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.

Two people in love…Palm Harbor Photographer

Buddy and Cindy came in last week to have couple portraits created. It was originally a surprise for Buddy, but he found out and wanted to come together. I am so glad he did. The amazing love these two have for each other is evident in their images. They had so many great photographs, we decided to do an album! What a treat to have this type of couple photography for themselves for many years to come. Portraits of a couple

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!

Dancing Kristina…

With all the model, fashion and glamour type of images I am doing, I tried out this new look out on a beautiful young girl this past week. The trick is to use the right shutter speed and aperture combination to get a crisp face and a flowing skirt. The large image on the top is the one I love to have a “stand alone” image of. The face is tranquil and lovely and then there is so much movement in the skirt and the scarf. It just tells volumes about the girl becoming a young women. She seems so at peace and confident in who she is becoming. I also love the series, it tells a story of fun and excitement at this session! I have decided to make this storyboard a new product line available in a 10×20 to take advantage of several different images that my clients might like to have together.

Sunkissed Angel…{Palm Harbor Senior Photographer}

Kaila is graduating this year and was ready for her senior portraits! Going into the field of fashion, she really knew what to wear and what looked good on her. I have been photographing her family for probably 15? years. I was so happy to see her all grown up! She wanted her portraits in John Chestnut Park, so we picked a sunny day 🙂 and off we went. These are just two of the stunning images we got out in the park. Enjoy your sneak peek, Kaila. See you next week!

Let’s run a little contest… Leave a comment below and vote for your favorite. I will give Kaila a free 8×10 of the image that gets the most votes over 10! Let me know what you think!
