• I am the wife of a high school band director, which makes me the "band mom".
• I am the mom of the most adorable little girl, who is already one and a half.
• I am an advocate of keeping the arts in schools.
• I don't cook, but I love to bake and make candy.
• I love all things crafty and make many of my own photography props.
• I like to think that I am good at gardening, but really it's just a lot of work.
As a photographer:
I am a member of the Professional Photographers of America and the Professional Photographers of Oregon. I strive to continually evolve as a photographer by participating in as many educational opportunities as I can. I studied film photography and worked in the darkroom throughout high school and college, so I have a firm foundation in the art of photography.
I never really thought that I would be a photographer, even after spending years studying the art. In 2005, my brother-in-law and his fiancee asked me to photograph their wedding after they had trouble booking a photographer for their holiday-weekend wedding. I was reluctant to take on such a huge responsibility, but looking back, that wedding was what gave me the push I needed to start my business.
In 2007, after David and I were settled in Cottage Grove, I made it official and opened Kim Larsen Photography as a part-time career along-side my "day job". After having our daughter, Paige, in January 2010, I took much of 2010 off to enjoy her first year. However, even after taking time off, business was stronger in 2010 than any previous year, and the business is continuing to grow. Due to this growth, I left my "day job" in June, 2011 and took the business full-time!
I am excited to see what opportunities await me as I continue to grow the business, and I hope that you will be a part of our growth!
