Little Ziana came in last week and at 3 weeks old, was the perfect little model. Mom, Grandmom and a friend came in to help and watch and it really does take a village to dress a three week old! 🙂 We got incredible photos of this sweet little infant girl and these are just three of my favorites.

I just got invited to Disney…by a 3 year old client!…{Palm Harbor Child Photographer}
Well, I do have fun with my clients! Little “A” with her twin brother “C” had a portrait photography session at their home and you can see by the images, we had a great time! After their preview session, little “A” pipes up with “Miss Kathleen, do you want to go to Disney with us?” I am just tickled to be included in a family invite! She had so much fun that she apparently did not want it to end. As a child photographer, it is important to be a friend to the children and engage and be able to interact with them. These candid images are so precious and tell a great story about our day. Please give me a call if I can create family portraits like this for you.
Tampa Bay Ballerina…{Tampa Photographer}
I recently had the privilege of photographing the lead ballerina in the Tampa Bay Ballet production of the Nutcracker. She is such a beautiful child and we made some incredible images for the ballet posters and programs. For mom, I created this art piece for her home that depicts all the stages of the ballet and puts it into a dreamlike sequence. This new type of art piece would not work for every type of portraits that I do, but I really love it for the subject matter.
Expressive hands…
I just love what hands can say within a portrait. If the hands are all by themselves, like the first image below, you can tell a full story of the 4 generations represented here of all these wonderful women and women to be…Grandma, Mom, daughters, granddaughter and great-grand daughter. Then you have all seen the ring photographs of the bride and groom where it tells the story of their new life beginning together and what the rings symbolize. There are other types of images, like the full image of a group where the family members are all touching each other in a very loving, relaxed way. And the daddy holding his newborn son, the size of the dad’s hands so protective and just a peek of the newborn’s tiny hands One of my new favorites is of this image below of a young girl. The pose, the touch of makeup and the expression all speak of a budding teenager, but not quite. The soft child like hands tell that this young woman has a little while to go before she truly enters the next stage of her life. Some of my favorite images.
Model Photography…
What does it take to get into modeling? Have you ever asked yourself this question? For yourself or for your children? You need the desire first, ok, check. Then you need to start off with a really good head shot or portfolio of images. Most agencies now are looking for a digital file that is uploaded to them which they can keep on file for reference.
I will be having a modeling week special August 20-24 this year and the next one will not be until January 2013. These are for all ages, (babies need to be sitting up) and will focus on you with a minimum of props. A clean, contemporary style is what the agencies will want with only one person per session. These sessions are at the reduced price of only $50.00 with digital only packages starting at $195.00. If you have ever thought of going into modeling, or just need some really great images of yourself or your child, please call to set up an appointment during this week. This is a deal too good to pass up!
