Introduction

Hi, I'm Kimia, a photographer based in Bay Area. I've always had a passion for capturing the world around me, and I'm so grateful to have turned that passion into a career. I specialize in Wedding/Portrait/Family/Engagement/ Maternity photography, and I love using my creativity and technical skills to tell stories through my photographs. Photography is my lifetime passion. I love capturing people's most special moments. Having an art background and learning that academically helped me to bring a new vision into my work, besides that I always enjoy coming up with new ideas to make my works different. I approach each shoot with a focus on capturing real, candid moments that show the emotions and personalities of my subjects. I believe that the best images are the ones that evoke a feeling or tell a story, and I strive to create that kind of magic in every picture I take. If you're looking for a photographer who will help you capture the beauty and emotion of your special moments. Thanks for stopping by, Let’s get in touch, I'd love to hear from you!

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

I try to make my pricing as accommodating as possible, getting hired through Thumbtack, my client is getting best deal. My price is based on time of the service, there is a minimum one hour session fee and you can extend the time for additional hourly rate.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

when new client reach out to me, I usually ask about their vision and the ideas. if they need consultation I will set up a time to go over detail either through phone or zoom, this way they will have a chance to know me and I will know about them before meeting them in person of the date of the event.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

Photography is my always passion as long as I can remember, I took my first very photography class in high school working with film and developing film in the dark room! I got my MFA in photography from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville and took multiple wedding photography workshop before officially start my career as an event photographer. I believe learning must be part of my everyday life, I don't stop searching for what new tool and changes are happening in the market!

How did you get started doing this type of work?

Since I can remember, I’ve always loved photography. My very first time I got in photography class and had my SLR camera I was in high school, from there I always had my camera with me and this developed the passion of photography.

What types of customers have you worked with?

I have worked with people from different walks of life; from established professionals to teenagers and babies! couples, families, events, bridal showers, newborns, graduations, weddings, corporate events and more!

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

I love every single project in my career, some of them are more of a challenge than the others though.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Build trust with the person you choose to photograph your event/project. this is very important to set expectation before the session otherwise you will not be happy with the result. Take time to choose the photographer you liked their style and trust them afterwards.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

Any question is a good question, feel free to ask me any concern you have in advance, anything I should be aware of. For events, I do suggest to have a timeline so we can go over.
