I’m back….and a few wedding pictures
Posted on June 1, 2010
We are home and I am in the trying to catch up on emails and voice mail messages. Jamaica was wonderful. We had so much fun and the wedding was perfect. Sharing two quick favorites from the big day of my little brother and his beautiful wife!
Note: I am not a wedding photographer and have no intention of shooting weddings. Just a special gift for my brother and sister in law.
Happy Tuesday!

Fine Art Canvas Portraits
Posted on May 21, 2010
I absolutely love canvas portraits and that is probably why I have so many at the studio and in my own home! So when clients order canvases for their homes I get super excited as if they were going up in my own home. The anticipation as I am opening the package is like no other. I am giddy the entire time and then in awe when the canvas is unwrapped. Canvases are truly treasures that will last your family a life time. Today I had to share this image of sweet Juliana and her mom and dad. These are stunning!! The 16×20 looks small next to the 24×30. Any questions about a fine art canvas please ask anytime. I promise you will fall in love with them!

Picking a photographer
Posted on May 18, 2010
It can be really hard to chose a portrait photographer that is right for you and your family, especially today when there are so many to choose from. So I wanted to re post my behind the scenes video from last winter. I think it is really important that you know what you are getting when you hire me, Kelly Smith, to capture these priceless once in a life time images of you and your family. I am silly, patient, full of really weird noises (which you cannot hear in the video thankfully!) and 100% tuned into your child. I like to play with your children and never rush a session. You can think of me as a babysitter for the session. Really I mean it. I like to play and be silly with them–it is then when I get the show stopping images.
I would be honored to be your photographer.

Milwaukee childrens photographer
Posted on April 24, 2010
I was so excited to see this sweet family again. I had the privilege of photographing baby Jason when he was still in his mom’s tummy and again as a newborn. Check out how adorable he is now at 6 months. That curly hair and sweet smile will melt anyone’s heart. I was so excited to get some amazing portraits with mom and dad. You can tell how much he loves them and how much they love him. Kamilah and Jason these are going to make great wall galleries for you–especially for the six months you are traveling.

Menomonee Falls Children’s photography
Posted on April 4, 2010
I am very behind on my sneak peeks so will try to make it up with many favorites from this on location session in Menomonee Falls. I had so much fun being on location. I love how unique portrait session can be in a families own home. This little guy was so happy and a joy to photograph. Mom loves black and white images and I promise Leah to show you many, but I just had to post the color this time–especially with his amazing blue eyes. I have some of big brother too, but that will have to wait until another day. The first image in my favorite–I think (I have many from this session) I know most parents really want full smile portraits, but I often gravitate to more serious images. Don’t worry there are many smiles and laughs documented in his gallery, but I am just so drawn to the first image.
Hope everyone had a Happy Easter!

A little ray of sunshine….oconomowoc children’s photographer
Posted on February 18, 2010
Miss Rylee was so sweet and smiley when she came into the studio. She just smiled the entire time and had the most gorgeous big eyes and most beautiful long eyelashes. I had so much fun with her and her mom. We talked about raising three girls and how blessed we both feel to have them. When I was editing these images I just could not stop from smiling and thinking about spring and sunshine. Hope these put as big of a smile on your face as they do mine!
Happy Thursday!

Magazine Cover
Posted on February 15, 2010
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and Valentines Day. Just a really quick post with a picture of my latest magazine cover from Tot Trends Weekly. Miss Eden is so sweet. Mom does not even know about this cover yet! I promise to post more this week. I have many sessions to blog and am going to try to catch up.

Happy Valentines Day
Posted on February 11, 2010
First I would like to say thank you for all the emails for the model search. I have found an adorable little girl to take some beautiful images of.
Every year I always look forward to Valentines Day. I just love it. All the decorations, crafts and candies. The girls and I put together goodie bagd last night for their classmates, made their boxes to take to school and treats for their parties tomorrow. I get so excited when they come home off the bus because I know we get to go through all their Valentines from school. So fun!! Last week we had our own little Valentines Day photo shoot at the studio. I let each of them pick put their favorite images and cards. I love how different each one is!
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend and Valentines Day!
