I know it’s been awhile since my last post. Things are in full swing over here at KHP! This summer is chock full of lots of fun weddings I hope to share with you soon. Unfortunately the blog occasionally takes a back seat while I hurry to deliver the final product to my clients. Sometimes I get a chance to blog a wedding, and sometimes there just isn’t enough hours in the day. But until I get another chance, here is a little sneak peek at Lauren + Ackerly’s engagement session. 

Hope to see you soon!

I hope to have some new posts up soon!

Mammoth Lakes, CA.

Please note that I will be out of the office from Oct.1-Oct.19.  All print and album orders placed during that time will be processed on Oct.20th.  Thanks for your patience!  There will be TONS of new personal work to share when I get back, along with some fabulous weddings from the summer that I didn’t have time to blog about before my departure.  I will have some email access, but phone might be the best way to get  in touch with me…

Pip will be holding down the office while I’m away.

Well, maybe it’s the new look that I’ve been working on around here that’s got me motivated, but I’ve decided to make a promise to my blog readers: fresh new blog posts every Monday and Thursday morning!  So be sure to check back twice a week to see some new work.

And  in case you are interested, I’ve got a fresh site up: KIMHAYESPHOTO.COM

I’ve decided to concentrate on big images that load fast, and to cut out all the extra stuff on my website + blog.  It’s all about the photos, right?  The new site is iPhone compatiable, which is super important these days.  Most of the sites I look at lately are from my iPhone.

Be sure to check back Monday morning for a new post!  Here is another shot of the beautiful Eman from last weekend:

I have a selection of 9 framed photographs left over from my show at the Seattle Healing Art Center this past summer.  I’m selling these bad boys at a discounted price to move them out of my office closet.   To save and/or purchase your prints, email me directly at: kim (at) kimhayesphoto.com.  (or click on email above)  I expect these to go fast, so email me asap if you are interested.  These are all Giclee’ fine art prints with a super thick 8 ply mat, in a custom black frame.  They look awesome, if I do say so myself.  If you have questions, don’t be afraid to ask…

If you live in the Seattle area, I will deliver them to your door.  If you live out of the area, a small shipping fee will apply.  Sale price does not include tax.

These first 7 prints measure 23″ x 17.5″  (or 17.5″ x 23″ depending on the orientation of the photograph- including the frame) on sale for $175 each.

Sunflower 1:

Ocean Shores Tree- SOLD

Tree Shadow:

San Juan Lighthouse:  SOLD

Manzinita Tree:

Moclips Trees:  SOLD

Corn 1:

These next two are a little larger.  They are square and measure 22″ by 22″ including the frame and are on sale for $200 each.

Water 1:  SOLD

Sunflower 2:

On a side note, I will be out of the office until next Wednesday to visit my newest little niece in Tennessee.  I can’t wait to meet her!   I will have some email access while visiting, but phone may be the quickest way to get a hold of me.

See you soon!

Pip says “I dare you to leave this cute face.”

I will be away from the office for a glorious week in the wilderness, totally unplugged.  Casey + I are celebrating our 2 year anniversary!  I will respond to all emails and calls July 6th.

Looks like I made it on the “Top Photographers of 2008″ list over at WPJA.  I’ve tied with several other photographers at spot #104, so yes, I’m at the bottom.  But I don’t mind being at the bottom of the top list! :)  Since WPJA is international, I’ve competed with wedding photographers in every country in the world!  I’m pretty pumped that I made it here… maybe 2009 will put me mid list?  A girl can dream.  

I also placed in the recent contest over at ISPWP.  Check out all the winners [ HERE ]
