The L Family....

This afternoon I met with the L family - 13 total (and not all L's, lol). Oh my goodness, I know I say this every session...but they had some of THE CUTEST kiddos!! We started shooting around 6pm and kept shooting until sunset. Holy Cow, it was one of the most beautiful skies I have EVER seen!

I had a lot of fun with you guys today! Here are a few previews (ok a LOT of previews) from our time together~Didn't I say it was a glorious sky??!! I did very little post processing on this one - that's really what it looked like!

My little girl...is not so little anymore!

Sydney, my little girl, is a month away from turning FIVE! I soooo can't believe how fast she is growing up. We went out in the yard a few days ago to get some pics for her birthday invitation. We had a lot of fun...however, she's so NOT into the camera, rofl.

Here are a few that I captured (and LOVE). I had plans to get her a different outfit for her birthday pics...but this is what we had at the time. A mini-tutu, a black shirt, thigh high Halloween tights and a spooky tiara, ha ha.

I did a bit of texturizing on some and really like the way they turned out. Not my typical style...but for the occasion, I dig it!

The R Family....

Yesterday afternoon I met up with the R family at my North Myrtle Beach location. There were 8 of them total...and two of the cutest little boys! It was quite bright when we started but there were a few dark wispy clouds over the ocean. The sun finally dropped below the closest hotel and provided us some very nice shade. The wind was whipping down on the beach...but luckily none of the women had very long hair, lol.
The little ones seemed to either (a) love the pinwheel spinning in my hair trick or (b) just thought I was a crazy woman, lol. Whatever it was, it worked!

I really enjoyed working with you guys! Here are a few previews from our time together~

The E family...

Tuesday afternoon I met up with the E family (after we both did way too much driving, ROFL)!

We were scheduled to meet at my North Myrtle Beach location. I arrived there at 6pm - and received a call from Mr. E, who said they were there. No one there but me, lol...so we quickly figured out that they had driven to the wrong location *ack*. I had driven 30 minutes north and they had driven 30 minutes south -- so we passed each other somewhere along the way.

We finally met around 6:45, had a good chuckle and hustled down to the beach. Let me tell ya, that sun set SO QUICKLY - we had to work super fast - and with a 15 month old that didn't like me very much, ROFL! It was literally pitch black as we finished up our session.

Here are a couple of previews from our time together - you will see just how dark it was!

Wow...I've been MIA!

Holy cow, I didn't realize how long it had been since I posted on my blog!

The kids started school -- my daughters first year (it's been tough, yet awesome). Her first day I had an anxiety attack, lol. It has been almost 10 years since I haven't had a child in my house all day. Now, it's just me...and my work, lot's of it too!

I had a session this past Tuesday and it should have been up here already -- I will be posting the previews very soon. I've had orders coming out of the wazoo and that has taken up a great deal of my time. I have a new splash page up for my website. It will now allow you to decide where you want to go: my site, my blog or NKSeniors. It also has my contact information so I can be easily reached.

LOVE...how sweet it is!

This afternoon I met with a beautiful couple in Cherry Grove! They will be getting married in October -- in Ohio. We managed to get the session in despite all of the rain surrounding us. It actually ended up being a GREAT day for photographs. There were nice big clouds over the ocean -- which I love! Nice crisp day with no humidity and a slight breeze.

You guys were so much fun to work with!! I wish you much love now and in the future!

The F family...

This afternoon I met with the F family at my North Myrtle Beach location. Oh, the weather was PERFECT! Lighting was great, slight breeze, low humidity and a GREAT family! There was Mom and Dad and their 2yo and 4yo. The kiddos weren't too much into the whole "posed" family shots but we got some cute ones anyway, ha ha. They preferred the au' natural candid shots -- which I loved! The reflections we got today were spectacular -- something I strive to get during all my shoots.

I really enjoyed meeting and working with you guys! You are a beautiful family and I hope you had a great vacation! Thank you for choosing Natalie Kimball Photography!

The M Family...

This afternoon I met with the M family at my North Myrtle Beach location. It was Mom, Dad and their 2yo and 4yo. It was VERY bright when we started! It can be quite difficult to judge the weather/lighting this time of year. The sun is setting faster and it can be a clear sky with no clouds or overcast and dark!

We played for a little bit and finally the sun dropped below the closest hotel and gave us some shade to work in. The kids were a little hesitant at first and wanted to be right beside Mommy. Towards the end of the session they finally got used to me pointing my camera at them, lol. I've skimmed through what we got and think we got some great shots!

Thank you guys for choosing Natalie Kimball Photography! I enjoyed meeting and working with you. Here are a few previews from our time together~
