And just like that...

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.

Take a look...

'Caught' Orange-handed! ;)

6 months and growing...

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.

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.

Take a peek...

Coming soon...

I've always said I could not have a desk job. 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!

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!

I am truly looking forward to meeting her this summer. Take a peek...

Welcome baby girl...

I'm going into a busy weekend of photography, and this morning, Hannah & I had the privilege of meeting this sweet baby girl! She did so wonderful. :o)

Take a peek...

I just lover her little cheeks!

Photographing a wedding tonight, sneak peek to come!

Mother's day...

Mother's Day is 1 week away! I wanted to let everyone know about a few specials I am running this month in celebration of this special day. The best part is, you don't have to be a Mom to take advantage of them!

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)

Introducing mr & mrs...

Last week I experienced many firsts. :o) First time needing a passport, first time out of the country (not counting Canada), first time para-sailing...and the list goes on. 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

Take a look:

Isn't it beautiful? I got up at 6:30am (yes, on vacation!) to get this without people everywhere. Definitely worth it. :o)

But I digress...

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.

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)

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.

God Bless you both as you begin your lives together! I couldn't be happier for you. :o)

2 & 1/2 weeks new...

Today I had the privilege of photographing baby Austin. He is such an incredibly sweet baby, and at 2 & 1/2 weeks old, he was the perfect little model. :o)

Take a look at his sneak peek...

Valentine's special...

Valentine's Day has always been a little extra special around my house growing up, because, it is also my parents' anniversary. :o) Now, I am all about tradition, and making memories. 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.

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.

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)

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!

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.

A special sneak peek...

I achieved a milestone of my own this week. :o) I photograph twins a lot, but I didn't start doing this professionally until after they were all older. A few days ago, I had the privilege of photographing my very first set of newborn twins. :o)

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.

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.

These sweet babies were 5 days old, and did very well once we got all settled in.

Enjoy...

 

I'm already looking forward to doing more twin sessions in the future. :o)
