Hi, I'm Kiara!

Photography has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. My Mom always had a camera attached to her hands, which eventually led her to start working in a photo studio, then the local newspaper. After being around photography for so long, I thought  - why not give this a shot?


During school, I took digital photography and yearbook, during which I found my true passion: sports photography. While shooting my friends and classmates from the sidelines, I realized that people would look back at those photos for years to come, and just the thought of that was so rewarding.


In my 20s I would would eventually venture out into portrait and wedding photography, shoot the local high school sports for the news paper, and became a lacrosse team photographer for a few years. Little did I know, all of this would eventually lead me to getting my dream job with the Walt Disney Company as a Photographer for Run Disney and ESPN Wide World of Sports.


Throughout the years KKP has grown beyond my wildest expectations. We've been out of the state for weddings, made so many memories, and met so many new friends along the way. I can't wait to see where this adventure will take me next!

Meet Your Second Shooter

Hi, I am Tony Miranda, otherwise known as Uncle Tony.

 I have been a professional photographer for 29 years. I am originally from Miami but moved to Orlando for Film School. I have always loved photography but decided to study in earnest while concentrating on cinematography in school.


I ended up running the media department for a bar consulting firm for 20+ years. Our company  worked with many national account restaurants as well as liquor and mix companies. Our clients hired us for varied projects including food/beverage, event, portrait, headshots, sports and wedding photography/video.


I am lucky to be able to say that I have shot it all. I am thrilled to work with Kiara. We met while working together at ESPN Wide World of Sports and RunDisney and instantly clicked. Our differing styles mesh well together to create beautiful images for our clients. And we have a lot of fun doing it.
