a family affair

admin — Sun, 06 Jun 2010 01:10:05 +0000

I had the joy and honor of being asked by my friend Kelly to photograph her wedding at her home. She wanted something small since it was her second wedding and only wanted the 5 kids, her, her husband to be and a minister. It was a pleasure to meet their family and it so much fun to photograph them. The said their vows on the front porch of their beautiful home and even as the rain fell they continued the ceremony without worrying about getting wet, that’s just the kind of people that they are. Laid back, easy going and no frills. Love that! Thanks guys for letting me be a part of your wedding and I wish you and your awesome family the happiest, healthiest life with lots of love and good times. Something tells me you won’t have a problem with the good times.

Blessings.

Our strawberries are coming in and we couldn’t be happier. We managed to pick a few that the birds haven’t found first and enjoyed eating them right off the plants. My daughter is especially in love with strawberries and since she is the pickiest eater around I consider myself a pretty darn good strawberry grower if they pass the test by her. I hope spring is bringing you much joy and your ready for summer. My kids are done school in 11 more school days and I couldn’t be happier. I miss them and look forward to summer swimming, going to the beach and sleeping in!

Till next time take some time to enjoy the strawberries!

Spring has sprung.

Whoa. I never thought I’d get back on my blog again. Life is crazy and it seems it goes by so quickly anymore. I can’t believe how long it’s been since I’ve posted. Anyway…..I had the opportunity to photography Samantha for her senior photos a few weeks back. We lucked out with 80 degree weather in March and ended up with some amazing photos. She was so easy to work with, brought outfit changes, was willing to try anything and even laid on the ground amoungst spiders! You go girl. Thanks Sam for allowing me to capture your personality. I truly love doing senior photos. It brings me JOY!!! Enjoy your photos.

let it snow…and snow..and snow

Wow. I’ve been LAZY on the blog front. I have to admit I sort of hibernated for winter and have some fun things in the works for my photog business and I have been putting my energy into that. Hoping with the arrival of spring I will be able to start fresh with my photography business too with a new logo, new blog and new ideas. Now….here it sure is cold and snowy. We got a total of 3 feet of snow in the last couple days. Yesterday’s storm was 23.3 inches in my town, in 24 hours. Crazy amounts of snow but the kind of snow I remember as a kid. Was very fun for the kids and great for photos!! I took these yesterday during the heavy part of the storm. Enjoy them. I can’t wait till spring.

Stay warm.

Imaging USA-Nashville 2010

admin — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 00:53:40 +0000

Oh wow. I am exhausted but oh so inspired from Imaging USA in Nashville this past week. We met tons of new friends and I had the opportunity to meet up with some of my bestest photography girlfriends. I love getting together with these girls and sharing secrets and taking photos. They are really one of the best little blessings of my life. We spent the days listening to some amazing speakers and attending the convention for lots of cool ideas and free stuff. I love me some free stuff!!! I learned alot about myself this past week and I can’t wait for what the future holds for my business and my life. Here are just a few candids from the convention!! See you next year in San Antonio!!!!

The Boudoir Diva’s. LOVE THEM!!!

My photog friends. (heart) them.

Yep…..we found Becker. (of the [b] school.)

and no trip to Nashville is complete without the purchase of some rockin’ boots!!

Thanks Nashville I hope we meet again soon. I love that town.

Bye ya’ll,

hug them tight

I am going to try to blog more in 2010. I promise. I’m inspired by other photographers who use their blogs like they should be used, to document their life with photos and narrations. I’m going to do that….

I promise not to worry about the quality of the photo..or if the lighting is “just right”. I promise to capture more photos of my kids and blog them.

On that note we happened to hear a story of a young 7 year old girl from our church named Charlotte. She is in a coma and her little 7 year old body is being put through things we can’t imagine as they try to save her life and decide how to best treat her. As I sat in church this morning holding my daughter who will soon be six I thought what an unbelieveable thing to have to go through as a parent. I can’t imagine anything more devastating than to watch your child suffer and not have the means to “fix it”. Being a nurse I know what Charlotte’s body is going through and the angst her parents must feel being at her bedside. I hugged my daughter a little tighter. I told her I loved her…I thanked God for my kids and I prayed for Charlotte with the rest of my church family. If you have a moment today, hug your kids and tell them you love them and say a prayer for Charlotte. Nothing in this life is a guarentee…..take nothing forgranted.

Blessings.

Happy New Year

admin — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 21:39:31 +0000

It’s day 2 of 2010 and I couldn’t be happier. I’m ready for a new decade. A fresh start. I love the beginning of the year and I’m secretly happy to see the holidays go. It’s so stressful. January is a month of birthdays in our house with 3 out of 5 of us celebrating this month so it feels like Christmas anyway around here. New changes are coming to Kimberly Donohue Photography with a new logo, new blog, new design and new products being offered. I’m so excited to take my business to a new level and ready to give my clients fresh ideas. I’m headed to Imaging USA in Nashville next week and I’m hoping to come back with some new and fabulous ideas! Now….

I had a photoshoot today (in 25 degree temps and 15 degree wind chill) and this gang was very willing to brave the elements for a few outdoor shots. Thank you!! I have known this family for 30 years…..yes 30 years and they have become good family friends to my parents and my siblings. I appreciated the opportunity to photograph them today. It’s always fun hanging out with old friends and catching up while working! Can’t beat that!!! Here are a few shots from today. Enjoy the sneak peak!!!

Cheers to 2010!

a girl and her horse

admin — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 19:41:29 +0000

I had the pleasure of reconnecting with Steph via facebook and she and I enjoyed Kenny Chesney together and she asked if I would take photos of her daughter for her senior pictures. Steph lives on a beautiful piece of property and owns horses so of course we took the opportunity to take photos at her house. Her daughter is absolutely beautiful and truly was a joy to photograph. Here is just a few of my favorites from our session together. Enjoy them.

brothers

These two sweet boys were so much fun to photograph I actually had a stomach ache from laughing during their session. Their Mom is super cool and really made taking their photos easy and fun. My photog friends all know how parents can make or break your session no matter how cute the family is! We found ourselves all over their house playing, talking about movies and even outside. Thanks Julie and Jim for allowing me into your home for the morning. I had a great time meeting you and hope you like the photos of your handsome boys.
