Our Story
After retiring from software development and spending half of my life as a hobbyist, I became very serious about sports photography in 2016. I wanted to capture those crispy action shots; the kind with incredible detail. After spending hundreds of hours on the pitch and capturing thousands of action photos, I decided to give portrait photography a go. I discovered how much I love working with studio lights and creating photographs that pop! That's when our studio was born and my husband, Jeff (aka el Hefe), became "the light guy". A couple years later we changed our name to Kim Took Them, I became a Certified Professional Photographer, working towards my Master of Photography; and, Jeff is still "the light guy".

The Photographer & Editor
Great photography is more than great photos, it's a great experience too. I love working with people and giving them the best experience along with photos they will cherish because when you look at your photos you should have nothing but happy memories. And, when people see their final photographs and they say "Wow! I love it!" that brings me great joy.

The Light Guy
A Lead iOS Developer by day, and "the light guy" during our shoot, Jeff is the key difference in our photography. He does more than hold the light, he tends to the key details on set. When you have someone, like Jeff, who can hold a studio strobe with a modifier on a boom stick AND manage all the set details - it makes a world of difference during the shoot and in the final photographs.
