Hi, I’m Amanda and I’m here to say it: time is a liar, a thief, and a complete jerk. One minute you’re Googling “how to swaddle a baby” at 2 a.m., and the next, your baby is asking for the car keys and reminding you that you’re not “cool.” (Rude.)
I get it because I’m living it. I’ve got two teenagers now, and while I’d love to tell you it’s all calm and Pinterest-perfect, I’ll just say this: thank God for photos.
Pictures have this magical way of stopping time, and let’s be real - you’re going to blink, and these moments will be gone. That’s why I make it my mission to help you capture them, whether it’s your squishy new baby, your chaotic toddler, or your eye-rolling teenager who will thank you later (probably when they’re 30).
Every year, I drag my own family in front of the camera, and yeah, sometimes it’s chaos. But now I’ve got this incredible collection of images - actual printed ones on my dining room wall! - that show us growing, changing, and living life together. When I look at them, I don’t see the chaos. I see love.
That’s what I want to give you: real, beautiful memories that don’t live on a hard drive. The first wobbly smile. The messy cake smash. The family hugs. The stuff that matters.
I’ll make you look and feel amazing (yes, even if you’re sleep-deprived or haven’t seen a hairbrush in days). I’ll make your kids laugh. I’ll take care of the details—outfits, props, the works. All you have to do is show up and let me work my magic.
Because trust me on this: selfies are great, but they’re not what you’re going to frame and cry over in 20 years. This? This is worth it.
Tina is the peanut butter to my jelly, the sparkle to my shine, and the one who keeps the wheels turning while bringing ALL the creative magic to your sessions. If you’re stepping into one of our epic themed shoots - like mermaids, wizards, or fairies - Tina’s the mastermind making it all come to life. And for Senior sessions? She’s the hype woman who can turn even the most camera-shy teen into a total star.
Oh, and newborn sessions? She’s there, too, because your baby’s safety is our number one priority. With two teen girls of her own, Tina knows all the tricks to wrangle tiny humans (and their sleep-deprived parents) like a pro. She’s basically a toddler whisperer—think peek-a-boo champion and ultimate smile-getter. Even reluctant kiddos can’t resist her goofy charm and glittery energy.
When she’s not behind the scenes sprinkling fairy dust, Tina is the Quality Control Queen, making sure every piece of artwork is chef’s kiss perfect before it heads home with you. She’ll personally let you know when your stunning portraits are ready for pickup - probably with the same excitement as Oprah giving out free cars.
Tina is the heart and humor of Kimberlin Gray Photography, and we’re so lucky to have her. Trust me: every studio needs a Tina, but you can’t have ours! ❤️

"Amanda at Kimberlin Gray Photography is AMAZING!!
Not only was she able to hold my daughter's attention throughout her first year cake smash photoshoot, but she also took BEAUTIFUL pictures that our family will enjoy for years to come. We had fun getting her to smile and seeing her do all sorts of cute poses while giggling the entire time."
