Kate Buckles
Owner and Lead Photographer

Hey there, I’m Kate!

I’m a Midwestern girl who fell in love with people, storytelling, and photography. Though New Mexico isn’t where I started, it’s definitely where my heart has found a home. When I’m not running in the bosque or keeping up with my three boys, you’ll find me behind the camera, capturing life’s most meaningful moments. I’m so honored that you’re considering trusting me with yours.

My love for photography truly deepened when I became a mom. I wanted to bottle up every little milestone and memory with my babies — and quickly realized that so many mamas feel the same. (Here’s to all of us with phones bursting at the seams from 1,000s of photos we just can’t delete!) These fleeting seasons deserve to be cherished and remembered.

Over the past decade, my business has grown like crazy — and I now lead an incredible team of photographers who share the same heart, passion, and style that I do. Every associate is personally trained by me, and I’m so proud to say they are among the very best. Whether you’re working with me or one of my team members, you’ll always get the same amazing experience, care, and beautiful images.

As your photographers,  it is our goal is to capture it all — the laughter, the quiet moments, the joyful chaos, and even the tears. More than anything, we want you to feel comfortable, celebrated, and to have fun along the way.

Thank you for allowing us the privilege of telling your story through my lens.

With love,
Kate

Sarah Smothermon
Associate Photographer for KB Photo

Hey there, I’m Sarah!

I’ve called New Mexico home for most of my life, though I was born in Georgia and will always be a southern girl at heart. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll usually find me chasing after my three energetic kiddos, sneaking in a good workout, teaching, or savoring a coffee at my favorite local spot.

Photography has been such a gift to me — it lets me capture life’s most beautiful moments for others while also feeding my creative spirit. There’s nothing like freezing those little details and memories that you’ll want to hold onto forever.

I can’t wait to meet you, laugh with you, and create images you’ll treasure for years to come.

With love,
Sarah

Adriana Sedillo
Associate Photographer for KB Photo

Hi, I’m Adriana!

I’ve lived in New Mexico most of my life, with a few adventures in Phoenix and Colorado along the way. I graduated from UNM with a BFA — even spending a summer in Italy studying art — and feel so grateful that I’ve been able to turn my passion for photography into a full-time career. One of the biggest joys of this work is that it also gives me precious time with my little one.

As your photographer, my heart is to get to know you — not just through my lens, but through the experience we share together. I want to capture the true essence of you and your family, in a way that feels natural, joyful, and stress-free. I know photos can sometimes feel intimidating, but it’s my honor to make the process easy, comfortable, and fun.

I can’t wait to help you create beautiful memories you’ll always treasure.

With love,
Adriana
