"Kim Stock has been 'chasing the light' around the capital region since she was 19 and her experience shows. Kim worked with us to create an affordable package featuring fresh images that really helped to bring out our city’s unique character. We are truly thrilled with the images she shot and especially impressed by her attention to detail and her great sense for capturing just the right moments. The creative modifications that Kim made to a few of our images afterwards were incredible. Thank you Kim for helping us illuminate all there is in Albany!" ~ Elizabeth Hosford, Albany County CVB
