award-winning wedding and family portrait photography blog featuring the work of photographic artist Kimberly Sayre of Mill Cottage Photography
I love days like this… photographing a brand new baby in the house with his family during his first two weeks on the planet… This little guy was just adorable, and we had a great time with him! Newborn first sessions are really great at home those first two weeks… since it’s hard to get...
At my first wedding of the season with Becky & Mike they celebrated their first dance to my current favorite new song, “Marry Me” by Bay Area artists Train… This song gives me chills… After I downloaded it on iTunes I was transported back to my days as a teenage girl with a crush, and...
I spent a wonderful morning with Kayoko and Joe in Alameda recently! It sure seems to me that they are as in love today as the day they met, and they are completely adorable together! I think it’s great to get photographed with your honey no matter what the occasion – birthday, anniversary, Valentine’s Day...
Ahhhh newborn teenie-tiny babies… I just love them so much… So much in fact that I will photograph a newborn in the family home (or studio) in the first two weeks of life and waive the session fee!! I know what it was like to be a new parent… completely in love with this little...
Holiday portraits are so much fun, especially with an almost 4 year old and a beautiful beach in the mix! I am so thrilled to be the Heath family’s photographer, and love seeing them through so many important milestones… engagement and marriage of their two children, and babyhood to toddlerhood of Steve & Michelle’s son...
I can’t wait for December… Kit & Ginny will be having their baby, and I am so excited for them!! They are such special people, and they will be wonderful parents! Here are a couple of my favorites from their maternity session!
One of the most rewarding liasons I have cultivated in my career is with the wonderful Cooperative Adoption Consultant Ellen Roseman, who I met through my wonderful friends Eric & Melissa. Photographing Eric and Mel for their adoption profile image was a wonderful thing, especially when the birth mother and grandmother of their daughter said that...
We had a great time strolling around downtown Los Gatos… Can’t wait for the wedding at one of my favorite wedding venues of all times, Nestldown!
I love it when everything aligns, and a strong solid image just pops off the page… Had a really fantastic shoot downtown in San Francisco with an incredible model, Spencer Te’0. This man just rocked his look in every location we shot but I think this one is my personal favorite from the...
Ok, I have been promising this session for quite some time… it’s been a busy summer, so I am glad you had time to wait with me! View our photography styling and inspiration board for the shoot here, and the rough draft of some of the finished images in a slideshow
What an amazing time we had creating this styled shoot! My incredible stylist, Carrie D. Mader, pulled together exactly the right mix of things to convey exactly the sentiments of the session… this is the inspiration board… actual images coming soon!

Every photographer has someone in the very beginning of their business who takes a chance on knowing you will do a good job! Someone who knew you could do it even if you hadn’t done it before… someone who believes in you and chooses YOU! Christy and Matt were those clients for me. When I...
Seems like yesterday you saw Matika’s gorgeous baby bump in her San Francisco Urban Maternity Session, and newborn baby Liam came just a few days later… Oh, he’s a yummy little guy, and I am so glad I got to hold him, and get my baby fix… Here’s his first professional family portrait in his home… So...
oh, the sweetness of a brand new life… As I said to her mommy, there’s not a better way to start my day than photographing a brand new baby! Welcome to this little miss, and congratulations to her family, especially her wonderful big brother, who is getting so big! Remember all you future mommies out...
Wine Country wedding season is about to kick in and I can’t wait to photograph my first wedding of the season in Sonoma in a couple of weeks. Before things get too busy it was nice to have a free weekend to head out with my hubby and check out Wineroad in the Russian River wine country and...
So great to see Miss Madeleine and her sweet sister Gianna, and Mommy Nicole at my San Carlos photography studio on Friday! Can’t wait until our next photo playdate with the fabulous fairy dress! Here are a couple of my favorte for Valentine’s Day! I heart you guys!!!
Special thanks to “Uncle” Mitch for giving Josh his first flying machine today! Daddy and Josh took the plane out for a spin, and crashed a lot to Josh’s giggly delight! Daddy giggled too… :^) Kim
I love to photograph children in a pumpkin patch! The candid style with the colorful background is always a favorite… Doesn’t hurt that Fall is my absolutely favorite season! The crisp snap in the air, the bright blue sky, and pumpkins, pumpkins everywhere!! Here’s two… same patch, same kid, 2 years different… my baby is...
Our good friend Mitch suggested we head out to the fair today for all things fried, and we had a blast! It’s been a long time since I have been to a carnival… at least 15 years, but thankfully some things remain the same… thrills, chills, “prizes” you can “win” if you have enough cash,...
Josh is hardcore into his zoo phase, so off we went again today (better than the last time we went on his birthday in the pouring rain, for sure!!) We ran into my old friend Jennifer and her two kiddos, and it was nice to catch up! The kids have gotten so big… I photographed...
