Kimberly Manning

Kimberly is a Sixth Generation Texan currently living in Orange Texas. She grew up in the Central Texas area living mostly in the Cowboy Capital of the World = Stephenville Tx. The western and rural lifestyles she encountered daily greatly influenced her in life, music and art. She performed traditional country music for many years with Heart of Texas Records and won two Will Rogers Awards from the Academy of Western Artists. She slowly moved away from performing and started focusing on a different role in the music industry: photographing musicians for publicity, artwork and documentary purposes.

Kimberly enjoys creating powerful, strong, captivating images that lead the viewer through a story. She has had photos on the cover of Country Music People Magazine, “Kountry Korral” (Sweden) and won awards and mentions from Cowboys and Indians Magazine, The State Fair of Texas, The South Texas State Fair and Ranch and Rural Living Magazine. She has been the “behind-the-scenes photographer” on set of a musical variety show on RFD-TV/ The Cowboy Channel.

She has taken her knowledge of promotion from the music business and paired it with her ability to create dramatic portraits to produce quality headshots and personal branding for corporate leaders, businesses, politicians and people of all professions.

She enjoys a life of creating art with her supportive and loving husband, Bob, who is a huge force in her creative process. They share their home with two Australian Shepherds, Conway and Loretta.

She is proud to serve as an ambassador for the Greater Orange Area Chamber of Commerce, member of the Vidor Chamber of Commerce, Bridge City Chamber of Commerce and the Professional Photographers of America. Kimberly also serves on the board of directors for the Heritage House Museum of Orange County and enjoys working closely with the Heart of Texas Country Music Museum in Brady Texas.
