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.

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?
Knitting, for me, is an exercise in patience and humility. After restarting the first row of stitches about 5-6 times (LITERALLY!), I finally got the hang of it...or so I thought. I was on the second row and only had 6 stitches left of 72 for that row when those 6 stitches came off the needle. 😰 The loops started closing up, so it was hard to put them back on. I lost my place in my “knit, purl, knit, purl” chant to myself. Cue pregnancy hormones and sleep deprivation. Let’s just say I had a slight meltdown and sent my husband who was working downstairs a melodramatic text about how I hated knitting and didn’t know why I started this “stupid” project, especially when I just bought the baby a bunch of grey clothing that included, I’m almost certain, a bear hat. But, I’ve never been one to give up and can’t accept the notion that I can’t master something. So, by the time he came upstairs the second time I was back at it. Yes, I somehow picked up an extra stitch and had to figure out a creative way to get back on track, but now I feel like I’m on a roll. Now, it’s actually quite relaxing. LOL. So, here’s the beginning of the cute little bear beanie I’m knitting for the baby. (If it doesn’t fit, it’ll be a hat for my daughter’s doll.) It’s a bit janky in places, but it is being made with love.
