Val McCormick: I know what you mean by totally feeling like you know the Baxter's without ever meeting them in person! I feel the same way although we are pratically family ;-) What a great gift! Awesome super cool images that they can cherish indefinately! The stairs are bangin and the "green" shot of the family is insane! Kimi is absolutely GORGEOUS! I am so glad you've introduced her beauty to everyone. I heart the Baxter's and Little Ms. Cathy Crawley too :-)

Love, Rain :] P.S. green is my favorite color, so i guess the last one would be my favorite picture. 8)
(2009-02-22 19:41:23) kim - ohana photographers: mel you are a bad girl! there are reasons we don't have pictures of us that aren't 5 years old! ok, i'll admit i usually stalk you like a crazy x girlfriend, but i must admit i was hesitant since vegas to visit the blog. there are very few, and i mean very few kick ass photographers i would be brave enough to step in front of a camera for. for obvious reasons :) but when you said we won a session with you guys, i was ecstatic and terrified at the same time. i have to say as much as i hate being in front of the camera you two made me comfortable and it was actually pretty fun! you two are just so amazing i can't even begin to say.
oh and thank you so much for doing our hair mel, you made us feel so purty! sheesh is there anything you CAN'T do! :) ok i'm gushing now. i just want to say you two are insanely talented and the nicest people ever! thanks for puttin up with us and being so sweet to cathy! ok i'm done :) xoxo kimi
(2009-02-22 19:40:38) mel: Thanks Marcia, Rachael, Anna and Chris! :) Photographers are always so much fun to photograph because they give you so much freedom! Rachael - the Baxters are regular Disney goers so I think they will appreciate your comment. :o) Personally, I think it looks like the emerald city in Wizard of Oz. David - I hope Kim is passed out in a good way! :o) We're so glad you're happy with them and we can't wait for you to see them all!
(2009-02-22 19:40:17) david baxter: while kim is passed out on the floor from seeing her picture first, i'll jump in to say THANK YOU both for taking such rad shots of us. we could not be more stoked with how the images turned out! i especially love the one on the stairs and the last one in green. actually, every shot with my girls is precious to me. i know they're all beautiful, and now everyone else does too. thank you so so much. my only wish is that we could have spent more time with you two. we loved every minute that we were fortunate enough to spend with you. we will continue to wish you many many blessings and hope 2009 is your best year ever. take care friends. hope to see you again very soon :)
(2009-02-22 19:22:20) Anna & Chris: INSANE. Those pictures are awesome! (2009-02-22 18:16:44)

That became my main objective for the shoot and can I just tell you, Kim was so great and really stepped outside of her comfort zone for us. Kim, thank you so much for trusting us! I hope you’ll see that it was well worth it! You are beautiful!
