About-Page-Photo-01_WEB.jpg

Kimberly Murray is an Atlanta-based photographer and product stylist specializing in interiors, products, and food.  She has a love for bright, colorful images; clean lines; and pretty packaging. 

But, for all her love for the perfect visual presentation of things, she took a different educational path on her journey to becoming a photographer.  That path led her to a doctorate in psychology.  Although it might seem unrelated, Kimberly applies her knowledge of psychological principles of perception to create compelling images that capture the mood and personality of her clients’ brands.  Her work has been featured nationally online as well as in print publications.

In Kimberly’s free time, she enjoys exploring the city for the best brunch, burger, or donut spots with her husband and toddler daughter.

One of my favorite collaborations this year has been with @bravery_mag. Not only are the two women at the helm pure creative geniuses (and kind-hearted, to boot!) to dream up such a magazine, but the projects I get to work on are so much fun. Also, those projects often allow me to bring in an additional collaborator...my daughter. She has become quite the little hand model, even though she has been known to “enhance” mommy’s styling. (Let’s just say that I had what I felt were the perfect number of marshmallows in the drink before someone decided to add more.) My little one has gotten so used to being my helper that now when I ask to take her picture and she sees a flat lay styled on the floor, she looks up innocently at me and says, “I touch it?” No, baby. Mommy just needs you to stand there and look cute. (Image is one of my outtakes for Issue No. 5. Check out my feed a couple of posts back to see which strong women are featured in the latest issue.) #kmpstyled #babykmurray
As I get closer and closer to welcoming a new little being into our family, I’ve been thinking more and more about documenting our family and considering how I want to appear in those images. Growing up, I loved going through my parents’ old photo albums that were filled with ordinary, everyday moments of them and us in the house. My mom looked beautiful and fashionable without professional makeup application and a special outfit selected for a particular shoot (aside from wedding pics or military ball pics, of course). I want to get to that point some day. But, for now, I loved getting dolled up for this shoot and capturing the final stage of my pregnancy. I called myself getting a bit closer to going au natural by doing my own hair. 😆 Photo: @meccagamble Makeup: @whippedbykiara
Super excited to receive the double issue of @bravery_mag featuring Bessie Coleman and Amelia Earhart. Two beautiful covers. Two sets of stories, activities, and images centered around these strong and fearless women. And a double-side, pull-out print in the center featuring the magazine’s motto: Be Your Own Kind of Brave. Plus, I was commissioned to create a few images that appear in this issue. Head on over to @bravery_mag’s profile to learn more about the magazine and for a chance to win a set of the first 5 issues. #kmpstyled
A rainy day in Atlanta means I get to break out my new rain boots. I went back and forth between getting a “practical” color vs going for a “fun” color and chose the latter. They put a smile on my face and help to brighten up a rainy day. Do you prefer neutrals or color?
