Hi there!

I'm Kit~

I am the founder, lead photographer, and editor of Shutter Magic Creative Studio. I went to Western Washington University, graduating with degrees in both music and English. From there, I moved to Seattle and found myself working in the corporate business world, which wasn't for me. On a whim, I moved down to LA and began immediately working on shows such as The Great Food Truck Race and Leah Remini's Scientology and the Aftermath as a production, audio, and camera assistant.

I was born and raised in Washington, however, so when the opportunity to do a shoot up here became available, I snagged it. Little did I know that it would result in my leaving the hustle and bustle of LA for the taste of the mountains, mist, and ultimately, home. Now I'm breaking back out, ready to capture your most precious moments in 4K.

My wife (and camera assistant) was previously a certified Behavioral Therapist for Autistic and disabled children and is always present on shoots with me. Our aim is to provide these services to those who are severely underserved and disquieted with the current climate. We absolutely welcome (and encourage) LGBTQ and Disabled individuals, so please do not let that be a deterrent for getting your precious memories captured!

I am a non-binary, trans-masculine person and will always don a traditional kilt to your formal events. Please ask me anything about my Scottish Heritage OR D&D.

We will get along great! Hope to hear from you soon!

Hey, I'm Britney!

I'm Kit's wife and photography assistant. Born and raised in Washington state, I've bounced between a few different jobs in my life. The longest, and one I was most passionate about, was as a behavioral therapist for kiddos on the autism spectrum. Helping them learn to communicate their needs and advocate for themselves was extremely important to me, so I hope to be able to bring that same level of respect and understanding for everyone's needs into our photography space.

I had to leave that line of work after getting an autoimmune diagnosis, as the need to shift to a line of work that was a little easier on my body couldn't be ignored. However, between my previous work, my own lifelong health issues, having multiple relatives with ASD, and being part of the LGBTQ+ community, I have gained the perspective and abilities needed empathize with the struggles of others. My hope is that I can use that experience to help your unique family get the perfect photos they deserve of their special moments and special people.

If you happen to be booking our sound equipment as well as our photography, you will also see me working as your sound tech and DJ. I'll make sure everyone can hear your vows, music, and embarrassing speeches from your family members.

I am a disabled, cisgender, bisexual woman who tries to color coordinate my dresses to match my spouse's kilts. Feel free to ask me anything about my experience working with kids, OR my latest knitting/crochet project.

Looking forward to helping you capture all the people and moments closest to your heart!
