Kim has been traveling independently to far-flung regions since 1995, spending up to a month at a time to explore places off-the-beaten-path. Much time is spent researching and planning each itinerary to seek out unique places and experiences. She travels a few times a year & loves hiking adventures, cultural interactions, ruins and stunning landscapes. Favorite destinations so far include Namibia, Jordan, New Zealand, Machu Picchu, Alaska, Arizona, China, Sri Lanka, Italy & Bhutan.
Her photographs have appeared in numerous print and online travel publications including National Geographic Traveler, Wanderlust magazine, Outpost, Travel Abroad, books, textbooks, travel brochures and commercial advertisements, and have placed in contests including National Geographic and TPOTY (international Travel Photographer of the Year) where she placed 1st runner up in the emerging talent category in 2010. She is represented by picture stock agencies in London and New York and has exclusive contracts with Getty Images & istock (RF images).
She is available for hire to work with tourism boards, brands or specific tour companies to provide visual imagery. Contact her to discuss opportunities.
Kim and David led small groups on photography tours through their company, Unique Photo Tours, for six years. This blog was created when their tour business was still operating in 2009. Although exposure is no longer needed to generate interest for their tours, Kim continues the blog to inspire others to travel by sharing stories, destination and photo tips about places on this fascinating planet. This blog was listed among the Top Travel Photography Blogs by Feedspot in July 2017.
When not traveling, planning, or processing images, Kim continues to work as a speech-language pathologist with brain injured and stroke patients. In fact, working with patients her own age whose lives were forever altered by a brain injury (car/other accidents) is what prompted her to travel in the first place. Better start NOW, not later. She began spending a month each year at a different destination. Her first trip? Peru, Galapagos & Ecuador on a very frugal budget.
David has been shooting since he was a wee lad experimenting with macro shots of bugs and freezing the fast action of falling objects and water. He has worked as a professional photographer for many years. His preference in photography involves complicated lighting set ups (we’re talking a minimum of ten lights) on-location or in a studio to create compelling character portraits. He is an experienced editorial, corporate and commercial photographer, and his work has appeared on billboards, print advertisements and business websites.
He operated Bravo! Photography Studio until closing that business to pursue marketing and sales in 2014. His stellar images of talented dancers and models grace walls in private homes and online galleries, and his travel images or how-to articles can be seen on earlier pages of this blog. Nowadays he prefers to stay at home, but can occasionally be convinced to travel with the family on short trips. His love of technology, using the latest photo gear and creating unusual portraits keep him shooting on the side.
