• Welcome to Kimberly Kay Photography {the blog}

    We're glad you stopped by!

    Chris and I are full time Wedding, Portrait and Commercial Photographers based out of Bend, Oregon.  We travel all over the West coast and beyond capturing unique love stories.  The best part of photography to us, is feeling the energy while approaching a shoot, absorbing the moment, and clicking the shutter with our whole heart! We enjoy the pursuit of challenges. The challenge to create and deliver photographs under a myriad of circumstances. The challenge of taking the ordinary and seeing the extraordinary.  

    Our blog is updated often to reflect our most current selection of images of all the amazing people, places and moments we have had the privilege of capturing.

    We hope to capture your story as well,  and look forward to hearing from you soon!

Central Oregon Landscapes – Christopher Barth Photography | Oregon Landscape Photographer

Thirst is a powerful force. Something inside of Chris is always thirsty. Since we only had one more weekend off before our busy wedding season kicks in full gear, he really wanted to gets some more images captured that sparks his inner spirit! While he has made similar images, he thinks the next one will always be better. So in the dead of night Chris slipped out from under the warm blankets. Dressed in his finest synthetics and drove up to West Village at Mount Bachelor. Spring operations meant there would be no uphill restrictions on Monday and Tuesday. He left the car at 6300′ and made a beeline to Pine Marten Lodge at 7775′. After an hour he found himself taking a break sitting next to Bill Healy’s statue. Chris felt like he owned the place. He felt pretty strong too, 1475′ vertical in an hour. This left plenty of time to scout a great viewpoint for sunrise. The waxing gibbous moon of this years perigee provided ample light. The wind scoured icy slopes of the mounts upper reaches provided a taste of adventure. Chris and I hope you enjoy the images just as much as he enjoyed creating it.Earlier in the week we took a drive out to Pine Mountain Observatory so that Chris could capture the gorgeous sunset and the waxing gibbous moon that was in perigee.Enjoy!

FEATURED COVER: Central Oregon Magazine | Central Oregon Wedding Photographer

Recently we were contacted by Creative Director of Central Oregon Magazine, Brian Page. Brian was preparing the Annual Wedding Photography Issue. In the process of researching images for this issue he stumbled upon one of our images from a stylized shoot we created. The editorial staff at the magazine thought the photograph depicted the quintessential high desert wedding. We were thrilled to discover that they chose one of our images for both the cover and the title page of the article. This publication offered us a great venue to display our work. We are very grateful for the recognition we received from the magazine. We also have a nice variety of commercial and wedding work throughout the magazine as well. Pick up your copy!
