How do you feel…? Kathleen Hall Photography Palm Harbor Fl

I find that, as humans, we value photographs because of the way they make us feel. The stronger the feeling, the more we value the photograph.

Jesh de Rox

When I read this quote by Jesh, (yes, that is his name and correct spelling), I began to think about the photographs in my life and the photographs that I had created.  I found that the ones that stood out are the ones that brought back feelings and memories to my life.  Whether it was remembering a great event or wonderful friends or clients or  “friendclients” (new word, made it up, haha!),  they all touched a place in my heart.  Photos that made me feel good about myself and how I looked also made the list.  Photos that made me laugh or reminisce also came instantly to mind.   Even the ones that were memories of awful news stories, they made me feel. And I realized Jexh had summed it up in two sentences.

When I photograph, I love to create  photographs that will make you feel something.  I have included a few of my favorites below.

A couple of characters!…Palm Harbor Photographer Kathleen Hall Photography

Last week Pamela and Rick came in to see me to do couple portraits.  I had photographed Pamela two years ago for her glamour portraits and they came back to have photographs created of them together on Friday. I love to do these type of images.  How long people wait to have images of just the two of them!  There is a decided joy between two people in love who have been together for a long time.  And it shows here in their photos.  They met on a blind date years ago … yea, a blind date!  Remember those?  Before dating on the web?  You never knew what your date was going to be like, let alone look like!  Yikes!  Life was more adventuresome then.  Enjoy your sneak peek – see you next week for the full reveal!

Senior Portraits at Clearwater Beach…(Palm Harbor High School Senior Photographer)

This beautiful young lady is graduating this year and wanted special High School Senior Photographs at the beach.  Wearing something more casual was in order and she picked out some great outfits.  Variety in colors and style in clothing helps a lot to have a portrait portray your personality.  Congratulations to all the wonderful graduates this year!

From newborn to graduate…(Kathleen Hall, Palm Harbor Photographer)

18 years ago, I photographed this little darling baby when she was about 6 months old.  Now, I have the pleasure of photographing her for her High School Senior graduation portraits! Cayli has grown into such a beautiful young woman with a desire for the theater.  She wanted traditional portraits as well as a more contemporary head shot for any auditions she might want to try out for.  I am so honored that I got the chance to see her all grown up!  Best of luck to you, Cayli!!

 

 

 

High School Senior time…(Palm Harbor Senior Photographer)

Outdoor portraits seem to be the thing this year, even more than previous years.  Kelsey wanted her High School Senior portraits taken outdoors and after some discussion, we decided on Brooker Creek Park in Tarpon Springs.  After a few false starts due to weather conditions, we got a beautiful day out there and had a wonderful time creating these memories for her.  The lace dress and boots is a fun look, but my favorite was the periwinkle blue blouse she wore.  It really brought out her eyes!  Congratulations Kelsey!  You made it all the way through those 12 years and now you have a whole new world ahead of you!
