Last December when I photographed Megan and Derek's Special day, I had the opportunity to work with Brent Reese owner of Brent Reese Films. I was a pleasure to work with him and I wish we could work together more! Here is the ah-amzing film he did.

I can't believe it's already been one year since I photographed this handsome little boy's birth! This little guy is a fighter. Soon after he was born he was diagnosed with CAH. It's a fatal condition that requires several treatments a day. Learn more about Cash's Story here!

Happy Birthday Cash!

My Girls

2011-03-30T14:15:00.000-07:00

Did you hear? My girls hacked each other's hair off. My first reaction was to start crying. I was surprised when I started to laugh and couldn't' stop. Their hair was just awful. You can see more pictures here.

After I found them with most of their hair gone, I ran them to the mall. Oh, you should have seen the looks I got. I took them to Darryl Murphy @ North West Beauty. He was a miracle worker. I had all three girls with me in the salon. Kamryn dumped all her Goldfish all over the floor and was running up and down the product isles. Brooklyn was screaming because she didnt' want to get her hair cut. Are you kidding me!? I thought to myself. You just hacked off over 8 inches yourself! Luckily my good friend Michelle showed up to help me out.

After all that, here's the final cut. What do you think????

One of my favorite Christmas presents this year was this gray Jo Totes camera bag. It holds all of my camera equipment {except for my reflectors}. I am so excited to use this bag. I think it will make photo shoots go smoother. You can customize the inside of the bag with the velcro foam padded dividers. I defiantly recommend Jo Totes!

Josh Barton is a Senior this year. He is currently living in Washington DC playing hockey for the DC Capitals. Check him out here.

You can see more of his shoot on my kate jennings facebook page. Below is an example of what the new Photoshop CS5 can do. I LOVE the content-aware tool. It can take whole pieces of an image out in seconds. On this picture I also used some actions from paint the moon.

Blogger Interview with Sensibly Styled

2010-10-14T08:36:00.000-07:00

I was recently asked to do a Blogger Interview with Sensibly Styled about what to wear for family pictures. You can see the interview on their blog, here.

( Here's my responses to their questions )

1. My number one tip for picking out clothes for your family photo shoot is: “Have a Plan!”. Many elements ( including wardrobe ) have to come together to make a great family photo. Clothing is pretty unique in the sense that you have a lot of control over it. Knowing your locations, your family, the season,…etc should all be a small part of your decision. The trick is using clothing to help unify your family, the light, the season, the location...etc.

2. What colors look best together? Usually a good blend of full hue colors ( pure color ) combined with muted ones. ( muted tones are darker or more pastel ). Also observe some simple relationships: if you have a warm background, try cool colors for your wardrobe. If you have a muted background, try more brights. Once you decide which to go with then you can add pops of color in the opposite tone. As a general rule, your photos can handle more muted tones than hue. It’s often better to have toned down layering with thin splashes of color than the other way around.

3. Children: I always suggest layers for children. If they have different layers on, you can switch up their outfit easily throughout the shoot. Also, hats, jackets, and boots are best for children.

4. Families: Dress up or down? Before you decide on which one, think about your own family. Are you more laid back or formal? Do you want to have a classic look or a more trendy styled look? Dressing up may be more appropriate depending on the reason for the photo shoot.

5. Settings: Do they affect wardrobe? Defiantly! I just did a family shoot where the wife had two different sets of outfits picked out. She had a more formal look and a casual look. I suggested that we do two different locations, downtown and the fair. You can see from the pictures how the looks and the locations complement each other. Just think, what location would be most logical with what we are wearing? Or the other way around.

Here’s a few more general concepts I’ve found (Of course, nothings set in stone )

NO SHIRTS WITH LOGOS OR WRITING!!!

Kids have energy. They can handle color.

Moms want to be beautiful. They can handle style and color.

Dads are supportive. They can handle muted supportive tones.

Be classy in the plaza,

Wholesome on the farm,

Cozy in the arboretum,

Fun at the fair.

Be bright in the winter,

Bold in the fall,

Colorful during the day,

Dressy at night.

Remember, family photos are about capturing those moments where everyone connects. Relationships in wardrobe give a feeling of relationship within the group, resulting in more “connected” photos.

Sounds simple right? It is…and it isn’t. The trick is to have a plan and start. Think about your factors, make a choice, and run with it. See what’s working, see what’s not. It’s amazing what a little experience can show you when you are looking.

Best wishes and luck,

It was a perfect day for family pictures! The fall weather was just stunning. All the trees in the Arboretum were turning bright, beautiful colors. The Alldredge family was so fun to shoot. They really do love each other. Little Owen was such a flirt. He was fabulous!

The Polaroid shot is my new signature. Everyone who gets their pictures taken by me, goes home with a sweet Polaroid!

I have an Eskimo! Actually, it’s a fan. Doesn’t it seem odd to name a cooling device after a group of people whose primary objective was staying warm? Should have called it “Alaska”.

My Eskimo is great at keeping warm, because it’s broke. It was 95 degrees today, which inspired me to take some breezy looking table-top photography! Here is one of my favorite process shots:

The assingment that we had for my photo was to pretend that we worked for Gerber. We had to create a shoot that could be used as an ad for them. If you can't read the text, Nicole said,"Kudos, Katelyn -- it really looks like it could be an ad for them."

Here's the photo close up!
