We are very excited to get outside and do some sledding tomorrow before it gets to be 50 degrees next week and it all melts again. The studio is looking very colorful with all the beautiful spring clothing that we have been so blessed to be able to photograph. I love being able to dress my little girls up like dolls and put prettys in their hair!! Here are a couple sneak peeks of what will be coming out this spring. I simply adore this new Easter outfit that Miss Amelia is wearing - so sweet with a touch of vintage. It's from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/GurlyGurlCouture/163886930326790?ref=ts">https://www.facebook.com/pages/GurlyGurlCouture/163886930326790?ref=ts</a> Also this season I am seeing many fun bright colors like this outfit from Emma Nicole Designs. Check them both out and support their businesses!! <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/EmmaNicoleDesigns1?utm_source=OpenGraph&utm_medium=PageTools&utm_campaign=Share">http://www.etsy.com/shop/EmmaNicoleDesigns1?utm_source=OpenGraph&utm_medium=PageTools&utm_campaign=Share</a>Kimberly Van Sistinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03728645006119482048noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975164381116384258.post-78580140311998678542012-01-17T15:29:00.000-06:002012-01-17T15:29:00.642-06:00Olivia<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCeIOgfn1I12B097SPOwSoiIcMrtcbgN8-PEfvPvlVxmAvm5Tg2PM62rSGJC5aCYTJi9eV6PgfaoCFZk836hSZ6LDXercsufikX3TL77EPMySmp9NfIzdoo8as7qqW7_Iuz0AGZiZbawM/s1600/olivia+with+loving+family+dollhouseDSC_1011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="536px" kba="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCeIOgfn1I12B097SPOwSoiIcMrtcbgN8-PEfvPvlVxmAvm5Tg2PM62rSGJC5aCYTJi9eV6PgfaoCFZk836hSZ6LDXercsufikX3TL77EPMySmp9NfIzdoo8as7qqW7_Iuz0AGZiZbawM/s640/olivia+with+loving+family+dollhouseDSC_1011.jpg" width="640px" /></a></div><br />

She is nearly 10 years old and her favorite toy to play with is her "Loving Family Dollhouse" which she saved up and bought with her own money. When she asked me for a dollhouse I thought oh goodness she is not going to want to play with this for very long. She purchased it last May and she still gets it out nearly every day. For Christmas we got her some accessories and even my mom said "is this for baby Amelia"? LOL!!! Nope, that's for Olivia and she is going to love it!! I am so proud of my big girl!!! Last night we were looking up classes that she can take at the "Y" and she is interested in the babysitting one. I can't even believe that I have a daughter old enough to take a babysitting class!!! She is so excited about it and is so good with her baby sister. I was surprised this morning when she took Amelia to have her diaper changed and got her dressed. My oh my time sure goes by quickly!!!Kimberly Van Sistinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03728645006119482048noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975164381116384258.post-83228344064592478842012-01-14T22:27:00.000-06:002012-01-14T22:27:47.724-06:00MovingSo, I am finally admitting that we are going to put our house up for sale. *sigh* There I said it. I was in denial for several months especially since we built our home 8 years ago and simply LOVE it here. I love the lake and I love the woods in the back. Our baby girl was born at home here and I have watched our girls have so much fun playing in the snow and swimming in the lake. We decided a few months back that it would "make sense" for us to get closer to where Rich works and the christian school that our girls attend. I love being home all day, but also feel guilty making everyone else travel so much. So we already had someone ask about our home and it's not even on the market yet. I dont' know how I am ever going to get it clean enough for someone to view it. My goodness it's hard to organize EVERYTHING!!! EEK. The plan is that by spring we will be moving into a rental property until my hubby builds us a new home. This is a lot to gear up for since I have moved so many times before. In the meantime I will be seeing a Lymes specialist to see if my icky bugs are all cleared up. I like to think they are, but the numbness in my right arm and pain in my hand may be telling me differently. I am going to keep my head up high and get ready for the next journey in life. I have learned that life is certainly a journey and with God on my side I can get through it. <br />
<br />
Before you know it spring will be here and the new clothing lines have all ready been coming to be photographed!! I simply LOVE to photograph clothing!!! I gives me a great excuse to photograph our little girlies and in such beautiful clothing!!! I am so thankful to all the designers that have been sending their treasures my way. Such a blessing!!! Thank you!!!!<br />

After all the laundry was folded, put away, dishes were done, and bedrooms were straighted up we thought it would be fun to have a little tea party. Miss Amelia likes to bake in addition to having tea so we also made a fun cake and just relaxed together. Sock Monkey was able to join her for just a bit and then she decided to push him away and enjoy all the tea for herself!! LOL!!! I just LOVE being a stay at home mommy.

Well, it is January 1st so we assumed it would have started snowing weeks ago. The girls have one day left of their winter break and we joked that it would snow on their last day. HA!!! They got new sleds for Christmas and would really like to start using them, so we will see what the weather brings for tomorrow. It was so sweet this morning when Miss Amelia looked out her window and started pointing and shouting "SNOW" so when I said do you want to go outside??? She was like an excited puppy running for the door. The cool air took her breath away and she just loved it. She stood in one spot just totally amazed at it. Here are a couple pictures I captured of her in her enjoyment.Kimberly Van Sistinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03728645006119482048noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975164381116384258.post-34376355906955186262011-12-27T21:48:00.000-06:002011-12-27T21:48:47.542-06:00Merry Christmas!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-doItbZrCTEM/TvqQObLTX8I/AAAAAAAAAio/fDDY698c_r4/s1600/DSC_0010.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="228px" rea="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-doItbZrCTEM/TvqQObLTX8I/AAAAAAAAAio/fDDY698c_r4/s320/DSC_0010.jpg" width="320px" /></a></div><br />

For the first time in 9 years I took off the entire month of December, despite the fact that it is one of the most profitable months of the year. I really wanted to spend time with the family and not biting my nails on Christmas Eve waiting for someones order to arrive. We had such a great time making cookies, candy and playing with lots of toys. I was able to take my time decorating the tree and reading books to the girls while we admired it. I am looking forward to developing wonderful relationships with all of our 4 little girlies!! Remember to hug your little ones and tell them how much you love them - often!!Kimberly Van Sistinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03728645006119482048noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975164381116384258.post-53966653588363658932011-11-27T22:49:00.000-06:002011-11-27T22:49:01.787-06:00Life can be crazy<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN8zRd5KPfTW7MpUSYIG9rk81C_-qpyn855zujHL4nojumUSMkGjv-Sa3dbb93dbtr6LwExlBU530vDH-qebeEbkqbNNepjLUdiAfLRFZzY517_WNAiUxs5DvzxAgVBYxAiXCesT7lkFs/s1600/DSC_3279cropped.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" dda="true" height="228px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN8zRd5KPfTW7MpUSYIG9rk81C_-qpyn855zujHL4nojumUSMkGjv-Sa3dbb93dbtr6LwExlBU530vDH-qebeEbkqbNNepjLUdiAfLRFZzY517_WNAiUxs5DvzxAgVBYxAiXCesT7lkFs/s320/DSC_3279cropped.jpg" width="320px" /></a></div>Well, I bet I could be the worst blogger ever!!! And the silly thing is that I really like to do it!!! Life sure has had it's share of craziness lately. In September my life changed a bit when I got bit by a mosquito in my backyard and that darn bite never healed up. While on a shoot with my friend "Stacy" she noticed my big honkin bite and asked what it was. Being that it was on my back I had kind of forgotton about it and didn't think a lot of it. Well, the next day it had a bulls eye ring around it and everything started to go downhill from there. A few weeks later I was diagnosed with Lymes Disease. I was in such denial that I could have gotton Lymes from a mosquito!!! So many crazy things were happening to me though like during a photo session my foot swelled up and turned purple for no reason!!! Then my right thumb started to hurt and my arm went numb. After having my legs go numb for several days I thought I better get this looked at. Well, my assumption was that I would take some antibiotics and life would go on as usual. Ummmmmmm, not so much. I had several days where I could not get out of bed because I hurt so bad and was sooooo tired. I could sleep for 7 hours during the day!!!!! Who has time for that with 4 small children and a coming into the busy photography season??????? Certainly not me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I pushed it as long as I could and then I had to start cancelling shoots and get some rest. I simply could not get better. Then after about 6 weeks of hell my pastor decides to spring it on me at church one Sunday that he would like to have everyone at church pray over me. YES!!! I will take that!!! He has never done that before, but felt totally led to do it during that service. This was after I could not get myself out of bed for 7 days. During the service I felt really HOT and the next day my pain was GONE!!!!!! It was a miracle!!!!! Praise God!!!!! I have felt well since that day a few weeks ago. I have a very strong Faith in God, and yes in the back of my mind I do question....is it going to come back???? I now have to get re-tested for Lymes and also any co-infections that I may have contracted from that darn bug. The part that makes me a little sad is that I also have to get my baby Amelia tested because I was nursing at the time and there is talk that it can pass t hrough breast milk. EEK!!! I will never forget that horrible night when I had to start treatment and also stop nursing all at once. Talk about emotions running wild!!! Man oh man, that was tough. Makes us who we are today though. After going through all that I am ready for my big blessing, I know that God has big things in store for us.

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I had SOOOOO much fun shooting Miriam's senior pictures last week!!! The sun was shining and it was a beautiful day!! She was so excited to drive out to her favorite apple orchard so we made arrangements and hopped in the car for a fun adventure. Since I am a bit ADD I simply could not just drive straight there, we found some fun walls to shoot by and of course had to stop for a coffee. We found the cutest coffee shop in a small town not far from my home. I would like to visit them again. :) I could not believe that Miriam brought this awesome bike with her!!! She rides this around and I LOVE it!! I just had to jump on and ride it around a bit before letting her have her pictures taken on it!! LOL!!!! Good thing she was getting her pictures taken because I was not looking too lovely!! Hee hee!!!</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Now that my kiddos are back in school (3 of them anyway), I need to get crackin and get these pictures proofed. I have been overshooting lately since I have been having so much fun!!! Thanks Miriam and your Wonderful mother for making my session such a blast!!! So fun to work with them!!!</div>Kimberly Van Sistinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03728645006119482048noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975164381116384258.post-34293682062882059332011-08-02T21:58:00.000-05:002011-08-02T21:58:13.117-05:00Amelia's birthday<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKceR80A54FZx-hPL6sRm4EzJ3AOVkgpYOZBanuV3mlvgLH1btBCwhtcVUL2CB4fGNn9Sdr8Zap77-2B8OYlBfaR-uW4y2RjmdrRUox-pLG6vAG-fiwtxgxTJgfpxsGqbaCZQHKdDJHKA/s1600/amelia+cakeDSC_2482.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKceR80A54FZx-hPL6sRm4EzJ3AOVkgpYOZBanuV3mlvgLH1btBCwhtcVUL2CB4fGNn9Sdr8Zap77-2B8OYlBfaR-uW4y2RjmdrRUox-pLG6vAG-fiwtxgxTJgfpxsGqbaCZQHKdDJHKA/s320/amelia+cakeDSC_2482.jpg" t$="true" width="320px" /></a></div><br />

I have been busy enjoying spending time with our 4 girlies this summer so blogging has been on the back burner. I don't know how so many people have time to blog everything and post so many pictures, time goes by so quickly that I am working out a balance of getting everything done. I have limited my shooting hours this summer and am so thankful that I have. In years past I was so busy that I would look at the girls and think "where did that summer go"? Someone once said to me, you really only have 16 summers with your children and then they are so busy with friends and work. Well, Oh goodness I better enjoy what is left since Miss Olivia is 9 already and before I know it she will be off to college. My goal this summer is to work enough to pay for the girls christian school. It's quite a commitment, but also so worth it. I still have a ways to go so if you know anyone debating a session please send them my way and I would truly appreciate it!!! Enjoy the few pics of Miss Amelia and I will really try to post more later!!!!

I just LOVE shooting high school seniors, they come with their fun clothing and creative energy. It's a time where we can jump in the car and see where we feel led to go. I don't usually plan their session until they arrive and often times will stop the car because I see something new - funny how I didn't see it the day before. As the lighting changes things start to look different and clothing just looks great with different colored doors and backdrops. Here are some recent shots of "Danielle", she is so beautiful and I had a great time working with her and her family. It seems like yesterday I was photographing her brothers senior pictures - where on earth does time go???? I love when families come back as each child grows older.Kimberly Van Sistinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03728645006119482048noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975164381116384258.post-83642928075654059462011-05-24T21:49:00.000-05:002011-05-24T21:49:33.715-05:00Flowers everywhere!!!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEmq-QjMxDAjgvz4N36c4nyjtIHzcLAWZKCbvvf69yY5WHf1SmytYVzQQSIaXRYawvmm8YOwMipBVCgrxBujnSf3LyUh1GGi29QgKpivGyA456CBqZk0XAp6lzVqN5ArPgm53SPpDF5-0/s1600/frameStacy+shotIMG_9786%255B1%255D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEmq-QjMxDAjgvz4N36c4nyjtIHzcLAWZKCbvvf69yY5WHf1SmytYVzQQSIaXRYawvmm8YOwMipBVCgrxBujnSf3LyUh1GGi29QgKpivGyA456CBqZk0XAp6lzVqN5ArPgm53SPpDF5-0/s640/frameStacy+shotIMG_9786%255B1%255D.jpg" t8="true" width="456px" /></a></div>I had so much fun going to our local apple orchard today to shoot some super pics with my great photographer friends. I love this orchard, they are the nicest people. I have been going for 9 years now and get so excited about our 1 week a year of beautiful blossoming flowers. Today we were remembering that 1 year ago I had a big mama baby belly and this year we have our beautiful little Amelia. The picture I am posting was taken by my great friend Stacy, she does such a great job!!! I simply LOVE her! We are going back again this week to get some fun images with my friend Jennifer as well, because if any of you remember we were pregnant together and did some supercute shots on our vintage bikes. Here is a quick peek of me and miss Amelia from this afternoon.

After finding out about her tummy infections several weeks ago we changed her diet and have her taking several supplements. (very yucky I must add). Within a short time her eyes lit up and her dark circles started to dissapear. I thought we need to get a special outfit for Miss Claudia and do a fun photo shoot. I never knew why her eyes were so dark when I was proofing pictures of her in the past and had no idea she was allergic to so many foods because of what was going on inside. Here is one of our bright eyed little beauty from today. I would love to write more, but my tired eyes just are not letting me.

For the past 7 years she has had a tough time with so many things. She could not focus, did not understand what you were asking her to do, would often scream and most times would say "my tummy is making me do it". We never understood what that meant, we thought her tummy hurt because she was feeling nervous. When we started to see a lot of sensory issues such as not wanting to wear certain clothing and then screaming that her hands felt sticky we knew something else was up. We assumed she had Sensory Processing Disorder after working with an Occupational Therapist. We started to see a chiropractor to help with her nervous system and it did make her feel better for a while, but when we had to stop seeing her because it just did not work into our budget anymore she completely fell apart. Over the past 6 months Claudia started to go down hill FAST. Mentally she was really struggling and I knew that something neurologically was not right. At times I wanted to check her into a hospital or myself into a mental ward. It was very hard on the family to listen to her screaming ALL the time. No one wanted to watch her or take her places because it was just too hard. It completely broke my heart. Well, I finally had an answer to prayer and met Dr. Flynn in Green Bay who knew exactly what was going on and while we waited for the test results to come back he put her on 4 supplements and we changed her diet. We have seen huge improvement and she is actually able to sit down and read with me. Yesterday afternoon we got the test results back and poor Claudia has very nasty infections all throughout her intestines, and we don't know how long they have been there. She is very inflamed and her body is not absorbing any nutrients - the bugs in her tummy are getting it all. Her immune system is compromised and her ph balance is very low. I am so thankful to have some answers and am thrilled to be getting some meds to start the healing process. We are praying that God will provide the resources needed to continue getting her the help she needs as this all came together at a time when we have no health insurance. You do what you have to do for your little ones though. I am planning to take on more sessions so that I can help cover medical expenses as I know it will be worth it in the end. I am so thankful for her smiling face and am thrilled by how often I am hearing "I love you mommy" these days. I can't wait for my little girl to feel like a happy little girl!!!Kimberly Van Sistinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03728645006119482048noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975164381116384258.post-658835089304547752011-04-19T22:12:00.000-05:002011-04-19T22:12:07.952-05:009 years later<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQegDGPCdMXYAdaTNIia_kgL9r8TPEPplLcddPuPAESc4ADh7a7NLM8rFaeLMyRh55vBJVJW_KQZrYNXFDkfMCEUswb1M2AtH9dzrj5zET2SaTyt0vOt3_H1dt_XfA4QoEZVJDhSvhVt4/s1600/vint+summerDSC_4895.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640px" i8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQegDGPCdMXYAdaTNIia_kgL9r8TPEPplLcddPuPAESc4ADh7a7NLM8rFaeLMyRh55vBJVJW_KQZrYNXFDkfMCEUswb1M2AtH9dzrj5zET2SaTyt0vOt3_H1dt_XfA4QoEZVJDhSvhVt4/s640/vint+summerDSC_4895.jpg" width="456px" /></a></div>I can't believe our little Olivia just turned 9 years old last week. It seems like yesterday I was pregnant with her and I looked at people with 9 year olds like they were in a whole different league than me. I was going to have a newborn!!! Now here we are 9 years later and we have 4 little girlies. WOW!!! Who would have thought. It also occured to me that in only 9 more years she could be going off to college and there is that chance she could move away and start her own life. Oh my, when I mentioned this one to Rich it just blew his mind. We had to sit down and have a long talk about what is important to us and what we want to do with our girls before they are all grown up. Life is too short to worry about how clean your house - it just doesn't matter. I don't want to spend my nights rushing around from one thing to the next or each morning yelling "let's get going you are going to have another tardy"!!! My focus is to have peace in our home and family. I want to take the time at night to get the house put back together, make sure lunches are packed, clothes are layed out and in the morning have some time with them no yelling. We did this today and our girls were so much happier. Tonight instead of plopping on the couch I went outside and played with them and really looked at them in the eyes. We ended the night reading a chapter book and drinking tea. I like days like this because I can go to bed feeling good about being a mommy. I know every day won't be like this, but I would really like there to be more of them. That's what I want our girls to remember. I want to smile more and enjoy every moment.Kimberly Van Sistinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03728645006119482048noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975164381116384258.post-88224442517477343442011-04-13T14:22:00.000-05:002011-04-13T14:22:22.489-05:00Sweet Funky Vintage<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGS_tsUtqTZPJM_l5THciD07oJNjA7J-bYozDo3EEfnn1xpYMI0hCA-I4vWEhBFgmPdsus0oKKCH-rrO7bNiAv_F_8f1y13vYU0mBfbkOoOIOD2qfCyR_9l3e88DG95X1HYGXU4MJ20FQ/s1600/Trunk+show+april+2011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGS_tsUtqTZPJM_l5THciD07oJNjA7J-bYozDo3EEfnn1xpYMI0hCA-I4vWEhBFgmPdsus0oKKCH-rrO7bNiAv_F_8f1y13vYU0mBfbkOoOIOD2qfCyR_9l3e88DG95X1HYGXU4MJ20FQ/s640/Trunk+show+april+2011.jpg" width="492" /></a></div>I am so excited about the trunk show that we will be having here at Kimberly V Photography next Thursday afternoon. I am just setting up the display for Sweet Funky Vintage and the clothing is ADORABLE!! They have supercute boy outfits, girls and also ladies. Finally some cute boy things for those parents always searching for a little man outfit that is supercute! I decided to try something different this time...when you come to the trunk show feel free to bring your kiddos and I will take their picture wearing the clothing for FREE!!!! How cool is that?????? I figure if you are coming to try things on anyway you may as well get a nice picture. I am attaching the flyer for you all to peek at and I will need to know that you are coming so I can be better prepared. If for some crazy reason you just cannot make it on Thursday, but would REALLY like to see these treasure send me a message and I will arrange for a private showing.Kimberly Van Sistinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03728645006119482048noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975164381116384258.post-81290672955223444422011-04-06T12:01:00.002-05:002011-04-06T12:01:29.963-05:00Baby Amelia<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Where did 9 months go??</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQyGeO7ZVP-F7x6ecxq2GzcUB_m_Tym3JvX1agcV8LptS-xHWCnhMNsUhy_mfjclovOcpEARx0cXkon95ouX2dqR4E-9OCmB_sFYUJJ75tmiyA7v9OpKJJHiQHY2532-mrKPP9KHpKoPY/s1600/Order12x12Make+My+Skin+Perfect+Working+Image.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="251" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQyGeO7ZVP-F7x6ecxq2GzcUB_m_Tym3JvX1agcV8LptS-xHWCnhMNsUhy_mfjclovOcpEARx0cXkon95ouX2dqR4E-9OCmB_sFYUJJ75tmiyA7v9OpKJJHiQHY2532-mrKPP9KHpKoPY/s320/Order12x12Make+My+Skin+Perfect+Working+Image.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Kimberly Van Sistinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03728645006119482048noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975164381116384258.post-30750652258591045122011-04-01T20:22:00.000-05:002011-04-01T20:22:29.108-05:00Heavenly Newborn<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSHJ9WNnZk9YxVq6F5iQ9Pjl2Ct-KUmcBi8_AZSdl-spQtfNDPnJ4InvwRRicd8H5gwjD5TFaFsj9MD2aorYP976fG9aViGJidmEMbHULrk4XnRZUqtWRPbDGp0KffSR7q0k2JVhyphenhyphenDqP4/s1600/emailbaby+Avery-Vertical.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSHJ9WNnZk9YxVq6F5iQ9Pjl2Ct-KUmcBi8_AZSdl-spQtfNDPnJ4InvwRRicd8H5gwjD5TFaFsj9MD2aorYP976fG9aViGJidmEMbHULrk4XnRZUqtWRPbDGp0KffSR7q0k2JVhyphenhyphenDqP4/s640/emailbaby+Avery-Vertical.jpg" width="476" /></a></div><br />

I spent the day shooting with my good friend Kim Larson - she is AWESOME!! It was sunny and warm and we had a great time walking around the city looking for brightly colored walls and fun textures to use as backdrops. We thought it would be fun to bring along the flip video so we could share with you what goes on while trying to photograph young children. :) These are 2 of my girls Olivia and Naomi modeling some new pieces from Gocks Frocks. (while baby Amelia watches and cheers us on from her stroller) This is my first time loading a video so please let me know if it works!!! I am also attaching the image we created during this shoot.

My girls had a blast putting on these fun skirts and crazy fun hair accessories. I could't even sleep the night before because my wheels were turning as to how I was going to shoot them. I decided to rearrange my bedroom since I have wonderful afternoon light that comes through. My hubby was enjoying having to move our very heavy king size bed and bring baby Amelia's dresser in. LOL!! It was so worth it though - I just LOVE these pics!!!! Stephanie has been the most FABULOUS person to work with as well - I just LOVE her!!!

After reading a book on making your dreams come true I got inspired and just had to do this. Well, only a few months later I am so excited to say I just completed my first catalog!!!!! Last night I finished shooting the picture for the back cover and today while Amelia was napping I was able to finish desgning the very last page!!!!!! The catalog is for </span><a href="http://www.jessiegirlclothing.com/"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Jessiegirlclothing</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> and the dresses and skirts are ADORABLE!!! Feel free to contact Vicki to get your own copy!!! It went to the printer today so it should not be too long and she will be mailing them out.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">Oh, and also I received the most WONDERFUL package in the mail today from <a href="http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/La-Couture-Amore/129203460471687">http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/La-Couture-Amore/129203460471687</a> and I am in just awe!!

Oh goodness I need things to warm up so I can get outdoors to do some shooting. We are heading to Denver, CO next week and so I am thrilled to have some sunshine and warmer weather. The past couple of weeks I have been working on the new spring catalog for Jessiegirlclothing that should be finished up in just a few days. Last night we shot the cover photo and I later realized my little Naomi had a fever!! Such a sport, she was still smiling so she could get ice cream. I explained that we had to put the ice cream on hold until she was feeling a bit better. The other girls had no problem jumping in and filling their bowls though.

A friend of ours from church had some old treasures behind his place and is willing to let us take some fun images there. I think this will be perfect when it warms up a bit to bring out some baskets of fresh flowers. Today it was 29 degrees, but we wanted to check it out before the 13 inches of snow come our way - yikes!!! Claudia was quite a trooper to let me take these pics, I just had to pay her $1 per outfit. Quite a bargin. :)Kimberly Van Sistinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03728645006119482048noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975164381116384258.post-55942253536747058242011-02-18T22:09:00.000-06:002011-02-18T22:09:58.443-06:00Sister Love<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUh5GzRdQoXoHj2Lmdq8C1z-C9S6R2Z72SB9O-Yd_iBnyseWf_y37QQqgUJt2RN-QTWguIVoEFCfxYz88ZZkSvL-q7UDfPmKZGoyWeUh_-mAICYnQqdOukuatmRVsiH8HJ2suyxjEtm6M/s1600/bordermaccDSC_3042.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" j6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUh5GzRdQoXoHj2Lmdq8C1z-C9S6R2Z72SB9O-Yd_iBnyseWf_y37QQqgUJt2RN-QTWguIVoEFCfxYz88ZZkSvL-q7UDfPmKZGoyWeUh_-mAICYnQqdOukuatmRVsiH8HJ2suyxjEtm6M/s640/bordermaccDSC_3042.jpg" width="512" /></a></div>I just love how much our girls love each other. It's amazing how much joy baby Amelia has brought into our family. Everyone loves to spend time with her and helps out so much. I was worried about having a 4th child and how hard it would be, its wonderful!!! She gets so excited when they walk in the door after school and everyone runs to hug and snuggle her. Such a gift.Kimberly Van Sistinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03728645006119482048noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975164381116384258.post-43973800812398313752011-02-18T22:05:00.000-06:002011-02-18T22:05:02.155-06:00Claudia<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj11ObUJ4Z-8U4LsSzfVI3X44-_u0nLiW-xxn-ssYtFEQY1xMMwgdGogzJay010_byIpTNg-HxWfnhfMXjdWXbXn_hBPGwgl_bAu7atm5UUSXnCWUNVz8lLq1C030jWGHRqXrjsCCvLXNU/s1600/claudia+10x13DSC_3038.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" j6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj11ObUJ4Z-8U4LsSzfVI3X44-_u0nLiW-xxn-ssYtFEQY1xMMwgdGogzJay010_byIpTNg-HxWfnhfMXjdWXbXn_hBPGwgl_bAu7atm5UUSXnCWUNVz8lLq1C030jWGHRqXrjsCCvLXNU/s640/claudia+10x13DSC_3038.jpg" width="492" /></a></div>Here is one of Claudia that I just loved. She has such pretty eyes when she smiles. She is so full of compassion and LOTS of energy. A total night owl like her mommy. :)Kimberly Van Sistinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03728645006119482048noreply@blogger.com0
