Slacking Terribly!

So I have a confession that is clear to any of you that come on here... I STINK AT THIS BLOG THING! I decided from day one that I didn't want this blog to be so personal and all about me, and in return I never write, which really defeats the purpose of this... so I'm going to make a better attempt at keeping a little more on top of this! Having said that here's a little update... well since November and my last post! oh boy I'll tell you the short version. November I hosted my first annual thanksgiving dinner at my house, with my family and my in laws, and it was quite a success... hense the first annual... back again next year.
In December I had a few events of which you can check out. Ally's batmitzvah, and Danielle and Dougs wedding at the Saybrook Point Inn, which had some interesting events, most importantly the JP never showing up, thankfully they had a friend there who was qualified! We got some great photos both inside and out.
In January I had a few more batmitzvahs which are always a good time, it's so funny to flash back to that age and feel like a kid again!
I also had an engagement shoot for an upcoming bride and groom, although a cold January day, the weather seemed to cooperate and we got some awesome shots... check out Kristen and Paul here.
I also had quite a few baby shoots all of which are so adorable. I have a new client who has an adorable daughter who was one of the most cooperative babies I have worked with. Check out Danielle and Greg's daughter.
There is another family who is very special to me that I started photographing in the start of my career in 2002. The little boy was the "first" baby that I photographed, and I continue to photograph their family a few times a year. After having 2 boys they finally had a daughter, but that didn't stop us from putting her in the good old yankee uniform... how cute is she?
I also photographed Katies daughter who again was such a jem, and such an amazing personality for a little one!
During all this I still am coaching Track and Field at Cheshire High School, where this year we won our SCC division, and our Housy Division, all which were great accomplishments for my girls!
And to top off the 2007 season, on December 28th I was introducted to my beautiful niece and god daughter. She was 10 lbs. 4 oz 22 inches long, with jet black hair and beautiful huge eyes (still not sure of the color other than REALLY dark) Click here if you'd like to meet her!
And finally, my parents are moving out of the house we grew up in... after 18 years, they are selling and moving on, at the end of this month, 410 Wallingford Rd will no longer belong to us, although bittersweet, along the bumpy road the end of 2007 gave my family I took on a new meaning, and realized that a house is just that, it's what is inside, the laughter,the love, the family and the memories that make a house a home, and it doesn't matter where that house is as long as the ones you love are in that home. I hope this new home is filled with all of that, but more importantly I hope it's filled with many many more amazing memories in all the years to come.
That's all for now... I will keep up though, so let me know if you are even out there reading this or if I'm just doing this for my own well being!
Have a great afternoon!

Crazy Time of Year

What a crazy time of year November is... with all the holiday portraits and the rush to get the weddings done and ordered before the holidays, if anyone is ever looking for me... behind the computer is a sure spot to find me! As the majority of wedding season has wrapped up I have been hard at work trying to get those out the door and get the portraits under control... check out my children's page to see how many I just finished today... yikes!!!
http://www.kimberlylynnphotography.com/Children/children6.htm
There will be many more to follow so if you're interested, keep your eyes posted. I have also finished one more wedding since my last post which you can view... http://www.kimberlylynnphotography.com/weddings/100607/index.htm
I loved this wedding because it was the first time back to the Goodwin Hotel since my own wedding and it was great to see Jorge and the staff and just the beautiful place again, I really do love it there! Melissa & Chris had a beautiful day, super hot and super sunny but we went to the beach anyway and took some fun photos in an old truck and over looking the water.
Tonight I had my sister and her husband and their dog Maddie over to do some holiday photos... what a trip! This dog is a puppy boxer and is absolutely adorable but so wound up... my poor Maisey couldn't keep up with the punches Maddie threw or her energy!
Well off to bed so I can get another full day of retouching in tomorrow. Hope some of you could enjoy a day off today!

Keeping Busy

I really can't believe that we are approaching the end of October! The wedding season is coming to an end, only a few more left of the season, what will I do?! Don't get to concerned just yet I'm sure I will have plenty of things to do to keep me out of trouble!
This weather is crazy these days, wonder if we really will have a fall or just go straight to winter, either way the folliage is beautiful and I have been out shooting quite a bit of weddings, families and children to capture it all!
Some updates you should check out:
Missy & Johnny's wedding just went up this morning: http://www.kimberlylynnphotography.com/weddings/093007/index.htm
This wedding was in New Jersey at one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen! It was thousands of acres of botanical gardens, you could have spent all day photographing there, unfortunately we didn't have that kind of time, but we did have time to capture the beauty and happiness of the couple and the grounds... take a look.
As always this time of year is filled with family and children portraits... check out the site to take a look.
The holiday seasons are usually filled with "Portrait Parties" which is a great way to have your childs photo taken in a casual, enviornment, with props of your choice. Basically every child has 15 minutes with me to photograph him or her in the comfort of the host's home. These typically work out very well and everyone seems to have a good time. If you would like more information on this please feel free to email me! kim@kimberlylynnphotography.com
Back to work, keep checking for updates!

So much to share!

I haven't posted in a while...you have to love the fall, double headers of wedding and sunday's filled with portraits, needless to say I've been busy and very hard at work here! I have had several weddings each week which have all be fun and beautiful in their own ways... and all of which are keeping me behind the computer whenever I'm not behind the camera.... having said that there is a lot that you can check out on the web!
First of all Robin and Nick's wedding is up (and has been but I never posted about it). Their wedding was at Rocky Neck State Park... have you ever been? It really is absolutely beautiful, the building itself was amazing, all brick and over looking the water... not what I expected for a "pavilion". Moving a long.... I also have posted Alison and Matt's photos from September 15th. Before we headed to the Glastonbury Hills Country Club we went to Elizabeth park where we were able to grab some great photos... check out their slide show...http://www.kimberlylynnphotography.com/weddings/091507/091507.html
I'm actively working on Missy and Johnny's on September 30th so check back shortly to see if that is done!
On the portrait side... check out the families page for all the new updates there... still plenty more to come as I have a few a week, sorry it's taking me a bit to post for those of you who are patiently waiting, I hopefully will have them up shortly! http://www.kimberlylynnphotography.com/families/index.htm
Now it's time get back to the retouching world! Hope you enjoy what is posted and more to follow :)

Kylle & Will's Engagement Photos

I had the honor of photographing one of my best friends engagement photos in Boston a few weeks ago.
Kylle and I have been the best of friends since 3rd grade, and have remained friends ever since. Both Kylle and Will live in Boston, so it was a perfect location for the shoot. They are planning a September 6th wedding in a home away from home in Martha's Vineyard, a spot very special to Kylle and her family.
Since I am in the bridal party I will not be able to photograph all of their wedding so doing their engagement was very special to me.
We are all super excited for the wedding and all the fun festivities leading up to it.
Hope you enjoy the slide shows!

Erin and Dan are done!

I just finished putting up the slide show for Erin and Dan, what a cute couple and they just had so much fun both before and at their wedding. Sandra assisted me today, focusing on the guys who were also a lot of fun, be sure not to miss her slide show. Erin is so adorable, she had so much fun doing the pictures and I had a blast photographing her. She has such a contagious smile and she was a blast to work with. Their reception at the Farmington Club was beautiful, aside from the upsetting rain storm, the day was absolutely perfect! Check out their slide show

Kacey Rose

I just got around to put up Kacey Rose's slide show. My little girl, who next week turns 2, who is fighting for her life to beat the terrible disease of Cancer. She is the most adorable child who to me lives life like every other 2 year old, but what I don't see is the daily trips to the hospital and the monthly stays that she encounters while she fights for her life.
She is the strongest little girl I have yet to meet and she is such a joy to photograph, she has a spunky personality and wishes nothing more but for me to leave when I'm there, and some of the photos show that. She really is just a hoot.
As she undergoes her treatment, I ask all of you that are reading this to keep her in your thoughts and pray for her and her family that she may fight this disease soon and live a "normal" healthy life like every 2 year old should.
All my thoughts are with the family.
Kim
