So while I was out and about photographing hotels throughout South Carolina, I actually took my beloved Nikon D3 with me just in case I had an opportunity to shoot some portraits. You see, I’m required to use the Canon 5D Mark II for this commercial project and while I’m glad to have the opportunity to learn another camera system, the equipment they provided me doesn’t include a portrait lens. Let’s just say wide angles and fisheye lenses do not make for lovely headshots, LOL!
It was cold. It was raining. Time was short. The property was… not set up for portrait photography
and unlike photographing small children, I need a bit of space to work with grownups. They were coming in/leaving from work. But we still had fun and Miss Kasey will be coming to Myrtle Beach in the spring for me to photograph her again.
Now it’s time to meet the girls of Newberry…

How FUN, and I can’t wait to see a full session from Kasey – you are going to have a blast from the looks of this!
I bet it felt great to have your Nikon back in your hands photographing. Lovely ladies! Their portraits are beautiful.
When it comes to my career, I’m incredibly passionate about continuing education and I’m committed to staying involved in my professional community in all sorts of ways – from forums and email groups, to large scale conventions, to smaller get-togethers with colleagues, to mentoring and being mentored myself. This year, the largest convention/workshop of the photographic community – ImagingUSA – was held in Nashville at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel and so, rooming with Michelle Parsley of Kindle the Heart in Middle Tennessee, I met up with over 10,000 of my colleagues for 5 days of intense learning and sharing.
Michelle and I both had the honor and pleasure of being invited to work in the MpixPro booth, alongside the people who are a part of my everyday experience with my professional photo lab. I’ve been lucky enough to be a part of MpixPro since their inception and it was such fun getting to talk to all of the people who came by the booth to find out more about MpixPro, meet the people on the other side of the computer screen and photo products, and chat with photographers who use MpixPro. I’ve gotten used to seeing my work on the MpixPro website but it gave me a thrill to see it displayed right there in the booth! Please excuse the (uber ugly) iPhone snapshots but here’s a peek at Bliss® at ImagingUSA:
Beaches Family Album featuring the Hackney Family

5×5 Linen Holiday Cards featuring the Shuler Family
(email me at kimberly @ blissportraiture.com for information about the card designer)
Gallery Mat Prints (black) featuring my CrazyChineseBaby
Gallery Mat Prints (white) featuring Campbell H.
And now the incredible booth itself. MpixPro really outdid themselves – our booth was the talk of the ImagingUSA tradeshow! Whew, those lights were hot… if only we had air conditioning too. ;)

Thanks for sharing all of this Kimberly, it looks great.
Fun! Both the experience, I’m sure, and your portraits, Kim!!
It all looks wonderful! I’m loving those cards!
One of the greatest compliments an artist can receive is the request from a colleague to use their work in the promotion and display of that colleague’s work. What’s even more special is when that request comes from someone whose work and professionalism and talent is at the very top of your *adoration* chart. Even more special than that? When it’s the second time they’ve sought you out! Once again, she’s outdone herself and once again, I’m so pleased to be able to offer her work to my Bliss® clients. Behold, the Beaches Family Album!
This stunning album is available as a coffee-table style book with images from your family beach session with Bliss®. It’s 10 pages/20 sides and makes a fabulous keepsake of your summer vacation!
Professional photographers: for more information on the album and designer, please send an email to kimberly @ blissportraiture.com (remove spaces). These designs are not available to the general public.

I am a photographer in Texas and I love your beach book layout! Do you sell the layout? My family is having a beach reunion this summer in S. Carolina and I would love to make a beach book from our pictures. It is fabulous!
Thank you!
