Chunky Monkey 6 Months Old!!!
{Brookfield WI Child/Family Photographer}

Another very cute 6 month old.  I did his newborn photos as well and seeing him now, all I can say is “wow”.  He has gotten so big, just look at those round, plump cheeks.  LOVE them and he is so, so, so cute.  I just love being able to watch these little babies grow.  So much fun.

Another fun thing we did, is we selected the same location for his 6 month old session that we went for Momma’s maternity session this past fall.  I thought that was a great idea.  Not only that, we had the same exact weather.  LOL  Just not as windy as it was in the fall.  🙂

Anyway, mom, dad, big sister Ms. A and Mr. R…. it was really great seeing you again and can not wait to see Mr. R again when he turns ONE.

Here is a little sneak peek from our session and while you are visiting the blog, feel free to leave a comment down below this post to let me know what you think so far and/or click on one of the “sharing is sexy” buttons below this post to share with family and friends.  Thank-you, Kimberly

 And one of beautiful big sister Ms. A…

Brothers!!!
{Mukwonago WI Child Photographer}

Two very cute brothers.  11 month old Mr. G was sooooo cute and so full of smiles.  He is just on the verge of walking so he can keep up with his rambuctious older brother.  At 3 years old, Mr. M was also very cute and curious.  We had a difficult time getting images of them together but separately, awesomeness!!! 🙂

Thank-you for for choosing to participate in the “Americas Cutest Kid” contest to help us raise funds for a wonderful charity “Now I lay me down to sleep”. ~Kimberly

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:

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.
