I've been waiting 6 months to meet this beautiful family. SO worth the wait. I had such a wonderful time with all of you. The change of location couldn't have been prettier- and I am so thankful we got to spend some time together!
I don't think Eli could have been a better sport- or any more adorable for that matter.
It's that time of year again! This year we have some special items that are going to be offered only for these sessions- including the option of Lux holiday cards!
(not my images)
And GORGEOUS custom frames from Organic Bloom (and they're ornament size!)
Exciting right?

Please email me at Kim@brinkstreetphotography.com or call me (970)227.4927 to set your time. Make sure you have a top 2-3 times, just in case the one you like is already taken.
Once you book, I'll send you a little goodie envelope with all the little details of the day. I can't wait to hear from you!
Again with the growing too fast! Best part about this session? He sat up all on his own for the very first time! And I got to capture it. Yep- best job ever.
My kids grow too fast. I see them every day, and yet they are reaching milestones all too quickly, and all I can see sometimes is that before I know it they won't be little anymore. Embracing every moment is so important to me. You can imagine if I see my kids every day and they are growing too fast, how very quickly little ones who I only see once a year, or every few months, grow. Jonas just turned 2. He was just a peanut when he was born, and it was amazing how much he had grown when he turned one. Now he's TWO! He's gorgeous and I absolutely loved spending some time with him again. He loved roaring at me like a dinosaur (One of my favorite games with little boys who are shy....) and discovering the world around him.
I'm so excited for the next time we see each other!
Wanna know more about the mustache? Visit Whisker Works- They are awesome!
I love my little baby planners!! Can you believe it's been almost 5 months since this little sweet pea was born?? We had grand plans to go outside this time, but alas, the rain decided otherwise. So inside we played! I love that we got to use her little tutu again- it's so cool to see how much she has grown. She's such a character- so happy! I can't wait to see her again!
It's been a whirlwind month here. We had a trip to Texas, tons of beautiful sessions and a wonderful wedding (lots of blog posts coming soon), we had Teagan's injury, and we had a scary health scare with my grandmother that we care for. She is mostly better now, but adjusting to our new normal has slowed me down a bit. We had planned to start homeschool this week, but with everything we are holding off until August 1st. I cannot WAIT to share our adventures in homeschooling. We are so excited and nervous and and and. I'm seeing all the school supplies popping up at Target and I am getting giddy. I get to make our own school supply list. Please tell me I'm not the only one who gets as excited about school supplies as I do about Christmas gifts.... Anyone?
I am so thrilled that I got to spend the evening with these beautiful kiddos last month. They are so fun. Little 18-24 month olds are a blast to capture because there is lots of chasing and making goofy noises and shooting fast. They are anxious to explore the world around them. No posing or pressure, just fun. Sweet little girls are fun for a whole other reason. They pose, they smile, they want to help- I love it. It's a great combo.
I know I have said it many times before, but it is an honor to be part of a family's birth story. It's a bonding experience, and one that very very few people in their life get to take part in. That said, my birth families have a extremely special place in my heart. Do you remember just after Thanksgiving when this little guy made his way into the world? They are one of the most wonderful families I have ever been blessed to know. They love each other desperately. Every moment they are teaching their kids. Heck, Daddy willingly took several mosquito bites just to show how they went about getting blood from the body.
They have grown so much- time just goes way too fast for my liking. I giggled the entire time I edited these- how fun is it that they all made funny faces? Even baby brother got in on the funny face action!
I love them all. And they are moving. I am so sad- but hopeful that we will be able to still see each other now and then.
Or at least a buckle fracture. Tibia and Fibula.
Our sweet little Teagan broke her leg this week. No major or dramatic story, just landing wrong stepping off a toy. It's crazy how that can happen, isn't it? They can tumble and fall in ways that you are just certain they are broken- and they dust themselves off and keep running. But sometimes just the tiniest thing and a bone breaks. She has been such a trooper this whole adventure- and didn't even cry when they were poking on her. She just glared at them until I scooped her up. Then the tears came. She is amazing. We just keep laughing when the medical staff says she's tough. She has to be! She's number 3 with an older sister who loves to dress her up and a brother who LOVE to wrestle with her.
She's LOVING all the attention, even though the fact that she can't run is making her crazy. She's crawling around like a mad woman though, and they gave her a walking shoe so that she can get back to walking soon. That also meant she got her very first sneakers yesterday (to balance the height of the cast) and she got to pick which ones she wanted- so she picked the brightest, most glittery, busiest ones they had. AND they match her cast. Teagan, you're a hoot. Best part about the cast though? We can get it wet! They have an option for water-friendly casts now. Talk about making mommy's life easier. Do you remember wrapping casts in garbage bags and putting bands around the top super tight so that water wouldn't get in? And forget water fun in the summer with a cast. I'm so thankful for this option! Keeping a toddler dry in the summer is nearly impossible. And baths? Oh am I glad we can give her baths!
I'm challenging myself to take a photo a day during this month of her in a cast. just for fun- and because *hopefully* this is a once in a lifetime kind of thing.
I LOVE my little baby planners! It's so amazing to see these little guys their first year, when they are first born, when they are holding their head up and smiling lots, sitting up, and then standing. Do you remember this stunning little guy? He's so much fun- and he has grown like crazy! I absolutely love spending time with his family. I love the way he made so many fun faces. So much personality. I adore him.
I just want to squeeze him. I squealed when I saw him- can you blame me?
These little boys have the prettiest hair color EVER. It's so pretty it doesn't look real. I'm totally jealous.
I absolutely love putting little boys in their element. They find the coolest things when we do sessions out in places they can explore naturally. We spend a lot more time seeing what we can find than we do shooting- and I love it. We saw a baby bunny, ducks swimming, played with rolley poley bugs, avoided ants and just had a grand old time. Just don't try to make me hold a worm. I freak out.
Despite oncoming colds, they were such awesome little guys- and I am so glad that we got to play together!
Mr.T was a blast to shoot! I love boys when they are 6-10 years old. They are filled with tons of ideas, they move fast, and they are ready and willing to show off a bit for you. It makes our sessions REALLY fun and fast moving!
Isn't he handsome? I love his love for being outside, that he loves bright colors, and most of all, he and I have the same birthday!!!
He gave me a very nice compliment too- he said "I was upset when my mom said that she signed me up for this, but it was actually fun!"
Thanks for hanging out with me bud!
I know I say it a lot, but I love my job. I love that I am chosen, from so many talented photographers, to share people's lives. There is no higher honor than that. I love that the people I shoot let me be a part of their family for a few hours of their life.
Remember the gorgeous maternity's from March? Well the little guy decided he didn't want to turn over! That's right- he decided to be breech. The difficult decision was made to schedule a c-section for his arrival, since he had zero intention of flipping over. The hospital has a strict 1-person-only policy for c-sections, so both of us were worried that the birth wouldn't be captured the way we had hoped. So Nicole asked her doctor and the hospital if I could be in the room. What's the worst they could say? We didn't even know for certain what the answer was until just minutes before the surgery- I think that the anesthesiologist was worried that I wouldn't be considerate of a medical procedure. (Note to photographers- make sure you let medical staff know that you will stay out of the way and only in the spaces they designate as appropriate. It goes a REALLY long way to be respectful)
With C-Sections, everything moves pretty quickly. It's really amazing to watch. And then.... They arrive. I have a mask on to hide my tears. Babies coming in to the world... I can't help but be overjoyed. Especially for families whom I have grown to know and love. Daddy's first glimpse, Mommy's. Together those first moments- I wish I had adequate words.
When everything settled down, big brother got to meet baby brother. When they are so little- like mine, these two kiddos are a little less than 2 years apart- the older kids don't know what to think of Mommy being strapped in to a bed. I'm sure all of those cords are scary.
Oh- and you were SERIOUS about a baby in your tummy? WHAAAAT do you mean we get to keep him?
Then love.

Redmond Birth 2011 from Kimberly Rodgers on Vimeo.
Welcome to the world little one. We are all so glad you are here. Congratulations Redmond family! Nicole, you are so brave and strong.
I am so honored to have been part of your day. Thank you again and again.
Close to 5 years ago, because of an accident at a daycare, I got the chance to meet, get to know, and love this family. My goodness how they have grown. We had our second babies around the same time, and since then we don't see each other nearly enough. Our oldest girls love each other. They were just babies when they saw each other every day, yet even when there are months between visits they still are thick as thieves when they are together. Our 3 year olds are both sassy and adorable- it's so fun to watch all of them together (Even when they are all freezing!)
Thank you Beth for allowing me to be part of your wonderful lives. I love you all and I am so excited for this new baby boy to become part of your family.
Spring Mini Sessions are here again! Can you believe that spring is here already? The trees are starting to blossom, the grass is turning green... It's one of my favorite times of year. I'm so guilty of not having enough photos with me and my kids. I am always behind the camera, and I know a lot of parents who feel the same way.

I've been looking forward to this session for a couple of months now. Nicole contacted me in January about documenting the birth of their new baby, and I was blessed enough to be chosen for that special day. One of the best things about birth photography is getting to know a family as they grow. You get, for a few days, to capture their life. Being part of that is... probably the most special and honoring experience one could have. I well up thinking about it. I even got a little smooch on the cheek from that cutie down there in those pictures. He made my day!
Is she not one of the most beautiful pregnant women ever? This family is just beautiful all around. It was a joy to spend time with them- we had a great time. I had to go home and jam out to Fresh Beat Band with my kiddos! Thank you so much R Family.
We are always excited to try new ideas- and this spring we have TONS of fun ideas!
Models for our casting call have their session fee waived ($150 value) but still receive all the services included in a regular session, including a welcome packet, a full session, and an in-home ordering session.
Fit the description of who we are looking for? Know someone who does? Please feel free to share this on your facebook or with your friends! Any share is appreciated, and if you are a client you will be rewarded for your referral!
If you live in Texas and fit the description, we will be in your neck of the woods in June, so please don't hesitate to inquire!
I get asked a LOT for ideas for what to wear for a family session. The one thing I have to emphatically insist is that you DO NOT match! COORDINATE! Unless you dress the in the same outfits every day of the year, I don't want you to match in pictures. I want to capture you, just kicked up a notch. I'm a T-shirt and jeans kind of gal. So for pictures, unless we are going dressier, I wear jeans. But instead of just a day to day t-shirt, I go get a fancy (AKA nicer than a t-shirt but still cotton and comfy) shirt, rock out some jewelry, and toss on some boots instead of my day-to-day slip ons.
If you love skirts, wear that! Dress your kids up in something that is THEM, not matching, but tying it all together. Pick a common thread. Love pink? Have pink thread through your outfits. Your girls in dresses with pink flowers, your boys with pink ties or suspenders. You could wear a cream colored top, and a pink necklace and heels- your hubby with a pink tie or shirt. Speaking of ties and all things amazingly adorable.... go check out The Belle and The Beau ... painfully cute.
I wanted to include a few ideas of what I mean. These are courtesy of Inspire Me Baby, but if you like ideas on what to wear, leave a comment and I will start putting together ideas every week.
I can't wait to see you as things get green! Spring is a fantastic time to have family portraits.
After capturing the birth of little baby G, I was SO thrilled to get to spend more time with this family! We had so much fun. You can't beat a sweet, beautiful, perfectly sleepy little newborn followed by peek-a-boo under pillows and playing outside with kids.
I just adore this family! I love that we got to do newborn images, as well as family ones. They are all my favorite things wrapped into one!
And are they not a completely stunning family? Cuties everywhere you look!
