Win a Free Session and FREE Prints!

I love getting something for nothing. Don't you? So, as a way to thank all my loyal Web site and blog viewers, I've decided to try something new. Sometime in the next week, I'll post a blog that will say nothing more than the word "FREE!" The first person who then e-mails me with the word "FREE" in their subject line will receive a FREE mini-session at White Clay Park in Newark, DE. Mini sessions are quick and easy and usually last 20 minutes. They result in five gorgeous retouched images. As the "winner," you will also get a free package of prints, including 5 4X6s, 3 5X7s, and 1 8X10. Let the games begin!

The winner will be required to make a $50 downpayment the day that we book your session. Your downpayment will be returned in full on the day of your session. It is, however, non-refundable should you have to cancel.

Family Portraits

Yesterday I met back up with the Caffini family at Gibraltar Gardens in Wilmington, DE for some casual family pictures. The thing I loved most about our shoot is that even though the Caffini "kids" are really almost all grown up now, their Mom still wanted to get some updated pictures of them together. And as most mothers will admit, this doesn't always happen as often as it should once the kids get past a certain age. You start out by taking family portraits each year, but then before you know it, time flies ... (mustaches grow) ... and suddenly your babies aren't so little anymore. Anyway, we had a blast! We took a few pyramid shots, did some cartwheels, rolled in the grass ... you know, all the things you'd expect to do during a "grown-up" family portrait session. Here are a few of my favorites so far (just to hold Mom over until next week). Enjoy! - Kate

Dave & Jen's Engagement Pictures

Yesterday, I met up with Ninja Dave and his lovely fiance, Jen at White Clay Park in Newark, DE for their engagement session. (Ninja Dave? The picture below will explain everything!) Engagement sessions are really important, in my opinion, because they're a great way for the couple and me to get to know each other a little better prior to the wedding. It's also an opportunity for them to learn a little about my shooting style, and to ask questions. In Dave and Jen's case, the pictures are extra important as they'll be choosing one of them to use on their invitations. (I vote for the Ninja shot!:)) As you can see in the pictures below, they're a lovely couple and I can't wait for their big day to arrive! I'm sure we'll get some amazing shots then, too. The full gallery of images will be ready in a week or so, until then, enjoy the preview below. - Kate

A Mind of Their Own

I had big plans today. My "cupcake shoot" with Maliya went so well the other week that I thought I'd try it again with another of my favorite models, Aidan. So, with yummy SAS cupcakes in hand, I showed up right after nap time. We got him all ready for his close up, pulled out the scrumptious chocolate cupcakes and waited for him to get happy. And then we waited, and waited some more. Apparently he's not much of a cupcake man! We got a couple cute shots of him, but then he was back off with his trains. So, his Mom and I left the cupcakes behind and decided to try something a little different (alright, I talked her into it:)). And we wound up with some of my new favorite photos. The moral of the story? When you photograph children, be patient. Keep shooting. Let them call the shots. The results are always well worth the effort. The full gallery of pictures should be up sometime next week. Hope you enjoy them!:)  - Kate
