Hello friends! Today we are thrilled to talk with one of our new members, award-winning photographer Kimberly Brundage. A longtime friend, Kim and I met in Richmond, VA shortly after I moved there in 2014. It was a women’s group that connected us, but it’s our passion for the arts and creativity that has kept our friendship growing over the years.

I’m Hope Katz Gibbs, founder of Inkandescent where we never cease to be amazing by the work of the professionals, we have the privilege of working with.

We’ll get into some of the big life changes Kim has made since the pandemic, all of which are fascinating and awe-inspiring.

First, let me share that Kim’s passion is as a personal branding photographer. At her famous monthly Headshot Parties, Kim creates powerful  portraits that brand corporate and entrepreneurial women — and men —  in a fashion that brings out that internal sparkle we all want the world to see. In 2018, she launched a video and photo series entitled, IdentityRVA!

Kim has also filled galleries with her art, including the Crossroads Art Center where bold, beautiful portraits of 11 women — along with inspiring videos of each (filmed and produced by the Richmond firm Memories Videography) were featured. While helping women look amazing in their pics, Kim is also a champion of young girls about body image and what makes them beautiful from the inside out.

And that’s just a bit about this truly amazing woman that you’ll learn today! Welcome Kim!

On today’s episode, we’ll talk to Kim about:

  • What drew you to become a photographer?
  • This wasn’t your first career. What did you do before this?
  • Tell us about your work with young girls and women — how do you help them sparkle?
  • Richmond, VA was home for a long while – but the new big story is what you have been doing since 2020!
  • Tell us about your experiences on the road! What has been the best place you’ve visited and why?
  • What has happened that you weren’t expecting, and how did you handle it?
  • What advice do you have for others who want to go on a similar adventure?
  • What’s next for photographer and artist Kim Brundage?

Thank you, Kim, for a great interview! We are so happy to be featuring you on InkandescentRadio.com and Inkandescent.tv and can’t wait to see where your travels will take you. We’ll talk with you all again soon!

November 6, 2024: A Note from Cynthia de Lorenzi, founder of the international women’s networking group Success in the City, and Hope Katz Gibbs, founder of Inkandescent® PR & Publishing Co., and producer of the Truly Amazing Women show

Dearest friends — We welcome you to a new series in our Truly Amazing Women show. It is born from conversations that we had with dozens of our friends following the results of the November 2024 election. Understandably, many women are feeling deeply unsettled, anxious, or fearful. The planned changes carry significant implications. So we are expanding Cynthia’s Success in the City project and launching a group to bring all of us together in a caring community — Empowered Together

Our goal: We are creating a safe space to bring together Calm, Connected, Compassionate, Changemakers. We believe these are the new 4Cs of millions of beautiful diamonds we will send out to sparkle, shine, and keep peace in the world.

To start us off, we hosted our first Zoom Mastermind meeting on Saturday, Nov. 16. These will be held monthly, and each session will be a safe space for reflection, solidarity, and empowerment. The forum will be open to sharing concerns that we plan to channel into meaningful action, personal growth, and positive change for their communities.

Have questions? Connect with Hope and Cynthia. We want to hear what you are thinking, feeling, and dreaming about the future.
