WHAT I DO

Motus Photography & Design is a creative studio led by Kimberly Kaufman, based in Putney, Vermont. At Motus, we specialize in blending art, design, and storytelling to create compelling visual and written content.

DESIGN: My design philosophy centers around clean, minimalist aesthetics that focus on the power of typography and thoughtful color palettes. Whether for a brand identity, marketing materials, or website design, my goal is to create timeless, visually appealing designs that communicate your message clearly and effectively.

PHOTOGRAPHY: With a passion for capturing the raw emotion and authenticity of each moment, my photography style is rooted in candid shots that tell a story. I focus on documenting real-life moments — whether it's a fleeting glance or a quiet expression — to create images that are not only beautiful but deeply meaningful.

ART: Having spent years in the art licensing industry, I’ve cultivated a strong connection to creating work that resonates on a personal level. While I’ve recently stepped back from producing licensed art, I am always open to new creative opportunities.

COPYWRITING: Writing is a deeply personal craft for me, and I love weaving words that connect with people on an emotional level. From brand messaging to storytelling, I bring a creative touch to copy that captures the essence of what you want to say.

My work

I’ve had the privilege of working with a range of clients, from beloved local businesses to renowned global brands, including Kellogg’s, Ben & Jerry’s, Procter & Gamble, Salt & Lime, The Mountain, Samson Manufacturing, and many more.

With a diverse portfolio that spans industries such as consumer goods, lifestyle, outdoor gear, food & beverage, and beyond, I bring tailored creative solutions to every project. Whether working on large-scale corporate campaigns or supporting small businesses with personalized design and photography, my goal is always the same: to craft visually compelling and strategically effective work that resonates with the target audience.

From concept to completion, my experience allows me to navigate the unique needs of both small businesses and multinational corporations, ensuring each brand’s vision is brought to life with attention to detail and a passion for storytelling.
