About Us

Hi, I’m Kim Ebbets, the photographer behind Photos by Kim E.

I specialize in creating vibrant, authentic, and storytelling photography sessions for families and businesses in San Jose and beyond. My goal is simple: capture real moments filled with fun, connection, and personality.

💼 Business Photography
For businesses, I offer more than just headshots. My personalized sessions highlight the people and stories behind the brand through lifestyle images, environmental portraits, and content tailored for websites, social media, and marketing materials. I love helping entrepreneurs and teams showcase what makes them unique so they can connect authentically with their audience.

👨‍👩‍👧 Family Photography
My family sessions are all about documenting genuine connections. Think laughter, play, and those little in-between moments you’ll want to remember years from now. Whether it’s a cozy day at home, a hike through the hills, or a day at the Boardwalk, I create space for your family to relax and be yourselves while I capture the magic.

What ties everything together is my love for storytelling. Photography isn’t just about how a moment looks—it’s about how it feels. From documenting the laughter of families to capturing the passion of business owners, I create imagery that preserves memories and helps stories shine.

📸 I’d love to connect and help you tell your story—whether it’s your family’s love or your business’s personality.

Read more "Kathy did an online zoom session with me where she helped lead me into a meditation and awareness with my body for healing. It was a powerful session where I felt more connected with my body but also with where pain was being stored and how to release it. She's intuitive and calming with her sessions and looking forward to working more with her in the future for more healing! "
