Matilda Jane Contest
Posted on May 17, 2010
I had a great time yesterday at one of my client’s Matilda Jane trunk shows. I was there to take pictures of any girl that wanted to be entered into the Matilda Jane photo contest. I tell you girls just light up when they put pretty clothes on. It was really fun and the weather was awesome. Here are just a few pictures from yesterday.
I finally got to use my new headband. I love it, but not sure how to get it on–ha!
Oh and yes I do have three daughters, but my middle has decided not to be in any pictures anymore. Fast forward 15 years and I can hear her asking me “Mom why don’t you have any pictures of me?” Oh well. I’ll have to sneak some.
Happy Monday!

Matilda Jane Trunk Show and Studio updates
Posted on May 10, 2010
Wow this Spring has been busy busy busy for us. Time is really flying by and I cannot believe school is out in one month. I am definitely ready for summer weather and some R & R. I have been working very hard with a designer on a new logo and marketing materials for the studio. Today I am showing a little peek at my new logo. I just love it and cannot wait for everything to come together. A new website is in the works too!! It has been very busy with portrait sessions and behind the scenes “stuff” at Kelly Smith Photography. Some of you have seen the new waiting area, new furniture and new big screen TV (soon to be used for in person proofing), fabric wall and chalk board. I am in love with it all and so happy with how everything has turned out.
I also wanted to invite everyone to a Matilda Jane Trunk show at one of my clients house this weekend Sunday May 16th from 3:00 until 5:00. I will be there taking pictures of little girls in Matilda Jane clothes that want to be entered into the MJ contest. Check out the blog for the details. If you would like the address to Jessica’s house please email me and I will get it to you asap. Hope to see lots of you there!
And just a few pictures of my Sawyer modeling some hats for Lisa over at Etsy. Lida is so sweet and wonderful to work with. Check out her site. I spotted this old rusted out truck at the car dealership next door and got their permission to shoot there. I am secretly hoping it stay there all summer. Crossing my fingers big time.
Hope everyone had a great Mother’s Day weekend. Happy Monday!

Matilda Jane Trunk Show September 11th 6:30-8:00
Posted on August 23, 2009
I am excited to invite you all to my studio on September 11th from 6:30 until 8:00 for a Matilda Jane Trunk Show at my studio in Oconomowoc. If you are not familiar with these clothes please click on the link and check them out. They are super cute and fun. My girls love wearing them and just sparkle a little when they have them on. I hope to see you all there! Come on over for some fun, food and drinks (and of course the cutest little girl clothes ever!) Send me an email if you plan on attending.
I had the opportunity to photograph Miss Lola in Brookfield a little while back. She has the largest Matilda Jane warbdorb I have ever seen! She was so fun to photograph. I had to bribe her with piggy back rides so I definitely got my workout that day, but it was well worth it. I just love all her smiles in these images. A true reflection of who she is. A sweet silly happy three year old little girl.
This weekend was a busy one. I had three amazing photograhy sessions today. Yep I said three. Something I have never done before, but we had to squeeze in a session for an important campaign while all his children were in town. I have some wonderful maternity, baby and family images to post very soon. Hope you all enjoy the last week of summer vacation. School starts September 1st for us! Have a wonderful week.

Girls photo session
Posted on July 27, 2009
Here are a few (ok more than a few) images from a recent photo shoot I did with my girls. I had a blast (not sure they did) See we recently did some remodeling and I was on a mission to get some new images for the house. So I found a few new spots around town, dressed the girls in their Matilda Jane clothes and we set out. I am so excited to see these all printed. I know my girls are not always thrilled when I get out my camera, but I keep telling myself when they are older they will appreciate it–ha!
Well I cannot believe summer is flying by so fast. Back to school stuff is already in all the stores–yikes! I have one more session left open for August and then August is booked. I am now scheduling for the rest of the year. I am thinking about Fall limited edition sessions. Send me an email if you are interested. This fall I am limiting my number of sessions to eight a month. The reason for this is I really want to be able to focus on each session, each client and give you awesome customer service. Plus I would love to enjoy fall just a little bit-ha! I will book fast for Fall so please plan ahead.
Happy Monday!

This one above was all Sawyer’s idea. She is just so sweet. She comes up with photo ideas all the time and has to tell me about them. She loves to be creative. She is constantly drawing and even writes her own songs and gets out her guitar and sings them–love her!
This one was all her too!

Matilda Jane Shoot
Posted on April 17, 2009
I just love these clothes. I had the chance this week to photograph Pearl in her new clothes and we had a great time. These colors just pop at the studio! Little girls feel so great in them too. Look at how much fun we were having! Her auntie Dana makes these great bags TreasureBags and Pearl was quite the model with them. I think she has found her calling mom!
Hope you are all having a great week. Spring Break is coming to an end for us. Thankfully the weather has been awesome and we have been having fun getting outside again.

Easter Matilda Jane style
Posted on April 14, 2009
On Easter Sunday we had breakfast at our house with my husband’s parents and then quickly ran down to my studio for a mini Easter shoot with the girls and their new Matilda Jane clothes. Needless to say we were a little late for lunch at my parent’s house because I was not paying attention to the clock–opps–sorry mom. Just wanted to share a few images of my girls on Easter at the studio.
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend with your family.
