    Beautiful Baby Boy!!!
    {New Berlin WI Newborn Photographer}

    This gorgeous baby boy was 3 weeks old when these photos were taken.  He was/is soooooooo cute and he was so good.  He didn’t really want to sleep for me which can make things a little harder sometimes but not really true with this guy.  Even though he didn’t sleep, he was very content just laying there and/or being held.  No fussing at all…. a lot of talking and well, a lot of peeing too.  Hahahaha…..

    Anyway, I photographed his big sister 3 years ago and was so happy to meet her little brother.

    What a beautiful family.

    Thank-you, Kimberly

    America’s Cutest Kid Contest Is Here Again!!!…
    {Southeastern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois Portrait Photographer}

    Is your child North America’s Cutest Kid? We’ll give you the opportunity to prove it! We’re looking for children ages 6 months to 14 years old to model for a portrait to be entered into the National Charity Model Search.  The grand prize winner will win a travel package, a Nikon COOLPIX S205 point and shoot camera, a $2500 savings bond, and a $100 Target gift card.  The second and third place runners up each will win a Nikon COOLPIX S205 point and shoot camera, a $500 savings bond and a $100 Target gift card.
    (NILMDTS reserves the right to substitute prizes of equal or greater value based on prize availability from our partner sponsors providing the prizes.)

    Kimberly Ann Photography is proud to be a participating photographer again in the International Charity Model Search to select North America’s Cutest kid to raise funds for the non-profit Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep Foundation. (NILMDTS.org)

    Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep (NILMDTS), is a 501(C)(3) non-profit organization committed to assisting parents and families who experience the tragedy of an early infant loss. NILMDTS connects families with volunteer photographers and provides them with a professional portrait session and reproducible CD of the images of their baby at no cost to the family. For further information on NILMDTS, visit their website at www.nowilaymedowntosleep.org.

    In 2009 AND 2011, Kimberly Ann took part in the search for America’s Cutest Kid and she took first, second and third place in the state of Wisconsin.  There was an overwhelming response to this contest and together, in the last few years, the contest featured over 2,600 model’s and raised over $200,000 for the NILMDTS organization.

    Model Search Special:

    There is a $35 entrance fee per child for sessions held at my studio or at a local outdoor setting of your choice (travel fees may apply if out of the area) These photo sessions include a 30 minute model session and one image submitted to the international gallery with the option to purchase additional portraits of your beautiful child at 10% off regular portrait prices.  

    Finalists will be determined by online votes. Each vote is $1 (no limit on the amount of votes you can cast), and all proceeds from votes benefit Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep (NILMDTS.org). 

    The top 25 vote receivers will move on to the final judging round to determine the winners for a chance at the above prizes and to win the title of Americas Cutest Kid 2012.  Grand prize winner and the runners up will be determined from the 25 finalists. The winner and runners up are selected by photography experts.

    Sound confusing?  Don’t worry, Kimberly Ann will walk you through each and every step.

    All Model Portrait Sessions must take place between January 31, 2012 and March 5, 2011 to be entered into the contest, space is limited so call now to reserve your session date.

    AND AS AN ADDED BONUS, Kimberly Ann Photography will be adding her own contest and giveaway.  We will be picking “our” favorite image from each child’s session and posting it right here on the blog on March 15th for free votes amongst your family and friends.  The winner with the most votes will receive 50% of their order total back.  So, if your order total is $300.  I will cut you a check for $150.  If it’s $500, you will receive a check for $250.  ETC…. Now, how’s THAT for deal?

    No minimums, No obligations, No Kidding!!!!

    We will post the rules for the voting once the voting begins.

    Fine Print: No shows or cancellations will forfeit the contest offer and forfeit their session retainer fee. All participants must complete our policy agreement form that will be sent to you upon booking your session and your session fee will be due within 4 days of booking your session.

    Thank-you and good luck, Kimberly and Mary Ann

    This is such a wonderful charity, Kimberly. I admire your hard work to bring awareness and donations to the cause.

    Class of 2012 and 2013 An Announcement for YOU!!!…
    {Southeastern WI High School Senior Photographer}

    It’s a battle of the referrals…

    We did this a couple of years ago and we had a lot of fun so I wanted to offer it up again. I will be giving away a $200 visa gift card to the class of 2012 senior who has used my portrait services and who refers the most class of 2013 seniors my way and a $75 visa gift card for second place.

    The rules….
    1. I need at least 3 or more referrals from you to consider it a win.
    2. The referred class of 2013 senior MUST schedule and complete a session by the contest deadline of Sept. 1, 2012 for you to receive a tally for that senior. Just calling and inquiring does not count.
    3. The class of 2013 senior MUST mention YOUR name when they schedule the session. I cannot and will not track it all down for you. So make sure you tell your friends they need to use your name when scheduling. 
    4. Contest ends September 1st and all referred seniors must have completed their session by September 10th. The winners will be announced on September 20th.  

    Note: In case of a first place tie, first and second place prize will be totaled together ($275.00) and will be split between the 2 winners ($137.50 each).  In case of a 2nd place tie, two $50 visa gift cards will be awarded.

    So, what are you waiting for?  Start talking and earn some referral credits…. I know you want to. 

    If you are out of the referral cards that you received with your order, let me know and I would be happy to get you some more.

    CLASS OF 2013… GET AHEAD OF THE GAME

    We have already started a waiting list for some seniors from the class of 2013.  We will be calling and scheduling those seniors first and we will be doing that next week.  The week of January 30th.  If you want to get on that list for your first choice of session dates, send me an email at info@kimberlyannphotography.com and let us know you would like to be added on that list.  Otherwise, our Spring/Summer schedule will open February 1st.

    Otherwise, we will start scheduling sessions for the Class of 2013 on February 10th.  Scheduling your session now is better than waiting until later as the deadline for senior pictures is here and gone before you know it and come summer Kimberly Ann Photography’s schedule fills up fast.  I am really looking forward to the Class of 2013.  I have lots of new ideas and my imagination has been running wild since finishing off with the wonderful Class of 2012.   They were an amazing class…. do YOU think you have what it takes to outdo them?  I can’t wait to find out.
     
    Don’t settle for your once in a life time senior pictures.  Get the senior pictures you deserve and are guaranteed to love.  With Kimberly Ann Photography you will receive a complimentary in-person consultation appointment where we will go over outfits, hair and make-up.  We will brainstorm locations together and really get to know each other so I can give you a session that really reflects YOU.
     
    If you’re the kind of person who loves winter and the snow, you can most definitely schedule your session now while we still have snow. Bring out your snowmobile, snow skies or snow board and let’s have some winter white fun. If you are a spring or summer lover or if you love autumn and all the beautiful colors, you’re not the only one.  Spring, Summer and Fall sessions are all very popular times for seniors and even family and/or children’s portraits and fill up fast.
     
    Kimberly Ann Photography is a quality based photographer, not quantity.  So, DO NOT WAIT, because when these dates and times are gone, they are gone!  Call 262.492.3893, email info@kimberlyannphotography.com or simply click on the “contact” link in the navigation links at the top of the blog page and fill out the contact form.
     
    We serve all of Southeastern WI and Northeast Illinois.
     
    We look forward to hearing from you, Kimberly and Mary Ann

    Wonderful Young Lady … Class of 2012!!!
    {Williams Bay WI High School Senior Photographer}

    Welcome to Wisconsin were the weather is ANYTHING but predictable.  Having an outdoor photo session in January in Wisconsin, one would think hats, jackets, cool boots and snow.  But noooooo, not so true this day.  Ms. “T” here wore tank tops and a strapless dress.  LOL  And, not only that… we should be seeing lots of people out ice fishing this time of year, instead, we saw a sail boat out and about on the lake.  Then, exactly one week later the temps dropped to just under 20deg and we got about 6″ of snow…. all this in just one week.  Well my friend, welcome to Wisconsin.  Haha

    Anyway, Mary Ann and I had an amazing time photographing Ms. T for her High School graduation pictures.  What an amazing and fun girl.

    It was so great meeting you Ms. T.  I hope you had a really good time and I will be seeing you again soon so you can see the rest of your images. :)
