One Year Old Sweetie Pie!
{New Glarus Wisconsin Child Photographer}

This past winter I did this little ones 6 month session.  Mom made the trip to me last time and I made the 2 hour(ish) trip this time…. and it was worth every mile just to see her again.  She is soooo tiny, so stinking cute and full of smiles.  Just a very happy baby and I was so excited to see her and her mommy again and finally meet daddy.  I’ll say that I have held sessions in all sorts of pastures including cow and horse pastures.  But, this is a first for me to shoot in a pasture full of Lamas.  LOL  Very cool and was just happy that they stayed away from me and didn’t get to close.  As many of you know, large animals freak me out but that has never stopped me.  I’ll do just about anything to get the shot.  :)   Like one time in a horse pasture and the nice little horsey decided it was hungry and tried to eat my famous red chair.  Yep, that really did happen.  LOL  Anyway, I just love this little girl and it was amazing seeing her again and she’s walking now.  Oh my!  :)   She even gave me a little hug and kiss before I left.  Melt my heart.  :)   So, mom and dad, I know you are anxious to see a little bit of what we captured and are waiting on your sneak peek…. :)   While you are visiting my blog feel free to leave me a comment by clicking on the “add a comment” link below this post.  I’d love to know what you think.  Thank-you, Kimberly

Mom thinks little baby “I” got her blue, blue eyes from her Grandpa.  Hmmmmm!  LOL  Just teasing mom.  :)

Beautiful Girl – Class of 2011 Senior!!
{Southeastern Wisconsin High School Senior Photographer}

This was again, another wonderful session and again, another fear of rain but it turned out to be a gorgeous night.  A photographers dream in fact.  Beautiful!  I just love it when a plan comes together.  :) This session was a little bit of this and a little bit of that.  Our chosen location had a lot of fun variety and ya all know me, I love variety.  Ms. C here also knew how to work the camera and the camera loved her.  Her beautiful hair, blue eyes and all those freckles.  I love me some freckles.  LOL  I had an awesome time once again at this session and Ms. C was an absolute blast to work with. Anyway, I know you and your mom are anxioulsy awaiting your sneak peek so, wait no more.  Here it is.  And, while you are visiting my blog, feel free to click on the “add a comment” link below this post and let me know what you think so far and what you thought of your experience with Kimberly Ann Photography.  Thank-you, Kimberly

Down on the Farm – Class of 2011 Senior!!
{Southeastern Wisconsin High School Senior Photographer}

I had an amazing time with Ms. D here.  Two farms and 2.5 hours later…. oops… LOL… we lost track of time and was wondering why it was starting to get dark.  Haha…. but, we needed to hurry and get to the wheat feild that her dad so graciously left us an uncut patch for her photo session.  We had to get to it, and we did… just in time.  It was another hot one but we managed and we managed well.  We also didn’t make the best pair as we would both take off running every time we saw a BEE.  LOL  For all that know me and have had a session with me, you know how I am about bees. Well, now I have finally found someone who is just as bad as me.  :)  Also, the horseflies were horrible.  Not as afraid of those as I am bees but they are sooooo annoying.  The way they kept buzzing around our heads.  Grrrrr!  But, besides the bees, flies and heat…. we had an awesome session and like I said, so awesome we lost track of the time.  :)   Anyway, Ms. D, it was wonderful working with you and I hope you had a good time as well.  Here’s a little sneak peek that I promised you and while you are visiting my blog, I’d love to know you’re thoughts… of the sneak peek and the experience with Kimberly Ann Photography.  You can do that by clicking on the “add a comment” link below this post.  Thank-you and I look forward to seeing you again. ~Kimberly

Beautiful Little Lady – Class of 2011 Senior!!
{Southeastern Wisconsin High School Senior Photographer}

And yet another wonderful Class of 2011 photo shoot.  I tell ya, this class is rockin’ it and I am having sooooo much fun!  Yesterday was absolutely gorgeous for a photo session.  Everything was just right and perfect.  We couldn’t have asked for better weather.  I have been out lately is some really hot and humid weather but yesterday was perfect with a perfect little breeze.  I did this young lady’s sisters senior pictures a couple of years ago and she rocked it as well.  I was so excited to do Ms. O’s session yesterday because I just knew she would be like her sister and that it was in the blood.  And it was.  She really knew how to work the camera and we had a ton of fun.  So, if you have been following my blog, you will already know this.  If you are knew to my blog, I’ll say it again, I LOVE my job!  Ms. O, I had an absolute blast with you and I hope you did too.  And mom, it was great to see you again.  You have raised some beautiful girls.  So, now, on with the sneak peek.  But first, while you are visiting my blog, I’d love to know what you thought of the experience and your sneak peek.  You can do that by clicking on the “add a comment” link below this post.  Thank-you, Kimberly

Beautiful Girl – Class of 2011 Senior!!
{Sheboygan Wisconsin High School Senior Photographer}

Have I ever told you how much I love my job?  If not, I will now.  I LOVE MY JOB!!!!!  I honestly can not believe it took me 30 years to find something I truly loved or as some may say “my calling”. LOL  This young lady and her mother came to me from a couple hours away and poor things got stuck in Milwaukee rush hour traffic.  Oh the horror.  LOL  But, when they finally made it to our destination of choice, we had an absolute blast.  Ms. A is just so dang cute and really didn’t need much direction at all.  She was a natural.  :)   Anyway, I know they are anxious to see a sneak peek from the session so here it is.  :)   Ms. A, I had a blast working with you and look forward to seeing you in a few more weeks when you get to view all your images.  I can’t wait to see the look on your face.  But, in the meantime, enjoy your sneak peek and while you are visiting my blog, feel free to click on the “add a comment” link below this post to leave me a comment.  I’d love to know what you think so far and about your experience with Kimberly Ann Photography.  Thank-you, Kimberly

“Sha la la la la la la la ti da Brown Eyed Girl” – Class of 2011 Senior!!
{Waterford Wisconsin High School Senior Photographer}

So, I spent a couple of hours with this beautiful brown eyed girl yesterday and guess what song kept playing over and over in my head?  Well, if you can’t figure it out from the title of this post, then I’m not gonna tell ya.  LOL  We started out the day with a BIG fear of rain.  The weathermen had called for rain on Tuesday for the last few days.  Even Tuesday morning when I got out of bed, they were still calling for rain.  However, from past experience, I have learned not to freak out.  By the time the weather was on TV again at noon, they took the rain out of the forecast.  See, knocking on wood does work.  LOL  So, yes, we managed to rid the rain outta the forecast but not the heat and humidity.  It was HOT HOT HOT….. but, we managed and had a wonderful time despite the heat. Anyway Ms. K, I really, really hope you enjoyed the experience and hope you enjoy your sneak peek below.  While you are visiting my blog, feel free to click on the “add a comment” link below this post and leave me a comment.  I’d love to know what you think.  Thank-you, Kimberly

Beautiful Blue Eyes – Class of 2011 Senior!!
{Southeastern Wisconsin High School Senior Photographer}

This young lady has very beautiful eyes.  I have blue eyes myself so am a little bias when it comes to blue eyes but, blue eyes and dark hair = love.  :)   Also, this blue eyed beauty was way, way ahead of the game when it came to getting her senior pictures done.  She contacted me LAST August.  She told me that she really, really wanted me to do her senior pictures and all her friends told her, “well, you better contact her now.”  LOL  I told her that her friends are very smart.  However, I do not schedule that far in advance and told her to contact me to set something up in March.  She did just that…. she contacted me again on March 1st to be exact.  LOL  She’s awesome and after all that, I was really excited about our session together and was just as excited to play with a couple of her images and get a sneak peek together for her.  So, Ms. S…. I do know how excited you are to see your sneak peek.  I mean, ya only told me 10 times.  Hahaha!  So, now you don’t have to wait any more cause here it is.  I hope you enjoyed the experience as much as I enjoyed my time with you.  While you are visiting my blog, feel free to click on the “add a comment” link below this post and leave me a comment.  I’d love to know what you think so far.  Thank-you, Kimberly

Awesome and Fun Family!
{Menomonee Falls Wisconsin Family Photographer}

What another beautiful day for a photo session.  Again, we were a little worried because we both heard rain on and off ALL day long and it was raining and very gloomy in the morning.  But, when the sun came out, it never went away.  So once again, we lucked out.  Anyway, I had a ton of fun with this family.  They laughed a lot and new how to work it for the camera.  When mom called, she told me that she loves artistic and fun.  Not a lot of stiffy type posing and that is why she picked me.  I was honored to be their chosen photographer.  Anyway, “M” family, it was great meeting you all and I had a blast working with you.  Here is a little sneak peek for you while you are waiting on the rest of your images.  Also, while you are visiting my blog, feel free to click on the “add a comment” link below this post and leave me a comment.  I’d love to know what you think so far.  Thank-you, Kimberly

Pretty as a Princess – Class of 2011 Senior!!
{Southeastern Wisconsin High School Senior Photographer}

Another awesome High School Senior session and one that we didn’t think would happen on schedule.  All week long the forecast called for rain on and off all day.  We didn’t have a drop and had absolutely gorgeous weather.  Beautiful breeze and sun.  Loved it.  And Ms. J hear did an awesome job.  She is sooooo stinking cute.  I told her I thought she looked like Snow White and apparently I was right on track becuase there were a lot of stories behind that.  :)   So, I am not the only one that thinks she is as pretty as a Princess.  :)   We were at a park in Milwaukee, one I have been to numerous times.  However, this time we went scouting for new shooting locations in the park and I was in Awe.  Also, in some of these new locations, Ms. J and I were frog hunting while taking pictures.  LOL  Frogs, baby frogs, everywhere.  It was so cool.  We both love frogs.  :)   Also, we both have a phobia.  Mine being bees and hers being spiders.  We protected each other from these natures bad beasts.  Hahaha!  No, seriously… we did.  LOL  Anyway, I had an awesome time with you Ms. J and your family.  I hope you enjoyed the experience.  So, now, on to your sneak peek.  While you are visiting my blog, feel free to click on the “add a comment” link below this post to leave me a comment.  I’d love to know what you think so far.  ~Kimberly

Class of 2011 Senior!
{Southeastern Wisconsin High School Senior Photographer}

The post below this one was my very first class of 2011 senior and this one is the first boy from the class of 2011.  This is going to be one heck of a year and it has already gotten off to an amazing start.  However, just an FYI if anyone reading this hasn’t figured it out yet, the mosquitoes are horrible…. I mean bad, bad.  Bug spray did help but they were still swarming us.  It was ridiculous.  And yep, this is the same complaint I had from the first class of 2011 senior girl below this post.  LOL  As you can see, I hate mosquitoes.    Okay, so, enough about the bugs…. Mr. A did an awesome job and he has the best eyes ever.  It was such a gorgeous evening for the session and with all the rain we have been having lately, mom was really worried that we might end up with a rain out.  But, nope, it was gorgeous.  We started the session with a couple of family shots and then Mr. A and I were on our way.  I have known him and his family for years.  Mr. A was actually just a baby when I met him for the first time.  My daughter is 6 years younger than him, and not to embarrass the kids but she had the hugest crush on him when she was little.  Awhhhhh!  LOL  Anyway, Mr. A, I can’t beleive your going to be a senior and graduating next year.  Wow how time flies.  Congratulations to you and I hope you have the best year of your life!  Anyway, here is a little sneak peek for you.  Also, while you are visiting my blog, feel free to click on the “add a comment” link below this post to leave me a comment.  I’d love to know what you think so far.  Thank-you, Kimberly
