  • Working with Kim was fun, easy, and professional from day one. We did press pics for our band with her and had an absolute blast. She's great at what she does and a lovely person to work with. Highly recommend!

  • I’ve been needing to update my promo photos for awhile and Kim was the perfect person to collaborate with, not only did she have great ideas but she made me really comfortable getting my photo taken which for some can be stressful. I would highly recommend working with her and hope to work with her again.

  • I am blown away by my experience with Settled Studio. As someone who is camera shy and nervous about having my picture taken, Kim knew how to bring out my inner muse and made the process so fun. I ended up with tons of beautiful photos, so many that it was difficult to narrow down which ones to use for my project. I am particularly impressed with Kim's ability to create a mood and story in each image.

  • You know when someone just gets it? Enter Kim. Her intuition and vision provide boundless creativity coupled with a settled knowing each step of the way. From curation to creation, my photoshoot was beyond my wildest dreams and has allowed me to communicate both myself and my brand in ways I never could before. Hire her now
