”Kim quickly taps into who she is photographing, puts them at ease, and captures their spirit“

What People are Saying

Sheri & RubenOur Christmas pictures were spot on! I’ve never gotten so many compliments on my Christmas cards before! People were texting me when they got them saying how great they look. Kim works great with kids too, she got ALL 3 kids to smile and look at the same time, now that’s a talent in itself! She really has a gift for this.“

Dora & SteveKim is the best! Our photos were so good and she was wonderful with our infant daughter. we had an awesome experience. We highly recomend her!“

Kim is an absolutely amazing photographer! She did my engagement photos, and they turned out amazing. I was nervous to have these done since I’m camera shy, but Kim did such a good job on making me feel comfortable taking photos. She went above and beyond to make sure the photos came out great! I would highly recommend her to anyone!“

What's New on the 'Gram

Some kids are packing backpacks... others are packing memories.
.
Next week marks the beginning of another school year, but for seniors, it`s so much more than that. It`s the beginning of a year full of "lasts."
.
Before the chaos of college applications, senior nights, graduation parties, and saying goodbye to friends, take a moment to celebrate who they are right now.
.
This senior is an avid reader, so we started her session exactly where she`d choose to spend an afternoon—with a good book at a local bookstore. Then we explored downtown Wheaton, capturing a completely different side of her personality.
.
That`s what senior sessions should be. Not just beautiful photos...but a time capsule of who you were before life changed forever.

Wishing all of my students, teacher friends, and families an amazing school year next week.
.
Here`s to new beginnings...and unforgettable endings.

IT`S TIME!
.
School is almost back in session, which means cooler evenings, cozy sweaters, and those gorgeous fall leaves will be here before we know it.
.
Fall has always been one of my favorite seasons to photograph because everything seems to slow down just enough to soak in the little moments.
.
🍂 Fall Sessions are officially open to book!
.
If autumn is your favorite season too, I`d love to capture your story.

It`s July...and half of my holiday season is already booked. 🤯🎄
.
I honestly don`t know what to say except...thank you. ❤️
.
We are only ONE WEEK into my Christmas in July event, and 30 of the 60 holiday sessions have already been claimed!
.
Every single booking is someone choosing me to preserve their family`s memories, and that is something I`ll never take for granted.
.
Six years ago, I started Novella Photography with a dream of creating meaningful images for families. Today, seeing so many of you planning ahead in the middle of summer because holiday photos have become part of your family`s tradition...that`s pretty incredible.
.
If you`ve been thinking about booking, here`s your friendly reminder:
.
Half of this year`s holiday collection is already spoken for.
That means there are 30 sessions remaining across all eight holiday experiences.
.
Every year, my holiday calendar fills well before the season arrives, so if you`ve had your eye on a particular setup or date, now is the time.
.
From the bottom of my heart...
Thank you for trusting me with your memories, year after year.
