Beautiful Mommy To Be!!!
{Southeastern Wisconsin Maternity/Newborn Photographer}

I was very excited to photograph this momma to be and her family.  I photographed them about 3 years ago with her Mom, Dad and her siblings.  Soon to be big sister Ms. J here was only 3 (if that) at the time.  So, now at 5 yrs old, I was really excited to see her again.  She even drew me the most beautiful picture.  🙂  Love it Ms. J… thank-you so much. 

Anyway, here is a little sneak peek of your maternity session.  I can’t wait to see you again and meet your new little addition soon.

Thank-you, Kimberly

She’s a Beauty!!!
{Southeastern WI Child Photographer}

I love this little girl.  She’s may only be 2.5yrs old but I have photographed her now multiple times since she was a tiny baby.  Everytime I see her, she keeps getting cuter and cuter and it’s so fun watching her grow and her personality explode.  She is just an awesome little girl.  🙂

Thank-you, Kimberly

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.  🙂 

2.5 Year Old Cutie!!!
{Waukesha WI Child Photographer}

The “Americas Cutest Kid Contest” is kicking into full gear now and I am sorry to say for those who were procrastinating and did not get a session scheduled for this contest, we are now all booked up.  However, we are still offering studio mini sessions through March and April and we are also now scheduling spring and summer outdoor photo sessions.  So, if you would like to schedule a session, give us a call or send us an email.   262-492-3893 / info@kimberlyannphotography.com

Anyway, this little guy came is sooooo shy and sooooo cute.  But, it didn’t take long for him to warm up to me and he did such an awesome job.  His mommy and I go way back.  We were work out buddies many, many years ago and it was great to see her again and meet her handsome little guy.

And again, Thank-you so much for for choosing to participate in the “Americas Cutest Kid” contest to help us raise funds for such a wonderful charity “Now I lay me down to sleep”.

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
