Guess what came in the mail today

Posted on March 19, 2008

My new canvas print–yeah! I am like a kid in a candy store when the UPS guys comes to the door. My face lights up like it is Christmas. Everyone needs a canvas print. They are just stunning. Enjoy!

Also anyone wanting or thinking about booking a Spring or Summer session I am booking up quickly. I am currently booking through August and will open my calendar for Fall in June. This year I am accepting a limited number of session per month so I can truly focus on each client. Therefore, if you are wanting a spring/summer session especially a weekend please give me a call or send me an email.

I look forward to talking with you!

My Pictures in Milwaukee Family Magazine

Posted on March 18, 2008

I am so excited and am grinning ear to ear. Four of my pictures are featured in the premiere issue of the Milwaukee Family magazine. I stopped by their office today to pick up a few magazines and I just have to say how wonderfully nice and down to earth they all are. I have to admit I was a little teary when I saw the pictures in the magazine. I am so committed to my business and feel so passionately about photography. This was a big stepping stone for me.

The Milwaukee Family magazine is a free magazine published twice a year. It is full of helpful articles for todays family. It is not yet available online, but was told it will be. If you are looking for a copy I know that the YMCA and most doctor’s offices get it. Just look around town and I am sure you will find one.

Horton Hears a Who

Posted on March 16, 2008

Yep that’s right we went to see Dr. Suess Horton Hears a Who today with the girls. What a very cute movie. It held my 2 1/2 year olds attention for most of the movie–which is saying A LOT! This is actually the first time we have all gone together as a family. We were just not brave enough to do this until now–plus it is nice for somethings to be “special” and not every day outings. So if you are thinking about taking your kidos to the movie–DO IT–they will enjoy it.

My little Easter Bunny

Posted on March 15, 2008

Today the girls and I spent the morning visiting the Eater Bunny, hunting for eggs, and making Easter chicks–and one lamb. We had a great morning! Hope you all have a great weekend and enjoy the warmer weather.

Mommy moment

Posted on March 14, 2008

Life with three young girls and a growing photography business can be crazy. Throw in my husband’s sales job and our schedules are a little crazy. I have been feeling really bad about my business taking over my life–guilty that I don’t spend more time with my girls. That is one of the reasons I started my own business–to not have to punch a clock or put the girls in daycare full tme. Other than my obvious LOVE for photography of course! So last night the girls and I went out to dinner together and then to the grocery store. On our way home this song came on the radio just as I was pulling into the garage. The girls just love it. So I cranked up the radio opened all the doors and we danced in the garage. It was so much fun. They laughed and giggled the entire time. This was a great mom and daughter moment. I just had so much fun. I am looking forward to more of these moments.

How cute is he? I kept saying “he is so cute” the entire time. I just love this age. I love all ages– each age brings something different to the camera, but 6 to 9 months is just so fun.

Have a fun Thursday!

I could not decide between color or black and white. Which do you like?

Giving Back

This Saturday the YMCA at Pabst Farms is having their annual Strong Kids fundraiser and I have donated a family portrait package for their slient auction. The YMCA is a wonderful organization that provides unbelievable services for our community. Get your pencils sharpened!

I also want to say thank you to the families that bid on my donated portrait packages for Oconomowoc Nursery School and Summit Elementary School. Supporting our schools and giving to the community is what is it all about. Thank you and I am excited to meet you all for your portrait sessions!

Easter Cookies

Posted on March 11, 2008

Last night my wonderful Aunt Laurie and Uncle Joel came over to spend time with my girls and make Easter cookies. My husband and I went out to dinner ALONE and it was so nice to eat my food while it was still warm. When I came back home I could hear all kinds of giggles coming from the kitchen. They had a great time! Below are Tatum and Kenadie’s favorite cookies from the night.

One thing I must mention is my Aunt makes the BEST cookies ever! At Christmas time if you are one of the “lucky ones” you get a plate full. Trust me these cookies are like liquid gold. Not one little crumb goes uneaten. I think I should twist her arm this year to make me two plates and I will have a give away for my faithful blog readers. You will not be disappointed! Aunt Laurie I know you are reading this—what do you think?

I hope you are all having a terrific Tuesday!

Is it Spring Yet?

Posted on March 6, 2008

Spring is almost here–I can just about taste it!! I am so excited for the snow to melt and to get outside again with out big bulky winter jackets! I am just in love with all the sunshine lately too.

In lieu of my excitement for Spring and all the wonderful warmer weather I just know is headed our way I would like to offer 1/2 off session fee special for the month of March. The session must take place this month–March 2008. What a great way to get your feet wet with lifestyle photography and have lots and lots of fun! The session will last 1-2 hours and be at a location of your choice. Anyone interested should either email me kelly@kellysmithphoto.com or call me at 262.893.0616. Spots are limited and travel fee may apply.

Need more convincing?? Check out the testimonial section of my website as see what my clients are saying about me. The first two people to pay their 1/2 off session fee for March 2008 will receive two free 5×7’s. That is a total savings of $90.

I look forward to hearing from you!

I just don’t like to post without a picture so here is my daughter Kenadie. Before she got sick Saturday she asked me to take pictures of her. That is very rare so I happily snapped away. It is funny because clients say to me all the time “You must have so many great pictures of your girls” My girls actually don’t like to have their pictures taken at all. I think I have spoiled that for them by using them as my guinea pigs at times.
Enjoy and Happy Thursday!
