HEY THERE, FRIEND! I'M SO HAPPY TO MEET YOU!
 
My name's Kolby! I'm a 26 year-old cinematic, documentary photographer living on the beautiful central coast of California.
Since I was a young child, I have greatly enjoyed reading & art. I have always felt very connected to my creative & imaginative side, loving to spend my days making up stories or sitting at the craft table my grandmother would lay out for me. As I've grown, I've found great joy in things like writing poetry, crocheting, knitting, sewing, embroidery, journaling, & telling stories within my photography work. I was gifted my first camera at the age of 15 from my grandfather & instantly fell in love with the art form, a mutual passion that him & I get to share that warms my heart everyday.
What started out as just clicking a button & capturing a moment, quickly became a way for me to tell people's stories in an artistic way to portray their emotions on a much deeper scale. Creating pictures that make you want to scrapbook & look back on & feel all the feels because time passes so quickly. I think it's really important to have photos that bring you nostalgic joy, to hold those moments still for just one second longer. Capturing those stories is so fun for me & I just can't wait to capture yours!
A FEW THINGS ABOUT ME:
- I grew up in Southern California but spent my 4 high-school years in Wyoming. That time taught me so much, especially how grateful I am to be living in California again haha.
- I married my angel of a husband September of 2024! We dated for 3 years before we got engaged, 2.5 of those years being long-distance. It was difficult to be far apart but well worth the wait. He is my best friend in the whole world & my inspiration for so much that I do. I never knew a love like this existed until I met him!
- I work part-time as a barista, I loooove love love coffee & matcha & basically just being in a café holding a cozy little drink. I've been in the industry for about 6 years now & still love it just as much, if not more, than when I started at 20.
- I have 3 tattoos! A postage stamp of poppy flowers, the date of my sister's birth, & a little baby strawberry!
- I owe everything I am to Jesus! I firmly believe I was brought to this Earth not just to create but showcase the beauty that my Creator crafted with His own two hands, capturing the love stories & nature that He created. That is my purpose & the reason photography is such a big passion of mine.
Now it's time to get to know you!
