Like the prodigal sister returning home, our very talented and popular Kim Harms is back with Trystan Photography after a year of spreading her wings under her own studio brand. Kim had been with us for years before she announced she was striking out on her own.

We were so proud of her. She’s a very talented photographer, and she deserved the chance!

Turns out she loves taking photos, not running a business. That’s very understandable. It’s not for everyone.

That’s quite all-right, I don’t mind running a business and Char and I love having her back. She is an amazing person, and an amazing photographer.

Kim’s absolute favorite photo subject are those adorable newborn babies! So, if you’re having a child soon, or if you know someone who is, share this link with them and help Kim have a great Summer Welcome back with Trystan Photography.

Kim will also be photographing families and seniors for Trystan Photography as well. I’ll be updating those galleries soon!

Please help us get the word out by sharing this post on Facebook or Twitter:

Oh this little man was a dream, he did SO incredibly well for me! I love me some sleepy babies!

Miss Leah was a joy to photograph! And incredibly sweet… I love watching first time parents with their new baby. The love and amazement in their eyes is indescribable and these lucky parents were no exception.  So in love with their new baby girl… and who can blame them, she’s beautiful!

Such a gorgeous little girl… and oh so sweet!

Brooklyn was a joy to photograph, loved this session!

The sleeping baby craze has even made it to the Today show!

I am proud to say (in my very biased opinion), that Kim’s sleeping baby stuff is much cooler. If you haven’t checked out Kim’s sleeping baby and newborn photos, make sure you do and tell a friend!

Can also see all of Kim’s blog posts about her newborn sessions.

Bradon was wide-eyed nearly the whole session. He slept a couple times but only on momma!
But look at those big alert eyes, adorable!

Such a handsome little guy… and a pure joy to work with!

Kendahl was one of my dream babies! She slept like a rock the entire time!! And she did awesome with holding her head up (or staying balanced!) on her arms.

She’s beautiful and looks so much like her big brother, Kai! I look forward to her 3 month old portraits.

I’ve gotta’ say… I love her hair! She has so much of it, the most out of all the newborns I’ve shot recently. Her mommy said she looks like a monkey… a pretty cute one I might ad! Just teasing! She’s beautiful! I was suppose to photograph her birth but she just couldn’t wait for me to get back from my trip and was born the morning of the day I came home. I guess her momma will just have to have another one!

This little guy was a pure joy to work with!
He’s the baby brother to twin 3 year old sisters and they are just head over heals in love with their new brother!

Benjamin Stryker… what a cool name! Especially Stryker for the middle name!

He was a doll to work with… perfection!

Can I just say, I love my job!

This was one of my favorite sessions… this little guy was so content and let me do whatever I wanted. A true photographers dream!

This little girl was a dream… she was screaming (from her bath) and wide awake when I arrived but as soon as she had her bottle and a little bit of cuddling, she was out for the count. And once she was, she was great!

Oh so new… and precious!
This little guy was 9 days new and a pure joy to work with!

I am so excited to be blogging on here and so excited to share my work and be part of Trystan Photography!

Like Tryg said, I have been shooting with Trystan Photography for several years now (wow! time sure does fly!) and I am so grateful for all they have taught me. They are so much fun to work with and I feel so blessed to be part of their team!

I am excited to start shooting their children portraits but most excited about shooting the newborn sessions. It’s my true passion of photography. I love everything about it. The “newness”, the curl of a newborn, their tiny fingers and toes, the innocence… I could go on and on.

And just so you all know… I’m no writer. Don’t expect extravagant blog posts with whit and humor like Tryg…  from me, you’ll get short and simple blog posts but always with pictures from recent sessions!

It’s rare when you stumble across a talent so gifted and natural that it inspires you as a photographer.

Photography is hard for most. It’s easier for some. And then there are the few that make it look almost effortless.

Kim Harms has that kind of talent. She takes photos that are so stunning, and yet she is so unassuming about the whole thing, that it kindles a kind of jealousy within me. That’s right. I said it. Jealousy.

Char and I knew we were onto something special years ago when Kim first started assisting for us. She has this incredible eye which coupled with her completely unassuming demeanor makes it very fun and relaxing to shoot with her. She never seems stressed, she never seems bothered, and photography never seems hard for her.

And the best part is there has never been a photo shoot of her’s that we didn’t look through the shots and think at least once: how did she do that?!?

Charlotte and I are her biggest fans. And I couldn’t be more excited or proud to announce that Kim Harms has paid her dues, earned her stripes, and is now a lead portrait photographer with Trystan Photography!

All of Kim’s work is tremendous, but I think she especially shines in her newborn portraits and babies / kids portraits, which she’ll be specializing in for Trystan Photography. I’ve posted some of my favorites from her portfolio of newborn portraits below.

I just have one question: How does she get those babies to sleep like that!?! How!?! I couldn’t do that with my kids, ever.

So if you have an adorable newborn: call us!.. or know someone with a newborn: forward this onto them! You simply don’t see newborn portraits like these everyday!
