{ Aruba, Jamaica ooo I wanna take you....}

on a sea cruise! The bags are packed, the kids have been kissed at least a thousand times today, (with only a few thousands hugs and kisses left to go yet today!) our toes are perfectly polished (thanks Shark!) and we are READY to set sail on the Springer-Evenson wedding cruise! Woo-hoo! Are we excited????......yeah, just a little bit! The day can't go fast enough! We will be back in the studio on Tuesday, February 10th....with oodles of pictures to share! See you then!

{ Stuck on you....}

You will L-O-V-E this Special Occasion session....I know I do!!! It is super simple, no kiddie prep work on your part, no new outfits....just jeans on boys and we will supply the "Mom" heart tattoo....every boy's first love is their Mama right? For the girls, we will supply the pretty pink tutu and white tank. Barefeet on everyone! Easy peasy.....but oh so cute....I could eat this images up!

With the session everyone will receive one 8x10 of their choice in black & white with the tattoos and tutus in color. The perfect Valentine!

Seriously, I can't wait....Saturday, February 14th....and book soon we are already filling up, and haven't even advertised for it yet! It's going to be big!!!

{ Snow what fun it is....}

Ok, I hate cold weather, but when you have a three year old at home, sometimes you just have to brave the elements and get out there in it.......

and I am so glad we did this weekend . Honestly, there were times I wasn't sure who was having more fun~ me, Tater or my husband. It was a blast.....and there is more snow on the way!

The perfect way to end an afternoon of sledding.....hot chocolate for the little one, tea for mommy and coffee for daddy!

Oh, and I apologize for the color of these images.....the camera was in the car from photographing newborns at the hospital, I just grabbed it and started shooting....didn't want to miss a minute of Tate's fun. My only regret, I didn't have the video camera because his laugh when he was flying down the hill......priceless!

Janelle.....

Wow Janelle, thanks for choosing Portraits by Kimberly to capture YOU during this special year. You truly have a beautiful smile. Wishing you the best in all you ventures.

{ tooting my own horn....}

Last night while checking our blog my super smart and ultra supportive husband asked me why I didn't post any of my images from Brittany & Kyle's wedding. I always come home from a wedding and tell him about my "shot of the day" and then post it along with Kimberly's amazing wedding images on our blog. Well, this time I forgot, and I can't believe I did because at Brittany and Kyle's wedding I had not one favorite, but three. Now, I still have LOTS to learn about wedding photography, but I am super proud of these images, so with out further ado.....here are my top three from the day...I LOVE them!!! Slowly but surely I am catching on!

I was just testing light, but LOVED her silhouette.


Love, love, love this one....it's my version of one of Kimberly's poses.

The bride, groom, and wedding party were all so fun and smiley, but when

they did serious....WOW! Blew me away! Seriously,

did you catch the image of the Bride sitting

on the chair in the previous post....WOW!!!
.
