Little man turns one! Oh my goodness, I can't believe how quickly the last year flew by. I'm sure his Mama would agree...x10! He has grown to be such a handsome little man. So blessed to have been able to watch him grow over the past year.</div>

Milestone sessions are quickly becoming my favorite! I love excuses to get to see these little ones grow. I get to check in on them every few months and see how their personalities have change, what new tricks they've learned, and how much they've grown.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This little man just turned 6 months old. I haven't seen him since he was a newborn, so what a treat to see his sweet smile.</div>

My love for newborns began long before I picked up my first camera. I figure, being a big sister of 9, you either run for cover or embrace it. I guess you can say I fully embraced it. :) It would only make sense that my 2 loves would eventually collide.... and here we are.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Just a little glimpse into a newborn session: I prefer to have the session within the first 3-5 days of baby's birth. This is the perfect time period (in my opinion) to catch those sleepy, snuggly, sweet poses. I bring my whole set up right to Mom & Dad. Why leave home when you can sit down and relax while having these sweet memories captured?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This week I got to meet my newest client. He was my 4th baby boy to be photographed within 4 days!! (I'll be posting the other ones soon). This little man was a champ. He slept the entire session, and gave me just about every shot I wanted.</div>

<br />
It's not very often that the babies I work with don't cave in the warm soothing environment that I create for them, in fact, the adults present usual end up pretty sleepy themselves (myself included!). But this little girl was able to resist it all! I'm pretty sure I spent more time cuddling her, than actually taking photographs, but the baby lover in me didn't mind one bit. Though she decided to stay awake for much of the session, I was still able to sneak in a few shots here and there. Here are a few, isn't she a beauty?!? :)<br />
<br />
Take a look...<br />

I first met her family back in May for their maternity session. During my original phone conversation with Mama, she requested I come take pictures the day after the baby was born in the hospital. I had a planned trip out of state a couple of weeks before her due date, but we were going to plan for it and see how it went.<br />
<br />
A couple days before I left, she wasn't sure that baby was going to wait until I got back, but much to my surprise, she was born the day before I came home. She had perfect timing! :) I drove home, dropped my family off, then went straight to the hospital to meet her.<br />
<br />
How perfect is she?!?<br />

A few days later they brought her to the studio. She was a champ! No breaks needed & I got all of my "planned" shots, plus a few more, in less than 2 hours.<br />

Looking forward to watching her grow as I capture her milestones at 3, 6, 9, & 12 months!~Kristinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07447584667966798268noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4750215424850946975.post-88417179493490316452013-05-27T12:10:00.000-04:002013-05-29T23:38:38.893-04:00Years of growing...I often see the quote: "The only photographer you should compare yourself to is yourself". A couple of years ago, I wrote a post about how I got started into photography, you can read it <a href="http://kbphotography10.blogspot.com/2011/07/where-it-began.html" target="_blank">here.</a> Though at the time I felt like I had been in it for a lifetime, It amazes me how many opportunities I've been given to grow since.<br />
<br />
Three years ago next month, my sister-in-law asked me to take maternity photos for her. She was due with my niece within just a few weeks, and though I was thrilled, I'll admit I was just a little terrified to take them. The perfectionist it me will often keep me from trying things I'm not 100% sure I can achieve. It's amazing how the world of photography will take me out of my comfort zone (in a good way)!<br />
<br />
I was happy with the outcome of their photos. They were by no means perfect, but I proved to myself that day I <i>could</i> do it. Here are a few...<br />

What have I've learned? My love for color outshines how I {thought} I felt about black & white back then! :)<br />
<br />
I've had more newborn sessions than I can count between the births of my 2 nieces. I have only fallen in love more as the years go by. I could do this every.single.day.<br />

To my family, friends, and clients (who become friends!). Thank you for supporting me, trusting me with your memories, and watching me grow. I have lots of growing to do, and I'm excited to see what the future holds!</div>

Though a lot of my behind the scenes work happens at a desk (or sitting on my couch instead), I am too much of a people person to not have some type of interaction. One of my favorite things about being a photographer is getting to meet so many new people!<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I had the pleasure of working with a family yesterday who is waiting on the arrival of their 3rd child...but 1st baby girl. :) Their boys are so incredibly sweet, I can imagine how protective they will grow to be of their baby sister. She is one lucky girl!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am truly looking forward to meeting her this summer. Take a peek...</div>

Has it really been since last summer? Surely the date on the last blog is lying, right? :)<br />
<br />
So summer goes into ::my busiest time of the year::... enter holiday photos. Following that I made ::the:: big switch. I'm now a Mac girl, and oh how PC I've been trained over the years! I thought it'd be an easy adjustment, but I'll be honest, I've been playing catch up since January. Only in the past 2-3 week have I felt that I really have a clue as to what I'm doing.<br />
<br />
And just in time for my mini baby boom...<br />
<br />
I've had 2 newborn sessions in the past week or so, and I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of my due-anyday-now-niece. I'm on to being an aunt of 12 here and I can honestly say, it NEVER gets old!<br />
<br />
A random thought before I get to pictures (because that is after all what I'm supposed to be blogging about). ;)<br />
<br />
You might notice I've changed my logo. There was some confusion with this (even in my own family) as to why I'd change after nearly 3 years. My name ::shocker:: is not the easiest to pronounce, and even more so, spell. I was finding it increasingly difficult for people to be able to interpret the spelling with my original logo being so fancy. I decided to make the switch to a much more "me" personality, and easier to read/spell. So there you go.<br />
<br />
So onto the pictures!<br />
<br />
Here's a pair of sessions...Maternity & Newborn...enjoy...<br />

<br />
I had the pleasure of photographing a wedding this past Friday at the Mount Washington overlook. I had not been there in years, and it was a breathtaking location for their wonderful day. God truly blessed by holding off the rain. I was told at the time of the ceremony, the weather radar showed rain in all the surrounding areas, but where we were was perfectly clear!<br />
<br />
Take a look...<br />

Cousins!<br />
<br />
My oldest niece is 36 hours older than my twin nephews, so I love hearing stories about cousins being born close together. My Mom & 2 of her cousins were born within 2 weeks of each other, and she still talks about how much fun it was going up together.<br />
<br />
These little ones are destined for adventures!<br />
<br />
Here's baby M...<br />

Do you also know the moment where the plan gets thrown out the window because life happens? Yeah, that's the story of my week. :o)<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I had my list: edit sessions, meet with clients, clean the house, go grocery shopping...not necessarily in that order, but a list just the same. Instead, life happened, there was a need, and I got a little visitor.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Me8saLKXtEI/T_5HDHIWCWI/AAAAAAAAAgo/659PleJ-ZzA/s1600/Shay3x.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Me8saLKXtEI/T_5HDHIWCWI/AAAAAAAAAgo/659PleJ-ZzA/s640/Shay3x.jpg" width="422" /></a></div>
<br />
Cute as a button, sweet as can be, and a complete distraction!! :o) Editing sessions got put on hold, my very sweet & understanding clients waited patiently to be met, the house didn't get cleaned, and grocery shopping was accomplished while she carried my list in her mouth. haha<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Df-EcVwdWHw/T_5HA1YmBWI/AAAAAAAAAgY/_ARp7aAPiuE/s1600/Shay1x.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Df-EcVwdWHw/T_5HA1YmBWI/AAAAAAAAAgY/_ARp7aAPiuE/s640/Shay1x.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
But though things didn't go exactly as planned, I was able to make memories with my niece. Memories that I may cherish more than she remembers, but important ones just the same.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OZ7kke_ZvgU/T_5HCGl6L_I/AAAAAAAAAgg/DTeH6bpQojM/s1600/Shay2x.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="422" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OZ7kke_ZvgU/T_5HCGl6L_I/AAAAAAAAAgg/DTeH6bpQojM/s640/Shay2x.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
So today as I am catching up on editing, e-mailing & scheduling with clients, & washing dishes at 11:30 P.M. I know that it's worth it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Because I have a few more days with her, and tomorrow morning I get to hear her talking sweetly in her bed, and will be greeted with a "hi" and very girly giggles and smiles.<br />
<br />
And we will begin another adventure...(and hopefully get things accomplished along the way!)<br />

Within 13 days, there have been 9 bithday celebrations, and a whole lot of cake! Come July 2nd, I can usually go a month or more without being interested in another bite. :o)<br />
<br />
Well, today was my sister-in-law's birthday, and since I finally managed to dump my memory card from this past week, I thought I would give her a gimps of her kiddos. I am finally catching up on our last birthday boom with pictures. 3 more to go & I'm all caught up...<br />
<br />
Take a peek...<br />

<br />
Beautiful, wonderful, crazy, fun, awesome, rare, priceless, memory, unique, interesting, amusing, exhausting, overheated, and amazing.<br />
<br />
All words I would use to describe these photos. My Mom requested a family photo for Mother's Day this year. This is NO easy task! So though we are a week late, we have fulfilled her request.<br />
<br />
With this result...

And just so you know...all you have to do is book your session in May, the session itself can take place anytime this year (or 2013 for newly expectant Moms)! So feel free to plan ahead for family portraits, that special birthday or milestone, baby-to-be, or 'just because'. :o)~Kristinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07447584667966798268noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4750215424850946975.post-14629856156577700902012-05-05T15:58:00.000-04:002012-05-05T21:53:50.403-04:00Buy 1 get 1 free...<br />
So I started writing this particular blog post in my head about 6 months ago. Sounds crazy, I know, but it gives a little more background not necessarily about my love of photography...but my love of {children}.<br />
<br />
I have {always} been a baby lover. As far back as I can remember. I don't remember when my younger brother (next in line of birth order) was born, but everyone from my first little sister, to my last little brother...memories. I wasn't one to play outside, help dad build things, or get dirty. I was a definite girly-girl...but not prissy. I was a Mama's helper, and by all definitions, born to be a baby lover.<br />
<br />
Sometime during my Mom's pregnancy with my {first} little sister, I decided it was perfect for her to have twins. I don't know where this obsession came from, but I tried to convince her that it was the best time. You see, being one that never found out the gender of her babies, she has a boy and girl name picked out. Both initials were "LJ", so naturally, a great reason to have twins, right? Well obviously it doesn't work out that way. Three siblings later...and both "LJ" names assigned...<br />
<br />
I remember like it was yesterday. My Mom had taken us to my aunt's house so she could go to her doctor's appointment. I {remember, baby lover!} desperately wanted to see her sonogram. I was the last on climbing into the van, and was begging to see it. She kept telling me she wanted Dad to see it first. ::Closing the door:: I ask: "But Mommy, is it twins?!?".<br />
<br />
That evening, my Dad sat on the couch and started to show us the sonogram. He pointed and said "see, here's the baby's head...and body...and feet"....."and here's the other baby's head..." ::squeal::!!!! I don't know that I've ever been so excited in my life! haha My Mom told me that earlier that day all she wanted to do was turn around and yell "Yes Kristin, it is twins, are you happy now?!?!?!?!".<br />
<br />
Yes Ma'am I am!<br />
<br />
So, it's my "fault" that there are twins in my family....it has absolutely nothing to do with the fact they run on both sides of my family. But either way, I was thrilled.<br />
<br />
Hard to believe it's been nearly 18 years since my twin brothers were born! We used to joke around that Mom bought 1 & got 1 free. (I'm sure the hospital bills begged to differ). I finished up their senior pictures today. If I thought doing photos of 1 graduating sibling was bad, 2 is no walk in the park! But they wouldn't be my brothers if they didn't give me a hard time, right? :o)
<br />
<br />
Well, take a look. :o) Feel free to comment below, I love getting feedback!

Love those eyes!~Kristinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07447584667966798268noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4750215424850946975.post-5754210489344927282012-04-26T22:21:00.000-04:002012-04-26T22:21:59.623-04:00Milestones...Milestones... I love photographing milestones! For those of you who may not be familiar, I am referring to capturing images throughout baby's first year. There are many ways people choose to do them, some like to capture it all...Maternity, Newborn, 3m, 6m, 9m, & 12m...while others will have them done for Newborn, 6m & 12m. There is no right or wrong way to do them, but I love looking back after baby's first birthday to see how he/she changed. It happens so quickly!<br />
<br />
This little guy was in for his 6 month session today! I have already photographed their maternity photos & his newborn.<br />
<br />
Isn't he adorable?<br />

I spent the week at the RIU Palace Punta Cana. It was absolutely gorgeous there! It is an all inclusive resort, and let's just say I was a little spoiled by the end of the week. Mostly by the weather: I went from sunshine and 84 degrees, to 44 degrees and raining in less than 4 hours! ugh<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Take a look:</div>

<div>
Isn't it beautiful? I got up at 6:30am (yes, on vacation!) to get this without people everywhere. Definitely worth it. :o)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But I digress...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Last year when my cousin got engaged, I learned they were planning a destination wedding. At first, I'll be honest, I was a little disappointed because I wanted so badly to be at their wedding. I never considered the possibility of going until my Mom said "why not"? It took a moment before it set in, and I realized "why not"?!? I've never had the opportunity to do anything like this before, and I'm so glad I did.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
They had the most perfect day for their wedding. All fears of "too much wind" were set aside as we were met with perfection that morning. "70% chance of sunshine" :o)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have so many more photos, but here is a glimpse into their perfect day. I was honored to be part of it, and loved capturing each moment.</div>

One of my most lasting memories has always been our celebrations each year. I'm pretty sure we can thank my oldest sister for getting this one started, but each year we've "surprised" my parents and made dinner.<div><br />
</div><div>This isn't just any dinner of course, it's like a 15 course meal, and bless my parents for being patient...it is NEVER on time! I don't think it ever matters what time we begin, but it's usually 7...8...9...o'clock by the time we sit down to eat. </div><div><br />
</div><div>If the phone rings during dinner, my Mom will inform the caller that she is enjoying her "romantic candle light dinner for 14" (though this number has jumped over the years), and yes, there really are candles...but romantic? Well...maybe not so much. :o)</div><div><br />
</div><div>Well, tomorrow marks 32 years. I went grocery shopping for "the meal" after work today, and I am passing the torch of dinner making privileges to my younger siblings to carry on. This year, I get to be a guest, unless of course they're running late!</div><div><br />
</div><div>So in honor of my parent's 32 years of celebration, I would like to offer a 32% discount on all previous sessions* (prior to 2012). In order to take advantage of this special, simply e-mail me at kbphotography10@yahoo.com before the stroke of midnight on February 14, 2012 to receive your coupon code. I will upload your session(s) onto my website: www.kbphotography10.com & you will have until Friday February 17, 2012 to place your order.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Speaking of celebrating...</div><div><br />
</div><div>We also celebrated a first birthday in the studio this past weekend, and a blog post isn't a post without pictures, so enjoy...</div><div><br />

A few days ago, I had the privilege of photographing my very first set of newborn twins. :o)<br />
<br />
First off, just want to mention again how much I appreciate my little sister. I think she was {almost} as excited about this as I was! Here's a little gimps of her in action.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iE6YhuqB1JM/TzXQkWFd0uI/AAAAAAAAAbw/nLWhqz8eP88/s1600/Sitting+001+Clever.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iE6YhuqB1JM/TzXQkWFd0uI/AAAAAAAAAbw/nLWhqz8eP88/s640/Sitting+001+Clever.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>I'm convinced she has become a mind reader, she knows exactly what I'm thinking most of the time! I love working with her.<br />
<br />
These sweet babies were 5 days old, and did very well once we got all settled in.<br />
<br />
Enjoy...<br />

Each vendor took part in supporting the bair foundation. I sold tickets for a chance to win a Gift Certificate, and a winner has been chosen!<br />

I cannot believe he is 3 months old already!<br />
<br />
I know the blog has been quiet, I have taken a much needed break after the holidays. But don't worry, I'm still here. :o) I've had the opportunity to do some behind-the-scenes work, and am now offering new collections and products. SO exciting!<br />
<br />
Enjoy your weekend!~Kristinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07447584667966798268noreply@blogger.com0
