Running around with my head cut off!!!

Yes, it's been an intense week, thus not much posting. I'm trying to get everything done before I leave out of town for A WEEK!!! Ahhhh!!!!

So this post is to let you know that I am going out of town until Tuesday December 11th and will not have access to email and phone, so please be patient if you need anything until we get back. All orders that have been placed prior to today have arrived and we are mailing them all out today, so you should receive everything in the next couple of days.

If you need prints done please order through Pictage as we will not be able to get them done until a week from now.

I hope you all have a WONDERFUL week!!!! I'm off to a real vacation with my hubby tomorrow morning and will be trying to get last minute stuff done this morning!

Christmas Cards

Well we've been crazy busy working on Christmas Cards lately, but I have to let you all know that tomorrow is the deadline to order cards and get them in time for Christmas. We will be on vacation all next week and we won't be processing any orders, so all orders must be placed by tomorrow!!!

Below are my wonderful sister and her families cards. I love them!

Ben is growing up!

A few weeks back I got to go to Ben's house and see him and his family! As I have said so many times, I love seeing the Robinsons. I did a baby's first year session for Aaron and now we are working on Ben's sessions. This was his 2nd session and he did pretty good! What a cutie!!!

And of course Aaron and the family had to get in on the action! Aren't they the cutest family ever?

Brother Love!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

I just wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! I am about to head out to Tucson to spend time with my wonderful family!! I'm so thankful for all of you!!!

Have a wonderful day!

Fun times with Jennifer and Nick

So, last year Jamie and I photographed Jennifer and Nicks engagement session in downtown Chicago. We had a great idea to stop off at the apple store so that we could take some pictures of all 4 of us. However, the pictures never got emailed to me for some reason so I have never seen them. Well yesterday Jennifer found the pictures on her computer and emailed them to me!!!! So I finally got to see them and I had to blog them!!

I think one of the most fulfilling parts of my job is to be able to become friends with my clients. I love it that I can stalk their blog or email them at random. It makes my job fun! Jennifer and Nick are one of those couples that Jamie and I will always be friends with! I love it.

Cute Cute Cute Kids!!!

Wednesday I photographed 2 of the cutest girls ever. We had so much fun running around taking pictures and they even came up with some of their own places and poses! Gotta love that! They are 2 of the smartest little girls I have ever seen; they were telling me all about the Desert landscape and all the plants... I was amazed!

I got a ton of great ones but here are some of my favorites!

Aren't they the cutest?










This was Talia's idea.. her pose and location.. I thought it was very creative!!:)





One of my favorites.















They were trying to catch a bunny rabbit.. I thought this was so funny!















Look at those beautiful eyes!









And again, a horrible picture of me and totally out of focus, I have to work on these kind of shots, but I had to include it because I love it!!

Thanks so much for capturing our special day. We are couldn’t be happier!

PUG Meeting

I have an unbeliveable community of photographers who surround me in Arizona. Every month we all get together and socialize, learn, and eat!!! It has become something I look forward to every single month and I don't know what I would do without these people in my life!

We are called a "PUG" Group, (Pictage user group), and it is made up of a ton of Arizona photographers, some who use pictage and some who don't.

Lately we've been meeting at my studio and I love that I can open up my place. We are averaging about 20-25 people and it's great.

Yesterday I got to do a studio spotlight and share about my studio and all the things that have happened over the last 5 years... it's been a lot!

I also talked a little about blogging and how it is so important. I was asked how much I blog and I shamefully said that sometimes only once a week when I wish I could do it more often. But hey i'm trying:):)

I also said that in order to really do well blogging you have to give a little. I love it when people comment on my site, it gives me happy feelings inside:) But I know that in order to have people comment on my site I also need to comment on theirs. So, I am trying to give a little love and comment more.

The sad thing is that sometimes people leave comments but they don't tell me who they are. I want to know!!! So, i'm asking all of you... if you comment and you have a blog or website feel free to leave it in the comment. That way I can see who you are and it will also help your web optimization:) If you don't want to I guess that is ok, but know i'm thankful for your comments!!

Alright, I have TONS to do so I better start working on some amazing pictures! Thanks for reading.. and start leaving some comments! I will do the same!

*A big shout out to all of you from the pug who left a comment today:):) Jocelyn, thanks!! But I don't know how to get ahold of you so I hope that you read this!

Fun Email

I just did a really fun Boudoir session for a gorgeous girl yesterday and I received a wonderful email afterwards... I can't tell you who it is from because it is special session that she did for her husband as a surprise and I don't want to spoil the surprise:):) So you will all have to wait for more info, but I had to share because I love emails like this!! LOVE IT!!


Kim,

Thank you so much for such an unbelievable experience today !! You couldn't have been more perfect. I don't even know what the pictures look like but couldn't be happier. I have never felt so beautiful. Your creativity is incredible, I feel blessed to have you referred to me by Katie :) I hope you have great couple of week and a great vacation....I will be using you lot' s in the future for sure

Thank you,

xxxxxxxxxx:)

Everyone meet the wonderful Kelli Whitehead

This post is way past due... really it is. In August I hired Kelli Johnson to come be a part of the chaoticness of Kimberly Jarman Photography. She was hired to help with finances, clients, albums, color correcting, and pretty much everything else. She has been a God send and is doing a great job.

I wanted to wait to post about her until I could show some pictures, but in the craziness of everything we didn't get pictures taken until last week, so I am just now posting them.

The other great thing is that on Saturday Miss Kelli Johnson became Mrs. Kelli Whitehead and I was able to go as a guest to the wedding which was wonderful. So, I want to send a big congrats out to the newlyweds!! Thank you Kelli for all your help.

Below are a few favs from the session we did... yes, Kelli is a HAM and I love it!
