Two little cuties...

Today I met with some of the CUTEST sisters ever! Their mom owns a local children's boutique...and they showed up with the best outfits I think I've ever seen. It was very overcast so we met at 12pm.

I just adore shooting at the railroad tracks and the urban feel of the other two locations. Miss J is 5yo and has the most amazing red hair and an equally amazing personality. She was a little natural in front of the camera. Her little sister was just a bubbly little thing -- which mom said was unusual for her when cameras are involved, ha ha.

Her are a lot of previews from our time together. I have so many favorites already...and I haven't even finished going through them. C, I hope you love them as much as I do!!

Presidential Debates Today....

They are having the presidential debates today in Myrtle beach...and THIS is what I see when I step out my door, lol. How cool is that?! Can't say that I'm voting for Ron Paul....but pretty dern cool nonetheless! Added a shot at a 100% crop to show that there is actually someone looking down on us, HA HA HA! Pardon the snap shots...we had just gotten home and my son was screaming MOM, MOM you have to see this - bring your camera!Click to see it bigger....he looks like Ziggy in there, lol.Can you say LOW? This shows just how close they were to the top of the pines!

Oh to be 18 again!

This afternoon I met with Miss L. It was nice and overcast so we decided to meet at 1pm. Welllll, as I got in the car to drive to meet them...the sun pops out. So much for the nice overcast day, lol. We wanted to shoot at the rail road tracks...but had to move to a different location with shade. We used two of my new favorite locations! L is SUCH a beautiful young lady - and these images prove it!! I have posted an overload of previews...I just can't decide which ones I love most, he he.

Thank you L for taking advantage of my PB special! Hope you love them as much as I do~

TTD trial run...what fun!

This afternoon I did a trash the dress trial run. A $20 wedding dress was purchased from eBay...and one of my best friends got trashed, ha ha ha. We had a tough time since the only time she could meet with me was pretty much high noon. Needless to say, the sun was NOT our friend. We did our best to find shade and ended up in a hotel parking garage and their kiddie pool. Poor thing, even though it was in the mid 70's today....the pool was FREEEEEZING!

We will be doing another run at a later date when we can meet at a better time.
Until then, here are a few previews from today....

12 days old...

Here are a few previews from a reshoot I did with little Miss K today. This time I brought along one of my giant softboxes. We only spent about 2 hours together...but were able to get a good many more than last attempt. She was STILL wide awake the entire time though, ha ha.I just love this capture...ha ha ha!A little help from her big brother B!!

Goodness me...It's already 1.2.08!!!

Goodbye 2007....Hello 2008! As usual, I'm late with my blog post, lol. Momma always told me that I'll be late to my own funeral. Each and every one of you made 2007 a great year for Natalie Kimball Photography. I can hardly wait to see what 2008 has in store! I have to thank my family for sharing me...as my job takes a lot of my time away from them. They have been very supportive and I am blessed for that.

You will be seeing a few changes this year! Some of you already have seen the new website. It is totally awesome if I do say so myself ;)! If you haven't already....take a moment to visit the site. There is a Frequently Asked Questions section that I hope will be helpful. I am in the process of updating my portfolios. You can also see how the new galleries/shopping cart works by viewing my "featured gallery". This will change frequently so be sure to check it out! I would love to receive some feedback - so do let me know what you think!

Wishing everyone a very healthy, wealthy and Happy New Year.

Family...

Well, it was not the prettiest day for a session. It was very dark AND raining. We tried our best to get through the session but had to cut it short. What a great family this was -- they just took it all in stride. I on the other hand was doing all that I could to keep my camera from getting wet.

Here are a few previews from our soggy time together, ha ha ha.

Welcome to the world!

Congratulations to M and J on the arrival of little Kaylei! She arrived on December 21st exactly a week after out maternity session. The funny thing is, her son B was born about a week after his maternity session too. We joked today about how that worked out. So I suppose if you are wanting to have your baby sooner than later....just schedule a maternity session with me, ha ha ha!
We decided last minute to do her newborn shoot today. K was wide awake the entire time I was there. I think we will schedule another newborn session for the first of the week and pray that she will be a sleepy baby, he he.

Here is one of little K peeking out from behind a blankie we had her wrapped up in.
