Beautiful Ms. M is FOUR!!!
{Waukesha WI Child Photographer}

Loved photographing beautiful Ms. M here for her 4 yr old portraits and as a contestant in our contest for “Americas Cutest Kid” to help raise money for non-profit organization “Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep”.  Anyway, she certainly is a little princess.  With a whole house full of brothers, literally, I think she has that princess roll down pat.  LOL  She was fantastic and really knows how to work the camera.  I photographed her when she was about 6 months old or so.  It was a long time ago so don’t remember exactly how many months old she was, but she was a cutie then and I just can’t believe how big she has gotten and her personality is so fun and so cute.  She really had us all laughing.

Anyway mom, you made a mention that you wanted your sneak peek sooner than later before you left the studio.  LOL  So, here she is… Ms. M the Princess.

Thank-you, Kimberly

(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.

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.  

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.
