With 2nd Impressions, Body Positive photography, I want women to leave my photo sessions seeing themselves in a new and different light and loving themselves much more than when they arrived. I find my heart is full when I see the expression on a woman’s face and maybe even a tear in their eye when they see the photos I’ve captured of them. When they see themselves through my lens, they can see themselves as others do and see their strength and beauty!

We as women, are strong, beautiful and resilient creatures no matter our current size, our shape, colour, ethnicity or ability and I want every one of you to own and recognize that within yourself.

When was the last time you had a day that was all about you?
You deserve to feel like the magnificent being that you are. 

A 'Love the Body You're In' photo session is all about YOU.

Fun facts 

My goal as a photographer is to have every woman I take photos of, love themselves just a little bit more after seeing themselves in print! You absolutely deserve to love yourself as you are, not after you've started going to the gym, not after you've gone down a few dress sizes...NOW!

I think every woman should do this type of photo shoot at least once in their life! I was excited, determined and apprehensive, all at the same time! When I arrived Kim was so welcoming and made it so easy! Her closet has so many options and I truly enjoyed it! I probably could have kept playing “dress up” for another hour! I left feeling accomplished and really good about myself. The photos are gorgeous!! Thanks Kim!

Absolutely amazing experience!!! Try it... even if you are nervous!!! See a new side of you, even if it’s just for you! You deserve to see yourself sexy... even if it’s hard! I hope each of you do this session! 
I won a contest and had photos done and I am already planning my next session for a time Kim comes back Whitehorse. How I am now... how I’ll be then and I know I will feel way better about myself!! 
Thank you Kim for holding space for me, for us! You're amazing, your energy is fantastic, you're compassionate and just plain beautiful!

I walked into my session feeling so much anxiety. The thought of all my flaws being revealed to the camera was overwhelming. Most pictures I have of myself as an adult are ones I took of myself. I chose the angles, deleted any that were ugly...and definitely NONE of them showed my imperfect body. In photos others took of me I was never showing skin, I folded in on myself, trying to appear thinner, less than. Kim was so welcoming. Gentle. Kind. I went from trying to contort my body into pleasing shapes so no one would see the flaws to breathing. Relaxing. And even enjoying the experience! She was so open to my suggestions of poses and we used the whole beautiful space. It was a celebration of me. I left feeling so good about myself and it was because of Kim creating such a safe space for it to enfold. Then I saw the photos. Oh. My. God. I was hot a.f!!!!! Her prowess with a camera is off the charts!!!!! Treat yourself to this beauty. Not just for gorgeous photos but for the lasting effects of confidence that comes from it! 10/10

I loved my session, I was nervous at first, had no idea what to expect or what would be expected of me. But Kim made it so fun to just hang out in your underwear it was hard not to let go and enjoy yourself. My photos are proudly hanging in my bedroom!

I was so excited to get to do this session with Kim! As someone who has lived most of my life with a lot of insecurity/depression/anxiety, it felt like the perfect opportunity to continue to build more confidence and take those next steps towards truly being comfortable in my own skin.

I've been through a lot in my life up to this point. Having Survived years of domestic violence and chaos, I've been heavy on a journey of self love and rediscovery for the last 6 years. 
I was finally beginning to heal and be happy again while reclaiming my place in the world only to then suffer through a horrific injury where I fractured my pelvis and crushed all the tender little tendons and nerves in a mountain bike accident leaving me functionally disabled for a few years. 
To say my self esteem and overall body image has suffered through these events and others is an understatement.
Learning to love My body while suffering for years with chronic pain has been a huge challenge to say the least. 
I have worked incredibly hard to rehabilitate this old body, heart, mind and soul of mine to get to where I'm at now. I'd be a fool to look at how far I've come and not appreciate how incredible my body truly is. Even in all of its imperfect, kind of still broken glory. My body is part of me and it's high time I realized that and got us the same team for once. I've battled with myself for far too long. 
Doing this photoshoot with Kim was so much fun and I can honestly say it was 100% confidence boosting with where I'm currently at in my personal journey. 
Her enthusiasm is contagious and you can't help but feel beautiful when she snaps photo after photo while exclaiming "oh yeah, these look fantastic!"

My first reaction when Kim told me I was selected for a photo session was 'I need to shave my legs!' I was pretty nervous and excited at the same time and I brought a few of my own furs & jewels. The experience was pretty amazing as I don't reveal myself like this at all and having this opportunity to really step out of my comfort zone has given me the satisfaction of feeling good about myself and my body. I now know how models feel in front of a camera! Every scar seen and unseen is beautiful as it is my story of strength, resilience and loving myself just the way I am. Thank you Kim for making it so easy to be in front of the camera and an experience I will never forget. I would highly encourage others to try it and you won't regret it! It'll be something to look back on and feel accomplished. My husband enjoyed the photos and he was pretty proud of me for stepping out of my comfort zone! I'm looking forward to getting a keepsake book made by Kim a future father's day gift for the hubby! Thanks Kim for making it so easy.

I was very apprehensive about my photo shoot. I almost cancelled it twice. I am so glad I went through with it. Kimmakes you feel so comfortable and at ease that you don't even think about what you are doing and you are just having fun!
