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.

Black and White and Children…{Palm Harbor Photography}

I just love the pure emotion that comes through with black and white images.  The photography part is kind of melted away and you are left with pure art.  The expressions on people come through without the distraction of the color surrounding them.  Little “P” came in last week and besides the color studies we did of him, I took a few with the intention of turning them black and white.  He is a very happy child, so many of them brought out his silly side.  But then we got a very serious one and I love that too!  Compare the high key (mostly white) and the low key (mostly black) and see what kind of a difference that makes in how you perceive the images and what emotions that brings out in you.  Enjoy!

 

Valentine’s Special!…

Everyone Deserves to Be*Loved
 
Our Valentine Special is on!  What is more special than to be loved at any time of life, but extra special during Valentines Day.  If you have a significant other and are engaged, nearly married, newly married or married (or together) for a very long time…why not capture it in portraits?  I have had the privilege of being able to work with 4 …yes…4 separate 50th anniversary couples in the past couple of months.  What a treat!  So,  here is the Valentines Special…  we meet for about an hour, either in the studio or at a location and we create a portrait together that you can include in your 50th anniversary celebration!  I’ve made this affordable because everyone deserves to be*loved!  Call today and reserve your spot. 
Everyone deserves to be loved.  

Engagement Portraits

Well, you really can say that Adriana and Tim are in love.  This could be a modeling session, but, no, they are really engaged.  Just finished this in downtown Dunedin and WOW  they look great!  More to come, this one I just couldn’t pass up.  And all you engaged, newly married or nearly married,  married for 2 years or 25 years, I have a terrific Valentine’s Day special coming up starting tomorrow.  I will post then and let you know the specifics.  But for now, enjoy the sneak peek of Adriana and Tim!
