Kim Schmidt Photography LLC Princeton, NJ Photographer

As promised here are some photos of the mini session I had with my nephews. I literally had 20 minutes to do these photos. I had just gotten home from my training to teach ZumbAtomic (if you are in the Princeton area, I will be teaching very soon. Details to come!!), hopped in the shower and we were about to grab dinner! Thankfully I have Randon (3.5 years old) wrapped around my finger and he was willing to dress in whatever I wanted, put on these fabulous non-character shoes, and allowed me to spike his hair! He is no longer that little kid from last June or even from April of this year. He was a very willing participate. Now Rylan is a different story. He is your typically 1.5 toddler and into everything and anything.

He was very proud of his shoes! He normally wears Toy Story or Spider-Man character shoes, but I did some sweet talking and he was totally willing to put these snazzy slip-ons with no socks on!

He brings a smile to my face every single day!

My mom and I got this outfit for Randon when he was around the same age and I knew I wanted to reuse the outfit for these (since it was the only thing that went with what Randon was wearing).

This happens a lot with this dude. He’s been walking for awhile now, but going down the hill in my parents backyard proves to be a challenge!

A close up of the shoes! He was standing on one of the many tables w/umbrellas in my parents backyard and he was “hidden” in the umbrella.

This was pretty much Rylan the entire time when trying to get a photo of the two of them together! Love the tongue and determination!!!

Thanks for looking at my sweet and adorable nephews!!

I will be photographing Rachel’s Bat Mitzvah in Hunter, New York over Labor Day weekend. We met up yesterday evening to get some photos of just her. She is a beautiful young lady and I’m so glad that I will be apart of her celebration.

Boy can she work the camera!

Seriously loved the evening sun.

I got some laughs out of her when I asked her to be serious and after I told her she looked beautiful.

You’ve got to be kidding me on this one! Hello gorgeous!!

Thanks again Rachel and Laurel for this fun photo shoot!

The minute I walked into this family’s home, I could feel the excitement and apprehension about getting photos taken. Soft soulful music was playing throughout the house while everyone was putting the finishes touches on their outfits. The minute I saw the girls’ outfits I was tickled. They were full of color (hello bright pink, blue, brown, mutlicolored tights!) and ready to put on their modeling faces. I love capturing each child individually before doing family shots as this allows them to get to know me and relax a bit in front of the camera. These four had no problems with the camera at all.

All of them had such stories to tell with their eyes, but especially Damali (2nd photo). This was her fierce, supermodel look and I love it.

I love that Dafina & Dinari have the same smile, with the teeth clinched together. What five year old does not do that?

I love sibling shots that are fun and different. Thank you guys for being willing participants on a day when you wanted to get to soccer practice!

Friday late afternoon I met up with another seminary family near the D&R canal to take some 6 month photos of little Isabelle. I couldn’t resist snapping a few of big sister Addy too. Both of these girls have gorgeous eyes and beautiful smiles. Thanks Heather & Todd for playing along!

I asked Addy to sit in the leaves for a few photos and she found two “nuts” (you can see one in her hand there). The elation and joy she got from that continues to make me smile. And those acorns were huge too!

Miss Isabelle, the happiest baby I’ve ever seen.

Something spooky is going on, my last three sessions have been with families that have last names starting with the letter S. This is the last of the three and nothing short of beautiful. Miss K. is in love with princesses and such a great big sister. She’s the only one able to get Miss J. to smile. Enjoy your sneak peek!

I’m totally in love with this photo.

I had a blast hanging out with this family last Sunday evening. We did some jumping photos of the girls at the very end to reenact a photo of mom at the age of 10. We may not have gotten exactly but I must say I love the last photo I included.

I knew immediately that I was going to love this photo. I feel the love between these sisters and they are just gorgeous!
