• 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.

Kim & Justin Engagement Photo Shoot Sisters, OR | Bend, Oregon Wedding Photographer

A huge thank you to Kim and Justin for driving all the way from Olympia, Washington to have their engagement photos taken in Central Oregon. Kim is also inspired by all things artistic and envisioned a slightly rustic and unique back drop for their engagement photos. We look forward to capturing Kim and Justin’s destination wedding in Central Oregon at the gorgeous Brasada Ranch Resort. The historical dairy farm barn in Sisters, OR seemed perfect for their style.We were grateful that the owner of the private property of which the barn sits on, allowed us to utilize such a majestic backdrop to capture their engagement photos. Here are just a few of my personal favorite from the engagement photo shoot.

Caitlin & Dan Engagement Photo Shoot Mt. Bachelor Bend, OR | Central Oregon Wedding Photographer

We started off Caitlin and Dan’s engagement photo shoot at Dutchman Flats near Mt. Bachelor.We could not have gotten more lucky with the weather and clear views of the Three Sister’s MT. Wilderness area…. then we finished off the shoot at Dillon Falls. We really look forward to capturing Caitlin and Dan’s gorgeous winter wedding at Sunriver Resort’s Great Hall in Central Oregon this coming December.
You would think it was Fall. We shot these at Dillon Falls on the way home.

Kristin & Pat Couples Shoot Nelson, NV | Las Vegas Wedding Photographer

I was contacted by Kristen with Vamp Designs http://www.wix.com/vampdesigns/vampdesigns a little over a year ago regarding our wedding album design.  She is an incredibly talented artist, passionate about photography and an incredible graphic designer based out of Las Vegas, NV.  We couldn’t resist colaborating with her and for a year now she has been designing all of our wedding albums and we could NOT be more pleased with the work that she produces.

After the past year of working together we finally made it happen to meet up… I shot a couples photo shoot for her and her awesome boyfriend.  They took me out the this amazing location in Nelson, NV called Eldorado Canyon.  It’s a fabulous location for photographers, in fact it’s a pretty famous spot for celebrities. Many films, videos, and celebrity photo shoots have taken place at this location. It’s a photographers dream if you are into the desert, western,  vintage style… Lots of gorgeous cactus, raw landscape, old cars, buses, furniture, bikes, mining buildings, water towers, even an old plane crash site that Kevin Costner utilized for one of his movies.

I had a blast spending the afternoon with the two of them scoping out this cool place and capturing some fun shots for them!
Here are just a few of my personal favorites!

Landscapes by Christopher Barth Photography – California Coast | Bend Oregon Commercial Photographer

It’s been a while since I have posted any images from my lovely husband when it comes to landscape photography.  We recently took a road trip for spring break down the California coast.  And these are some of my favorite shots that Chris took. The Redwood forest is so majestic!  And I especially adore this the light house and sunset shot taken in Cresent City, CA. And lastly a recent rainbow that Chris captured very last minute off the roof of our house in Bend.

Tiffany & Lamont Engagement Photo Shoot Brasada Ranch Central Oregon | Central Oregon Wedding Photographer

Lamont proposed to Tiffany during a gorgeous sunrise in Central Oregon at Brasada Ranch a few months ago, it seemed perfect to capture their engagement photos at the same romantic, rustic location.  We look forward to capturing their wedding at the Oregon Golf Club in Portland, Oregon later this summer.
