One of my favorite families was in last week – adding baby #2 to the mix! I’ve shot Melissa’s two maternity sessions and both babies now and it’s always so great to be able to watch families grow. Melissa and Corey are amazing parents and their kids are just a joy to be around.. and CUTE too!
03/09/2010 - 9:08 AM - Love, Love, LOVE Them!! Thanks Kim!
03/09/2010 - 9:19 AM - LOVE LOVE all the pictures!
This little sweetie came in at the tender age of 2 months… exactly. We determined that it was her 2 month birthday on the date of our photoshoot. When she arrived she was as snug as a bug and sleepy as they come. She woke up bright eyed and pretty much game for anything! A very happy baby… and it was a very relaxed session. She has her mom’s beautiful long eyelashes… boys 18/ girls 1 (for long eyelashes) and big beautiful eyes. Mom and dad should be very proud parents, she is absolutely adorable.
02/27/2010 - 6:48 AM - These are beautiful Kim! I LOVE that first one...and the one with mom is soooooo sweet.
I’m heading downtown to take in some Olympic festivities! We are so excited! Thought I would post this pic I took in honour of the Olympics before I go!
02/13/2010 - 9:08 AM - Love it Kim! The future is BRIGHT!!
02/13/2010 - 1:07 PM - soooooo awesome!
02/16/2010 - 5:35 AM - kim, that's so cute!!
Whew… what a week, what a day… I am SO glad it’s Friday tomorrow. I had the pleasure of waking up this morning to a computer that had NO images on it. Now this is never a good thing when you are a photographer. Fortunately, I have a wonderful computer guy and a Mac that backs up my entire system every hour… so it was just a matter of getting everything back onto the main computer. It took the entire day so I cleaned my studio while I waited and it’s nice and sparkly now. Everything for a reason I guess…. cause cleaning was the last thing on my list but it really needed to be done!
So, here are some images from last week. A sweet little baby boy who loved his sleepy time – Keiden, born January 8th and he came all the way out from Langley to visit me. I love props brought from home and mom and dad brought some good ones – a guitar & case, some wooden words, funky pillows (which looked fab in the studio). It’s always fun to have something different to work with to create some unique images that’s for sure!
I had the pleasure of shooting a sweet, sweet family last week…Janine, Lauren & Piper for a family/maternity session and we did a headshot for Janine too while we were at it. (I just love that she knew exactly what she wanted! I’m all about multitasking and just getting it done too – a girl after my own heart.)
What we didn’t expect was the misty meadow that we shot in… it made for some really beautiful lighting and effect…. and I was in my glory, I wanted to camp out there for the whole day. We had so much fun. Piper was so cute. She wanted Janine to tickle me… and make me laugh, just as I was trying to tickle her.. to make her laugh. Such a smartie and a good little girl!
I have so many photos that I love…. so hard to pick… these are so random though.
02/09/2010 - 9:31 AM - Beautiful. Where is this?
02/09/2010 - 11:35 AM - WOW and BEAUTIFUL are the first word that came to mind when i saw these. :)
I am just jumping ahead right now…I had a crazy week of non stop shooting & I’m enjoying a much needed rest today even though it’s hard for me to take a break when I have so much to do; but my daughter was singing with her school at the Olympic Torch Celebrations and of course I had to be there. I just had to sneak down to “grab something” out of my office… wink, wink. I just can’t wait another moment to share this image from a session I’m working on…. and will hopefully blog the rest in a couple of days. There was a mist in the field as we were shooting…. it was heavenly….
02/08/2010 - 5:44 PM - Kim, that is a beautiful image! I look forward to seeing more!
I’ve been on a shooting marathon the last 3 days starting with this wonderful family from Langley. This is our second session together. The first time I met them, they were a family of 3 – now they are a family of 4. Parker the newest addition, now 6 months old.
Now, if you have kids that are this close, you know that it’s busy! I shoot a lot of siblings at this age and I have been through this stage myself with my own kids and it is crazy time let me tell ya! I’m taken back to a period in my life when my kids were little and we would go on vacation and expect that they would behave better than when we were home… ummmmm ya – didn’t happen. I believe photo sessions are no different for parents.
So moms.. you need to know that your kids are right where they need to be.. they are all the same and some day they will sit next to each other and smile at the camera. Until then, we’ll embrace this time of their lives and document their glorious, pouty, sweet, silly little selves….
02/04/2010 - 9:24 AM - What a good looking bunch! Great photos!!
02/04/2010 - 10:25 PM - Wow Kim! You capture my family in a way that no one else can. We can't wait to see the rest!
02/06/2010 - 11:19 AM - I was just called away from cleaning my stove.... you made me cry, your work has captured the heart ties within this family. Kim, you have been honoured with a gift and you are using it to preserve the beautiful in life.... love... it is written and your skill, your vision, has been shared. bless you for sharing
02/07/2010 - 6:51 PM - Nan.... that is probably the most profound comment that I've ever received and it brought me to tears..... thank-you.
I had a comment from someone last week saying that they always thought that these were models on our website which kind of surprised me a little bit, because I don’t shoot for a magazine or anything… I’m just shooting boudoir. But wow! What a compliment. Honestly, most of the woman that we shoot are moms between the ages of 29 & 49. I had an email come in yesterday…. asking me how we get photos like this. It’s a combination of make-up, lighting and just the natural ability to seek out the beautiful attributes of a woman and record them. Everyone is beautiful.. and while you may not see it in yourself… I do. And husbands…let me tell ya… if there is one thing a husband doesn’t mind spending money on, it’s a session with The Beautiful Woman Project because it is every man’s dream to have a hot sexy mama living under their roof and sleeping in their bed.
Here are some photos of a beautiful mom that I just shot a few days ago… these vintage shots are done during the day so we can use some natural light too so if you’re planning a session and you like the vintage look you’ll want to plan for a daytime rendezvous.
01/30/2010 - 3:12 PM - Beautiful shots!!:)
01/30/2010 - 3:36 PM - Kim! Wow!!! That's not me!!! LOL Well, obviously it is... but, Wow! Thank you so much... I think they're amazing!!! You did an absolutely beautiful job! <3 Thank you, again!!! I can't wait to see the rest ;) hehe Amazing! <3

I just had to post some of these…. this is the first 12 pages of a 40 page album that documents Cohen’s First Year. This is going to be a 9×9 Dream Album that comes as part of Baby’s First Year Package where we do 4 sessions in a year – generally maternity or newborn, 3 months, 6-7 months and babie’s first birthday, complete with a cupcake… . Albums are my passion and I just love designing and watching them come together… sometimes they take me awhile. I find that I’ll be designing and I’m just not feelin it… so I’ll have to let it go and come back to it in a day or two with fresh eyes. I know I’m creating a work of art when I start getting an emotional attachment to them – this one is going to be hard for me to give up! These albums take me hours, so they are not cheap; but they are worth every cent… they are gorgeous and will fill your heart with joy every time you open it. (The 4 session baby plan is $2000.00 and includes 4 sessions, a gorgeous fine art coffee table album, online galleries and a $250.00 print credit.)
01/28/2010 - 9:00 AM - These are great!!
Woohoo a baby is on the wayl!! Congrats! I always like to keep my maternity & newborn sessions priority because this time is so fleeting, but my schedule is filling up fast these days (which is a good thing right??) So, please don’t wait until the last minute to schedule. We have moms reserving their spots for September and October right now, so if you are preggers and you know you want photos, please call now so that we can put your name on the schedule and make sure a date is reserved for you! (A $150 Retainer is due to secure a flex date)
