Hi, I am Kim Lan Grout [she/her].


I am a storyteller. Whether through words, photographs, videos, or graphic design, my greatest strength is in telling your unique story. My creative portraiture is a balance of lifestyle and journalistic. From behind the camera, I'll encourage you to simply be you and do your best to ignore me; I'll make photos that capture your natural joy and vivacity, movements and emotions.


I am warm, easy going, love to laugh, and am a classic extrovert. I use these traits to evoke organic smiles and laughter in my subjects, especially from young, camera shy children, and offer calm and humor to otherwise anxious adults. By the end of our shoot, you'll feel like you've hung out with an old friend.
