Hi, I'm Kimberly.
Based in Austin. Styling anywhere.
I love clothes, a good theme, and figuring out what everyone should wear.
I help people figure out what to wear for photos, and I genuinely love the details. Send me the shoes you're deciding between. Show me the dress when it arrives. I'll tell you what I think.
I've always been this person.
Before The Golden Hour Edit existed, I was already doing some version of this.
I love a theme. If there is any excuse to build something around an idea, my brain is already working.
I lived for theme parties in college. Still do. I threw a 70s roller disco at a rink for my birthday in my twenties. When my birthday fell on Black Friday, naturally there was a Black Friday party. Most recently, I celebrated with sequins.
Having kids gave me even more opportunities. My family coordinates Halloween costumes every year. Participation is not optional. There have been pirate parties, camping parties, and a Cowboy Spider-Man birthday that I had to invent from scratch. Costumes, wearable party favors, all the little details. Exactly the kind of assignment I enjoy.
I love throwing a themed party, but I've always been just as interested in figuring out what people should wear for a particular place, plan, or feeling.
I did it for myself. I did it for my family. I did it for friends. I was the person asking what everyone was wearing, sending links, noticing when one thing changed the direction, and caring maybe a little too much about whether it all worked together.
Eventually, I decided to make a business out of it.
Color, texture, proportion. I've been looking at them for years.
I spent nearly a decade in the beauty industry, working in product development and brand marketing. That world trained my eye.
I spent years thinking about color, undertones, textures, and the smallest differences between things that might look identical to someone else. From makeup formulas and finishes to packaging and printed materials, I cared about how things looked, felt, and worked together.
I notice when a blue looks too gray or muddy, when a texture doesn't quite work with another, or when two colors are almost right together but not quite.
A warmer tone. A better contrast. The wrong beige. The right red. Sometimes it's a detail you can't quite explain, but you know when it works.
Having kids added a whole new set of things to consider.
Because real life is not a mood board. It is school pickup, soccer sidelines, weather, clothes that need to arrive on time, adults with opinions, kids with even stronger opinions, and the very real need to sit on the grass.
I still love a great color combination, a surprising shoe, and an outfit that feels a little more interesting than expected. I just want it to work for the person actually wearing it, too.
Everyone gets to look like themselves, not like they came in a set.
I'm looking at the people first. Then the setting, the photographer's style, the colors, the strong opinions, and the detail that makes the whole thing more interesting.
Sometimes that is a family of five. Sometimes it is a couple, a mom with a new baby, a senior, or one person who needs a headshot that still looks like them.
I want people to feel good in what they're wearing and love how the clothes look together. There can be matching colors, mixed patterns, or something a little unexpected. It should still feel like the people wearing it.
And if you ask me for a recommendation, whether it's shoes, skincare, or a lipstick, I'm probably going to have one. I genuinely love sharing the things I find and the things I've tried.
Okay, now tell me about your photos.
Who's going to be in them? What are you imagining? Do you already have a dress you love?
I'd love to hear about it and figure out how I can help.
