Meet the wonderful Albin Family!

I have done senior portraits for them and now family portraits! It was rainy and wet and spring isn’t completely grown in yet so we played in the studio! New backdrop and all! Apparently the backdrop was perfect for their home decor! Can’t wait to see these on their walls!

The session started off as usual. You know, the boys acting bummed to have to take pictures, kind of mopey…then things turned around when we served them toasted bagels and orange juice! Score!! Moods changed quickly. I got cooperation and smiles all around! Bribery is great for pictures!

On this day was Mariah’s 18th birthday! What a fun way to celebrate and capture this memory! This milestone! The family relationships! They did so great with their outfits and you can see the love they have for one another.

Are you due for updated family portraits? With the way things are going right now, I assume your family is together and have a little extra time on your hands. Let’s update your family portraits!

Angel baby…

On March 10, 2020… a little angel was born. 😇

Happy Birthday beautiful baby. We know you had a beautiful day in heaven. Keep watch over your family. You are so loved…

On Tuesday evening I received a phone call that my services were needed. I wasn’t in professional attire but that doesn’t matter. I packed up my gear and met with such an amazing family that was going through something no one should have to go through. We took our time talking about their angel and we created some beautiful memories for them to have and cherish forever. My goal is for this family to remember this day. The smells, the sounds, the touch, the love. This family asked me to not share the images or names so I cropped this one image to show how small their little angel baby is. So perfect…look at those toes…

My heart breaks for this little family. Please include this family in your prayers. Thank you for supporting Little Heroes so families like this receive this service that includes prints, digital files and a slideshow.

Who has never had professional family portraits done?

Kathy was right there with you until last month. She had been a fan of my work for a while and finally reached out. See the couch they are on? Well, this couch and her family have quite the history. She was moving and needed the couch to go to a new home. It was her grandparents couch so it was really hard to get rid of. So, she offered it to me! She knew me well enough that I love me some old furniture. Yep! I love it! Isn’t it beautiful?!?!? So of course we needed to incorporate it into their family portraits! It was perfect!

Now for the family history! So interesting! Kathy’s family history dates back to the king of Liechtenstein. Every girl born in the family is a princess (well hello, Princess Kathy) and every first born son is considered a prince. Kathy’s great great grandfather was an embarrassment to his father, the King, because he was quite a drinker. So his dad (the King) put him on a ship bound for America. The prince ended up in North Dakota and married a gal and lived on a farm. The royal family would send trunks full of linens and tapestries to the farm from Lichtenstein. Kathy’s great aunt remembers her great great grandmother swooshing when she walked because she would use the materials for her slips under her dresses because, what else would you do with it on a farm in the middle of North Dakota?

When Kathy’s family members visit Lichtenstein they are treated quite well and they roll out the red for for them at the palace.

Such a fun story! Do you have a family story to tell? Do you know your family history?

Anyway, we had a great time in the snow. It was cold but we made the best of it! I am blessed to get families like the Rayburn’s in front of my camera. They are beautiful people inside and out! They took my advice on clothing and other tips and it resulted in such beautiful portraits! Kathy gets to enjoy her family on her wall on a large canvas wall portrait. Blessed…

This little lady is having a baby…

Did you look this adorable when you were pregnant? I sure didn’t!
Stunning!!

Little boy is due any day now. I remember all the emotions leading up to the birth of both of my daughters. But I was not prepared for the instant love I had never felt for anything else when I first met my girls. It is a love you can’t explain. You just know you can’t wait for others to feel that love, to experience that love. It’s unexplainable!

Can’t wait to meet your little man! I pray your birth experience is amazing and everyone is healthy.

Issie – Winter Session

Season 3 of 4 for this senior!

That much closer to graduation! She has really grown up and become quite the young women over the last 9 months. She is more confident! She sees her beauty that we all see. She has had so much fun capturing these fun memories during such a big milestone in life. Her next session will be spring time. I hope we can sneak in a family portrait at that time if big brother comes home from college for a few days.

For her “winter” session she wanted to be more relaxed with her hair and outfits. I loved the scrunchie on her wrist, I loved her outfits, I loved her hair, and I mostly love her personality!

Season Seniors is a fun way to capture senior year. We do four mini sessions, one in each season. We meet for a planning session in May or June, at the end of their Junior year/summer before senior year to start planning. We go over all the details and what to expect. Do you plan on having your senior do “senior seasons” with me this year? If so, please book a “planning session” here (scroll over to May): https://directory.bookedin.com/photography-by-kam

Do you have any questions about this offer? Just message me, I’m happy to answer them!

See you in the spring, Issie!
