Emily Kim Photography blog

Working in tech + pursuing creative endeavors outside of the usual 9 to 5 seems to be a common theme throughout many of the lovely clients I get to work with! Nam booked a content creation session a few weeks back to grab outfit photos for her blog, Tres Nams. She’s currently working at Poshmark […]

  Click, click, change! If you’re a fashion blogger or influencer, you’re probably used to these sounds. Although this is a dramatization (of course you get more than two photos!), it’s not far from what happens at blogger photoshoots. As an influencer photographer, I’ve gotten to know the ins and outs of how to best […]

I met Alana through my good friend and client Sonia. We first met at her portrait session a few months ago (after she won an award for her film work!) When Alana reached out again to do a gender reveal session, I was so excited. Color bombs? Yes please! On top of that, I got […]

Oh man did I love working with Melissa! The golden light + her glam dress was an absolute dream to photograph. We chatted about what it’s like to move to a new city, education, and everything in between. Melissa graduated early, recently moved to San Francisco and is currently studying for her MBA! Her plan […]

This past week I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Jessica of La Casa Silva. She’s so sweet and genuine, and has killer style to go with it! We share many things in common – one of them being that we’re both engineers in our 9-to-5 job! I love meeting ladies in technical […]

I’ve always been a big fan of meetups and community events. Being a newcomer to the Bay Area, it was great to be able to meet other creatives! Bloggers, photographers, and models from all over the Bay attended. Mission Loft has always been a dream space of mine for photography. Everything about the space is absolutely […]

I always love working with bloggers, and Tiffany has quickly become one of my regulars! She’s always a joy to work with and is such an inspiration as a hardworking, single momma.  Crisp, custom content is the key to running a successful blog, brand, & Instagram feed. Ditch those last minute phone pics, dress up, […]
