HI, my name is Kim

I'm the face behind Six Fifteen Photography, and I'm so glad you're here!


The name Six Fifteen Photography was originally inspired by my oldest daughter. Since then, our family has grown into a wonderfully busy crew of four amazing kids—three of my own and one bonus child—ranging in age from 21 to 5. Life is always an adventure around here, and honestly... I wouldn't have it any other way!


Recently, our family made the exciting move to Bellevue, Iowa, and we are loving putting down roots in this beautiful Mississippi River town. While I'm proud to now call Bellevue home, I happily serve clients throughout Eastern Iowa, Northwest Illinois, Southwest Wisconsin and beyond. Whether you're planning a session close to home or in a destination that means something special to you, I'd love to help tell your story.


When I'm not behind the camera, you'll usually find me planning our next adventure, taking spontaneous day trips, getting lost in a good book, horseback riding, or diving into my latest home design or DIY project. Above all, I cherish spending quality time with my family and friends. As a proud sports mom, you'll often find me on the sidelines cheering on my kids while capturing the moments through my lens. Growing up riding and showing horses also gave me a lifelong love for the equestrian world, making equine photography one of my favorite specialties.


Photography has been a lifelong passion, and it has shaped a style that is authentic, heartfelt, and timeless. My goal is to capture genuine moments and real connections—the laughter, emotion, and little details that tell your unique story. I want to create images that not only preserve a moment in time but become treasured memories that you and your loved ones will cherish for years to come. Since beginning my professional photography journey in 2010, I've had the privilege of documenting countless stories—from the beauty of everyday moments to once-in-a-lifetime celebrations. It is an honor to be trusted with these memories, and I would love the opportunity to be part of your story and create beautiful images you'll treasure for generations!
