About Bud and Kim

Bud Thorpe and Kim Buccheri are
full time photographers and educators based in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, USA. They are the brains behind

Kimberly Sarah Photography where they specialize in fine art pet portraiture.

Both Bud and Kim are accomplished photographic educators equally at home in the studio or on location. Bud has been a working artist for over 33 years, and Kim, being a lady, does measure time in decades publicly.

As an educator, Bud has taught hundreds of workshops to thousands of photographers in the art and business of photography. He is a frequent guest speaker at leadership events such as the UNH Leadership Conference.
