Meet Your Montana Boudoir Photographer: Kimberly Heller

Hellllooo šŸ¤
I’m Kim… aka Kimberly… aka Mom… aka Babe/Wife…
aka ā€œthe girl who takes naked pictures in small town Montana.ā€

And honestly… yeah, that one stuck šŸ˜

A Little About Me

I was born and raised in Saskatchewan, Canada (or Sasky if you know, you know). Montana has always been part of my story though — I grew up visiting family and friends here, and somewhere along the way… it turned into home.
I met my husband here, built a life here, and now this little small town is where my business — and my heart — lives. Before all of this, it was just me and my son, Ryden.
And funny enough… he’s actually the reason I picked up a camera in the first place.

How Photography Started

In Canada, we get 12 whole months of paid maternity leave (I know… wild, right!?). So there I was, home with my baby, and I needed something creative to pour into…
So I turned to YouTube. That’s where it all started.

Learning lighting.
Learning angles.
Learning how to see people.

And my first subject?
Always my son šŸ¤

From there, I started asking friends and family if I could practice — and if you know how this goes… once you photograph one person, it spreads like wildfire. Suddenly I had people reaching out.
And I was learning with every single session.

Before Boudoir

For years, I focused on:

  • Family sessions
  • Seniors / graduation
  • Lifestyle photography

And I loved it.But then one day… everything shifted.

My First Boudoir Session

My cousin’s girlfriend at the time asked me if I would shoot her boudoir photos. And I’ll be honest…
I had to go straight to Pinterest to figure out what that even meant šŸ˜‚ In my head it was very much ā€œbedroom boudoirā€ā€¦
So we shot in a poorly lit room… with a bed… and I look back now like šŸ˜…šŸ˜…šŸ˜… But something about it… stuck with me. It sparked something.

Finding My Style

For the first 5-ish years, I would have called myself a light and bright boudoir photographer. But over time… I found myself craving more depth. More emotion. More mood. And now?

I’ve fully crossed over to the daaarrrkk side…
and I love it here šŸ–¤

What Boudoir Became For Me

What I didn’t expect…
was how much this would not be about photos. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with so many incredible women. And almost every single one comes in with a story.
A reason.
A why.

Some are celebrating.
Some are healing.
Some are trying to find themselves again.

And somewhere along the way, I realized…

This isn’t just photography.
It’s therapeutic.
It’s emotional.
It’s powerful.

And I fell in love with it more every single time.

What It’s Like to Shoot With Me

If you book a session with me… just know this: We’re going to have fun. I’m probably going to make corny (and slightly inappropriate) jokes.
I’m going to move furniture, chase light, and put you in positions that feel weird at first but look incredible.
I’ll help you into outfits you didn’t think you could pull off. And most of the time?
I’m just winging it — following light, energy, and the moment. By the end of your session…
you’ll likely be standing there, completely comfortable, talking to me like you’re in your everyday clothes.

And that’s my favorite part.
