Presley, Anna Blaine & Cole were just precious!  I might be a little slower at getting up out of the floor these days, but I just want to say it again… I LOVE my job!    Here are some of my favorites from your session, Kimberly…

Sadie is due in 19 days… that’s so hard to believe!   :)

My maternity leave has started…  well, sorta.    I had my last session today!  {more of Seth to come later!}  I have begun to schedule sessions for mid March.  I will still be delivering proofs and placing orders during my "maternity leave", so if you need to reach me, feel free to e-mail me or call!  I might be a little slower in responding, but I’ll do my best to get back to you asap!  I’m having some e-mail issues (old e-mail), but you should be able to reach me at the new one…  kim@kimkelleyphotography.com or call 662-258-3738.

Thank you!

These brothers were so cute together!  It was nice to see the different personalities with each of their ages!  And I was impressed by how sweet they were to each other… now only if my {soon-to-be} 3 will be the same when Sadie is 1!

Thanks, Fran!  It was nice meeting you all!

We all have something or someone who inspires us.  I have many areas of inspiration. I know that God puts people in my life who are meant to be there.  Shane and the kids have been my source of inspiration… in life and in photography. 

And Brandi came to me for a maternity session {see previous post} and I was inspired to do my own maternity photos.  Shane took them for me.  Of course, my images required LOTS more editing than Brandi’s!

Sadie Claire at 36 weeks… (well, and one of just me!)

I’ve photographed SO many newborns lately!  And in celebration of that, I’ve decided to offer birth announcements.  I’ll be adding the full collection to my website, but wanted to share a little preview here!

As always, feel free to let me know what you think!  Your feedback is always welcomed!

I love maternity sessions!  And it’s not just because I happen to be 37 weeks pregnant myself!  I’ve been so lucky to have photographed the most beautiful Mommas!  I’ve photographed Madeline a couple of times and this time she brought her Momma and baby brother-to-be, Luke!  Here is Brandi at 28 weeks… absolutely beautiful!

And of course, I could never post just one!

Congratulations, Brandi!  I can’t wait to meet baby Luke!

Another of those fun sibling sessions… Holly & Katie were precious!  And I know they’re not sitting up straight and smiling for the camera, but this first image just makes me smile.  This is what childhood is about… sweet, innocent fun!  Laughter.

And more of my favorites from their session…

There are so many things that I love about my job.  But the best part… the kids that I get to meet.  I met two cool kids recently and we even hung out together waiting for the storm to pass!   I know this first shot isn’t your "typical portrait" but then I don’t want to be your typical photographer either.  ;o)  It’s all about childhood and what says childhood better than laughter… the real stuff?

I got to meet Madison Rose & Sara Michael last week.  They were just precious!  Sara Michael was a little unsure of my camera… but I think we captured some very sweet moments.  And Madison Rose was lots of fun to work with!  As I was proofing, I noticed that she seemed SO much older than she actually is! 

Both beautiful little girls… I love my job!

Well actually… it’s a pregnant woman’s fantasy.  I had a thought yesterday.  What if my dates are wrong and I’m not really due in 4 weeks.  What if I’m due this week?!  According to our 4D ultrasound, Sadie was measuring 5+ lbs at 32 weeks.  (Though I know how wrong those estimates can be… Alex was *supposed* to be 7½ lbs and he was 9lbs 7 ozs!!) 

So, then I have to bring myself back to reality.  She’s moving around in there an awful lot!  She still has room to grow (scary stuff!)… so I must really be due in February…  so much for my wishing for wrong dates.  lol

Here’s Sadie at 35 weeks…

It was a day full of smiles!  I had so much fun with Chelsey & Macie!  They were so very cooperative… very much unlike my own children who are about the sames ages.  ha ha… 

I had lots of fun and I hope you did too, Jennifer! 

Here are some of my favorites…

Love, LOVE this one of them together…  And I can’t even take credit for the pose! It was Macie’s idea… maybe I should hire her!
