The "B" Family Sunset Session

Wed, 13 Sep 2023 17:36:46 GMT

Such a magical evening with this sweet family during our sunset sessions. I love that they chose this very forest area behind the family home. So many memories have been made here and there are plenty more to come.

There's something truly enchanting about the warm, golden hues of the setting sun that bring out the love and connection in every frame.

Classic Black & White Portraiture

Thu, 22 Jun 2023 00:10:40 GMT

There's something so captivating about the simplicity and contrast of black and white photography. It truly brings out the raw emotions and showcases the timeless beauty in every frame.

I rarely do BW images. After this portrait session, I'm going to have to do them more often because I'm really loving how classic these images are. I can see these framed on my wall in a white matte but the frame style....I'm stuck. Would you do a white frame, black, light wood tone? I'd appreciate input.

Sanchez Family

Tue, 11 Apr 2023 21:34:29 GMT

Just had an amazing studio family photography session located in McAllen, Texas with a young family! The children were so much fun to work with. Even though the younger children got a little fussy towards the end, we were able to keep the session flowing and get some amazing shots. The parents were so patient and loving with their little ones, and it truly shows in the photos! If you're in the McAllen area and considering a family photography session, I highly recommend trying a studio session. #KimBoggusPhotography#McAllenphotography #familyphotography #memories #studiofun #preciousmoments #patienceisakey

Merry Christmas sweet "S."

Wed, 21 Dec 2022 20:32:03 GMT

I have photographed this little girl since she was a newborn baby and year after year since then. What a privilege it has been to watch her grow and be apart of her journey. Merry Christmas sweet "S." Can't wait to see you again for Valentine's sessions.

Welcome to the World Baby "T"

Wed, 17 Aug 2022 21:38:18 GMT

Welcome to the world baby "T!"

I have been waiting for months for this baby's arrival and I'm just so excited to have photographed their first family portrait. This family is so special to me. I've known some of them for years and this sweet mom was my daughter's 3rd grade teacher. What a blessing!

There's just something about them that I can't put my finger on but I think it's love. Such a beautiful family. Aren't they just glowing?!

Those very first moments with a new baby are so important to capture. They stay tiny like this for such a short time

So excited to have been able to photograph the newest edition to the Shipley’s family. The best donut place ever! Thank you so much to my long time friend, Stacy for gifting this session. I will always have such wonderful high school memories with you and our many trips to pick up donuts whenever we wanted. This was the SWEETEST session and I am beyond thrilled to have been a part of it.

Can't wait to see this sweet boy in about 6-7 months when he's sitting up unsupported. That has to be my absolute favorite age to photograph. They smile at everyone and they aren't quite mobile yet. It's just the cutest time to document.

Happy First Birthday Baby "C!

Tue, 19 Jul 2022 22:17:19 GMT

I just love having creative clients! This sweet boy's mom came to me with some really cute ideas and made the balloon decor all on her own. I can't even imagine how much time it took to make this. When clients are involved in the process from set design, style, color and the final print piece, it really makes the experience that much more memorable for them. I'm blessed to be able to make her ideas come to life.
Happy First Birthday Baby "C!"

Growing up

Thu, 05 May 2022 14:43:18 GMT

This is 5th grade and such an important year to document. They are living on the edge of elementary and growing up. Love this sweet girl!

My beautiful mom on her birthday April, 2022. I'm so blessed to have her in my life.

Welcome to the World Baby "A"

Wed, 06 Apr 2022 00:15:00 GMT

I can’t get over how gorgeous this newmama is!

New life is just so incredible to document and these early moments are so fleeting. In just a few weeks her baby boy won’t fit so small in her arms like this.

They grow so fast in the first year!

Welcome to the world little one!

Sweet dreams little one!

Miss "C's" Madeline Inspired Session

Mon, 14 Mar 2022 22:35:18 GMT

Loving this French inspired shoot from the children's story book Madeline. The theme fits a toddler so well and Miss C had so much fun during her session. Just wait till you see the next round of images where she gets a lollipop for doing so well during her session. Just too cute!

Krystal's 40th Birthday!

Fri, 11 Feb 2022 00:37:20 GMT

Happy 40th Birthday pretty lady!

I swear Krystal is a model in her spare time. Just so easy and natural in front of my camera. She made my job so easy. I truly enjoyed putting our heads together in creating this fun memory of one of the biggest birthday milestones there is in life. To many more birthdays!!! Hope you have a fabulous day!

Really loving the “Old Hollywood” vibes in this image.

Glamorous!

Happy 40th Birthday pretty lady!

Welcome to the world baby "C."

Tue, 21 Dec 2021 00:45:05 GMT

Beyond blessed to have the privilege to photograph their first family portrait so that they get to remember just how tiny she was when they first held her in their arms.

This baby girl absolutely loved to have her arms out the swaddle. This was her most comfortable position. Just so sweet!

All the little baby bits!
A little splash of color!

The G Family

Thu, 04 Nov 2021 22:42:47 GMT

Fall portait season is here! Remembering this sweet family from last season. I'm sure the littles have grown so much since then.

The O Family

Tue, 02 Nov 2021 23:20:40 GMT

Every single time a family commissions me to take their family portrait, I feel so blessed. Blessed that they trusted me with their special memories but more that they allowed me to see a glimpse of their life. The love they have for one another and the joy they have in spending time together. Thank you for sharing your story with me. I'm thrilled that I got to be a part of it, even for a moment.

What's your family story and how to you want to be remembered?

Brotherly love.

Welcome to the World baby E!

Mon, 12 Apr 2021 21:07:32 GMT

Welcome to the world baby E!

It was such a pleasure working with this sweet family! This little peanut is just so precious.

This snuggly curled up portrait of Miss E was taken at just 10 days old, the ideal time to document those first moments.

You will always remember that first time you held her in your arms when she was so tiny. She'll triple her size in the first few months but this moment captured together will last a lifetime.

Happy Easter!

Wed, 07 Apr 2021 21:52:28 GMT

Happy Easter!

Just love the secret garden vibes of this portrait session. I always seem to gravitate toward a feminine romantic feel. I love including florals and pastel muted tones. Anything whimsical and fairytale like make my heart sing.

Highlights from Miss "S's" Christmas Session

Thu, 17 Dec 2020 21:21:02 GMT

I've been photographing Miss S since she was a newborn. I just love that I've had the opportunity to watch her grow and document all of her milestones. Here are a few highlights from her Christmas session.

The "G" Family

Wed, 16 Dec 2020 21:55:03 GMT

Can I just say that this family should get an award for "best dressed" Christmas session. The colors together and that golden hour light are what a photographers dreams are made of. So so pretty! Not to mention, they were such a sweet family to work with.

Those gummy smiles at this age are the best! This guy is sooo sleek! Love his outfit!

Miss "E" Turns 10!

Tue, 15 Dec 2020 23:56:24 GMT

Happy Birthday!!! Miss "E" turns 10!

At the end of our session, she said “mommy, this is the most fun shoot I’ve ever done.”

The confetti throwing was a blast!

The "N" family- Fall Garden Session

Thu, 03 Dec 2020 19:41:59 GMT

Just love this garden themed fall portrait session. It' so great when the family includes their furry family members into their special memories. Our pets are such a huge part of our families.

How sweet is this doggie! Her human friend was having too much fun playing with her sister when she consequently "got a booboo," and she was right there to console her.

Baby C's 18 month fall portraits. Such a cutie!

Welcome to the World Baby R

Wed, 18 Nov 2020 19:24:49 GMT

I am so excited for this sweet family. They haven't had their portraits taken in a very long time and now they'll have a beautiful gallery wrap canvas to display in their home along with some heirloom quality prints to pass down to their children. Such lovely memories were made during this session. I hope you always remember just how tiny baby "R" is your arms, for she won't be so tiny for very long.

For this child I have prayed. ~ 1 Samuel 1:27

Twins have a Smashing Good Time!

Tue, 17 Nov 2020 23:18:56 GMT

Once in a while I get a mom that calls me up for a portrait session and says, "this is the style that I want." When I saw the decor and props that she brought in, I was so excited. Isn't this style so cute?! The wood tones, succulents,.....ugh and look at those suspenders! So freakin cute! I just love when my clients get creative with me. It becomes quite an experience designing and styling a set together. Fun memories!

Dream Big!

Mon, 16 Nov 2020 19:00:39 GMT

Surround yourself with people who dream as BIG as you do!

This young lady has huge dreams. Watching her is a such a motivation! I can't wait to see all that you do in your life. You were meant for greatness!

There is just something about this fine art portrait that draws me into her beautiful blue eyes. All I see is strength and confidence.

Addison Bortnick's Vision!

Fri, 30 Oct 2020 22:49:46 GMT

Have you ever fallen in love with a VISION? A vision in which you knew you were DESTINED to become.

Wow! I was blown away when I walked into this young lady's room. What I found was beyond just a girls room. She had quotes all over her walls. "You are IMPORTANT", "You are LOVED", "You are KIND", "You are SMART."

Addison's mom shared with me, that since she was very young, she would have Addison sit in front of the mirror and speak positive affirmations while looking at herself. She expressed the power of loving and believing in yourself. To me this was incredible!

This image is a "behind the scenes" glimpse into the internal work she has done to be where she is today. I wanted to help Addison tell the story of her journey on how she came to this powerful mission.

At the young age of 13, Addison has BIG BIG BIG dreams! She is on a mission to replace fear with love, replace doubt with knowledge and replace segregation with inclusion. People are not their disabilities, they are people first.

CONGRATULATIONS Addison Bortnick on becoming your peer elected Vice President of Cathy Middle School of McAllen, Texas.

Ester 4:14 says "Perhaps this is the moment for which you have been created."

Summer Fun at SPI!

Tue, 01 Sep 2020 20:11:42 GMT

I have to admit that sometimes I’m a little jealous of the images that I create for other families, so I set out to create some of my own. Since I can’t clone myself as the photographer, the best way for me to create family portraits for us is to set up the camera on a tripod. So I did just that!

What a challenge that was and so much more complicated than physically being behind the camera. I’ll spare you the tech talk but just know it’s a P.I.A.

I’m super excited that I was able to get these! It’s such a special memory to have us together. I can’t wait to show y’all how I’ll make a wall display of a few of these mixed in with the individual portraits I took of the little in my previous beach post.

Oh how I love this little girl. She is such a blessing!

40 and Fabulous!

Sat, 29 Aug 2020 18:34:13 GMT

Happy 40th Birthday! This was such a memorable session and I'm so happy that I was there to document your special day. I can't believe I met you 22 years ago. Where has the time gone?! 40 and still Fabulous!

Gallery Wrap Canvas Unboxing

Tue, 18 Aug 2020 06:34:50 GMT

Y'all I can't even tell you how much I hate being in front a video camera. So awkward! I'd much rather be behind the camera. Here goes nothing! Haha!

Thought I would share my most recent gallery wrap canvas order. Just so pretty in person! The camera just doesn't show all the detail unless you see it in person.

Baby S One Year Cake Smash Celebration

Wed, 05 Aug 2020 20:55:29 GMT

It's Baby S One Year Cake Smash Celebration!

When mom called my to schedule her one year birthday session, I was beyond thrilled because I photographed her as a newborn baby and was so excited to see how much she had grown. Such a beautiful baby girl! It is such an honor to get to watch my clients grow up before the eyes of my camera.

Normally, I photograph babies this age in the studio during morning hours since the late afternoon/evening is what I call the "witching hour" for little ones. They just get tired and cranky at the end of the day. Though, Covid-19 has caused some constraints, we moved the session outdoors in a well ventilated area so that we could abide by safety regulations. Baby S did amazing but did tire out toward the end.

I'm so happy that we were able to find a workaround to having this special milestone photographed and that we weren't held back by limitations. This session was photographed during my absolute favorite time of day,....goldenhour!

The timing of this session couldn't have been more perfect as we scheduled a couple of days after Hurricane Hanna hit the McAllen area but right before the arrival of our Texas sized mosquitoes. Those things could carry off a small child. :)

Mom and dad were so helpful in getting her attention. They all sang her favorite nursery rhymes together.

Be a mermaid in a sea full of fish!

Tue, 04 Aug 2020 00:33:15 GMT

Be a mermaid in a sea full of fish and never forget to always dream higher than the sky and as deep as the ocean.

Mermaid Cousins!

Thu, 16 Jul 2020 18:42:40 GMT

What a special memory these cute cousins will have to look back on from this mermaid session. They don't see each other often enough during the year but every summer they gather at South Padre Island for fun in the sun, sand and beach. This is usually when all of the families are able to get together, and for the cousins, it's like they haven't missed a beat. They just have so much fun together bonding. All of them are at that magical time in their lives where dreams are big and make-believe is real. So what better time than now to photograph their biggest dreams,....becoming a mermaid.

What is even more special is that all of these crowns are hand made. Two of the crowns are made from their grandmother's shells that were collected at South Padre Island.

Sassy mermaids! This was an outtake of them just sitting around before I started posing them.

Kids just being kids,.....run, play, swim, get all sandy, run in the ocean,....REPEAT!

You glow differently when you're happy!

Tue, 19 May 2020 23:40:25 GMT

You glow differently when you're happy!

I just loved how shooting in this sunflower field made everyone feel......Just happiness and joy. The bright yellow and all the sunshine lent itself so well to a session full of smiles, laughter, and light-heartedness.

~In a field of flowers, I will always pick you!~

Tue, 19 May 2020 23:24:12 GMT

~In a field of flowers, I will always pick you!~

Driving out to this sunflower field was such a breath of fresh air after being stuck in quarantine for so long. The drive to our destination was relaxing and it felt so good to get away. Just being out in the sunflower field gave us such a feeling of joy. Being surrounded by bright yellow flowers brought such happiness. If you’re thinking of doing a sunflower session PM ASAP. I don’t know how much longer this field will be there.

Sweet young lady!

Wed, 08 Apr 2020 02:59:19 GMT

The preteen years....such a special stage to photograph. It’s such a unique time that you don’t want to miss documenting. Remnants of childhood with teenage ambitions.
This young lady is such a beautiful soul,...strong, empathetic, intelligent, spunky. Love watching you grow sweet girl!

Welcome to the World Baby B

Thu, 26 Mar 2020 21:48:26 GMT

There's just something so special to me about having the privilege to photograph newborns. While I love and adore all the cute snuggled up poses they will fall asleep into, it's the family images that pull at my heart strings the most. Capturing the earliest memories of a new family member and all of the joy they bring to the people that love them most. Family is so important and so is remembering how we looked at this time in our lives. People change over time and so do families. They grow together and apart, some go to college, some will have new siblings, some will enter adulthood, some will grow old and some will pass-on. It's all so fleeting! So, to mom,......I hope you always remember when looking at your portraits how tiny your baby was in your arms. In 3 short months your baby will look so different. It's bittersweet isn't it? Watching them grow up and also wanting them to stay little in our arms.

That's why it is so dear to my heart to be able to document these moments for families. It is my hope that these portraits will remain heirlooms in their family that will be passed on to their children, passing the test of time, and remaining in their hearts forever.

Thank you so much for trusting me with your special memories!

Sister with her new baby brother. When I was photographing them together, I could just see her all her lit up with excitement and joy over her new sibling.

All nestled up. Too cute!

Mom's special request.....the American Flag.

Dad loves baseball and specifically the Yankees.

Skin to skin with baby is such a pure moment to capture.

Outtakes are the best aren’t they?! Oopsie, baby had an accident......straight down his pants. This Dad was a great sport for putting up with all of this. 😂

Innocence

Thu, 12 Mar 2020 03:00:00 GMT

There is just something about a child that gives me a stoic look when I’m photographing them. I think it makes me gaze into the innocence in their eyes. All the wonder they must have for the big life they have ahead of them. This image was taken just a few shots before all the laughing, goofy kid faces that were next which I love, but this one,.....this one got to me.

Welcome to the World baby A

Mon, 02 Mar 2020 22:26:08 GMT

This sweet baby boy was a dream to photograph. He is one of the easiest babies I've worked with. He slept so well the entire session and allowed me to pose him in any cute position that I wanted (baby A was photographed at 12 days old.) Plus he's such a lucky baby boy,.....you can just see the love his parents have for him in these portraits. He will one day look back on these images and see all the joy he brought to his family.

For more information on newborn portrait photography check out the drop down menu under the "investment" tab. For scheduling and availability email/call/ text 956.320.1105 [email protected] CLICK HERE FOR SCHEDULING AND AVAILABILITY

Goodnight, sleep tight.

So stinking cute when they smile while dreaming.

All the tiny details.

This last one is just for dad and he brought in this helmet for baby A to be photographed in. One day they will probably share the sport together.

Mommy-Daughter Time

Tue, 19 Nov 2019 20:45:00 GMT

“Mommy,...can we put on your high heels, red lipstick and take pictures?”
Um....of course we can!
The first image made me so aware of how much she looks up to me and the last one freaked me out. In a few years she won’t think I’m so cool anymore. What’s with that sassy teenager look?! (No more pictures mom!)

Salinas Family Beach Session

Mon, 18 Nov 2019 23:27:54 GMT

What a sweet November day this was at South Padre Island. The beach was incredible that day; cool, no wind, the beach all to ourselves and the most gorgeous sunset. Absolutely perfect day for a family session!

Three little ones under four was quite the challenge for any posed portraiture so lots of play was in order! We played tag and Simon Sez together and I got my workout in for the day. We looked for sand crabs and seashells and dunked our toes in the cool water.

Not only will this family have beautiful memories to look back on, but I will hold these memories in my heart as well. The joy and laughter and even a few tears from the little's after a long time playing. I am truly blessed to be able to experience this with them.

The sunset was so amazing on my drive home from SPI that I had to stop and take an image bay side.

C's Sitter Session

Tue, 12 Nov 2019 23:39:50 GMT

My niece is one of the happiest babies I know! All smiles in E-V-E-R-Y image. She's just learning to sit up so she still needs some support which makes the heart bowl so helpful. Can't wait for her next session when she can sit up all on her own.

Happy Halloween!

Sweet girl, I hope you never stop dreaming and one day when you're grown, you look back on this time in your life and remember what your dreams were all about.

All you need is love!

Mon, 28 Oct 2019 23:52:04 GMT

This was such a sweet session showcasing the bond between mama and baby. You can just feel the love these two have for each other.

And baby "I" is such a little doll. I just want to hug her and squeeze her. She is so so cute! I can't even with how adorable she is. The neatest thing was how she enjoyed listening to the sound of the flash from my studio lights. Every time I clicked the shutter she smiled right at me. Such a happy baby!

Changes

Mon, 28 Oct 2019 23:34:24 GMT

I've always loved using symbolism in art work,...so when this mama and I were gathering ideas on creating a fine art piece, she said, she's noticed butterflies crossing her path lately. So using them in this piece was just perfect!

Oh the changes that motherhood brings and how you two will grow together through those changes over the years. I'm so excited for you to have this gallery wrap canvas to admire in your home each day as a reminder of where you have been, where you two are going, and the love you two have for each other.

Forest Princess

Thu, 24 Oct 2019 18:00:00 GMT

So this little girl came to me with this big beautiful ball gown that made her feel just like a princess. Mom said that she wanted to document this time in her life so she could remember how special this dress made her feel. I interviewed Miss M and I asked her to close her eyes and imagine the magical place that she goes to in her minds eye when she puts on that dress. She told me that she was in a forest with butterflies all around her and there was a castle nearby. So began the creation of this fine art piece.

Meet Addison, Easter Seals Advocate of the year!

Tue, 08 Oct 2019 22:23:30 GMT

Meet Addison, Easter Seals Advocate of the year!

Did you know October is Down syndrome Awareness Month? I want you to meet Addison Bortnick, Easterseals Advocate Of The Year and ask you to take a moment to get to know this amazing young woman with Down Syndrome that is inspiring our community to be fully inclusive!
This passionate self advocate is on a mission to replace DOUBT with KNOWLEDGE, replace FEAR with LOVE, and to replace SEGREGATION with INCLUSION. Go check out this passionate self-advocate on her youtube channel. Please like and subscribe to show your support. CLICK HERE---> Love & Dream Without Limits | Powerful Message From Self Advocate Addison Bortnick

I am so inspired by the huge things that she has done in her community and it was such a pleasure to photograph her. She is doing huge things and I'm so excited to help her spread the word.

At the young age of 12 Addison is a passionate self advocate with a courageous heart full of God’s Love. She has BIG BIG BIG dreams of making the world fully inclusive. She is on a mission to replace doubt with knowledge, replace fear with love, and to replace segregation with acceptance. Her goal is to soften hearts and show the world that ALL people deserve the right to be accepted and included as they are, regardless of their diagnosis. There are no limits to anyone’s potential.

With LOVE anything is possible, because Love never fails- Corinthians 13:8

Before Addison could communicate with words, she was the cover girl for Children’s Ministry Magazine and was also chosen to be the cover girl for the book titled Special Needs Ministry for Children. Addison didn’t need words to share God’s love. Her contagious smile, trust in others, and beautiful heart was her way of letting her light shine reflecting God’s love. Addison continued to be in numerous magazines and newspapers in her younger years touching many lives.

Once Addison became a fulltime student she immediately began paving the way for district change and a movement toward full inclusion for herself as well as all others with disabilities.

Addison’s persistence and positive attitude, despite her many obstacles, allowed her many abilities to take flight. Addison took great pride in her many academic achievements as well as her extracurricular activities including cheerleading and dance achievements.

Addison became very engaged in spreading awareness, acceptance and love for Down syndrome within her community. She was on the news a few times and helped in many ways with her local Buddy Walk.

Addison’s inspiration to others continued as she inspired the City of Abilene’s Art Walk. The Mayor presented a Proclamation to Addison along with her peers in The Upside Down Club, Inc.

to Proclaim January 14th “Inside Out & Upside Down Day” in Abilene, TX.

At the age of ten, Addison had found her VOICE and was eager to be a voice for all individuals not being taught that their voices are valuable She was eager to share her message "Love & Dream Without Limits to the world." Addison was invited to be the guest speaker at The Upside Down Clubs Annual Buddy Walk. Shortly after she got to speak in conjunction with an Emmy Award Winner at The Rio Grande Valley Down Syndrome Association’s Step Up for Down Syndrome event.

Addison’s passion for being a Voice for all others with disabilities lead her to take a stand and advocate in many ways. Addison spoke at Legislative Listening sessions, School board meetings, Cathy Middle School and many more. Addison won first place in the Texas District 12 4-H public speaking competition and also got honored as the 2018 Easterseals Advocate of the year. Addison got honored with an official House Resolution at the Texas State Capital!

We know this is just the beginning to all the incredible ways God is using her to be his hands and feet, paving the way for Equality and making this world fully inclusive! For with God nothing shall be impossible Luke 1:37

The Marquez Family

Mon, 30 Sep 2019 23:32:12 GMT

Such a beautiful family! Just love all these sweet faces!

Baby girl on the way!

Tue, 17 Sep 2019 17:25:54 GMT

What a gorgeous mama to be! It is such a blessing to be able to grow a tiny human. However, feeling yourself while doing that is a different story. Pregnancy can be so challenging yet so rewarding. At times you'll feel lousy and not your best self and other times, a glowing goddess empowered by the life inside you. So when I have the opportunity, as a photographer, to help that new mama feel sexy and beautiful just for a moment, that makes me smile ear to ear.

You are just beautiful inside and out; and I cannot wait to meet your baby girl!

Newborn portraits coming soon!

Love the dresses that she brought. Classic and timeless.

We also did a few images on a white background. This is one of her favorite images from the session.

I just adore these sweet faces!

So Mrs. B called me one afternoon and said "Hey! I found a cotton field out here in North McAllen, lets do our Family portraits soon!" So we planned a date, went to the cotton field and it was gone. I was so sad as I knew that photographing a family portrait in a cotton field at sunset would be beautiful. Mrs. B is so amazing that she went out on the hunt for another field and found one in South McAllen. I said lets plan ASAP, like tomorrow before they harvest it.

Oh and what a perfect field it was. I just love when clients come to me with new locations or ideas. It makes it a team effort and everyone has fun.

Mrs. B is probably one of the sweetest ladies I know. She is so warm and welcoming and when she first greats you, she'll give you a big 'ol Texas hug. Just makes you feel warm and loved. She's actually a photographer herself and I would love to have her on board my team soon. So look out for this friendly face in some collaborative projects to come. Her daughter Miss A is also doing some great things in advocacy that I'll talk about in another post soon.

As always, if you're looking for a family photographer in the McAllen Texas area please contact Kim for scheduling and availability [email protected] 956.320.1105 or email for availability or go the the main page and tap the red tab at the bottom of the page to get on my schedule. HERE!
