Meet the Photographer

Hi, my

name is

Kim Zahnow

I am a photographer and artist located in Saugatuck, Michigan. My passion for photography and art has found a natural home along Michigan's lakeshore. This year marks my 12th year based in Saugatuck.

After earning my degree in photography, I opened my studio and mastered beach photography, using our lakeshore as my primary backdrop for portraits. With over two decades of experience, my portfolio spans portraits, weddings, nature, commercial, concerts, and documenting over 70 coffee farms throughout Africa and Central America. Contact me today to schedule your photography session. I offer both in studio and on location photography services.
