Why Do I Do It?
1- It's fufilling , preserving one of the most special and emotional days of your life
2- It's fun, Albert Einstein said "creativity is intelligence having fun!" Photography allows me to learn and challenge myslef to create better and better art every day.
3- They are more than just picture, I understand and have experienced the value of photos and videos in my own life.
My GG had dimensia and pictures were her only source of remembering who she was.
My husband is in the military and when he is gone for months at a time my kids would carry around his picture and watch his videos daily to cope with emotions beyond their understanding.
My father in law passed so the best way to show our children their papa is through photos. Many of those pictures were taken at weddings.
It's simple
I do this so when the tough times come, you have good times to lean on. Good memories to pull you out, to remind you that just like weddings life is full of highs and lows.
That's what makes them beautiful
My love affair with the great outdoors began long before I picked up a camera. My heart truly found its calling when I worked as a backcountry camp counselor, leading enthusiastic children through the stunning Sierra Nevada mountains for days of camping bliss. Those adventures awakened an addiction to the wild, and even after pursuing my education, all I could think about was getting back out there to hike and explore.
My photography journey kicked off a little differently—rather humorously, in fact! After my wedding, I quickly realized I was not cut out for the planning game, and the photos I received? Let’s just say they were more ‘nightmare’ than ‘fairytale.’ The poor photographer barely knew me, our styles clashed like oil and water, and the lighting was a complete disaster. After staring at that gallery, I thought, ‘I can do better than this!’
With determination and a trusty iPhone, I began my training. A pivotal moment was photographing my brother's engagement session with my phone. That’s when my husband, ever the cheerleader, gifted me my first professional camera, proudly declaring to everyone he meets just how talented his wife is (which, let's be honest, is always nice to hear!).
For the next three years, I honed my skills, ensuring I could shoot beautifully in any light and weather—because no one deserves to feel the way I did on my wedding day. Now, I've blended my passion for the outdoors with my photography, and nothing brings me more joy than capturing couples on their love-filled adventures.
Let’s create some stunning memories together in Glacier National Park, where I can promise you a stress-free experience and photos that truly reflect the essence of your day—because after all, your happiness is my favorite subject!

This was such an amazing experience, it honestly couldn’t have gone any better! Kimberly is the nicest person, she really knows what she is doing and knows how to make you feel comfortable in-front of the camera. She took us to the prettiest spots, she was giving us really good directions and she had just had a baby a few weeks prior! She is literally a superwoman! Her coworker was there as well so they got so many good shots, and they were so funny and nice! Very professional as she promised a preview on the Monday after the shoot and she delivered! The pictures are beautiful, the locations she brought us to were stunning, and afterwards we chatted for a bit as the sun went down and she had snacks for us!! I can’t stop saying great things about Kimberly and this experience, worth every penny and I would do it all over again if I could. 🤎

I cannot say enough great words about how wonderful Kimberly was!! She not only took absolutely amazing photos of our wedding but she helped me plan the whole day, gave me all the recommendations I needed from hair and makeup, flowers and a cake! Planning an elopement can be stressful, especially being so far away and planning it in a place you’ve never been but Kimberly made this whole process so easy. She answered all my questions, helped me get everything I needed to get married in glacier and made sure the day went amazing. Even with the rain it was the absolute best day!! I would recommend her to anybody thinking of eloping in Glacier National Park, MT! Thank you Kimberly!! Our photos have surpassed all of my dreams!!

There is not enough positive things I could say about working with Kim and Mayra. They both made the day an absolute dream. The pictures we received were incredible and we can’t stop looking at them. We were so excited for our day and together they created a day that was beyond anything we could have ever imagined. They were helpful, knowledgeable, kind spirited and so much fun. If you’re looking for someone to shoot a wedding, engagement, family photos, or any type of photos in or around glaciers do not hesitate to get KTay for your day. You will not regret it.

Kimberly was amazing to work with! She is great at what she does, really cares about her work and has a creative eye for capturing the perfect memory. We did a National Park elopement shoot with her and she was so helpful throughout the entire process from brainstorming, planning, strategizing, and all of the logistical questions. She offered great advice and guidance which was so needed and helpful since we live across the country from her and needed some help with the details. She was so personable and down to earth and makes you feel comfortable like hanging out with a friend. She also was so nice, we had some great conversations during the shoot as well. It was a lot of fun to work with her and we are so happy with our special day and our pictures we now get to cherish for forever. We are so glad we booked with her and this truly was an investment well spent. We highly recommend KTay Photography to anyone and everyone!!!!

Kimberly was such an amazing help planning out elopement. We had never been to Montana, so having someone who was has such an intimate knowledge with the area was a god send. She helped us work through the process of getting the permit for the park, and our marriage license, navigate a LGBT wedding in a new state, and gave us plenty of locations to choose where to take our photographs. Her help was pivotal in helping us have the most breathtaking experience. We built lasting memories and were able to have them expertly captured.

As a military family- It is always a challenge to figure out when the right time to do anything is. Kimberly was absolutely incredible to deal with especially in the unfortunate times we had changing the schedule!
On top of that she was super fun to work with and had us laughing the entire time. Incredibly blessed to be able to have this experience and would encourage anyone that was second guessing it to just book it. You will not regret it.

Kimberly did a fantastic job with our photos!! She was very personable and made planning our wedding day a breeze! We eloped at Glacier National Park from Texas and she was a huge help when it came to knowing what permits/passes we needed to obtain for our wedding day (and our guests). I would highly recommend her work to anyone looking for a photographer who not only captures the large moments but also the small intimate ones too. She is a truly a gem!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!! We booked for our wedding in Glacier and got so much more than we expected! This duo is perfect! We hired her husband Clay to do our ceremony and it was exactly what we were looking for. Simple, sweet, stress free and they were so good at capturing the things we wanted out of our day. The area was stunning! The photos are incredible! And Kim is so great at what she does. We felt so comfortable and were able to enjoy every location she took us to. She knew exactly what she was doing and the photos are proof! We had so much fun and wouldn’t have changed a thing. We laughed the entire time with her and Clay. Our puppy was able to be apart of our whole experience which was perfect and we will remember the whole day forever! Thank you so much for everything! Do not hesitate to book this incredible couple! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Kimberly is just incredible. My partner and I keep gushing over the photos; they're better than anything we could’ve imagined for the proposal. She was super sweet and friendly, we were having a great time for the entire session. She also made us feel really comfortable and went above and beyond to pose us and find locations that were just stunning. I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer (or better photos!).

I wish I could give a million stars! Kimberly was our dream photographer. I knew from the moment I looked at her images that I loved her work and wanted her to shoot our elopement. I reached out with about 2 weeks until our desired elopement date and she was available. Her husband is an officiant and she had amazing recommendations for hair/makeup and flower shops in the Flathead Valley and was able to guide me through getting our special use permit for Glacier. She made putting our elopement together seamless! Her and her husband are such kind and fun people - all that you could ever hope for in a wedding dream team!

Awesome !!! Kimberly was great ! We had such a wonderful and memorable time in GNP !! She is so nice and easy to get along with. My nervousness and anxiety were gone within seconds of meeting Kimberly. We laughed so much it shows in the photos. I knew as soon as I viewed Kimberly's fb page photos that she was the photographer for us. We were able to pull this elopement off with 3 weeks of planning !! She was a tremendous help. Her husband officiated the ceremony and he was great too!! We requested a bear to photo bomb us and not sure how she did it but a bear showed up while we were driving the GTTSR !! She was able to get some incredible photos of this bear !!! It was truly a magical time !! Highly recommend KTay Photography !!! We are so happy we found her !!!

Kimberly was amazing!! This was our first time getting pictures professionally done and she made us feel comfortable. She knew all the best spots and best angles to get the most beautiful pics. She also gave us a link within a day to see some of the pictures before she finalized them. Totally recommend her to anyone looking to get their pictures done!
