Hi, I'm Kimber.
Your Guide to Experience.

I'M HERE TO MAKE YOU ART!
I love to photograph pregnant mamas, pregnant mamas underwater, naked mamas (boudoir), and kick@ss, adventurous couples! Fun fact: I met the love of my life on a dive trip in Panama! We really connected over our love of science, and he hired me to assist with his cave diving research (he didn’t really have a choice, I was the only undergrad with the necessary certification!).
Now, I’m the mom of one wild boy and goldendoodle puppy, named Quentin Quarantino (I’ve been stuck at home for a while)! My son was our miracle baby and arrived after a miscarriage, years of infertility, and long, excruciating battle with postpartum depression. I’m a big believer in voicing my story to encourage others in similar places and to (hopefully) help lessen the stigma surrounding mental illness. If you ever need to chat, please reach out!

When I’m not out shooting or exploring, I enjoy reading, talking to my houseplants, and staying heavily caffeinated. I live to travel and have been fortunate enough to photograph 24 countries so far. One of my goals is to take my son to all 50 states before his high school graduation!
I love helping other photographers learn- especially with underwater work! If you’re an aspiring underwater photographer, please feel welcome to join my education group on Facebook (Underwater Portraiture). I also offer private and group mentoring as well.
At Water Bear Photography, we do not discriminate against age, gender, sexual orientation, ability, etc. Proud LGBTQ+ ally. Really the only kind of people I don’t like, are mean ones. Sorry, not sorry.
I GET AROUND
“Kimber is such a talent! Her eye for design, lighting, and movement in photographs is superb. She is so creative and her work is always stunning. Everything from her weddings to branding photos, maternity, and headshots – I love all of her work! On top of the talent, she is also a genuinely nice and kind person to work with. Highly recommended!”
