Cowboy Baby!!!
{Southeastern WI Child Photographer}

And another little boy for our “Americas Cutest Kid” contest… and is he cute or what?  Just look at those cheeks and those eyes.  He’s just to cute for words.  He is such a calm, easy baby.  But boy oh boy did we have to work to get him to smile.  He was way to interested in everything else around him.  Exploring, checking everything out and eating a LOT of hay.  LOL  But hey, I always say smiles in photos are way overrated.  If the eyes smile, which his do, then we are good.  🙂 

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

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

(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.  

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.
