Inching towards 7 months - Woodlands Baby Photography

I'm sure you recognize this little guy from the blog. He is part of the Tippy Toes plan. This being his 6 month plan, I was so excited to see how he had grown and he did not disappoint. He was so happy and ready to show off all of his new tricks! Enjoy the sneaks, I had such a hard time narrowing it down.

You can see how much he has grown from his 3 month and his newborn session.

3 girls and now a boy! - Woodlands Maternity Photographer

After work one night this past week, I met a lovely family. All girls right now... But that soon will change. We had a great time doing some maternity photos. Unfortunately daddy couldn't make it, so we will catch up with him soon! Enjoy the sneak peak you guys.

Caden's first snow storm

People in the North would have a great laugh at this, but our surprise snow storm this week was a lot of fun for some of us. Even though in the Woodlands it didn't stick, it was so beautiful! So we took Caden out to see his first snowflakes. He loved them! Probably was wondering why the rain looked so strange, but he was excited none the less.

Thought I would share a snapshot or two. Hope you got to enjoy the snow with your family as well!

Kute Photo (KP) of the Month - February

Ok, this is quite frighten to me. February is over. Where did it go?

When I was going through the photos over this past month, we didn't take a ton (quantity) but we took a lot of great ones. So it was hard to choose.

But looking back, I wanted to select a photograph from a very special session. I went to the A family's home and shot family photos for them. We were supposed to do them outside, but it was one of those weekends where the cold spell came through, so we moved things inside, which actually worked better I think. They were so warm and inviting. I felt like family. Even though it was a large family, I wasn't a bit nervous. They were so great. We took a ton of photos and even shot some in the kid's rooms, which was really fun. It was really great to see the kids come alive and show their personalities.

I chose this photo because of the interaction and realness it shows. Most family photos are so stiff and stuffy. But you guys allowed me to get you laughing and be playful. I hope that this is more of what your family is like. Goofy is good in my book. Enjoy your print and I can't wait to see you guys again.

Kute Photo (KP) of the Month - January

A lot of photographers do this and I think it is such a great idea and fabulous way to showcase our clients. A little detail on how I choose these photos. It can be a lot of different reasons.

• Maybe it was an amazingly hard shot to get
• Maybe it was a really surprising reaction or look.
• Maybe the family, child or baby is just too cute I just can't stand it!
• Maybe the whole session was just picture perfect.

For whatever reason, I will choose one image per month and showcase them on the blog as the Artist's choice. As part of this honor, they will receive a 11x14 print of this image, as well as a $50 gift certificate towards their next session. And the best part is that they will be entered into the 2010 Picture of the Year contest. In the early weeks of January you will help us vote on what you consider the best photo of Kara Powell Photography 2010. The winner of the 2010 contest will receive a free session with me, and a 11x14 print from the winning session.

So for January, I have chosen the session of Miss C. You have seen her often, as she is part of our Tippy Toes plan. This session was one of those picture perfect sessions I mentioned above. We had so many good shots from it, it was hard to choose one the sneak peak. 6 months is a good age, but man was she in a good mood! I chose this photo because I love the interaction between you two. There is something about the relationship between a mom and her daughter, I just love it. Enjoy your 11x14 you guys. And congrats on being the first KP winners!
