Handsome kid, huh? A very handsome kid who just happens to be currently residing in my abdomen! BAM! That arrangement should end sometime during the holiday season. He’ll be vacating his humble abode just in time for Christmas. We’re SO gonna wrap him up and stick him in a manger for a photo. ‘Cause Garth and I are cool like that. We’re ALL about embarrassing our kids, even during their first days of life. Maybe we’ll even do a naked butt picture to show his future girlfriend!

This little guy is gonna change more than a few things in my life, including photography. So, I’ll be slowly limiting my session availability between now and the fall, and in September, I will officially be off the photography grid! Why such an early departure? Well, my sister and my BFF are also having kids (both due in the fall), so as I help them welcome their little ones, I want to take the opportunity to really adjust the idea of having a baby.

When will I be returning? Not sure. But if you’re in need of a photographer while I’m gone, shoot me an email. I can recommend the best photographers in the city so you can be sure to have a happy photography experience, even in my absence!

Just wanted to let you all know that I’ve been having trouble with my email over the past two weeks. The trouble started when an out-of-office message did go out. I returned all the emails I received during my vacation, but since then it’s become apparent that I’m not receiving all emails that are being sent to me, nor are all the emails I’m sending actually making it to their intended recipients.

Thank you for your patience if this has affected you. If you prefer, please fee free to call or text me at the phone number provided in the connect section of the website.

I’ll be on the phone tomorrow with the tech people who are the keepers of the email servers to find out what’s going on and how to fix it!

Loyally, apologetically, and ever-happily,

Kelly

I didn’t want to steal anyone’s thunder by including their images in this inaugural post, so I’ll give you a sneak peek into the life of me and my BFF Garth. Just a couple weeks ago, we went on a winter get-a-way to Puerto Rico and the Virgin islands. First of all, I have to give major props to Celebrity Cruises for being frickin’ saweet. Seriously, I’ve been pretty spoiled with super fancy hotels over the course of my life (thanks mom + dad!), but the Celebrity Solstice held its candle high, even when compared to 5-star resorts! If you’re going to cruise, you’d be wacky to look anywhere else. I must also sing the praises of my new point and shoot camera! Nate tells you WHY it’s so awesome here, but I’m not going to bore you with technical jargon. If you know how to work a camera and don’t want to lug your giant DSLR around all the time, buy this. Just trust me. One thing Nate forgot to mention in his review is that this camera has some really cool vintage styling going on so you won’t look like a giant douche wandering around all touristy with this thing around your neck. You’ll look hip and cool, just like me!
