"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 Convention & Visitors Bureau

Working primarily in upstate NY, I am a Professional Freelance Event Photographer, shooting everyone and everything from kittens and weddings, to bikers and rock stars, for nearly two decades, with a comprehensive range of on location, event photography ~ specializing in fast action photography ~ equipped with experience and the talent to capture emotion at the speed of light ~ alternative, unobtrusive approach to portrait, promo, and wedding photography ~ a natural eye for light, scale, composition, and powerful images ~ degrees in Photography and Interior Decorating ~ currently freelancing for the Albany 104.9 Edge radio station, Upstate Live Music Guide, Upstate Metal, signed and unsigned musicians, various publications, as well as photography, marketing, and web decorating for Albany County ~ contact me for portrait, concert, and event pricing.

I find inspiration all around me. My style is to capture what is already there, rather than create something fake or staged. I tend to see the beauty in things, or people, that others my not recognize at first glance. I have a deep passion for music and a love and respect for those who create it. The camera is my instrument...an extension of me. I'm most alive in the photo pit.

I am also available for festivals, fairs, mixers, soirees, galas, balls, proms, newborns, bridal and baby showers, fundraisers, seminars, conferences, reunions, award ceremonies, theatre performances, plays, symphonies, dance recitals, parties - birthday, graduation, engagement, and anniversary, - receptions - wedding, art gallery, and otherwise, - cruises, and any other title your event may have...I photograph events for area businesses and organizations. I have donated my services to several charity events. My photos are used as promotional material for Albany County and various Albany County businesses.

It's not about an expensive camera and fancy equipment - it's not about overcharging to make customers think they'll get what they pay for...it's about talent and passion. You either have it or you don't. I did not become a photographer for any other reason than to capture people, places, and things as I see them...and to bring out their natural beauty. My prices are very fair and I strive to make each picture the best it can be. I learned on film, therefore I learned photography. Anyone can buy a camera and point and shoot, but if it's not a part of their soul, it will show. The same holds true for any type of art.
