I fell in love with photography in High School but never thought that I would have my very own photography company. I actually planned on going into film and making movies in Hollywood; however, once I realized that I wanted a family and Hollywood probably wouldn’t allow that I decided to do something that would allow the creative side of me come out and give me the freedom that I wanted.

 

In 2003 a lot of things happened, I graduated from college, started my photography company, MichelleAllen Photography, and was about to get married. When I first decided to start my company I had a huge dilema.. the name. I was about to get married and didn’t want to use my maiden name, but I had a little while before I was married and I didn’t want to use my new name; thus I came up with a bright idea to use my middle name and my future husbands middle name; The company MichelleAllen Photography was born.

 

After 4 years of business, the name has become a confusing part of my life and business. People are confused of  who Michelle Allen is, especially when I tell them my name is Kim, go figure!! Therefore in August of 2007 my husband and I decided that we needed to change the name to my name; thus, the new era of Kimberly Jarman Photography was created.

 

After 4 years of owning this business a lot has changed; we now have a brand new studio in downtown Mesa, where I get to meet clients and show them all that we can offer them through photography. We have branched out from just doing weddings and now do Senior Pictures, Lifestyle family and baby pictures. And we have grown in our love and knowledge of photography. It has been an amazing journey.

 

I love photography. I love that the people who hire me are people who want to document the most important milestones in their lives. I am honored that they choose me to do it. I love that I get to photograph a wedding and then a few years later photograph the birth of their baby and then the growth of their family. I want to give people memories that they can look back on years to come.

 

I am a lifestyle photographer; I capture life as it happens and I love to document those moments. I am a creative photographer; I capture love and beauty with style and fashion. I am a passionate photographer; I cry at the tender moments and laugh at the funny moments. I love what I do.

 

I would love to talk to you more about documenting these important moments for you.
