The Vominator

Doesn't she just look so sweet and innocent?
Well, as we all know...looks can be deceiving!
We went to see Kim for Addie's 3rd Birthday Pictures back on Addie's Birthday - December 31, 2009.
As many of you know, Kim is very special to our family and knowing that she is there to share in our special day with us each year, means so very much to us!
The week leading up to Addie's Birthday was so very difficult and we had to decide if we were going to continue on with our tradition of seeing Kim or not.
In addition to that, Kim was sick too, but in the end, I had to go on with the appointment.

There came a point when Kim decided we would bribe Addie with smarties (watch for updated header - from Diana - with Julien, Addie and the smarties coming soon).

Right smack in the middle of picture time, Addie got sick.
What a precious Kodak moment.
It was in Kim's studio and we were totally unprepared for the moment.
I was however, very pleased with how Kim and I improvised and then finished up the session.
Once again, Kim managed to come through for us by capturing sweet pictures of THE VOMINATOR and her sweet big brother!
If anyone is looking for a fabulous photographer who can withstand whining, fussing, mess-making and vominators and still manage to capture the beauty of your family - give Kim a call!
We think the world of her and you will too!

Celebrating Nine Years!

My sweet girl had a very busy day! We spent the day by having lunch at one of Addie's favorite restaurants, then I took her s...
