Red Deer’s Lifestyle, Brand & Event Photographer

Photos that help your business grow & capture your genuine moments.

And Beyond

Lifestyle Photography tells your story.

Lifestyle photography isn’t just about pretty pictures, it’s about showing the real, human side of what you do. Whether you’re a business owner, brand builder, or event planner, you know that connection is everything. People want to see more than a product or service…they want to see the story behind it.

That’s where lifestyle photography comes in. It captures the genuine moments, the behind-the-scenes, the laughter, the movement, the energy, all the things that make your brand or event feel real. It shows your audience not just what you do, but who you are and why you care. That’s what sticks.

Whether you’re creating content for your website, social media, or a brand campaign, lifestyle images help you build trust, show personality, and stand out in a sea of sameness. It’s not about being perfect — it’s about being real.

Let your photos tell the story, and let that story work for you!

The Snaphappy Photographer

Kim Mortimer

SnapHappy; /ˈsnæpˌhæp.i/

used to describe someone who takes a lot of photographs

I’m Kim, a Red Deer based lifestyle photographer serving Central Alberta. I specialize in branding and event photography that captures personality, connection, and real moments…not stiff, awkward poses.

I view lifestyle photography as an art form, not just a process. My passion is capturing the beauty in what’s often considered “ordinary.” From documenting your team’s daily routine to showcasing the vibe of your workspace or behind-the-scenes magic, I create images that are genuine, relatable, and rich in story.

The truth is, “normal” is absolutely perfect.

I keep things authentic by working with natural light, relaxed environments, and a no-pressure approach. The result? Effortless, real, and scroll-stopping images that stand out.

Let’s chat and discover how to showcase what makes your business or event unique because, life (and branding) is better when it’s unfiltered!

If a picture is worth a thousand words... Kim successfully told a story of a 20 year relationship and a 16 year marriage with my wife, my best friend-- with our photo session. Some of my all-time favorite pics of us are from it. It was genuinely Jenna and I---we had a blast, and Kim does her job effortlessly, with passion, and with pride. She fully enjoyed it as much as we did. Always a smile on her face and ideas coming out of nowhere with a particular shot she can take, in a certain spot. I've got the digital album she gave us opened up on my computer--- and often look at it. I wholeheartedly recommend Kim for any photo session. Thanks so much Kim. Look forward to a future session!

Audra

Kim was an amazing live-action photographer at our Pioneer Days event in 2023. She has a gift for capturing people at their finest moments. I've been trying to get a picture of the ladies in the concession for years and they always hide when I come up with a camera, but Kim comes along and has them posing and smiling! She's so good with people, and she gave us some images of our visitors and volunteers that I'll be using for years to come.
