Football update

Hi all,

Due to the sudden death of my nephew last night, I will not be putting last week's game pictures up today. I thank you for understanding and appreciate your thoughts and prayers for our family. I will get the pictures up sometime this week.

Thanks again for your understanding.
Love ya!

Football TIme!

Hi everyone!

Yeah! Football is starting! Now that means different things to different people! I love football of all kinds - recreation league, middle school, high school, college & NFL. But my favorite is watching my son play! What can I say, I am one proud Mom!

This year, I am taking the action shots for Airport High School! Go Eagles! I will be posting the pictures to my website on Mondays. You can check here to find the links. So far I have 4 scrimmages, a jamboree and Sports A Rama on the website. The links are:

I will add the games each week. You can e-mail me with the game and picture information of the pictures that you like and I will edit them and put them in a private gallery for you to preview them. You can then purchase pictures, posters, buttons, magnets, keychains and other items from me. E-mail me for a sports price list.

Besides football, I had a wonderful sitting this month! I took pictures of 11 grandchildren together for the grandparents! I plan to have those edited this week and a couple up here in my next post!

School is back in session! If you are not happy with the traditional posed school picture, bring your children to the studio or choose a location for a portrait session! Also, fall is just around the corner! Look for a special fall portrait session coming in October!

Love ya!

Another month almost over!

Hi y'all,

Can you believe that another month is almost over? I can't! Where does the time go? Sometimes I feel like I am running in circles! July has been a busy month personally, not so much professionally. I only had one session this month and that was a Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep session in Manning. But I also took pictures at a birthday party for Chelsea (a friend of my daughter) and at the Tri-District concert for my niece!

So I decided that when I am caught up, I can have some fun! So I decided to take pictures of places and things that interest me. On my way back from Manning, I stopped at Bull Swamp and took a few pictures of an old store, barn, the swamp and an old outhouse. After seeing this picture, my wonderful sister-in-law, Kara, said that it was no fair that I got to shoot the sh*t! So we now have a Shoot the Sh*t days!

We can go and take pictures of whatever we like! After my stop at the swamp, my fantastic husband went with me to an old store out on the other side of Swansea. It has been closed since he can remember (he grew up in Swansea), so the place has always fascinated him. Well, we checked it out and got lots of cool shots of the outside and were able to peek in a few windows and get some pictures of the inside without going in! You know, we have to respect the law!

And now that the month is over and school starts next month, it is time to plan some fall specials. Look for some specials in the next few blogs and the newsletter. If you are interested in getting the newsletter, send me an e-mail at kris@kreationsbykrisphoto.com and I will add you to the newsletter list!

Love ya!

Kris

Where does the time go?

Hi all,

Well I missed a week! Sorry! I am trying to get there! It has been busy! I had a great sitting with a little boy - he is just too cute! I couldn't post it until today because his pictures were a birthday surprise for his Mom! Happy Birthday! I sure hope you like his pictures!

I also worked on some dance pictures! Thanks Lynn! I also had another Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep session. This time I went to Manning. Another sweet angel! This is an amazing organization and I wouldn't trade the experience for anything. It does make me truly thankful for all the blessings in my life.

Thanks for taking the time to look at my work! Please call me to help capture your memories! I look forward to working with you!

Love ya!

Kris

Life is good!

Hi everyone!

Well, I am trying to update this every week! A little better this time only 9 days since my last blog! Yeah! I amm getting better at this!

What a wonderful week! 3 sittings in 3 days! And then a very special session! Thanks to my sittings - Caralee's 1st birthday, the Days of Cayce Exterminating and then little Trey, who is also one!

Then my special session! I am a volunteer for Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep. This organization does infant remembrance photography for little ones who will never go home with Mom and Dad. It is truly a labor of love. I am honored to be a part of this wonderful organization! Wednesday, I received a call to go and take pictures for the most amazing family. Out of respect for them and their precious angel, I cannot or will not say any more about them. I can say that although these families appreciate what I do for them, I am the one who is blessed. I am so thankful that God gives me the strength emotionally to take these amazing pictures. Please check out the website for this wonderful organization that I am quite humbled and fortunate to be a part of. www.nilmmdts.org

Thanks to all who read my blog and take the time to check out my website! I really appreciate my customers!

Try to stay cool! Get ready for my fall portrait special coming soon!

Love ya!

Kris

Busy times!

Hi everyone!

Where has this month gone? I thought for sure that once school was out, things would slow down! Boy, was I wrong! But I am not complaining about being busy!

I was asked to take pictures at a wonderful event recently! Maurice and Jane celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary! They renewed the vows one Sunday in church! How wonderful it was to be a part of a truly amazing love story! Thank you, Maurice and Jane. I was very honored that you asked me to help preserve these priceless memories! I can only hope that Todd and I will celebrate 60 years together.

And thanks to April and Avery for letting me take little Miss Aiden's two month portraits! She is adorable! And just too cute for words!

More sittings coming up this week! I can't wait for a cake smash and a happy family! It will be a fun week!

Feel free to contact me to get something set up soon! We can have lots of fun preserving those memories!

Happy Summer everyone! (Boy is it hot!)

Kris

Summertime!

Hi everyone!

Well, the unofficial start of summer has come and gone. Memorial Day was quiet! After a busy month, it was nice to relax with the family.

It has been delightfully busy! I am thankful for my clients and my work. My first sitting of the month was fun, but I learned a lesson! Always make sure to check all the camera settings before I shoot! Sorry Michelle! I promise to make it up to you! Let's reshoot soon!

And then the dance recital! Thanks to all the Dance 1 parents - I had so much fun taking pictures of all of our dancers! I shot all day (9+ hours) and took over 2500 pictures! They are all on the website! Contact me for the information to find your dancer's pictures!

Last weekend, I had a great sitting with a beautiful young lady who will be graduating from high school soon! Martha, my camera loves you! Congratulations on your graduation!!!! Good luck with college! You will do great!

I also took pictures at a wedding, a couple of school events and a soccer game! I also enjoyed making the posters for the school sports teams! Go Yellow Jackets!

So I have had a busy month! And I am hoping that next month is even busier!

Thanks everyone for a great month! Remember to call me about beach pictures - I would love to meet you at the beach! We can get some great beach pictures of you and your family!!!

And a quick update on Daddy. He is still home, but he has an appointment today for the foot. There is some signs of infection in the still healing amputation. Otherwise, he is doing well. The cardiologist cleared him to have his cataract surgery. He will not be able to have his heart operation until the foot is completely healed, maybe in the fall.

Love ya!

Kris

Life is good!

Thank you!

Hi everyone!

Wow! What a crazy month! I have had the privilege of some great sittings! Some adorable little ones! And a whole bunch of 8th graders! I had so much fun!

I would like to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers about Daddy. For those who don't know, he was admitted to the hopspital on February 5th with an diabetic ulcer on his left foot. After a week of antibiotics, he had his left great toe removed. Another week in the hospital and then 4 weeks of rehab! He was due to come last Friday! Thursday night, he fell and broke his left hip. He was transferred from rehab to the hospital last Friday. Monday, we had him transferred to another hospital and new doctors because the first group had done nothing for him. Yesterday, he had a partial hip replacement and will be in the hospital for several more days. Then another few weeks in rehab! Of course, this has been the priority in my life for 7 weeks now. I am looking forward to more work and less hospital!

Remember, summer is just around the corner! If you are planning a beach trip, call and schedule a sitting! I will be happy to meet you at any of our beautiful beaches to get those great beach portraits!

If you weren't happy with your child's school pictures, call me to schedule a sitting wither in the studio or on location to get some great portraits!

I hope everyone has a great Easter! I look forward to helping you with your photography Kreations!

Love ya!
