Third Annual Barefoot for Babies…[Kimberly Whipps, Portland Oregon child photographer]

Kimberly Whipps — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 17:51:36 +0000

I am very excited to finally announce the third annual Barefoot for Babies! Many of you already know the details of this fabulous fundraiser for the local Pregnancy Resource Centers, but just in case this is the first you have heard of it, let me explain. Each year, Barefoot Photography, has a day of mini sessions with the purpose of raising money for the PRC, an organization dedicated to helping women and their babies. You can read more about the PRC here…

As for the mini sessions, your $150 covers the session fee plus one 8×10, two 5×7 prints and one set of 8 wallets. (Over $300 value) Every penny of any other purchase will be donated to the PRC. Sessions will be held on August 28th from 9am to 5pm at Barefoot Photography’s studio -17 SE 3rd Ave Portland OR 97214. Email Kimberly for more information and to grab your spot!!

Now….let’s just enjoy some cute faces!

Yikes! I cannot believe it has been over two months! I have not fallen off the face of planet earth…but I feel like I *almost* did. Many of you may know that my computer and I were not getting along, and it was only getting worse. Then…while I was in LA doing a maternity session (which I will share soon) my websites and blog were hacked. STUPID HACKERS. Why do they do what they do? Then my cell phone turned against me. It was a flip phone…I know, cutting edge right? Well, I could dial out and I could answer, but I couldn’t hear anything. So I had to get that replaced. Then, while trying to recover from the hacker, my computer died….completely. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! Yeah, technology hates me.

Anyway….I have finally crawled out from that quicksand and am back and ready to share. And man alive, do I have a lot of catching up to do. So stay tuned, check back often and enjoy!

Back in the saddle again…

A Life Well Lived…[Kimberly Whipps, Portland Oregon family photographer]

Kimberly Whipps — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 06:53:55 +0000

This evening, surrounded by her family, Vicki Whipps very peacefully slipped away from us and into the arms of Jesus.

“Well done, good and faithful servant.” Mathew 25:21a

And with your final heartbeat
Kiss the world goodbye
Then go in peace, and laugh on Glory’s side, and
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus and live!

Kimberly Whipps — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 18:58:40 +0000

BAREFOOT PHOTOGRAPHY IS LOOKING FOR A FEW MODELS!

Participants will receive a complimentary 8×10 portrait.

MODELS NEEDED –

Pregnancy model I need a woman who is between 34-38 weeks along for some maternity images. I would prefer both parents to be involved, but that is not mandatory.

Newborn Model Looking for a baby who is under a week old (Can do up to two weeks). So basically, if you are preparing to go to the hospital in the next few days, I need you!

Sitter Model I need a baby (prefer a little boy) who is about 5-7 months old. Must be sitting up unaided but not yet crawling.

If you or someone you know fits the bill on any of these, and you are available on December 31st from 9-2pm, please contact me as soon as possible. Thank you!!
