Kimbrali Photography Blog » Louisiana Portrait Photography by Kim Boyd

more than a month since my last blog post. wow. so lame. im embarrassed.

but i have all kinds of things to blog about now so if anyone actually still reads this then i promise to start blogging again regularly.

i photographed these awesome kids a few weeks ago before i took off on vacation. such sweet kids. the little boy loves his sister and kissed her all throughout their session. going to be a total ladies man.

and i need some help from my photographer friends please. why do these images look totally different on my blog? the color and contrast are all sorts of crazy!

i have decided to make an effort to do at least one thing each week to my little own personal world a better place.

just simple things.

last week i finally after months of thinking about it… got off my arse and drove to the local recycling center and picked up bags and info on how to recycle in my home.

this week my daughter and i signed up with compassion international to sponsor a little girl in africa.

i really wanted raeleigh to be a part of this so she can see how blessed she is to have her life and how amazing it feels to help others. we began searching on the compassion website for a little girl her age and almost immediately found an 8 year old girl named rael which is what our family calls raeleigh half of the time. i think it was meant to be and we are so excited about getting our info packet and beginning our friendship with this little girl on the other side of the world.

beckett is still a little too young to understand the whole thing and just freaks out when we talk about it because he says there are tigers in africa.

next week i might just clean my toilet but i will make sure i do something!

you should all join me in my little weekly better life living idea.

and here are a few images of an incredible senior that i photographed a few weeks ago. i felt like i was 17 again when hanging out with her at her session. she is such a doll.

i have been a terrible blogger. this i know. but the truth is i just do not at all have the time these days to share. i spend most days sitting in my chair editing senior photos from the minute i wake till i leave in the afternoon for a session and the last thing i feel like doing when i actually do have free time is sitting back in my chair and blogging about the photos i just spent all day editing.

got that? im really bad with the run on sentences. english was not my greatest subject. now give me a difficult math problem though and i will be aaaaall over it !

so. i actually do like blogging though so i decided i would just blog something a little different.

and here it is….

a few of my favorite things.

first off i am in love with my adriano goldshmied “jeans”.

you can buy them from anthropologie which is wear i bought mine because they have fabulous customer service or you can buy them from the ag site.

and why do i love these?

because they are the only jeans that fit me with that awesome elastic waistband which is sad but this is what happens when you sit in a chair all day. and they dont stretch out through the day like most of my other jeans do. they look awesome tucked into boots and they look saucy worn with heels. not that i would know personally since i dont do heels.

just go ahead and buy them. you can thank me later.

secondly i love my sonicare flexcare power toothbrush.

normally i would think it would be totally ridiculous to spend so much on something so silly but its amazing people….. and  i found a really good deal on amazon.

i like that fresh dentist clean feeling every day. go get one.

i also love coffee. preferably community coffee sipped out of my happy green coffee mug. it tastes better when its in a colorful mug. trust me.

and then there are my most treasured possessions…. my poppys blankets. the first things i would grab if my house were to catch on fire.

these are what my poppy would wrap me up in as a little girl when i spent the night at their house growing up. he would also tickle my feet until i sell asleep while he ate sardines out of the can

i miss him.

they are soft and tattered and they stay really cold and they bring back great memories.

then there are also the one of a kind works of art i have all over my house.

that is a limited edition pink paper camera made just for me by miss raeleigh. be jealous.

so these are just a few of my favorite things. id love for you to share with me some of yours too! feel free to share in the comments section down below.
