Kimberly Jarman Missing in Action…

Wednesday, February 4, 2009 Posted in 07:: Personal


MIA – Missing in Action

I was just informed that it has been over a month since I last posted. A month!!! Are you serious? I could have sworn I posted just a few days ago. My oh my how time flies!!!

I must apologize for my lack of posting, but I did need to take a short hiatus to catch up on life… there is so much going on in my life and I was watching it go by, behind my computer, so I had to step back for a tiny bit and enjoy some of the little things.

I must let you all know that things are going very well. Business is wonderful and I have a ton of great pictures to show you very soon as well as many more sessions coming up soon. We are very booked this spring with weddings and only have a few dates still available, so get ready for lots and lots of updates.

Twitter
Are you on twitter??? If so I am updating twitter regularly with short little updates on what I am up to. Follow me!!!

Personal News

My little baby girl just had her 6 month birthday and has decided to start crawling and pulling up on everything!!! Life as I knew it once is now gone. My mornings and nights are consumed by my little beauty, and I’m taking it in as much as I can. She is growing up much to fast and I don’t want to miss it. So, my time is limited now and I must learn how to time manage…something that I have been trying to work on all my life!


My husband and I just celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary and I am still madly in Love with him. Life just couldn’t be any sweeter!!!

The Blog

Melanie, my wonderful studio manager, and I will be taking off a week in February to sit down and really hash out the business so that we can run more efficiently. Part of that includes coming up with a lot more content for the blog so that I can keep it updated more often.

Stay tuned for some really exciting things to happen in the next month or so that will keep you all coming back for more and more and more!!!

How are you? Contest?

Finally, how are you doing??? I would love to know!!! Please comment below and let me know what is going on with you!!! I will choose at random one post from the comments and that person will get a $10 itunes gift card!!! Bribery at it’s very best!!! Make sure you include your name and a way to contact you.

Kimberly Jarman - Everyone.. thank you for your comments.. i’m working on the winner and will be announcing it soon.

Jennifer – going back to work stinks… it’s so hard being a mom and so rewarding too! I think of you guys lots!! Hannah is soooo cute!

Erin – Thank you! I hope to see you in Phoenix. The Pug is at my studio, so hopefully we can meet up!

Dawn – She is an expert poser… scary actually 🙂

Cristi – Miss you too!! We have to get together.

Heather – Thank you!! I’m glad to be back!

Tara – I can’t believe that she is 2 already… and you are expecting #2!!!!I so hope we can meet up again.

Jen – Thanks:):) It was good seeing you yesterday!

Keri – Insane how much they grow!!

Mellimage – thanks for your comment!

Jessi – It was great seeing you yesterday.. keep working on those photo skills.. your’ rocking it!

February 9, 2009 - 11:24 am

Jessi - Oh my goodness she is adorable, and growing so fast! I love the picture with her and Jamie dancing too! I’m glad you’ll be back to blogging soon, I missed seeing you’re great stuff. (yeah yeah, no facebook!) 😉

As for us, things are going fabulous, and we’re keeping busy! I’m still working on my photography skills, and probably need to pick your brain very soon! 🙂

February 7, 2009 - 3:58 am

Mellimage - Nice to see your girl growing (even though that always happens too fast). How am I doing? probably just as busy as you trying to finish my dissertation, preparing two trips to the States in April and May and as it seems a move to another city right before all of that. Plus, it is Superelection year here in Germany and I get to vote in 3 different elections (plus to analyze the outcomes afterwards – that’s my day time job…). Best wishes,
Melli

February 5, 2009 - 9:56 pm

Keri - Oh my gosh, she is 6 months old? She just just s little newborn when I got to meet her. So darn CUTE!! Congrats on the anniversary, too! We’ll have to get together again as soon as I have recovered from my recent C-section. 🙂

February 5, 2009 - 5:07 pm

Jennifer Bowen - She is just gorgeous girl!! And yes, life is going to get busier now that she is crawling. Just wait until she starts walking!! Which with her strength and motor skills, will likely be by 9 months!

February 4, 2009 - 8:51 pm

Tara - Kim – Kailee is beautiful!!! And those eyes… I'm glad you're trying to find the time to enjoy the moment because it does go by entirely too fast. Brooke just turned 2 last month! You look back and wonder, "how did that happen?" We're expecting baby #2 in April and then soon after we're relocating to Seattle for a couple of years w/ P&G. We're hoping to make it to Scottsdale sometime soon. Would love some pics of the new addition to the family 🙂

p.s. Your Christmas card did not disappoint! I LOVED it!

February 4, 2009 - 8:24 pm

Heather - I am so glad to see you are back to blogging.. even if its only sporadically! Kailee is absolutey adorable!

February 4, 2009 - 3:11 pm

Cristi - oh kim, that 3rd photo down is so perfect! love her expression 🙂
miss you!

February 4, 2009 - 2:39 pm

Dawn McKinstry - It looks like she’s already an expert in posing for the camera from the looks of that first one! Too cute!

February 4, 2009 - 1:24 pm

Erin Harvey - Those eyes… She is absolutely precious! We’ve missed ya in blog stalker land, but we all understand. Any chance we’ll get to see you in Vegas? My hubby and I are also going to be in Phoenix on 2/19 so hopefully we’ll see ya at some point this month. =) I’ve never used iTunes to buy music but I would love to try it! -Erin

February 4, 2009 - 12:31 pm

Jennifer - How am I? That is a very good question, that I do not believe words can answer accurately…

Despite having to go back to work, (if only part time) and leaving my 3 month old baby girl, I am loving every moment of my life. My heart breaks when I leave Hannah in the morning, but when I go to pick her up, the huge smile she gives me erases the sadness I had of leaving her and the craziness of my day at work. They grow up so fast and sometimes I get caught up with work, or blogging, or browsing the internet, that sometimes I forget that all it takes is to just hold my little girl in my arms and life is as it should be. Nothing else matters besides her, my husband, my friends and my family.

So to answer you question, how am I? I am fabulous, loved, and enjoying life!

Do not apologize, Kim! I know, just as much as you, that our little girls will not stay little forever. We have to cherish every moment we can steal from our day, to spend with them! Enjoy that time with Kailee. You are one lucky mom to have such a beautiful daughter, so you do not need to apologize for spending time with her! :o)

February 4, 2009 - 11:58 am

Kimberly Jarman - Thanks Tira!! Isn’t she so wonderful. I’m biased, but truly I want to spend every moment with her!!!

February 4, 2009 - 11:53 am

Tira J - Hi Kimberly. No wonder you have been MIA, you have been taking care of that absolutely gorgeous little girl. Love her eyes! Hugs from So Cal!

Alison and Chad get hitched on New Years Eve!!!

Saturday, January 3, 2009 Posted in 01:: Weddings

Alison and Chad have become good friends of Jamie and mine. I love shooting weddings with Bride and Grooms that have become friends, it makes it so much more fun!

Alison and Chad decided to have a destination wedding at the Four Seasons on December 31st… yup, New Years Eve. They had a ton of friends and family come out for the event and celebrate their wedding and the New Year.. it was a blast!

To view a slideshow with lots more images click here.

Alison had a beautiful Monique Lhuillier dress.

I have to thank Andy Andrews for coming a long and 2nd shooting with me. He hung out with chad and got some great shots.. Chad looked awesome in his Converse.

I Love this shot.


This is my favorite picture of Alison.

A great moment with one of her bridesmaids.

The Very cute couple!!


I Love this picture that Andy got of Chad.

Alison looked so gorgeous.. her smile is so contagious!

The guys wore converse shoes… and actually Alison, when she found out, went and changed into hers for the wedding!

So many great details! Table Tops, Etc did it again. Melissa did a phenomenal job with decorating both the ceremony site and the reception site. The Four Seasons always does an amazing job with the presentation as well. There was a hot apple cider bar and hot chocolate bar for the guests as they waited for the ceremony to start.

The ceremony didn’t start until 7:30, so it was pitch dark which is very hard for photographers, but we did a good job capturing the essence of the event!




As I said, Table Tops, etc and the Four Seasons did an amazing job with all the details. The reception room was amazing.

Alison and Chad’s first dance!


And we had to get a shot at 12:00 celebrating the NEW YEAR!!!! Whohoo!!!

Lots of partying and dancing!!


And a huge thanks to Andy for coming out with us to help capture such a great wedding!!!

Happy new years everyone…..from Kim and Jamie… Congratulations Alison and Chad.

Stacy Guthrie of myweddingfilm - Wow! I love the one of him solo with his foot up, very dreamy. I also think the one where she’s sitting on his lap with the small cactus in the foreground and the mountain behind them is great! You are so wonderfully talented Kimberly.

Meet the Amazeen Family

Monday, December 22, 2008 Posted in Family Sessions

Meet the Amazeen family… aren’t they so cute? I had SOOOO much fun on this shoot! I Love families who are fun and willing to do anything. We got some great pictures and I truly loved every minute of it. The kids were so fun and so well behaved. Andy, you can tell is a wonderful big brother and little Sophia… she would come up and hold my hand whenever we walked to a new location.. it was the cutest thing. She was a very fun 3 year old and reminded me of me when I was her age, especialy the curly hair!

Thank you Eric and Nia I had a wonderful time with your family and hope to be able to do it again next year!
