the studio story
I opened my studio, Kyle Zimmerman Photography, in December of 1998 in a thrilling and terrifying jump of blustery confidence and faith. I had been working out of my house for a few years, meeting people at parks or in their homes to create photos and to show them the stories of their lives but I knew I really HAD to get a studio because as I built my clientele, my neighbors interest was growing about the volume of visitors to my house&;)
We loved our space on the corner of Amherst and Central in Nob Hill and thrived there for 9 years, but as 2008 unfolded, we decided to really scale back, hunker down and survive the economic transition with our wits. We moved to a smaller studio which actually ended up serving our space needs better, funny how that works sometimes!
Weve been happily creating photographic evidence of the beauty we see everywhere in our studio at the corner of 12th St. and Mountain Road near Old Town.
Our comfortable studio has a small patio and trees all around that allow us to create indoor and outdoor portraits in the same session!
We save Saturdays for your wedding but during the week we create art of peoples lives every day. I cannot tell you how many of our brides and grooms become long term family portrait clients. It's wonderful!
kyle zimmerman I started fueling my photography passion as a child, using a little box camera to capture images of my family and later in high school, I worked on the yearbook, using my camera as a way and a reason to interact with my fellow students. I finally got serious about shooting when I was about 30, when I left for Europe and learned all about struggling for your art and growing a backbone. Youll have to read my memoir for the whole story!
So I had a career in fashion and advertising, shooting for clients and magazines like Marie Claire and Cosmopolitan and really I did love it. But one day, I was helping a friend take apart her mothers home after she had passed away and under her bed we found a book, 11ıı14, hard pages, full bleed, black and white images shot by a LIFE magazine photographer friend of her mothers family when she was a child.
The images blew me away. They were shockingly beautiful journalistic photos of three children, the mother and her two sisters, running, fighting, eating cereal.
I was changed. I changed my direction, I turned a corner and knew in that instant that images like this mattered so much, even if they only end up belonging to one family, I knew that they would exist and live for generations. I knew that I wanted to make images, stories and books that would become proof of lives fully lived.
I would love to talk with you about your wedding plans and find a perfect way to work together.
