Welcome to my blogsite!

Yep, it's now a blog and a website all rolled into one!  I found that my "formal" website was just not getting the love and attention it deserved, and most of my work there is very outdated.  So, the solution?  The blogsite!

Thanks for stopping by, and don't forget to subscribe via RSS reader or via email - both options are available above!

The San Diego County Fair

I have heard that the San Diego County Fair may or may not be serving up CHOCOLATE COVERED BACON this year…

“Two, please”.

Unfortunately, my camera is resting comfortably at the Canon hospital, so I may or may not be able to capture this fine moment tonight.  And yes, I AM planning my culinary path through the fair.  God Bless the Internet.

Trish - lurking and waiting for your foodie review on fair cuisine

Suzie - Well?

Bacon-lovin' Kelly - Chocolate covered bacon?? And I thought Chicken Fried Bacon sounded like a good idea... (it wasn't). Please be sure to report back!

Just my kid…

I actually have a section (category) of this blogsite for “my kid”.  And, I realized that I haven’t posted anything recently.  Grandma MeMe will be proud of me for actually posting some of her Princess D.

Kim Porter - Ok, I think I fixed the comments section for you! Let me know if you see any other issues!

Trish - She definitely has your beauty and I can already tell she is going to inherit your sense of humor. Love those last shots on the slide. P.S. So your site let me "leave a comment", but I am not able to view comments unless I leave one. (You said to let you know!)

sis-in-law - What a beautiful Princess D she is turning out to be.....

Suzie - What a beauty of a little girl! My mom thinks she looks more and more like you every picture that she sees!

My sister…

… makes me want to be pregnant again — ALMOST.   On second thought, I think it might actually be better living it all over again through her eyes.   Love you Coco, and your little belly too.

kt - beautiful.

sis-in-law - Love the belly. Coco congrats on your soon to be addition. Kim you really have captured her glow.

Trish - So beautiful.

Suzie - My little beauty of a sis...can't wait to see the little munchkin...another great job, Kimmage! Love ya both! S

Otter Pop Question??

Ok, enough photography crap.  Let’s get down to brass tacks.

WHY DOES a blue or green Otter Pop make you cough your brains out?  Come on, fess up.  You KNOW what I’m talking about.

Let’s discuss.

janet - Why do they do that? I remember that from having them as a kid...hmmm...

Your Hubby - Thank God, I thought I was the only one that had this issue with Otter Pops.

Suzie - That last comment was from me, by the way! Love ya, S

Anonymous - Okay, first of all...love the new look! Second...do you only find it with the blue and green ones?? There is something quite interesting in those things that do cause a little coughage!

Sis in law - I still need to try one of those pickle pops. I could see how those would choke you cause of the salt. But I have no clue whats up with the green or blue pops but I agree they will choke you for sure.

Some Successful Mini-Sessions!

Had a great time with the families that participated in my first mini-sessions last weekend.  The turnout was great and I think I’ll probably be making it an annual event!  Here are a couple of my favorites.

Johanna - Kim these are great! So happy the mini sessions went well and you did such an awesome job, I think you should do them twice a year! :) These kids are cute!

Suzie - Great job, Kimmage! Must have been fun!

Sarah - Kim- You're awesome! I adore the pictures (especially the one of Tanner with Violet). I swear I've been trying for a year+ to get a picture of the two of them together smiling. I would've even been happy with the two of them with both of their eyes open. You have totally captured their little expressions perfectly and it was so quick & easy to do. I also love that little serious face on the girl in green- precious! Thanks again!

Trish - Yay! I was hoping you would post some pix from the shoots! I just love that backdrop! All of the kids look adorable - I love the outfit choices from the other families!!! Such a fantastic job, Kim! And ty, Shelby for the comps on R:)

Shelby - AWESOME shots. And look at R with those balloons! Such a beauty!

sis-in-law - Looks like fun was had by all. Love them as always.

Some beachy fun!

I had the pleasure of shooting a fellow photographer and her adorable family last weekend!  In addition to being a Mom and a photographer, she’s also an awesome designer!  So, if you need a logo, a template, or any other design work, check her out here.  Heidi wanted some good ol’ San Diego style beach photos, and I hope I was able to do them justice.  I have to say, that 2 and 5 year old boys were definitely kept me on my toes (as you will see below).  I don’t know how she does it!

Look at this awesome couple!!  Can’t you just tell that they have cute kids together?

Like this one?

And this one?

We started with some cotton candy for the whole family

This little guy was WAY into the cotton candy.  So, while it was a good idea “in theory”…

Now, I will confess that some shots looked like this one:

But some didn’t.


Kim Porter - That is SO awesome to hear some props from a fellow photog, so THANK YOU!!

Sis in law - OMG....Amazing as always. I truely think you not only captured the beauty of the family but also that bit of San Diego they wanted. Way to go Kim!!

Heidi - Ahhhhh! I really like these!! Can't wait to see more! :) Thank you!

Bridget Homer - Hi Kim - I am really close friends with Heidi and her beautiful family and also a fellow photog up in Nor Cal. Heidi has been an amazing mentor to me over the past few years. Anyhow, I just wanted to say that I absolutely LOOOOVE her pictures! Oh my gosh, they are just beautiful! My favorite is Heidi and Sean, and the family in front of the carousel. Picture perfect! :) Just had to say what a fabulous job you did! I think I might need to give you a call and book a session! :)
