In this special episode of Excelsior!, I take a break from guest interviews as I prepare for an exciting new chapter—motherhood! While on maternity break, I'll be diving into topics I love, and this time, I’m joined by my studio mate, Nik Linde, for a laid-back chat about what it’s like to be a photographer in 2025. Nik and I share a space at Sturdy Studios, and as fellow photographers, we have plenty to talk about!

For the first time, I open up about my own journey—how I fell in love with photography at just six years old back in 1994 and how that passion has grown and evolved over the years. From my earliest experiences behind the camera to the ever-changing landscape of photography today, we explore what it means to make a living in this industry and how we continue to adapt and grow as artists.

Tune in for a casual yet insightful conversation about the ever-changing world of photography!

Have you ever met someone whose energy is so magnetic that you can’t help but be drawn to them? That’s exactly how I felt when I met Kimberly Perrine. She’s one of those rare individuals who lights up the room with her dynamic personality and unwavering authenticity.

Kimberly is a true force of nature—someone who dives into passion projects wholeheartedly, no matter how many hours are in a day. As a Holistic Health Coach and Independent Insurance Agent, she wears many hats and balances them with grace and enthusiasm. Beyond her professional titles, Kimberly is a master networker (we met at an AGC networking event!) and a hard working, creative soul who inspires everyone she meets.

In this episode, Kimberly shares her journey, her approach to staying true to herself, and how she manages to juggle multiple projects while keeping her energy bright and contagious. Plus, her vibrant style and those striking blue eyes are just as unforgettable as her story!

Tune in to be inspired by Kimberly’s passion, drive, and wisdom. And don’t forget to connect with her on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/kimberlys.
