Sorry!

Hi y'all,

I know that I promised to blog the links for the previous week's game every Tuesday. I hope to be able to put the links up tomorrow. Sorry. I have developed a case of vertigo and it and the medicines have wiped me out! I did manage to take lots of pictures, just have not been at the computer to edit until today. I promise to work on them today and tomorrow and hope to post them by tomorrow afternoon!

Thanks for understanding!

Love ya!

School is starting!

Hi y'all,

Much to the delight of most parents and the horror of the students, school is starting! And the beginning of the school year means that the fall sports season is upon us! I am so excited to have the sports contract at Airport High School! Besides taking all the the team and individual pictures of our student athletes, I plan to photograph some games of each sport. You can read my blog every Tuesday afternoon for links to the previous week's games. And yes, I will photograph every Varsity football game (depending on the weather) because my son does play. I will do my best to be at as many games as possible for all the sports.

In the past week, I photographed a football scrimmage against Dutch Fork and the jamboree game against Lexington. Next week I will have JV and Varsity Volleyball as well as more football. The links for last week's games are:

Dutch Fork - www.kreationsbykrisphoto.com/AHSFBVvsDF/index.html

Lexington - www.kreationsbykrisphoto.com/AHSFBVvsLex/index.html

After you look at the pictures, if you are interested in purchasing any of the pictures, please contact me for pricing by email - kris@kreationsbykrisphoto.com or phone 238-2296.

If your student plays a fall sport, I will be photographing their team and individual pictures over the next few weeks. I will be taking pictures for JV Cheerleaders, JV and Varsity Volleyball on Wednesday, August 18th and all three football teams on Friday, August 20th. I will be scheduling Cross Country, Girls Tennis, Girls Golf and Varsity Cheerleaders soon. I am looking forward to working with the student athletes, parents and coaches of Airport! Go Eagles!

As a parent, I understand the financial conditions of our schools. As a small business owner, I want to help. For any one from Airport High School: parent, student, faculty or staff, that books a portrait session with me, I will give 10% of your portrait purchase back to Airport. This offer is good all school year! And it does not effect the current special at the time!

And the special for August is 16 free wallets with your portrait purchase! Book your session now! It's not too early to start thinking about Christmas presents! And I have plenty of gift ideas for you! Did you know I can custom design your Christmas cards for you. Why not send one with a family portrait on it? Call me to set up your appointment now! 238-2296

Looking forward to a great school year!

Love ya!

Getting ready!

Hi y'all,

Are you ready for school and all the kids activities to start? It will be here before you know it. A lot of the high school sports have already started conditioning! I have been getting ready for this upcoming school year. I will be doing all the team and invidual sports pictures for Airport High School this year. I am planning to also take action shots at as many games as possible.

I have been busy with edits and designs from several recent sittings and events. I designed and ordered these adorable accordian albums from a sitting. You have to order at least three. They are $10 each, but they make great gifts for grandparents. And you can keep one in you purse also!

I also designed some Save the Date cards for this fun engagement session!

And then birth announcements for a new little one!

And finally collage prints for some other new little ones!

Remember that you get a free 8x10 with your paid portrait purchase from now until July 31st. Schedule those special sessions now! I look forward to working with you soon!

Love ya!

Kris

Babies!!!!

Hi y'all,

Sorry it has been so long! Very busy month personally. And I had plenty of babies to photograph this month! Yeah! I love babies! First was little KJ! Too cute! And boy could he move.


Then I had fun meeting Aaden's new baby sister, Aaren! So sweet!


Then I had the chance to photograph Zach!


And finally Andrew!


Too many cuties! I had so much fun with all these adorable little ones! I also did an engagement session, but saving those pictures until the Save the Date cards have been mailed! Don't want to spoil Sammie and Karla's surprise!

I am getting things ready for Airport sports, but there is plenty of time to schedule your family session or a Senior session! Call for your appointment today. Remember that the current special is a free 8x10 with your paid portrait order. Looking forward to helping with your photographic needs!

Love ya!

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!

Kris

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
