Client Reviews

“This was my very first headshot session ever. I was really nervous going into it all as I had no idea how to pose, do facial expressions, etc. However, Kim made the entire experience so comfortable and fun, easing any anxiety I had, and overall creating the most supportive and positive atmosphere! And of course, her photos are just stunning. Highly, highly recommend Kim for any type of headshots you're looking to get done!!!”

Moriah Chau

“I've never liked having my photo taken. For some reason, I'd always get anxious—blinking at the wrong time, smiling weirdly, doing all the awkward things you can imagine. But Kim was amazing! She instantly made me feel at ease. I laughed so much during the session, and somehow, we got the perfect shot. If you're working with her, trust the process: read everything she sends you, watch the videos, and practice a little. It really pays off!”

Amanda Vandike

“I finally have a professional headshot! Kim is fantastic. She is so warm and welcoming, it really put me at ease and made the entire process go so smoothly. She really takes time selecting the right clothes, glasses, background, etc. to achieve the look you want. I've never looked so polished! Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

Alise Wallis

“Kim was absolutely fabulous! I wasn't really sure what to expect, but I had the best time getting to meet her and work with her. She made me feel very comfortable in front of the camera (which can be a bit daunting), but we had so much fun posing, chatting, and taking pictures. My headshots look absolutely amazing and she has really aided me as I look to continue marketing myself as a young professional. You will not regret this experience one bit! (Also, make sure to ask and see Winnie and Wesley, her dogs, - they are adorable!)”

Selma Cikaric

“Kim was amazing! She made me feel comfortable in what I was envisioning to be an uncomfortable situation. It wasn't at all! I told her about one of my insecurities with pictures. Due to all of her professional experience with headshots, she was able to angle my head in a way where it wasn't even noticeable. I would 10/10 recommend her to anyone looking to update their headshot!”

April R

“Kim is amazing. She nails it every time. She takes the time and gets better than what you expect. I have never liked photos of just myself, until now. She also did our entire teams headshots, and it was great. Highly recommend her!”

Tonya First

“I had the opportunity to work with Kim for my professional headshots this past November. Given this was going to be my first professional headshot photoshoot, I was quite nervous in the beginning. However, Kim was so warm, kind, and personable. She guided me step by step through the process and took the time to get to know me, understand me, and listen to my professional goals. I am SO HAPPY I worked with Kim, and I absolutely LOVE how my photos turned out. She is amazingly talented. I especially appreciated her taking the time to help me select the final photos at the end of the photoshoot. As someone who tends to be quite camera shy, I left feeling confident and had so much fun!”

Nisha Shabbir

“Kim is an incredibly talented professional who captures stunning photographs. I was a bit nervous about getting professional headshots for the first time, but from the moment I met her, she made me feel completely at ease. Her simple, clear directions and friendly conversation helped bring out a natural smile, making the entire experience enjoyable. I can't recommend KDalton Photography enough!”

J Criswell

“My pictures turned out amazing! Kim creates a very welcoming atmosphere and that allowed me to open up to the camera and appear way more natural than I would have, had I gone to someone else. 10/10 would choose her again.”

Zach Holt

“Very professional and knowledgeable. Hard not to have a great photo as fun and friendly as they are! It definitely gets you smiling. They even made me look good! Ten out of ten.”

“Kim was fantastic to work with! I went to get business headshots and she made the entire process seamless, easy and enjoyable. Her pictures are amazing and I loved that she took the time to go through each one and was very patient with me while we dwindled down to the final ones. I will be going to her again when I need updated shots. Worth every penny.”

Kate Smith

“I chose Kim for headshots after hearing great reviews from others and her service being highly recommended during a city wide seminar. Absolutely ecstatic with both the experience and results. I'll continue to go to Kim in the future and highly recommend her to anyone needing a quality, professional photographer.”

“Kim is professional, courteous, patient, and extremely efficient at what she does! I didn't just get my pictures taken. I got a wonderful experience with a cool human, who used a plethora of angles, lighting, and color to capture me at my best. Big props! Reach out to her if you're in need of excellent headshots.”

Maddie Myers

“I was recently promoted to a director-level position at my company, and I needed a headshot upgrade for my LinkedIn and other professional uses. I had such a fantastic experience with Kim! Her studio is beautiful, and I loved that I was able to see my photos in real time on her computer screen so I could adjust my outfit, my hair, or my facial expressions accordingly. Kim put me at ease immediately, made me laugh, and had such a talent for giving small directions to get natural and flattering shots. She honestly made it so easy. Since I've updated my LinkedIn photo and my profile photo at work, I've received numerous compliments. Having such a high quality headshot that makes me feel good about myself has given me such a confidence boost in my professional life. Highly recommend Kim; she is so talented!”

Michelle von Hirschberg

“I had an amazing experience. Totally seasoned professional. 1000 % satisfied.”

Monique Gladden

“Kim was amazing! I needed professional headshots on short notice and they really exceeded my expectations. Her studio is so inviting and it was really easy to talk with her. She gave great directions and let me do as many outfits as I changes as I wanted. I also loved how we would pause after a few photos to see how they turned out and we played with different background colors and lighting. I feel like she captured my personality so well. Thank you Kim for the wonderful photos!!”

Laura Acierno

“An absolute professional, with an incredible eye for photography..”

Jenni Kappel

“Kim is the best! I worked in LA as an actress for over a decade and my new headshots are even better than the ones I took out west and a much better deal. Thanks, Kim!”

Karrie Kirchgessner

“Oh my gosh, Kim is absolutely phenomenal. As an actor from NYC, I have worked with a lot of photographers, and Kim is the best of the best. Best headshots I have EVER taken. Period. She made me feel so comfortable and confident. It was seamless: getting to see the images in real-time as we shot, and then her expert eye helped me choose the images that would get me booked! I am so glad to have found Kim! I will 100% be going back!”

Caralyn Collar

“One of the sweetest and most down to earth individuals I've met since being in Cincinnati. I felt excited and comfortable the entire time we collaborated. Kim helped me get stunning results for my acting headshots! Worth every penny.”

Torian

“I had an amazing experience. It's been a while since I had headshots done, and I saw other people who are represented by my agency had their photos shot with Kim. She makes you feel at home, and gets to know you. You don't feel rushed, and Kim makes sure you are happy with your images after each of the shots. I will return again, and make sure it doesn't take me several years to get new photos. If you're going into acting/modeling, have a business, or just need new photos do it now. It's worth it! Thank you!”

Tandy Burnam

“ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND! Our daughter needed headshots this summer to submit with her college applications to acting programs. From our first contact to the delivery of our images, Kim was professional, informative and responsive. We also leveraged Kim's makeup expert at the start of the session and it was definitely worth it. Kim set us all at ease during the session and our teenager LOVED it. We're so grateful we found KDalton Photography - the images were amazing, the process was smooth (and fun!) and we are beyond impressed with her expertise. We'll definitely be back for updated headshots in the future! Thank you Kim!”

Kirstin Coleson

“I needed new headshots, and Kim Dalton was on a short list recommended by my agents... and now I recommend her to you without reservation. I've never had a better experience with a photographer--she's prompt, personable, professional, fun to work with and very, very skilled. If I don't get cast it won't be her fault-- the pictures she took show me at my best. Whatever your reasons for getting your pictures done, you'll be happy with the results if you choose her.”

Mike Friedman

“Kim was a wonderful and professional photographer. I was pleased with her artistic approach and my acting coach applauded her work upon reviewing my headshots. She was kind enough to rework some of the touch-ups for optimization of my headshots and help ensure they convey me accurately whenever I audition for roles. After all, a headshot is meant to be a "living photograph" and Kim definitely delivered. I look forward to future studio sessions!”

Mark Weber

“Kim was impeccable from our very first conversation! Listening to our every need to get headshot updates that reflect Coast to Coast markets of commercial & film felt like her top priority. We were highly impressed with her process of seeing the photos throughout the session on her in-studio monitor. It was super convenient and mainstreamed the process before moving onto the next look. My son connected so well with Kim's positive personality and loved how she kept it fun with music and conversation. Both of us look forward to creating another session with Kim and Lissette (HMUA)! Absolutely loved the results!”

Stacae Caldwell

“Kim is amazing! She shot headshots for all 14 of my students and they had a wonderful time. She puts you at ease as soon as you walk through the door. She is professional, kind and a master in her craft. Cannot wait to shoot with her again!”

Oluchi Nwokocha

“I've never had a photography experience like I've had with Kim. So patient. So professional. For me, headshots have always been stressful and frankly, not very fun. Kim put me in the driver's seat where I could say what I liked, what I needed and if I wanted anything else. I booked 2 gigs within a week of getting my new headshots! I'll definitely be back within the year because her work makes me look great and feel confident.”

Blair

“Some things are "Way Better Than The Price of Admission" and KDalton Photography is a great example. Kim does an amazing job and her professionalism is top notch. The happiness around the office after our team visited was electric. The update to our website and all our correspondence with supporters.... Priceless!!”

James Getgey

“We had a great experience with Kim for our company's headshots. She took care of all the details from start to finish, and most importantly, we are extremely pleased with our photos. We highly recommend KDalton Photography!”

Claire Estill

“We've been using Kim for years. She is amazing and makes the whole process easy.”

Spencer Ford

“Kim is an amazing photographer. She came and shot headshots for our entire team during one of our meetings. They are a bundle of joy and always having a great time, which helps the person they are shooting relax and take truly amazing photos. Highly recommend her service for any occasion.”

Jennifer Adkins

“Kim was very professional and made the experience an enjoyable session. She took the time to make sure not only our team photo but also individual portraits turned out great. I highly recommend her.”

Yvonne Beall

“Kim did an AMAZING job with my headshots. I see why our company chooses to use her. She made me feel comfortable the entire time, she has tips on how to look your best, and she let me see the images after. Incredibly fast turn around! You won't be disappointed if you use her.”

Jessica Lund

“Kim made all of my employees feel comfortable, and they love their new professional headshots! They are high quality, and her turnaround time was impressive.”

Becca Greene

“Kim took headshot photos for our company and they came out unbelievable. I knew Kim would do a great job, but she far exceeded our expectations. The whole entire process was smooth and easy, and she took care of everything. We will definitely be using Kim again in the future for photos and I highly recommend her service.”

Ari Elizabeth

“Our whole team enjoyed working with Kim. Taking photos can be an awkward experience, but she put everyone at ease and made it fun. The pictures came out fantastic!”

Bob Roberts

“Kim and Connie came into our offices and everyone was "wowed" by their photo results! They were professional, fun, and fast. Thanks for the truly wonderful experience!”

Diane Catanzaro

“Kim is INCREDIBLE! She truly captured the specific looks I was going for with my new headshots. She made the entire process so fun and easy. I have never experienced walking out of a headshot session having a photographer help me choose my final selections. I am always used to seeing 500 photos and being full of anxiety choosing. She is so talented and a gem to our industry. Highly recommend Kim!”

Jaime Price Morphy

“I had the BEST experience with KDalton Photography! From the moment I walked in, Kim made me feel so comfortable. She sat me down, asked thoughtful questions, and really got to know me before we even started. That personal touch set the tone for the whole session. She kept the vibe fun and energetic (the early 2010s R&B playlist was perfect!) while still guiding me through poses and helping me find my best angles. Kim has an amazing ability to know when to lighten the mood with a laugh and when to help you focus in. I've always been self-conscious about certain features on camera, but she worked around them seamlessly to make sure I looked my absolute best. After the shoot, she even sat with me to go through the photos and helped narrow down the best 2-3 shots, which she delivered within the same day. Incredible turnaround! The results honestly blew me away. The photos are so clean and professional that people at work have been giving me constant compliments. A few even said they looked AI generated, but if AI ever gets this good it will be because it secretly trained on Kim's portfolio. If you're in Cincinnati and need photos that are professional, polished, and truly bring out your personality, I can't recommend KDalton Photography enough!”

Dailen Cowden

“Kim is the best in the business! She does absolutely beautiful work, while making the experience fun, and giving you confidence. I drove 5 hours to have her do my headshot, and I would do it again in the heartbeat!”

Lauren Daugherty

“Kim Dalton is so good. I am THRILLED! This is my third session with her. She is so relaxed and confident. She loves what she does and it shows! Always a GREAT EXPERIENCE. She gets you in quickly when youre in a pinch and listens to what you want then adds her skill and ideas to make the light and background better than you thought possible. You will be really happy.”

Denise Dal Vera

“I am a returning customer and coming back to see Kim to update my headshots was just like meeting up with old friend you haven't seen in a while. The whole process was laid back, comfortable and collaborative which was great. I was very satisfied with the pics we chose together and the turnaround time to receive my headshots was super quick! Thanks so much Kim! You are the best!”
