A simple process built on trust + intention.

What to Expect

Photography is more than pretty pictures — it’s a way to hold on to what matters most. At Rooted Two, every session is an experience rooted in care, intention, and storytelling. Whether you're graduating, starting a family, or eloping under western skies, I approach every story with the same heart: honest, cinematic, and deeply human.

From first email to final delivery, I guide you every step of the way so you can feel fully seen and fully at ease.

Near or Far — We'll Meet You There


From alpine trails to desert skies, oceanside cliffs to open plains — wherever your story unfolds, I’ll meet you there.

Whether it’s a senior stepping into a new chapter, a family making memories on the coast, or a couple chasing light in the mountains — your story deserves to be told with intention, wherever you are.

Check out some of my favorite sessions from last season — each one grounded in connection and rooted in place.

Meet the Two Behind Rooted Two

We’re Kimberly and Dawson — the married team behind Rooted Two Photo + Film.

Kimberly captures the stills. Dawson rolls the film. Together, we document real stories with intention, honesty, and heart — from seniors to soulmates, mountains to meadows.

We believe in the beauty of the in-between — wind in your hair, laughter between poses, and the way light wraps around the people you love. It’s not about looking perfect. It’s about feeling seen.
