So that’s that then! I’m still very happy to shoot for friends and past clients, so please contact me via phone or on fb messenger if you’d like to book a session.

Well hello there!

How is everyone?

Long time no see 🙃

I was just sitting here having a little think…and I wonder if anyone would be interested in a shoot over summer?

Over 12 years ago, on the 15th of March to be exact, I had my first paying photography client. I had no idea what I was doing, but I knew I loved it.

I’ve spent my time since then photographing countless weddings, family portraits, corporate headshots, events, cake smashes, and of course my favourite – newborns. So it’s taken a lot of thought before I could came to you today with my decision that I’m hanging up my camera for a while, and closing Kimel Images as we know it.

From today, I won’t be taking on any new clients. However I would like to any of my past clients to always feel free to contact me because you all know how much I love to watch families grow, so I might just be able to work something out for you.

In the meantime I’ll be spending my days with my family, enjoying the time with my kids while they’re still little (and of course being the Mum Taxi taking them to all their social and extracurricular events!).

Thank you so much to the hundreds of people who have trusted me to capture their memories over the years, I really have enjoyed it and hopefully one day I will come back to it.

March 31st is World Backup Day.

When was the last time you backed up your photos?

It won’t be easy. You might hate it. Body acceptance doesn’t happen in a day.

Say what you want about that old shoebox full of photos our parents left us — it worked. We still have those images; a visual history of our family's life, because they did that. If we did nothing more than make a bunch of prints and shoved them in a new shoebox today, we'd be ensuring future generations would have those images. Printing matters. :)

Baby isn’t far away now so it’s not likely that I will be shooting for a while, but just in case I do - as always, the health and safety of my tiny clients (and their families!) is always high on my radar.

What a beautiful, colourful, and sticky final client before I go on maternity leave! Cake smashes are so much fun :)

Nawwww such a cute photo! I’ve definitely had a few new mums and dads fall asleep during their newborn sessions 😉

While I was busy posing baby, my assistant whispered at me to turn around and I saw mom and dad snoozing on the couch during the session. Every parent knows the sleep-deprived exhaustion that comes with having a newborn, we've all been there! ❤️ I'm so grateful they trusted me enough with their brand new little one that they were able to get in a much deserved nap 🥰

Long after the flames have been extinguished, the media is gone, people have moved on and you’ve found a new place to live - be it temporary (which could still be 5 years!) or permanent.
You’re beginning to deal with the trauma & tragedy of things you wish you never saw, the generous donations from around the world have been handed out and you’ve managed to buy some more “stuff” to fill this house with.... I know it still won’t feel like home. And nor should it.
It’s not yours. You didn’t want it. You were happy where you were.
Everything in it is either donated or bought on a whim with some relief appeal money (of which you are endlessly grateful for!) because you suddenly realised “f**k, where will I sleep? Where will my kids eat their breakfast? I have no towels!”
So you make a drive to fantastic furniture and JBHiFi and just say “I’ll take one of everything please”.

Now your house is full, but it still doesn’t feel like home.....
There are no memories there.
You have to make new ones.
It’s so hard, but you just HAVE too!
It won’t feel like home until you do - trust me, I know first hand.
And when you’re ready to do that, when you’re ready to fill your walls with memories again, call me & I’ll be there. ❤️ Louise
