Hello, and welcome to the first day of the rest of my life!
I am captivated by the beauty of this planet and I am passionate about exploring it and documenting what I see through photography. I fell in love with traveling at an early age, and have been a nomad traveling with work my entire adulthood.
I met a man. He encouraged me to follow my dream and he became just as invested as I did with photography. He is the reason I can pursue this endeavor with passion and fervor.
My lifelong dream is to travel the world and take photos. I am on the verge of retiring from my full-time position as an industrial construction safety manager, with hopes of making my dream a reality. I hope to share the lessons I have learned along the journey as well as the images taken along the way. I will recommend places to visit, things to try, and share my experiences with you as I go. I have not been everywhere, but I am soon to visit! I hope this blog will inspire you to travel (even to some of those local places you may have overlooked) and inspire you to take photos with passion! This is the very first step in my journey.
WHO am I?
Since I was a child, I loved to travel; thanks to my dad and our military lifestyle; I was able to visit several countries and all fifty states in the US (I have the spoon collection to prove it). I grew up, and fell in love with photography, took some classes, practiced A LOT, and voila; a new hobby was born, that morphed into a passion, that created a new obsession about photography. The travel bug met the photography obsession, and a new lifestyle was born. Most importantly, I love to put emotion behind the camera and capture that in the photos I take rather than just point and shoot.
I am Kimberly Steele. Nomad. Photographer. People Person.
I am daughter, taught to love life on the road by a well decorated army hero and a mother that showed me how to roll with it!
I am sister, to a brother I did not truly appreciate until we became friends after we grew-up!
I am mom, to two of the most fiercely independent women I know, and proud of the life they have forged for themselves.
I am wife, to the most wonderful man on the planet (Matthew Steele)… that supports this endeavor with his whole heart. He is the yin to my yang.
I am grandma, who spoils and loves with everything I am.
I am photographer, throwing my emotion into every captured moment.
I am still a full-time employee… that is ready to transition and retire. I will begin this journey and see where it takes me!
I am not creating a new product, I am going on adventures and documenting it by taking photos that I hope you will love! I hope to throw a new twist on how you see the small things! I look forward to sharing all the tips, tricks, and failures on each adventure!
Take a breath, slow down, enjoy those sunsets! I hope you enjoy my blog. If you have any questions or comments, please contact me (828) 361-886.
Day one. This is just the beginning. I hope you tag along as I learn to blog and share the things I love most in this world! Please stay tuned!
