Kim Starkey is an Idaho-based wedding, family, and elopement photographer specializing in natural, emotion-filled photography across Stanley, Boise, McCall, Sun Valley, and the Sawtooth Mountains.

Hi!! I’m Kim Starkey!

I am a Boise family & wedding photographer.
I crave documenting the real stuff:
the messy cuddles, the windblown hair,
the “oh my gosh, that’s so us” kind of moments.

Whether we’re chasing your toddlers through a mountain meadow or dancing in the kitchen with your person, I want your photos to feel like YOU!

This isn’t just about pretty pictures.
It’s about freezing the heart of right now,
before it changes again. It happens so fast.

I BELIEVE IN PHOTOS THAT....

I BELIEVE IN PHOTOS THAT....

FEEL LIKE YOU AND YOUR CREW

PAUSE THE PRESENT MOMENT

FILL THE WALLS OF. YOUR HOME WITH LOVE

last a freaking lifetime

WHERE I DO MY BEST WORK

Families running wild and loving hard.

 Couples saying hell yes to forever.     Landscapes that stop you in your tracks.

 These are the stories I’m meant to tell—and the ones I come alive for.

SOMETIMES I SAY YES TO….

I don’t market myself as a senior, maternity, or branding photographer… 

but when the vibe’s right? 
I’m so in!!

Real connection > categories. 

So if it matters to you, it matters to me.

MATERNITY

What they said…

  • A family walking hand-in-hand at their generational farm home in rural Idaho during golden hour, captured in a meaningful, candid family photography session by Kim Starkey.

    "The experience was wonderful and seamless from beginning to end. I especially appreciated the style guide. Her assistance helped our vision come together."

    Kimmie P.

  • Intimate fall wedding portrait in Donnelly, Idaho. The groom in a rust suit kisses the bride, who holds a bold, moody bouquet, with golden trees and wild grass in the background.

    "Kim is an absolute phenomenal photographer to work with. She makes it easy to get exactly what you envisioned and can somehow get all our kids to participate!"

    Shannon F

  • Bride and groom kiss in the water during an elopement at McGown Peak in Stanley, Idaho, with the Sawtooth Mountains in the background.

    "Amazing. Top to bottom. We had so much fun this felt more like hanging out with an old friend with a side of picture taking. The entire experience was PERFECT. She can turn a shoulder of the road into what looks like an untouched pristine meadow with her artistic eye and professional touch. If you are debating on photographers, STOP IT. Call Kim."
