The Story

Raw, real, and deeply alive.

Kimberley Kufaas is First Nations from Fort Rupert, Kwakiutl territory on northern Vancouver Island, with Métis and Scandinavian roots. Vancouver Island has been her home her entire life. It's part of who she is. She embraces everything it throws her way, even the wild, stormy days that roll in without warning on a wedding morning. Her work reflects the beauty and ruggedness of this coast: raw, real and deeply alive.

She has been capturing stories of life and love for over a decade, specializing in lifestyle and adventure photography.

If you're into having the wind blow your hair around, the salt air mist your face, the bottom of your dress get a little muddy and running barefoot through the sand, you're her kind of people. She'd love to document your adventure.
