This has probably been the longest I’ve been away from my blog since it began…and with good reason. “New” things are happening here and it’s not necessarily photography-related. We’ll fill you in later. Until then, have an awesome summer!
Love,
Kim and Trevor
Last year, Trevor and I volunteered to photograph a wonderful series of community concerts called Broadlands Live. Most of our pictures were of the band and candid moments of the audience. This year, we’ve been invited back…but we have our own booth! Families can visit and we’ll take a family portrait or even just pictures of their children or pets. We had our first concert this past Friday and it was a blast. What could be better than to sit by the band, eating great vendor food, and taking pictures! July is going to be awesome!
We had the delight of photographing our old neighbors and friends, the Booths. The weather has been hot, hot, hot and just unpredictable. We finally got a bit of a break last night so we headed out to the park for a mini-shoot.
and his little brother. Happy 1 year!!

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.
We’re leaving just out of town to shoot another awesome wedding! See ya next week!
Mother’s Day was a little different this year with my parents in Texas and of course Trevor’s parents live in California. Memere, my grandmother, was alone this year so we took her out for an old-fashion Mother’s Day brunch in town. The food was excellent, but with four courses you know I had to bring leftovers home! It was a really cold and rainy day so we ended up going back to my grandmother’s to play a few rounds of Uno. I finally won a game, but the champion of champions is JJ! The next time we go to Vegas, I’m packing her with me. Here’s a shot from JJ’s camera:
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.
What does this mean for my first family portrait marathon? (fingers crossed)
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!
