have been a photographer for over 10 years now, but officially started my business while in college in April of 2011. Photography became my biggest passion when I began my traditional film & digital training at the College of San Mateo. I am constantly growing and learning new things and take much pride in the quality of my work. In 2013, I graduated cum laude from San Jose State University with a degree in Entrepreneurship. A proud member of Wedding and Portrait Photographers International (WPPI), I have become an award winning photographer in both Portrait and Wedding Photography Categories. Recently married, my husband and I have decided to continue in this venture together as he has found his own love of photography and has proven to be an excellent partner with his photographic skills. While this has become a part-time venture for me, I still work very hard to fulfill your photographic needs with my best and most creative work. Capturing your story and special life moments is what I love to do. I am always looking to meet and share moments with new people so please contact me for anything and everything!



The Personal
I love animals, sports, coffee, cheese and, of course, photography! I am outgoing, fun-loving, and meticulous. When I am not photographing your story, I am out creating my own. In 2015, I had my own wedding and married the love of my life and we decided to start our family right away and had a baby girl in 2016. As you can imagine, I absolutely LOVE taking pictures of her. My husband and I have become great partners in life and now my business, you may even see him at your photo shoot with me. What does all this mean for you? Each and every session we do will be a wonderful experience and thoughtfully creative. I will spend as much time as necessary learning about who you are and how we can incorporate your beautiful story into the art that I will create for you. Photographs are treasured memories and my goal is to artistically capture your life's special moments.
