San Diego Photography | Beach Sessions

Wednesday, April 17, 2013 Posted in 04:: Portraits, 10:: Business

*** This is a sticky post, which means it will stay up top! To see our latest posts, just scroll down.***

Every year we usually do ONE “Big” Sale for our portrait sessions. This means that we only give ONE chance to book a session that is highly discounted and includes digital files. Normally our sessions with prints range from $500 – $4000 depending on what you are wanting and in order to get the digital files you will probably spend upwards to $2500 (We don’t give away files very easily).

This year I will be in Sandiego for a wedding and vacation, I thought, heck… since i’m here with my camera why don’t I go ahead and offer portrait sessions. I’m kind of in love with the San Diego cliffs and beaches and really want to be able to offer my clients a totally different experience.  The more I talked with people about the sessions the more I realized that I needed to offer this as my once a year sale. That way you all of my Arizona clients can take a mini vacation and get out of the Arizona heat and also get hooked up with an AMAZING deal for family portraits; who wouldn’t want amazing beach pictures?

So here we go…. SAN DIEGO SUMMER BEACH SESSIONS with Kimberly Jarman and our BIGGEST PORTRAIT SALE OF THE YEAR!!!!

Start booking your reservations to enjoy a killer vacation and get some great pictures in the meantime.

This will be our ONLY portrait sale like this and i’m not sure if we will be doing mini sessions other than these this year, so make sure you sign up quickly. There will only be a few spots available, so don’t wait!

If you would like to book one of the portrait session please email us at kimberly @ kimberlyjarman.com and let us know if you would prefer Sunday or Monday and either morning or afternoon. We will send you over an booking invoice to reserve the time and date and then we will see you in the gorgeous San Diego weather.

BRITTANY + VINCE | CASA GRANDE ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER

Friday, May 10, 2013 Posted in 02:: Engagements

We just photographed Vince and Brittany’s wedding about 3 weeks ago, so before we show of those gorgeous images I wanted to go ahead and show off their AMAZING images from their engagement session. Vince works for a Dairy out in Eloy and it’s really an important place for him. Brittany and Vince also have an adorable little boy, Jayden, who means everything to them, so we had to incorporate both of those things into the pictures. I love how all of these turned out and have LOVED getting to know these 3.

This was my second time at this Dairy photographing an engagement session, and I have to say I LOVE this place. This time round we went in with all the cows and literally had them surrounding us. I can honestly say i’ve never been that close to so many cows and Elise and I were a little nervous as they just got closer and closer and closer. We had so much fun thought!

Stay tuned soon for their gorgeous wedding coming up on the blog soon. You won’t want to miss it!

THE SMITH FAMILY | PHOENIX PORTRAIT SESSION

Thursday, May 9, 2013 Posted in 04:: Portraits, Family Sessions

I realized today that I hadn’t yet blogged this wonderful family session that I did a few months ago. This is the Smith Family; I photographed Heather and Chris’s wedding a few years ago and was so excited that they wanted me to photograph their little man’s 1 year portraits. We turned the entire session into a HUGE family picture with both sides of Chris and Heather’s family. I think that is the way to go, get all the family together and go in on it together. It gets you some great pictures and saves cost as well!

I love this little one and he did so great! We had such a great time! Thank you Heather, Chris, and family!!

SAM + EMILY | ASSOCIATE WEDDING AT MESA ARIZONA TEMPLE

Wednesday, May 8, 2013 Posted in 01:: Weddings, 05:: Associate Photographers

S

Well Hello! This is Elise, Kim’s office assistant and associate wedding photographer blogging! I am so excited to be able to blog and show you all this wonderful wedding I was able to be apart of! Sam and Emily were married in the Mesa, Arizona LDS Temple. Weddings at the temple are definitely close to my heart – my husband and I were married there last year, so I instantly clicked with this sweet couple. An LDS wedding is a little different than a typical wedding we photograph, in that they do portraits about a week before the wedding around the temple; So,  a week or so before the wedding, we went to the Temple and took some gorgeous portraits of these two. They were so willing to do anything I asked them to do, and definitely easy to photograph!  LDS weddings also don’t allow photographers to photograph the actual ceremony, so normally we capture the couple coming out of the temple and then head off to photograph their reception. I loved Emily and Sam’s simple backyard reception. While I love over-the-top, fancy weddings, there’s something so refreshing about a simple wedding with lot of cute details! Yummy food, a lemonade stand, and an ice cream bar definitely kept all the guests happy and gave the entire reception a very relaxed feeling through the whole evening.

Sam and Emily, thank you for allowing me to be apart of such a wonderful day – congratulations!!

AMIE + JEFF | SCOTTSDALE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY AT THE FAIRMONT PRINCESS RESORT

Thursday, April 18, 2013 Posted in 01:: Weddings

Amie & Jeff..WOW! Such a sweet couple! The entire team was blown away with how kind they were to everyone. ! Amie & Jeff made the day go smoothly and we were always right on time for everything – it was absolutely wonderful! They held their wedding at the gorgeous Scottsdale Fairmont Princess Resort. We had never shot their before, and were blown away by it;  such a beautiful venue! Amie and Jeff truly wanted this to be a special event and truly cared about each and every guest. In so many ways, we could see that it was all about the people there sharing their day with them. They even thought about the people who couldn’t make it to the wedding and they hired Great Events, a video streaming company, to film their whole wedding so that Amie’s Grandparents, back home, would be able to see the wedding as well. After their touching ceremony, they requested we take a picture of the entire group of the guests at their wedding and then another one at their reception. Their reception space was beautiful and personal – from the hand-drawn pictures from Amie’s students (she is an elementary school teacher), to their tables dawning pictures of the couple in their various travels throughout their time together. The speeches were sweet and truly reflected the love they have for each other, as well as the love their friends and family have for them! Jeff’s best man,  his brother,  had everyone laughing hysterically by his ‘dramatized movie version’ of the couple’s romance, definitely one of the highlights of the day!

Make sure you also check out  Amie & Jeff’s wedding video by Serendipity Cinematography to see the gorgeous wedding in a whole different way.

We love being a Scottsdale Wedding Photographer. It truly is an honor to see so many amazing events every year at so many amazing resorts. We are blessed to be able to work with some of the most amazing wedding vendors in Arizona.
