NEW BLOG!

Yes, it's true... my blog has a brand new home. I won't be posting anything else here, although I am going to leave it up & running in case anyone is interested in reading any of my old posts. Go check out my new one! (CLICK HERE!)

Finally!

I've had this project on my to-do list for about 2 months, and I (finally!) forced myself to take a little time away this week to work on finishing up my new blog! I'm pretty happy with it, and can't wait for you all to see it... so - check back tomorrow! I just arrived back home to San Diego, so I will be catching up on emails and phone calls today. And to my amazing clients, thanks for your patience the past few weeks with the craziness of my travel schedule. :) I will be posting tons of images from my recent shoots on my new blog in the coming weeks... so if you're wondering if I'll be posting some, the answer is yes! I've been waiting to post my recent shoots because I wanted them to be displayed on my brand new blog. (yay!)

Chinatown

My favorite part about walking around Chinatown yesterday was hearing my dad chat it up with the people we met on the street. Take, for example, the wrinkled old man selling lychee fruit on the corner... I just loved watching his face light up with a huge smile as my dad busted out his near-flawless, near-fluent Mandarin. (Ok, so I don't speak Mandarin and therefore can't really be a judge as to the fluency... but it sure sounded great to me!) I have such a rich family heritage, and I know that my family has played a huge part in giving me this passion I have for traveling, cultures, and languages. My dad was born and raised in Taiwan, his dad was raised in Ethiopia, and my great-grandparents on the other side of my family lived several years of their life in Africa. There must be something in my blood, because I'm already itching to head overseas again! This week of vacation is making me realize how very blessed I am to have such an amazing family. San Francisco was great - just one more day in Monterey, then headed back home to Socal (such a quick, whirlwind trip!)

My favorite man

The best part of this week of vacation is that I get to spend so much time with my family! I'm especially excited to spend some quality time with the most special man in my life... my little nephew! ;) I just love this guy.

Road Trip!

That's right - gotta love long car rides with the fam! :) My parents are here in CA visiting, and that means that we all get to take a road trip up to visit my little bro in Monterey. And then a sight-seeing trip to San Fran (I've never been!) It's gonna be fun. I will have access to email along the way, but please allow up to 48 hours to get a response from me. Thanks!

Congrats to the Newlyweds

Nicci and Ryan, your wedding was absolutely beautiful; thank you for letting me be a part of your day! Hope you have an amazing honeymoon... can' t wait to show you the rest of your pictures! Love, Kimberlee

New blog coming soon...

Ok, so I'm SOOO very excited about the launch of my new blog! It should be ready next week, so make sure you check back. On my way to the rehearsal dinner right now for my friend's wedding, and then tonight we're going to see the 2nd biggest fireworks show in all of the US. Happy 4th, everyone!

I love airports!

Is it the people-watching? The fact that I love to travel? The excuse to just sit with coffee and read a fashion magazine without feeling guilty? There's just something about sitting at an airport that just makes me feel so happy! Here I am at Lindbergh Field in SD, getting ready to head across the country for my first visit to Nashville. I've heard it's an awesome city, so I'm excited to check out all the sights. Plus, I'll be shooting a wedding for a dear friend of mine who lives out there. Can't wait! To all of my lovely clients - I'll have limited email access the next few days, but I'll be responding to all emails next Tuesday. Also... stay tuned -I've got something coming soon (I'll be announcing it tomorrow)!!!
