HI, I’M KIM CHRISTOFFEL,
The founder and curator of Settled.
Duality has always shaped my journey, which led me to create two distinct yet complementary services through the lens of one name.
The name Settled began with how I viewed vintage. Pieces that feel like they’ve found their place, nestling into a space like they were always meant to be there. Over time, I realized that same feeling runs through my photography too. I strive to shoot with a sense of classic nostalgia and quiet authenticity, the same feeling that inspired the name Settled in the first place
My experience as an Art Director, Stylist, Photographer, Visual Merchandiser, and more has culminated in the creation of Settled.
Enjoy!
Portraits with a little edge for the lovely @moomoopalace It’s always fun to capture a unique twist on portraits to shake things up a bit. Shot at Chicago’s @wicker_park_studios I’m starting to book out February - March if your headshots need some pep in their step. Film version to come after I get to scanning!
Polaroids have always been one of my favorite films to work with. They’re temperamental as all get out-but when they hit, they really hit.
Also included, a lil sneaky peak on the work coming out for @cusptunes 🤫🤐
