Creepin’ back in

Can I just say that I miss weddings TERRIBLY. I miss packing my bag the night before and the smell of all of the plastic from my camera gear. I miss James Brown, Frank Sinatra, and the electric slide. Most of all, I miss my brides. Fortunately, so many of them have contacted me to let me know that they too have their own babies or are now expecting! It’s a full circle moment. Congratulations to all of brides and grooms…and to their new little ones, welcome to this wonderful world. After now having Henry, I can say firsthand that they’ll change your life all for the best (after the first 3 weeks).

So where have I been? Ooooh…you know – feeding, changing, and everything else that comes with baby territory. Henry is now sleeping through the night starting last week.  Other than Henry himself, sleep is one of the best gifts ever! I’ll be updating you on more soon, including that new website I’ve been trying to finish. Until then, here is a pic of our baby Henry at 12 weeks.

Kristin + Steve

*Updated*

I probably got carried away with the number of pictures posted on my blog from Kristin and Steve’s wedding, but it was hard to select just a handful! I finally stopped myself before I posted the entire wedding.

With each wedding and even family shoot, I get a tickle of butterflies in my stomach. For Kristin and Steve’s wedding, it was more like a swarm of bees…but in a good way. =) For weeks, I was completely anxious and excited to photograph their wedding. I gave Kristin an advance notice not to be surprised if I showed up a little early. =) After photographing their engagement session back in November, I knew they would be just a fun couple to shoot and be around. They were both so laid back and cool all day long. It was a little eerie how well everything was going…and without a wedding planner. For days, it was gloomy and rainy and the sky opened up just for Kristin and Steve’s day. Pardon the cliche, but it was picture perfect! Thanks for a great time. It was truly a pleasure and an honor…and a big thank you to the dancing guests for giving us a big chuckle.

One of the highlights of the getting ready was seeing Nicole Palermo, my super-fabulous, uber-talented makeup artist that did my wedding day makeup almost 4 years ago. I haven’t seen her since and I think we both screamed out loud in excitement when we saw each other. I love her to pieces and it was so fun to run into her again. She did an amazing job on everyone!

I’m probably getting ahead of myself here, but I couldn’t resist.

The Mullins Part 2

As I was finishing my edits on the Mullins’ sessions, I came across two of my favorites. I don’t know how I missed them on the first blog post.

The Mullins

After having to postpone a couple of sessions due to unseasonably cold and rainy weekends, we hit the jackpot with yesterday’s weather. The light was golden and I couldn’t have dreamed of better conditions…or subjects. We met Kara and Sean at Jennifer and Christian’s wedding in November down in Williamsburg. Luck would have it that Kara and Sean live just around the corner from us! Photographing their boys was was such a hoot. You wouldn’t believe what funny sayings Liam comes up with. I think Trevor may have added to his collection….something about a dog in the water. You had to be there (wink). I quickly found out that Jack does not like to be followed by the paparazzi and he has no trouble telling you, but I know he doesn’t think I’m so bad because he ended the session with a big lovable hug! Thanks for a great day at the park!

I really loved this moment!

Sitting is out of the question…so they run!

A great moment with Sean and Liam

Trevor is coaching them to walk around the corner, holding hands. As you can tell by Jack’s position, he’s ready to book it!

On Maternity Leave

I know…what does it matter? I haven’t been posting much lately anyhow. As you can see, we’ve been taking it easy these past months and although I miss weddings terribly, I’m glad that Trevor and I had this time to enjoy together and prepare for Baby Hawthorn. He’s officially due on Monday, the 23rd (sandwiched between Trevor’s 2/22 birthday and my 2/24 birthday). This could be interesting! Anyone that has been pregnant before knows how uncomfortable the last week is and so I’ll be resting, reading, waiting…oh, did I mention that I’ll be resting? I should still be e-mailing, but who knows when baby will make his debut so forgive me if it takes a moment to get back to you.

We are not accepting weddings this spring, but we are excited to continue and expand our family and baby coverage as soon as I’m back on my feet and ready to roll! I have a new website in the works and I’m really hoping to get that up not too long from now, but I’ll definitely post here when I do. So, thank you everyone for continuing to e-mail me and sending your wishes and love. We got nothing but love for ya, too! See you soon with pics of our new family!

XO,

Kim and Trev

taken at 36 weeks

August…7 days old

Meet little Auggie. He’s not ours. I’m still very pregnant, but not for long! Staci was terrific. Not even expecting to be in any pictures, she gladly posed with him and doesn’t she just exude beauty?

The Wine Kitchen is open!

Yesterday afternoon we had the privilege of photographing a newly-opened wine bar of one of our favorite past clients and friends. The Wine Kitchen is now open, right in the heart of old Leesburg at 7 S. King Street. It’s unlike ANYTHING in the area. I expected to shoot for about 30 minutes, but the warmness and relaxing atmosphere makes you want to stay there forever…and I did! Truly – you gotta go. It is the PERFECT date spot or even to catch up with friends. Heck, I’d drink by myself if I weren’t pregnant. Needless to say, we are so proud of Jason’s huge success!

Also, Staci and Jason expecting next month!! What a year for the Millers! Congrats on everything!
