Kim Eastman Deimling 
Owner/Managing Partner 
Big Shot Photo Group 
 

Kim, owner, and founder of Big Shot Photo Group, was a stay-at-home mom until 2013 when she decided to turn her love of entertaining and photography into a photo booth rental business. For 5-years, she successfully operated within a franchise but decided to branch out on her own once her contract came up for renewal.  The transition was complicated and grueling but was ultimately the best business decision of her life.

Clancy was an officer in the U.S. Army and then transitioned to corporate America, where she was often the only woman at the table. She realized women need a better understanding of their strengths and how to leverage them to become leaders. Later she started her own coaching business. Clancy joined the WBCUtah team where she continues to help women live their best lives, both professionally and personally.
