Crafting timeless branding photos you’ll use to grow your business

A headshot and branding Photography studio for the Topeka, Holton, and Atchison kansas areas.

ABOUT KIM BEAR

I’m Kim, the photographer behind Still and Wild, and I specialize in creating headshots and branding images that actually look like you. No stiff poses, no awkward “say cheese.” Just authentic, polished photos that make you feel confident every time you share them.

From polished personal headshots to cohesive team branding galleries, I help professionals, businesses, and organizations in Topeka and across Northeast Kansas show up with visuals that feel genuine and professional. My work includes headshots, team photos, product and environment shoots, and full marketing archives designed to give you everything you need for LinkedIn, websites, social media, print, or your next big launch.

Whether you need a quick 10-minute headshot session with light retouching or a full-day team shoot at your office, I bring a simple, flexible approach. I work both in my Holton studio and on-location, traveling with full equipment to make sure your team looks its best without the stress.

Clients tell me they leave sessions not just with great photos, but also with a boost of confidence. One described it this way:
“Kim made me feel like I GENUINELY MATTERED… the candle, the hot tea… she understood my vibe.”

That’s exactly what I want every client to feel—seen, valued, and represented in a way that makes people say, “Yes, that’s exactly who I want to work with.”

If you’re looking for the top headshot photographer in Topeka, I’d love to help you create images that truly reflect who you are and where you’re headed.

    I can’t say enough great things about working with Kim!!! She has a true talent in creating the most magical photos. I was captivated by her uses of different lights, and textures to create a whole mood or scene, almost like you could step into the photos… I knew I had to work with her! Her attention to detail and the way she carefully plans her sessions to then making it all come to life is such a fun experience to be apart of.

    Our marketing had gone stale after years of using iPhone-shot images we took as needed. While searching for photographers that specialized in marketing and branding for businesses I stumbled across Still & Wild on social media. I was immediately drawn to Kim’s style and ability to communicate the feeling of a brand through her photography.

    From the start, Kim was focused, organized, and very knowledgeable. She helped us identify and plan for what our marketing needed to express. As a mental health professional, a simple headshot is not enough. We need people to feel the energy of our therapists; Kim accomplished this in our photoshoot. We now have so many options for communicating the story of our services and brand. From our website, to social media, to marketing flyers we now have a variety of images for each. This was a wonderful and beneficial experience.”
