Bio

An Oregon native, Kim Campbell is a wife, mother and widely-respected photographer who delights in finding beauty in nature, people, and life’s special moments.

Campbell’s interest in photography began while a student at the University of Oregon. Having always been a visual person, Campbell found she loved the way photographs allowed her to create images that evoked emotion.

Campbell began photographing for Campbell Salgado Studio in 1997, catering to both expectant and growing families. In the years since, she has designed many of the product lines and ventures with which the studio is involved. With Campbell at the helm, Campbell Salgado Studio has been dubbed “Best Mom ‘n’ Pop Photographers” by Willamette Week and was named “Audience Choice” winner in the Best of Citysearch awards. Additionally, Campbell’s award-winning photography has been featured in both Popular Photography and American Photo magazines. She’s participated in the acclaimed portfolio review Photo Lucida in 2013 and 2015.

Outside of the studio, Campbell’s intuitive networking and business skills lead her to become a founding member of MotherSource.org. MotherSource.org is a local group of mother-owned businesses, linked professionally by a common thread of services centering around holistic family well-being. She conceived and created an innovative video blog called LifeHack INC that is a creative showcase for how she and her husband, Francisco Salgado, think outside the box.

Campbell holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy from the University of Oregon, and a Master’s degree in Art Therapy from Marylhurst University.
