Where have I been you ask? I’ve been playing Santa and delivering a record number of holiday cards for Katherine Chambers Photography! Wow, it’s true, I’ve never done SO many holiday cards in all these years. It’s so fun to see my clients faces when they open their own holiday card. It makes me feel JOY to give that joy to someone else.

Ok…back to work for me. I leave you with the most precious little dolls…

This is what you look like when you have your whole life still in front of you. Could she be anymore naturally beautiful?! Seriously, I’m jealous, and I certainly did not look like this when I was in high school! Just wanted to share this before the summer sessions got too far away from me. Also, fyi, the Katherine Chambers style guide is now going to be over on Facebook. Yep, I did it! Dear Lord help me, but I’m on Facebook now so stop over and check me out:)

Proofing galleries are coming soon. I WILL be emailing you shortly. Thank you for your patience!

Until then…a sweet treat…

Oh, and there is so much more to show you from the mini sessions. We had such a blast shooting these. Can’t you just hear the laughter?! If I didn’t give you a peek yet it’s not because I don’t love you. They’re coming…cross my heart! Until then, here are a few in NO particular order. The holiday schedule is in full swing and it’s adding a whole new element of neglect to my blog. Sorry little blog but I’ll be back soon…

I wasn’t exactly sure what to call this post. I wanted to show a portrait from the first photo session I did with this young lady waaaaaay back in 2002, when I believe she was 7 years old. But alas, I couldn’t get my film scanner up and running (yes people, I said FILM–Yikes!). I’ve photographed this gorgeous girl and her sister many times over the last 9 years and I felt a bit sentimental over this shoot. She’s so grown-up and such a beauty!

Enjoy!

Literally! Mamba Jamba is it hot out there!

I’m just getting ready to burn these to a disk and thought I’d share some images of this beautiful family. They were such troopers out there in the heat. Ultimately they rocked it out and were rewarded with ice cream!

This IS Storey and her big brother Eamon! They are so completely sweet, funny, independent; all the things you want your children to be:) It was an absolute pleasure to photograph them!

If you are interested in a summer, outdoor photo session, please contact us asap. The kids go back to school in 6 weeks, yes 6 WEEKS so lets capture those kiddos before we’re all into the crazy fall madness that is certainly coming!

At least that’s how these “chillaxed” parents made everything seem (yes, I just used that word!). Everything was very calm and there was a very tranquil vibe in this house. I think that shows on the peaceful little faces I met that day.

Ahhh, to be three again. I’ve worked with this family many times before but this photo shoot was just for their youngest. She possesses the exuberance that only a three year old has!

I just met this gorgeous family for the first time this year. The Mom and I have a mutual obsession with the clothing store/catalog Mini Boden (Ugh, I’m obsessed!). She said her husband hides the catalog when it comes in the mail. I’m happy to say that my husband hasn’t caught on to that trick yet:)

It was a perfect afternoon; great light, happy kids and a beautiful fall day!

This is the second time I’ve had the pleasure of working with this family. Last time there was just one sweet little girl and now they have two! I had a blast running around outside with them and there was no shortage of energy from this exuberant two year old!

I’m way behind on my proofing so that’s it for now. Got to run…

I’m in full holiday mode here photographing lots of families, planning their holiday cards and getting orders ready. I start thinking about the holidays in June! I thought I’d share some images of this beautiful family. I’ve got to admit that, even though I’m a jeans and t-shirt kind of girl, I’m a sucker for a little girl in a fancy dress!

Dear Mom and Dad of Adorable Little Girl,

If you were wondering how many great shots we got? This is just the tip of the iceberg!

What can I say, I love my job!

I’m getting lots of calls and emails asking me the following…

Q: When is a good time to shoot for our holiday cards?

A: Now! I need to have the session shot before the first week in November to ensure enough time to proof the images, give you time to review everything and then get everything printed.

Q: When should we schedule our session to get the best fall colors?

A: Now! My fall schedule is almost completely full. I have a few openings in October. After that, the leaves are pretty much gone and it gets pretty chilly and wet outside.

Q: What should we wear this time of year?

A: Be prepared for anything! Layers are a good idea, that way if it’s a warmer day we can strip off the sweaters, jackets and coats and if it’s a cooler day (which, lets be realistic, we’re in Northeast Ohio, it could snow!) everyone will stay comfortable. Cold children are not happy children. Colorful coats, hats, scarves and mittens look great in photos!

Q: Should we all wear the same thing?

A: NO! Outfits should coordinate but everyone should not wear the same thing. I like to think of it as one big outfit. Does that red and blue stripe shirt look good with a purple plaid skirt? If not, then you are not coordinated! The days of khaki and white are over (thank goodness)! Two girls can certainly wear the same dress, or buy matching pieces from the same line that go well together.

Q: Should we wear white? All solids? NO! color, patterns and texture make images pop both in color and in black and white. Please avoid store and team logos.

Q: Should we “dress up” if we want to use these for holiday cards?

A: Heck no! Dress like you normally would! Clean and well put together.

Moms- Wear something you think you look cute in. Wear something comfortable. Wear something you would buy even if it was not for a photo shoot. Do not wear white. Wear a color. Wear black on top (black looks good on everyone). Wear the same amount of makeup you normally would. Wear your hair the same way you always do. If you feel self conscience about your arms (like me!) than please wear sleeves.

Dads- Don’t wear a stiff button down shirt and dress shoes! Come prepared to play with the kids. You need to be able to run, jump and play ball. ! I think the moral of the story is… Be comfortable. Be yourself.

Another adorable family I just photographed!
