Baby Chloe

So, I had this post scheduled for Wednesday because it catches me up on my blogging, and I thought I’d spread the new ones out. Woke up this morning and changed my mind! Chloe is too cute to wait. She is getting soo big!! I can’t believe it’s been 3 months since I photographed her last. Babies grow so fast. She is getting cuter and cuter!

Despite the fact that things are getting crazy with school, I am working on some new stuff for photography! I’m in DESPERATE need of a new website. It doesn’t really match my style. And, I am in want of a new logo. I’ve found that I am much better at designing for other people! :) So, stay tuned for that. I’ll also be announcing a new feature that we’ll be adding to our photography mix! I’m REALLY excited about that. In the mean time, enjoy the cuteness of Chloe! And enjoy the last of the summer heat, I can tell that fall is right around the corner (hello fall leaves! I only have two open weekends in October if you’re looking for a fall session, contact me soon).

Baby Brighten

This little lady is one of my favorite little ladies!! She is so precious! She was just under 4 months old when we took these photos of her. I know a few of them are similiar, but i just love her facial expressions!!

I’ve been a major blog slacker lately. But, I’ve been keeping myself busy with photo editing and work work work! I proposed (and have almost completed) my master’s project for grad school. Hooray for that!! I’m so excited to have that almost finished and out of the way. That will make the rest of my school days breezy (hopefully). I’m trying not to take on too many extra projects (guilty of that too frequently!). In the mean time, enjoy these photos of Brighten. Hopefully tomorrow will bring more previews!

Babies have such cute little toes!

Chloe

Can you believe this shoot was yesterday, and it made it to the blog today?? I think that’s a record for me. I couldn’t stop editing…so I just kept going…

Love love love everything about the photo below…

She had the cutest hair bows. I love little girls!

Kitty cat hat. I love the pink soothie too.

The two below were taken with our 50mm lens. It’s definitely a favorite!

This was our first “in studio” shoot. I put “in studio” in quotes because we had it in the den in our new house which is going to be the photo office/studio, but right now it just has boxes and a random bookshelf in it. I really enjoyed it though. It’s so nice to have a dedicated place to take photos and edit photos. I’m glad this beautiful little lady was our first to take advantage! She is precious!! (And yes, we moved into our house on Friday!! Hooray! We are unpacked to the point of being able to park our cars in the garage, so I’ll call that a success!)

A Cute Little Lady!

I can’t get over how cute this little lady is!! She’s so precious (and was VERY cooperative for our picture fun). I couldn’t stop editing, so I’ll just get to the pictures.

The one below is my favorite!

With mom:

And a quick family photo too:

How I Spent My Friday Afternoon

No! I wasn’t sleeping…I was taking pictures of this PRECIOUS little thing. She was two weeks and two days old. There is nothing more beautiful than a brand new life. She’s my new favorite. This is a sneak peek, but you’ll be seeing lots more of her.

Best Of 2009 – Family, Kids, Portraits

I told you I was going to post this…and I’m still working on the blog changes…slow and steady wins the race?

Wow. That’s pretty much all that I have to say about how my photography has changed in 2009. It went from being a fun hobby to something that brings fun and happiness to others too. I feel so blessed to have the skill and to be given the opportunity to perfect it throughout this past year. I look back on some of my pictures and wish I could go back and do them all over again because I am constantly learning and growing. I really am thankful for each and every person and family that we photographed this year, and I look forward to many more next year. I’m really excited that Brandon has decided to join in on the fun and is now obsessed with perfecting our photos. We have a blast when we do this together, and I hope it’s a hobby that we will always maintain together.

For the record, those flowers were dead! I tied a red ribbon around them to keep them from falling out of the pot, and I really like how the picture turned out.

This is one of my FAVORITE pictures from the year. At first, I didn’t even realize I was getting Brandon’s shadow in it. But when I did, I was so ridiculously excited!

P.S. We <3 downtown photos. Someone book a downtown session ASAP. :)

I think this one might be one of our all time favs. It helps that these kids are so darn cute! :)

Alright, it’s time to stop. Check out the Kim Davis Photography fan page in the near future. It’ll have the Best of 2009 album…and there might be a few more. Next up, 2009 Brides and Grooms Top 10.

Snuggly Newborn

I guess I like newborn photos in black and white too….This little guy was awake for most of the time that I was there, but we managed to get a handful of him snuggly and sleepy. He was three weeks old and such a champ. Newborn photos make me nervous (and still kinda do), but they are definitely the most precious photos of them all.

Carter & Sophie

These two little tykes are cousins…and oh so cute!

Lilly & Kassidy

Taking pictures of these two was soooo much fun! Lilly was adorable and was smiling and saying cheese the whole time. She is soooo cute! And Kassidy was a cute tiny little thing. She’s a sweetie and a very happy baby. Check out the photo at the end!! Lilly wanted to take pictures too when we were done.

She would tell him to do things we had asked her to do…sooo cute and funny!! Her camera is  real too!

Peterson Baby Bump

My friend Brittney is expecting, and the baby should be showing up pretty soon!

The one below is my favorite!
