Hello! I'm Kibely
a little about me
Originally born and raised in NYC, I moved to the Poconos for high school and grew up surrounded by mountains and slow, quiet moments, alongside the bustle of city life and a touch of the coast. I started exploring film and digital photography in 2016, and in that moment I knew I wanted to create memories, not just for myself, but for other people in their own season of life.
That realization shapes everything I create now. I know firsthand how meaningful these images become, not in the moment they're taken, but years later, when you look back and remember exactly how it felt.
Beyond the work itself, I'm drawn to golden light, textures, the coastline, nostalgia, and the quiet beauty of everyday life. My happiest days are spent with my husband and our two kids, laughing with friends, walking through open fields or along the beach, and having slow mornings that set the tone for everything after.
If you're looking for someone to document your day in a way that feels like you, I'd be honored to be part of it.
A happy crier, a random drive taker and a lover of people

WHY I LOVE WHAT I DO
We've already established my love for photography and documenting love, but the most important part of hiring a photographer is finding someone you feel comfortable with, and someone you can be wholeheartdely yourself around.
So here's a little bit about me to help you get to know me better:
- I'm a servant of Christ. His grace and mercy have shaped me into the woman I am today. That's the most important thing about me.
-I ADORE being outside. Whether it's traveling or just driving to a pretty place, nothing beats fresh air and a bit of adventure. Growing up, some of my favorite memories were bonfires and s'mores with my family and that love for the outdoors has stuck with me ever since. If you feel most like yourself outside too, we'll get along great.
- I also love music. since I was a kid I learned to play the violin, and overall listening to music is still something that grounds me. If you've got a song that feels like "your song," I'd love to hear about it when we work together.
- I'm a people person at heart. I love getting to know new people, hearing their stories, and creating memories alongside them, which honestly, is my favorite part of this job.
- I'm always open and excited to travel to document more stories, wherever that takes me. If travel is part of your story, I'd love to be there for it.
At the end of the day, this is about you, your story, your people, and the moments that matter to you. I just get to be there to hold onto them.
Photography is more than a job to me. It's how I express love, and how I get to be part of telling your story. Before we get into all of that though, I think the most important part of choosing a photographer is finding someone you actually feel comfortable with. Someone you can be fully yourselves around, even in front of a camera. So here's a bit about me, and hopefully some things we might already have in common.

Connection
Every experience begins with understanding who you are, not just what you need. Before I ever pick up my camera, I want to know your story. What led you here. What matters most to you. What you hope to feel on your wedding day. That understanding shapes everything about how I document your story, because I cannot honor what I do not first understand.
Connection
Intentions Over Trends
I create images that reflect your story, not what is popular at the moment. Trends fade. Your marriage does not. I am not interested in chasing what is current, I am interested in documenting what is real, true, and lasting. The images I create today should feel just as meaningful to you in twenty years as they do the day you receive them.
Inclusive
I take on a limited amount of weddings per year to give you every ounce of my energy so that I can tell the story of your day in an undeniably you way. Your team of vendors and I will work together to ensure you're only thinking about what matters, being present.
