Right before Christmas we had our good friend Kim come visit us all the way from Belgium. Kim has been part of our lives for almost 4 years now. She and her good friend Helena first showed up on our doorstep as interns looking for 3 months work experience in the world of sports management as part of their college courses. Now having worked hard and impressed Husband so much, Kim has remained part of Doyle Management Group (Husband's company), helping co-ordinate athlete logistics once they arrive in Europe each summer.
Husband is now working on updating his company's information package and while Kim was here he hired me to get some up-to-date headshots. However, Kim and I decided to take it one step further and went for a full on shoot.
We did this for a number of reasons; cos Kim is uber fabulous of course. She has finally finished her college studies and is ready to start her life. But she's not quite sure what it is she wants to do. Or, she is but can't quite figure out the best way to get there. She is in that "In-Between" phase and we all know that can be a very frustrating place to be, but at least she has a bunch of photos documenting her life right now, something to reflect on in a few years when she is wildly successful and happy.
Kim, thank you so much for being a great model. You look fabulous in every photo. You are destine for great things and in time you will figure it all out. No rush. Enjoy the ride.
This was the very first shot I took of Kim. Headshot sorted in the first take, now we could have some fun.
We shot in a small part of Atlanta known as Cabbagetown. This place is unique and has tons of character.
This is one of my favorite shots from the session.
Kim is a big reader and deep thinker.
She also loves fabulous shoes. Smart girl. Must be all that reading.
Up for the challenge of walking across skinny beams in her fabulous shoes.
Oops, going.....
.......going
Oh, almost gone. Nice save.
Tapping into a little childish action.
Loved the different wall types here.
The wall says it all.
Kim saw this old VW Bug and really wanted to get a shot with it. This shot turned out to be another one of my favorites. Very urban decay.
This one we took as a gift for Husband. He loves him some pick-ups.

Go Kim...What amazing beautiful pictures!
Shinks, I'm jealous!
Thanks again Karen, I really love the result! You are a great photographer and I'm sure even greater things are on the way.
And without a doubt... you are a superstar in finding the right 'techniques' to make your models smile ;-)
Hey Helena: don't be jealous, you can always come visit too or you can fly me to Brussels to do your head-shots, I hear you got a fancy new job. Congrats, your gonna be great : )
Kim: Your welcome but will definitely have to work on the things I say to help people smile, there were quite a number of "shock" facial expressions ; )
Nice job ladies!
