Freakin' Fun Shoot

I absolutely HATE being in front of the camera, but I have to admit that I actually had fun during this shoot yesterday! I thought maybe it was the chance to wear some of my favorite pairs of shoes... but really, it was the chance to hang out with a friend who made me feel comfortable and let me just be myself. Thanks, J*, for bearing with me yesterday (I'm seriously amazed that you got some decent shots of me). ;) You are awesome! xoxo, Kimberlee

I'm so excited to use these images in some upcoming projects... especially the shoe shots. I really wanted something fun and original - and something that will show my clients a little glimpse of who I am. And Jasmine captured my vision Perfectly. Like with a capital P. *CLICK HERE to see the rest of the images from my fab photo shoot. (PS, Jasmine Star is the most amazing wedding photographer in Orange County - and she also just launched a brand new website, so you'll have to check it out!)

I just wanted to share a quote I read recently from the book "Do You Think I'm Beautiful" by Angela Thomas. This book really struck a chord with my heart, and I wanted to share a portion of it here:

"Our thinking has been shaped by junior high taunting, unflattering words from people we love, magazines in waiting rooms, cosmetic counters at the mall, the big screen and the little screen and now the computer screen- all teaching us how to think as the world thinks. I mean, how can we not buy in? After twenty or thirty or forty years of watching and reading and listening, we’ve really believed this stuff. Essentially, we’ve been brainwashed. Wrinkles should be injected. Breasts should be augmented. Muscles should be ripped. ... For heaven’s sake, where is it written? Where is it written that what the world calls beautiful is correct?”

Every woman's heart whispers this question: "do you think I'm beautiful?" And the answer is a resounding YES! Yes, you are beautiful- just as you are! Just a little something to think about. Check out the following videos from Dove...
