When she isn’t working, Kimberly loves to revel in the simple pleasures of life like exploring Atlanta for the best brunch, burger, and donut spots with her family.
I first met Kim Murray at Click Away Amelia, she was teaching an amazing flatlay class. As soon as I saw this breakout, I knew it would not disappoint! Kim has packed so much value into her pdf and videos!!! Watching her walk through her process is extremely helpful. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in product, food, or flatlay photography!
Thankful for Kimberly’s calm approach to teaching and the in-depth videos. The start to finish behind the scenes of styling the candle image was my personal favorite. So fun to be a fly on the wall while you work! Thank you for sharing so much of your pre-planning and decision making process. Loved the course!
I have really enjoyed this class! So much great information, incredibly helpful and inspiring. An excellent investment for anyone looking to expand their food, product and flat lay photography skills!
I haven’t had time to make it through the whole class but love all the great information I’ve read so far. Can’t wait to finish it next week when the kids are back in school.
I’ve been a fan of Kimberly’s work and I was so excited for this class. If you’re interested in product photography, this is a great place to start. Kimberly has shared so much information in both the pdf and the videos. I highly recommend this breakout!
Kim is a DELIGHTFUL educator. This class is concise, and PACKED with valuable info and tons of examples of . This is a screamin’ deal! Highly recommend.

I have gained so many great tips and tricks that I know I will be implementing on future shoots. If you are looking to get into product photography, highly recommend this course.
Hello! The first time I came across Kimberly was in the Food Photography Summit. I had loved her session but for some reason never really followed through. When I recently learnt about this information packed course that she had to offer at such an economical price, I rushed to her profile and instantly fell in love with her images. The color blocking, usage of bright and happy colors like yellow, teal, red and so many more. Her feed felt like a happy sunny day and I knew I want to learn from the best of Still Life Photography. I instantly signed up and have not been happier. The videos and PDFs available for download makes it a lifetime access to the course. I am so so so glad to have invested in this and be a part of the community here. Thank you so much :)
I always love hearing how people found me. It’s so good to have you in the course, Shreyaa!
Kimberly’s breakout is jam packed with so much information – the PDF and videos have so much information and insightful examples. Lots of tips and tricks to get you started on your food and product photography journey!
Kimberly gives examples of: a bright and colorful setup, a dark and moody setup and a patterned one (mini Oreos anyone?) that was in-between so regardless of your style/voice, you’ll be able to see how/why she makes her styling choices and apply it to your own work. She also showed video of behind-the-scenes so you can see how she changes the layout to create the different looks.
She was extremely generous to offer feedback on people’s work and although I didn’t get anything in on time, she reminded us via email to go check out her suggestions to others and I DEF will!
Well worth the price…great breakout!
Kimberly has filled this course with so much information. I love it!
Thankful for Kimberly’s calm approach to teaching and how in-depth she went in each video. The start to finish styling of the candle image was my personal favorite.

I’ve admired Kimberly’s work for a long time and jumped at the chance to take this class! I love how she walks you through several styling sessions – it’s like being in the room when she’s setting up a scene. You get to see the process from start to finish. I also was so appreciative of the feedback I received from one of my photos. I plan to re-create the scene using Kimberly’s suggestions. Oh – and The accompanying PDF is amazing – that alone is worth the price of admission! LOL! This class is a steal at $25.00. Sign up now!
I have loved this course. The eBook a lone was well worth it but I would have 100% paid more. I am a beginner in the world of photography and I felt like this course was easy to follow and understand with my limited knowledge.
I love that you would have gladly paid more for the course, Jaimie! It warms my heart that it was accessible to you as a beginner and that you appreciate the info I packed into the eBook.
A great introduction for the beginner and a refresher for the more advanced photographer. I enjoyed this breakout! I haven’t touched food photography for awhile and this inspired me to focus on it once again.
Yes…there is something in there for everyone. I’m glad you enjoyed my breakout, Lillian! So happy to hear that you are feeling re-inspired about food photography.
I am so happy that I took this course! I’ve been a fan of Kimberly’s work for quite some time. When I saw that she was teaching this course, I knew that I had to take it.

If you want to take your product and food photography to the next level, I highly recommend this course.
Thanks so much, Tina, for following my work and journey! I’m glad that you enjoyed the course and will be returning to the materials often.
I don’t think I have ever signed up for a c lass the first time I saw it, but Kimberley’s images were so striking. I am so glad I dove in. I have been very curious and have tentatively dabbled in flat lays. This is my 3rd time doing an online workshop on the topic and this was by far my favorite. I love Kimberley’s style, use of color and composition. Seeing her style an image in real time was so helpful. There was so much information that if I gave all the aspects I found helpful, then I’d be describing every element in the course. So detailed and clear and accessible for this newbie. The discussions were so helpful to read through and her feedback to questions so generous. Thank you! Can’t wait to play with this new inspiration and knowledge.
That’s so awesome to hear that my course was your favorite online workshop on this topic so far, Monika! I’m so glad that you enjoyed every aspect of the course. I’m especially happy to hear that it was accessible to those who may be newer to the field. I seek to demystify this topic whenever I teach.
I love the idea of storytelling through a flatlay or still life. Kimberly shares great tips on how to compose to tell just the right story using props and layouts. Great class!
Thanks, Teresa! I love how a story can draw people in.
I’m super inspired by Kimberly’s work, and found it so interesting walking through her processes. Thank you for sharing your wisdom – this course will be valuable to many : )

This breakout was FANTASTIC!! There is something for everyone. I had some previous knowledge about food photography going in and I still took away so much information that was incredibly valuable. Kimberly is an excellent teacher and is so skilled at sharing her process in detail. This course is a must for anyone who wants to get into this genre of photography. Thanks so much Kimberly!!!

I love to hear that you will be returning to the materials over and over again, Alex! It is nice to be able to get a refresher when you need it.

Whizzed through this course yesterday morning and feeling really inspired by Kimberly and her images! I’ve jotted down lots of notes and I can’t wait to put it all into practice. I would recommend this course to anyone who’s just starting out with food & product photography or just needs a refresh. A great investment too!
Yay for inspiration, Beth! I’m glad that you had your pen and paper (or smartphone notes app) ready to take notes about key takeaways. I’m glad you enjoyed the course!
This course is truly amazing. Gained so much information and love the joy Kimberly is spreading so generously – even in her pictures. Thank you Kimberly for creating this course!
It warms my heart that you felt the joy that I feel when teaching, Katharina! I’m glad you took away so much information from the course.
I am so happy I stumbled upon Kimberly’s Food and Product Photography workshop – and what a bargain at $25. I loved the videos showing how she sets up a shoot. Styling in an area that I struggle with and watching her “do” was super helpful. Definitely helped build my confidence. Thank You!!
I’m so glad my course helped to build your confidence, Denise! Thanks for sharing your experience.
That’s just what I hope to hear, Luis! I’m glad that you felt that the course had actionable information. I love how the participants helped to expand the course content with their questions.
I’ve been following Kimberly’s work for awhile now and as soon as I saw there’s this breakout, I signed up in a hot minute! This workshop is jam packed with information and I can’t believe what I got for $25! The pdf pages are gorgeous and super informative. I especially love the videos with case study in the pdf. Kimberly is so thorough with her answers and feedback. I learned so much and I hope one day this will be a 4-week course in Clickphoto school. This breakout is perfect for anyone in any level of photography.
Wow, Sheryl! That’s amazing that you didn’t hesitate to sign up for the breakout based on what you knew of my work. I’m so happy to hear that the course did not disappoint and that you’d be open to participating in an even longer course in the future. Thanks for the positive feedback about the course materials and discussion.
The course is put together so well with multiple case studies to take you behind the scenes and the thought process that goes into creating these scenes/pics. The pdf doc supplements the course videos well. Definitely downloading the videos and revisiting them again. Can’t wait to incorporate my takeaways from the course into my pics!
I’m so happy to hear that you liked the way the course was organized and are looking forward to applying what you learned in the course to your future projects, Madhumitha!
I enjoyed Kimberly’s class. The PDF is packed with lots of useful information and I definitely picked up a few tricks.
In her videos, she walks you through how she approached different sessions she did for clients and her thought process.
She is very involved in the chat and answers questions very thoroughly.
A great breakout to get started in food and product photography.
Thank you Kimberly!
I’m so glad that you enjoyed the class and picked up some new tricks, Nella. You’re welcome…and thanks for joining me in the breakout!
I’ve just started this course, and I’m so excited to learn more! I am trying to transition from portraiture to food and product photography within my business and I can’t wait to learn as much as I can about this exciting and beautiful form of photography.
I’m so glad you are excited about the course, Mariah!
