About Kim Kelley
Hey there! I am Kim and this is me with my youngest child, Sadie (3). I am blessed to have 3 children! Savannah is 11 and Alex is 9... they grew up with my camera always aimed at them and it takes a little bribing to get them in front of it now! :) I say that I am blessed to have 3 precious children, but the truth is that I am just plain blessed! God is the Mighty Creator and always has a better plan than mine! I have a wonderful husband who is my greatest fan ♥. And I have the best job in the world... I get to meet new families, share in your love stories, play with your children... ♥ it all! Call me today to make your session appointment! 662.552.3738
Class of 2011… that still seems so unreal to me! I specifically remember thinking about 20 years ago, that we’d be in the “space age”… almost like the Jetsons in the year 2010. And here we are!
I had a great time at Ryan’s senior session! I wanted to share these two images for now… #1 because i love closeups and #2 because i love different locations and this one is right in my own back yard (well side yard actually)… such a great urban(ish) grungy spot!
I know I’ve been scarce lately. This has been my craziest/busiest Christmas season yet. I’m very thankful to God for the lesssons in my life, for my job and most importantly for my family. I thank you, my clients for an awesome 2010. I’ll be choosing 2 families for free sessions and prints. There is a catch… but this time you don’t have to post my website link on facebook on your wall or comment to any post of mine. This time, I want you to send me an email nominating a family that is special to you… someone that you know would cherish family portraits and who can’t afford custom photography right now.
It only takes one tradgedy or death in a family, whether it’s your own family or someone you know, to make you realize just how important and cherished family photos are. And I’d like to help provide those to a couple of families who otherwise might not be able to buy them for themselves.
E-mail me now and tell me what family you’d like to nominate for a complimentary session! And tell me a little about them! They will receive the session, a copy of all proofs and a custom print collection.
Merry Christmas!!

Don’t forget about the fall photo day TOMORROW, October 15th from 1-7pm! You can dress your children in their Halloween costumes, in their new fall outfits, Christmas outfits… anything goes! It’s totally up to you! And we can get your shot in the studio or outdoors! One shot per collection and all collections must be paid for tomorrow.
All profits go to the Mt. Zion Youth Fund to fund our trip to The Connect Conference in December!
I’m totally in love with these new Christmas cards! The options are endless! You can choose to have them printed as a 5×7 flat double-sided linen card or you can choose the designs shown below which are folded! The design includes the front, inside spread and back! Awesome, awesome way to showcase your family session… your friends and family will LOVE them! 
I absolutely adore the vintage, classic feel of these new cards!!
Tell your friends!!
Thank you, God for the flowers. We SO enjoy their beauty. Shane, the kids and I were headed to a birthday party Saturday afternoon and we were driving about 20mph on the gravel road (Shane had just washed the truck!). It gave us a chance to really *see* things… to see God’s creation! And right there in the woods were the most georgeous yellow flowers (probably weeds) but still beautiful!!! If we hadn’t taken the time to slow down, we’d have missed them. Thank you, God for reminding me that sometimes I need to slow down.
Thank you, God for the wind! And its prefect timing…
Thank you, God for the trials in my life. Because of those rough times and the tears and sadness, I’m nearer to You!
What would you like to thank Him for today?
Thanks to my friend, Melissa Bell, for introducting me to KLove’s Encouraging Word. I just HAD to share today…

I took my troubles to the Lord; I cried out to him, and he answered my prayer.
~ Psalm 120:1, NLT
I would say that it’s so funny that I get this particular scripture, but nothing happens by coincidence. I’m positive that it’s all God’s plan for me. Just about four years ago, my life was a mess and that’s probably putting it mildly. I was so confused. And one night, I cried out to him. I will never forget where I was or how I felt. He answered me. Just like He promises that he will. Maybe not instantly, but in His own time. Several weeks later, I met Shane. Again, not by coincidence. God was trying to show me balance in this crazy world. And Shane was a huge part of that revelation for me. He once said that for everything good there is something bad… people die but babies are born. I held onto that when my Daddy died. It really was a comfort to me to know that on April 22, 2009… so far the worst day of my life… someone else was rejoicing. Someone witnessed the miracle of life. Someone celebrated a birthday that they didn’t expect to celebrate. Someone received good news. Balance. That brought me great comfort.
God heard my cries. He hears yours too.
Trust in Him.
I wanted to share this one of Shane and Sadie… enjoying the light show at Laketown Wharf in Panama City Beach, FL.
Out with the khaki & white, IN with color and texture and print!!! {all the things that i ♥} I was chatting online with Melissa Bell last night… she was working on her family’s clothing for a photo session this fall. It gave me the kick in the pants to get started on my own family’s wardrobe!! (LOVE picking this stuff out, btw!) We’re so excited about Renee Reedy doing our family session… it’s the first time we’ve had a real session! woohooo!!!
I had already fallen in love with Sadie’s outfit at The Sweet Pea so it came home with us after a trip to Greenwood, MS! I started with her outfit and wanted to incorporate the pink and red with the rest of the family. Gray and denim just came natural because Shane and I are fans. Let your clothing be about YOU! different is ok. different is good!
I haven’t mentioned this on my blog yet, but I’m working on my new office/waiting area! Hopefully, it will all come together by 2011! And today, my first wall display arrived. I can’t believe I have never ordered these sizes of the SAME print. As a photographer, I say MAKE an impact! Bigger IS better. Seriously, I keep walking by these prints propped on my dining room wall and saying, “Wow!”. And to think *I*, the photographer, almost didn’t order the 20×24 because I didn’t think there would be a huge difference in the size of it and the 16×20. There is actually a substantial difference. Wanna see???
What is the moral of the story, you say? Go BIG! Make a statement. Because your life IS Art. ♥
