About us

Kris Kimel, MFA

I rely on my strong fine arts background to create beautiful, artistic images every time I shoot. I think my work is the perfect blend of real-life moments and timeless, relaxed posed portraiture. I strive to create images that seem natural and capture my subjects’ unique personalities. I love capturing the priceless memories of a dream wedding, a baby’s precious smile, a high school senior’s sense of pride and accomplishment, or a growing family’s festive holiday portraits. No matter the subject, I have a relaxed, friendly approach that puts my clients at ease and captures their unique personalities. I love my job and there is nothing I’d rather be doing!

Me

I’m a Tallahassee native and love living here. It’s the perfect place for me. I like being outside and in my free time you’ll find me kayaking, biking, paddle boarding, and hiking. I have two awesome,  mostly-grown kids, Sophie and Jake, who I love to spend time with. I enjoy home projects, gardening, working in my yard, and making my surroundings beautiful.

My Work

I earned a bachelor’s degree is Studio Art and a master’s degree in Fine Arts with a focus in Photography, both from Florida State University. I opened Kris Kimel Photography in 2000 and have been thrilled to watch it grow since then. I also teach Digital Photography I and II at Thomas University. It’s so much fun sharing my passion for photography with my students!
