I'm a fun-loving photographer, dog mom, NYIP graduate, wife to my jocular husband, believer, and avid trail rider with my horses!
I fell in love with photography because I have to slow down and really look at people, take some time with them and then I get to appreciate their outer beauty. But it also makes me appreciate their inner beauty! Everyone in front of my camera is incredibly beautiful or handsome!!
About Me
I Believe
I believe in laughter because it is one of the happiest sounds I've ever heard and it can bring a smile to anyone's face!
I believe in finding that thing you are passionate about and dedicating time to it routinely because life is too short to not do things that bring us joy and peace!
I believe in saying what you mean and meaning what you say because it keeps us honest with others and honest with our feelings!
I believe in drinking sweet tea because I'm a good southern girl and it makes me happy!
I believe in kissing your spouse hello and goodbye always because nothing in life is guaranteed or promised!
I believe in never giving up or giving in because I believe perseverance and commitment will make a marriage last!
I believe fear means go because fear is what holds us back from pursuing our dreams and being who we were meant to be!
I believe in building fences not walls because boundaries with ourselves and others keeps us emotionally healthy, walls isolate us and keep us from deep & meaningful relationships!
I believe in creating images that will be cherished for a lifetime so that as we grow older we can look back at those images and they will tell the story of our lives!

"Thank you to everyone for your kind words on the photos from my photoshoot. I can honestly say I have never felt more beautiful in my own skin. Thank you again Kimberly Forbes for taking such beautiful photos. It was a pleasure working with you. "❤️""

Our beautiful pictures taken by the best, @kimberlyjadeforbes! We had so much fun making these memories with you on my papa's farm. Losing him four days ago was such a heartbreak, but seeing these pictures will forever remind me of him ❤️
I honestly would not think to use another photographer!! Kim gives 110% when she is photographing and goes above and beyond to capture the event to expectations...I honestly cannot say enough good things about her and her work!
