As time goes by families scatter, children grow then go off to school, and moments with loved ones are fleeting. With this in mind, Portraits by Kimberly invites you to celebrate your loved ones and join us for this very special occasion.

Sunday, December 27th

Home for the Holidays

Take advantage of your loved ones being gathered together and schedule your family or childrens session. Book soon, these Sunday sessions are very limited!

{ What happens...}

when you take 7 boys and 3 moms to Florida? Someone eventually poops in the pool, I'm not naming names though! Having a great time in Florida, pictures to come soon!

{ out of touch and out of time....}

So once again I am so sorry we have be neglectful of our blog....how does that saying go??? Time flies when you are having fun....well time has been just soaring by us! It seems like just the other day I was blowing up the beach balls and rafts for the beach and now the kids are back in school and before you know it, Christmas will be in all the stores..... I am just not ready for it! Has time always went by so fast and I just never noticed or does it just start to fly by when you become a parent and are trying desperately to hang on to every little day, making memories for your family at every turn.....

Hope your summer was happy and here's to fall!

Chicks Head Into Chicago And G.....O....

....and what? We tried to think of a catchy acronym and couldn't quite get it....what can you come up with??? A little help please....

Last weekend Kimberly & I, along with three super talented, beautiful and fun woman headed up to Chicago for a Bridal Expo.....the experience was unforgettable! In true Kimberly & Elizabeth style, we got lost heading to the hotel, but really if that was the worst thing we did all weekend, I think we were in good shape! The expo was fabulous and we made some great connections with some brides, and our helpers/friends that went along....they were in a word AMAZING! Truly, they all stepped up to the plate and blew us away! Words cannot express our gratitude Sarah, Kelly and Tiffany.... a million thanks! Take a peek at our booth and set up.......
the final product!

Really, we are pretty cute aren't we???

Oh, and let's just squelch a rumor before it starts, I do realize I

look like I am expecting in this picture. I am NOT!

....oh my !!! It's the dress, and the

way I am standing, yea that's it.

Who took this picture????

A little something for the brides to remember

us by....they were a hit!

Thanks girls, you rock!!!

{p.s. Fabulous shoes girls...}

So there you have it. Chicago Bridal Expo 2009!

Beach Babies { Indiana Childrens Photographer

Beach Baby, Beach Baby there in the sand, from July to September.....

Sessions were limited! Anyone miss and want in for a beach baby session? We're thinking of going back soon... Call if you would like to join us.

{ back from our break....Indiana Childrens Photographer}

and ready for a vacation! Phew! What a whirlwind week we had.....4-H, dirtbikes, waterparks, rollercoasters, canoeing, fishing and visits with family! Just thinking about it makes me tired, but not the kids....they just keep going!

One night, last week while Kimberly had her "big" boys at the fair, I took her youngest and my only to the splash park in H-town, we closed the place down! They didn't stop! It was monkey see, monkey do all night! Hilarious! oh, and p.s.....the splash park was an after thought so I didn't have Kim pack swim trunks, so Jon borrowed trunks from Tate.....the trunks Tate wore at his first birthday party! Let me tell you though, he may be small in size but he is mighty big on the inside....he didn't let the "big" kids there push him off of the spray gun at all! He ran the show! Super fun week....glad to be back at work!

{ snatch up your past sessions before it's to late...}

Here is a blast from my past, Tate at 6 months....this is one

of my favorite pictures of him, and can you believe the wall portrait

we printed is not hanging on my wall, it's on my mom's! How could

I let this go! You better believe I have the CD now!

Have you seen cuter baby buns in your life????

Here he is now, almost 4 and a super hero!

I don't want to say we have bitten off more than we can chew....but I will say that the response to the purging of past files and negatives has been overwhelming to say the least! Not that I am surprised, I know the idea of one of my Tater's cd's ending up in the landfill breaks my heart, so I can completely understand why so many of our clients have been calling. We have been trying to keep up with everyone and replying with a total as quickly as possible but sometimes, quickly isn't so quick, if you know what I mean. In other words......some clients may have inadvertantly slipped through the cracks....so sorry. So if you still want your past sessions, cd or film, and haven't heard from us yet, give us another call or send us an e-mail and we will hook you up ASAP! Thanks so much and if you are heading out to the 4-H fair, look for us (I'll probably be hanging out around the elephant ear booth and Kimberly will be hanging with the hogs, wish Victor luck tomorrow!)

{ Cuter than cute...Indiana Childrens Photographer}

So here is an adorable family session that I just had to share with you! It's from last Wednesday, which was by-the-way the perfect day for an outdoor session! Enjoy the pics of these sweet cheeked kids....and just try to resist those faces! I could eat them up!

{faith, family, friends and freedom....}

celebrate what matters this weekend! The studio will be closed for a wedding tomorrow and we will re-open on Tuesday.....see you then! Have a blast with your loved ones, and be safe!

{ a little help....}

As promised to a few on the phone, here is some examples of clothing that has worked well for the beach session. Think light and airy and you'll do fine.

The most important thing to remember is that this session is fun...put some thought into it, but don't stress about it and enjoy the day!
