How did it get to be September 23rd already?

As the title of this blog states I can't believe it's almost the end of September already. How did that happen? Both of my boys are back in school... and am back to working on several of those new projects I had put off until the far off fall... notably my new line of cards. As it happens I read Mark Twain's autobiography over the summer and fell in love with some of his quotes. One thing led to another and let's just say I went a little quote crazy. So... I will put this out there... if you have a favorite quote for a card... please send it to me and I will look to put it to use!

First things first... I shot a beautiful wedding at St. Mary's in downtown Stamford. The bride was beautiful... the groom was handsome and the flowers by Stamford Florist were amazing (www.stamfordflorist.com) I'll let the pictures speak for themselves:

beautiful boutonniere ... from Stamford Florist...

Groomsmen helping each other out... I love it...

Even the horses seemed happy... is it my imagination or is that horse posing?

Also, I had some great new photo shoots... one with a cutting edge author:

Kaihan Krippendorff

This was a photo shoot for the book jacket photo for his new book:

"Out Think The Competition"

As well as a wonderful family portrait session with Corina and family:

This is our friend bear... who often helps us sit up...

or in this case he looks to be giving advice...

One last thing to post this morning as I attempt to catch up... my new greeting card line... they are matted and mounted 4x6 prints... beautiful quality photographs and ready for sending or framing. I sell them as is or six to a box and will have them on my www.photographsbykimanderson.com website any day now... or in time for the holidays! They are really fun as gifts...and don't forget to send me your quotes! I currently have about 180 images but here are a few examples:

How time flies...

Wow, wow... how time flies when you're having fun. Just thought I'd do a quick re-cap concerning my photo adventures over the last month. Since I've been expanding my wedding and event business my subject's have been varied and I've had so much fun being on my creative toes... so to speak. I've done everything from senior portraits to beautiful new babies... a CEO head hunter and an actual wedding or two! Since a picture is worth a thousand words... I'll  post a couple of highlights here and stop typing.

Victoria & Nicholas

(otherwise known as Vicky and Nick)

I had so much fun photographing this wedding... and as usual I could post picturs all day! I can never pick out my favorites... it takes me forever so I will show some self control and stop here... but if you want to see more I have posted them on my wedding and event site: http://www.aboutyouweddings.com/
Thanks Vicky and Nick for letting me share in your beautiful day!

Beautiful Anna

Again...I could post images from this shoot all day. Even baby Anna crying was adorable... not that she cried that much... but what a cutie.

Beautiful Alexa

 Alexa & her Mom...

Alexa is a senior... going off to college next fall and wanted to have a portrait done with her mother... how fun is that? No Alexa... your mother is not going to forget you... but great job... they ordered a beautiful 16X20 wrap around canvas and I'm sure it will be a beautiful reminder of how important we are to eachother as we move on and through life.

Easter Bunny Day at Kaleidoscope!

There exists a love hate relationship between small children and large fur clad adults... as any parent will tell you and it's almost impossible to predict which side of this debate your child will take at any given moment. When my son Will was about three we were at an event where he threw himself around the legs of a large walking Easter Bunny and wouldn't let go... much to the chagrin of the other children waiting in line. We kept having to pry him off the fur clad legs so the Bunny could move about without falling. On the other hand, when smiling Mickey Mouse came up to us in Disneyland our sturdy four year old fled screaming in the opposite direction, who knew?

Such was the case yesterday at Kaleidoscope... where it was an afternoon of fun and mayhem. Parents and children alike endured the storm... and gathered around  the lap of the Easter Bunny. Very brave bunny! It was fun... and despite a few moments of trauma... we wound up with adorable portraits. Thanks to shop owner Suzanne... and her team for a memorable event. I recommend if you haven't been to her store of treasures you "hop on over" and check it out. http://www.kaleidoscopekids.com/

"Baby Year One Plan"

Okay... it might have been my charming personality or maybe the banjo music playing in the background... or just the fact that this little sweetie was having a great day... but look at these faces! I'll put in a plug for my "Baby Year One Plan" ... it really is a terrific way to make sure that you capture each stage of this all too quick phase of their lives. I specifically keep it priced very low and give you many options for prints and print packages so you can decide what works best for you and your family. BTW this was his second in a series of four sessions where he is just sitting up he seems to know he's doing a great job... Thanks for a great session...
