Merry Christmas

Hi y'all,

Well, Christmas is only 10 days away! And I wanted to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I am not sure if or when I will have the opportunity to blog in the next couple of weeks. I plan to spend time enjoying my family and friends at this most precious time of year as we celebrate the birth of Jesus. And I hope that each of you have the opportunity to enjoy the season.

Sunday was the football banquet for the Airport Eagles. Congratulations to all the players on a great year! Way to go boys! Of course, I took pictures at the banquet! If you right click on any of the pictures in the gallery, you can save them to your computer! Enjoy! Here is the link -

Love ya!

Kris

Whew!

Hi y'all,

It has been a very busy week for me. Since my last blog, my Dad had his surgery. And after a couple of days in the hosptial, he is home slowly recovering. Last week, my baby turned 13! So with a very full personal schedule, I was limited on the work stuff!

I did photograph part of the Pine Ridge Middle School Yellow Jackets and the Fulmer Falcons football game last week as well as the Airport Varsity Football game against South Aiken. Friday's game was special because Airport participated in Coach to Cure MD. We had 3 boys with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy run on the field with team! Thanks Davon, Cavon and Colin for running with them! And thanks to Coach Burnett and all the other coaches at Airprot for particiapting! We are hoping to make this an annual event at Airport! Thanks to everyone who contributed at the game or via text messaging!

The links to the two games are listed below. If you are interested in ordering any of the action pictures, please contact me at kris@kreationsbykrisphoto.com or (803)238-2296.

Go Eagles!!!

Hi y'all,

What a busy week!!!! I can't believe that I am actually blogging a little early this week with all the games and matches I photographed last week! And the only one I don't know the final of, is girls tennis! Both the volleyball and football teams won the games I photographed! Go Eagles!

Before I share the links for last week's game, I would like to take a moment to thank our trainers! In Friday's football game, we had 4 players hurt in the first half. Thank you to the trainers for being there and doing all that you do for all of the athletes at Airport.

This Friday, Airport is participating in the Coach for a Cure M.D. event. This is a national event that High School and Colleges participate in to help raise money and awareness of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Duchenne is a genetic disorder that causes the child (usually boys) to lose muscle function. There is not a cure and it is fatal. Please contribute whatever you can to help find a cure for Duchenne.

Just Because

Hi y'all,

A lot of what I have been photographing lately is just because I want to! This time of year is so busy for everyone I know. And I have had the great pleasure of capturing special memories for some of the special people in my life. In the past couple of weeks, I have taken pictures at a graduation, a couple of awards ceremonies, a 90th birthday celebration, a wedding and an ordination. Wow! I feel very blessed to be a part of these wonderful events.

I have enjoyed getting to know some of the students of Airport High School this year. I went to the graduation ceremony and watched as the Class of 2010 got ready to start the next chapter in their lives. I'm going to miss some of these kids!

I also had the great privilege of attending the 90th birthday celebration for Mrs. Agnes. She is an amazing women. I was thrilled to be able to take a few pictures that day as her family honored her on her birthday!

And last week, a very dear friend, Susan was ordained as a transitional deacon. I was thrilled when I was given permission to take pictures during the service. God blessed me with a talent for capturing memories for people. And I was gladd that I was able to capture this memory of Susan as she began her ordained life.

And of course, I took my daughter and niece to the studio for dance pictures! I can't believe that the girls have been dancing for 10 years now! Wow! What beautiful young ladies they are becoming!

I also took pictures at a wedding and I will post some of those pics in my next blog! I have some senior sessions coming up this summer and am looking forward to those! There are still spots available for senior sessions. Call and set up your appointment now!

I hope everyone is having a great summer!

Love ya!

Kris

Wonderfully busy!

Hey y'all,

It's that wonderfully busy, crazy time of year! The school year is ending. Summer vacation starts very soon and everything is winding down. Most of the kids extra activities are coming to an end. Are you ready for a trip to the beach? Schedule your beach portraits today!

I have a limited number of senior sessions still available for the class of 2011! Call for your appointment today.

My husband and I recently celebrated our 17th anniversary. We spent a wonderful weekend in Chimney Rock, North Carolina. It was nice to get away and relax. I was inspired by all the natural beauty around us. Here are a couple of the pictures I took while there. Don't laugh at the last one - that is my husband and I in front of a 404 waterfall! We had been hiking for over 4 hours when that was taken, so I look exhausted. But the views were worth it!



After coming home feeling relaxed and recharged, I had the opportunity to shoot the Dance 1 Studios recital rehearsal pictures. 3400 pictures in about 8 hours! But it is always so much fun. Dance parents can pick up a sheet at the studio with the info on how to see their dancer's pictures. Contact me if you have any questions or would like to place an order! Oh and by the way, the adult dance was so much fun! Can't wait to see what Melodie has in store for us next year!

More pictures to edit! Better get busy!

Love ya!

So blessed!

Hi y'all,

This weekend was very busy with lots of special things. A very dear friend was graduated from Columbia College. We had a celebration for her Saturday night! And Sunday was Mother's Day. Last night, as I was getting ready to go to bed, I realized just how blessed I am. I have an amazing husband, wonderful kids (even when they are picking at each other), great friends (yes, Cindy and MaryJo I am talking about you) and a terrific family (in laws very much included in that too). I am so blessed because I get to do something I love for a living. Life is good and I want to thank God for that.

I have been busy editing and ordering. I love all the new speciality products! Coffee mugs, travel mugs, license plates, dog tags, clipboards and calendars! Great gifts! Father's Day will be here before you know it. And there are lots of graduates too! Let me design a poster with your graduate's picture. Then the family and friends can sign it at the graduation party! It is a great way to preserve those memories.

The Baby and Child Contest is going on for one more month! Schedule those appointments now!

Also, I will be at Airport's graduation next month. I will do my best to get as many pictures of the graduates as I can and post them on Facebook. I have really enjoyed getting to know some of Airport's amazing students. I wish the Seniors of 2010 all the best. May you soar to new heights as you move on with life. Go Eagles!

There are a limited number of Senior Sessions for the class of 2011! Call to set up your session now. I have a some scheduled already and can't wait to get to those this summer!

And just so you know, my husband and I will be celebrating our 17th anniversary this coming weekend in North Carolina. I am not taking any work with me. I am trying to get everything finished before I go. I guess I had better get busy!

Love ya!
Kris

Happy Mother's Day!

Hi y'all,

Where is this year going? Mother's Day is this Sunday! And that means summer will be here before we know it! Need a gift for Mom? How about a gift certificate for portraits? We can make the portraits in the studio or on location. Have a favorite park or is the backyard beautiful? We can take them there. Going to the beach this summer? I will be happy to come and take your portraits there too!

I also have a variety of great gift items including jewelry with your pictures, coffee mugs, license plates, travel mugs, mouse pads, playing cards, clipboards and many more!

Remember the 2010 Baby and Child Contest is going on through June 15th! It is open to little ones up to age 12. This is a national contest with cash prizes. Call to set up your appointment today.

Also, there is a limited number of Senior Sessions for the class of 2011! These sittings are different from the traditional yearbook sitting. I will spend several hours with your senior capturing his or her personality in the senior portraits. It will be a truly unique experience. Call to schedule your appointment now!

I have lots of pictures to edit and orders to place, so I had better get busy!

Love ya!
Kris

Busy week!

Hi y'all,

Life is so busy, but it is wonderful! There is lots going on! Remember the Baby and Child Contest going on until June 15th. Children 12 and under are eligible to have an image entered in this national contest. Contact me for your appointment soon!

Also, there are limited number of Senior sessions available for the class of 2011. Contact me to set up your appointment for your unique portrait session!

I have been editing the pictures from Matt & Christa's wedding last weekend. Here are a couple pictures from that very special day. Congratulations again to the newlyweds!



I also had the great privilege of taking pictures at the Columbia's MDA Gala last Thursday. The MDA is a wonderful organization that helps so many people. This cause is near and dear to my heart because my nephew was recently diagnosed with Duchenne's Muscular Dystrophy. I was so pleased to be able to volunteer to help however I can!



I also had a lot of fun at Pine Ridge's Eighth Grade Banquet Friday night. Everyone looked so nice all dressed up. The formal pictures will be ready in a couple of weeks.

Going to the beach this summer? Having lots of family in from out of town? Important event? How about a family portrait? Call to schedule your appointments now!

Let's capture those very special memories!

Love ya!
Kris
