Austin, TX Photographer

Hello! My name is Kim and I photograph newborn babies, growing families, and senior graduates in Austin, Texas. My photography style is very natural and relaxed. Sometimes getting your photo taken can be stressful. I try to make the session lighthearted and give you direction along the way to make even the most awkward people become picture perfect.

A few personal anecdotes you might like to know about me…

  • I love a good ghost story and all things paranormal.

  • Vegan cupcakes are my weakness.

  • John Mayer is my hall pass.

I picked up a camera over 10 years ago, but it wasn’t until my daughter was born in 2015, did I fall in love with newborn and family photography. The best part about my profession is encouraging and supporting all moms and dads in their journey of parenthood. My ultimate goal is to document the love and connection within your family by preserving those precious moments in time you never want to forget.

Thank you for being here, for looking at my work, and for trusting me to capture your most precious moments.

What is Yellowbird?

Yellowbird is a nickname my husband gave me when we first started dating. It’s from a lyric in a song called Poison Oak.

“I never thought this life was possible. You’re the yellowbird that I’ve been waiting for.”

- Bright Eyes

It was the sweetest thing anyone had ever called me. So it stuck. I married the best father and podcaster of all time. Together we have one sweet daughter and a crazy old mini-schnauzer that rules our roost, but we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Diversity & Inclusion

At Yellowbird Photography, we believe in equality for all. We support and advocate the concept of equal opportunity and inclusion regardless of your race, color, age, sex, religion, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.

The Experience

One

BEFORE the session.

We will communicate by email to get to know each other and go over your photography needs. If I am available and you want to move forward, we will book the session and begin the planning process. I will guide you along every step of the way and send you reminders about the important stuff.

Two

DURING the session.

Unless you’re a professional model, you probably aren’t the most experienced when it comes to getting your picture taken. That’s where I come in. I have the experience needed to invoke those genuine smiles that turn an okay photo into something stunning. All you have to do is show up! During the session I will gently guide you and tell you what looks best.

Three

AFTER the session.

I typically send a sneak peek within 48 hours of the session and the final gallery a few weeks later. Each final image is carefully edited by a professional and delivered to you in a high resolution JPG format, free of any watermarks so you can share them with the ones you love.
