A few FAQ...

Ok first, what’s your name?
It seems weird, but people ask me this all the time! Ok, my first name is “Kim Le”. I’ve never been a hyphen kind of girl, so it has always confused people, even my friends. My full name is “Kim Le Thi Pham”, with “Thi” being my middle name and “Pham” being my last name. To make matters even more confusing, I am the youngest of 7 girls in the Phamily and we are all named “Kim L-something”. Yes, I know. There’s “Kim Lien, Kim Lan, Kim Ly, Kim Lang, Kim Luu, Kim Lieu” and yours truly. Just typing that was confusing! Anyway, you can call me “Kim Le”, “Kim”, or the ever popular “Lil’ Kim” (no relation to the rapper). =)

What’s your style?
My style is portrait photojournalism. I capture images that tell a story of the wedding day – the moments, emotions and details that make your day truly special and unique. When there’s a break in the action, I take the opportunity to take posed portraits of the bride & groom with family & friends. Coming from such a big family myself, I understand how important it is to involve everyone in your big day!

Do you only offer wedding photography?
No, I offer photography services for a variety of events and needs. These types of photography include but are not limited to:
• Headshot/portrait photography
• Boudoir sessions
• Corporate photography
• Baby/youth portraits
• Senior/high school portraits
• Special events: birthdays, anniversaries, reunions, etc…

Do you shoot digital or film? What kind of equipment do you use?
I only shoot in digital and with Canon equipment, utilizing a variety of professional grade lenses as needed throughout the shoot.

How much do you charge?
It all depends on your type of event and length of photography coverage. Please contact me with details of your event and I will provide you with a custom quote.

How do we see our photos?
All of my photo coverage will be provided via online proofing and CD. From the online proofs, you can order prints in a range of sizes and customize an album.

Do you shoot destination weddings?
YES!!! My base is in Southern California, but I am happy and more than willing to travel to meet your destination needs. Travel fees are applicable to areas outside of Southern California.

What are boudoir sessions?
Boudoir photography is a sexy new trend in the photography industry and is very popular among brides. Boudoir photos are used as creative gifts we give to ourselves or our significant others. These photos are not usually nude, but give the impression of “implied nudity”. It all depends on your comfort level!
