Merry Christmas

Hi There!

Just a lil' Christmas cheer to pass along. Have a happy holiday from my family to yours!



Part of my Nativityset... My mother-in-law started a tradition where she gives us a new piece of a Nativity set at Christmas.


Miss Violet...a gift for my daughter's first Christmas



New house...new ways to use my old decorations....

Baby R

Hi There,
It's been a while since I posted some pictures! I took these pictures a while ago (early summer) but with the move and our new baby, I didn't get them posted right away. This little one is one of the best little babies I've seen. Rarely cries, sleeps well and has very intense eyes. She's was supposed to be born around the same time as our baby, but she decided to take her time joining the world. Smart baby.

B & C Engagement

Hi There!

Finally, some new photography sessions to post! I loved my craft projects, but it's nice to do some photography as well. I did this engagement session a few weeks before school got out, but with graduation and baby arriving, there was a bit of delay with getting everything touched up. There should be some more pictures coming in the future (I actually have a few session scheduled! I turned down tons of weddings this summer because I didn't know how baby was going to effect my schedule.)

Enjoy!

Meet L

Hello There!

L has gotten into a better schedule and I've started to figure out this mom thing. I'm hoping to get some engagement pictures uploaded to the blog this week. We took some pictures of L when she was two weeks old (she is four weeks now!). She has gained so much weight...I can barely believe it! The supplementing really helped her get back on track. I took these pictures on a picnic table in my backyard if you can believe it! It was slightly cloudy and which is just perfect for lighting.

Enjoy our little one! I made an announcement with this first picture, so I'll post that once I get it printed and mailed off to the family.





Sticking her little tongue out...





Big Yawn!





She always has her hands on her face...this was true even in the womb! We never got a picture of her face because she was always touching her face.

Baby!

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to check in. I haven't been posting because our lovely L joined us. Being a new mom is exciting, but very busy. I'm not sure the next time I'm going to be able to post something, but I'm hoping things settle down here soon!

Snow Dogs

Hello There,

Finally, a post that isn't about crafts or babies. (About dang time, right?!?) My husband took these pictures over Spring Break while we were visiting his parents. They were taken with my little point and shoot, so I'm quite impressed at how they turned out. (Not to mention the fact my husband took them)

PIN Auction Thursday

Hi Everyone!

Happy Monday everyone! I wanted to let any fans who read my blog (and I
have no illusions its a large number) know that I have donated a
photography session to the Public Interest Network Silent Auction which
is Thursday, February 4th at 7:00 pm at the Eagles.

The Public Interest Network (PIN) is an organization at the law school.
The organization raises funds in order to give grants to students. These
grants allow students to take public interest internships that would
normally pay nothing. For more information or to donate visit:
http://elizabethburleson.com/PublicInterest.html

If you are the winning bidder, you can choose from the following sessions:



Smile.
This is a portrait session. Think senior pictures, maternity, head
shots, children or boudoir. Just you, me and the camera.



Promise.
This is our engagement session.



Kin.
This is the family session I offer. Two to eight family members. You can also add the dogs.

All sessions will be held outdoors unless some prior arrangement is
made. (This condition is due to the labor of hanging my backdrop. Being
6 months pregnant, I'm trying to avoid lifting the backdrop at all costs.)

All sessions include 7 picture touch-ups, 2 disks with all pictures (both raw and touched-up) and a copyright release for all images.

The session must be redeemed by May 7, 2010 or the winning bidder must
be willing to wait until late June or early July to redeem. I'm due May
21st and I'm guessing I might not want to take pictures right after
childbirth. Weird I know. ;)

These sessions range in price from $60 to $100 normally.

In addition to donating a photography session, I am in the process of making both therapy sacks and coffee cozies to be auctioned off. These are being made under my craft blog.



If you have any questions about the auction, please don't hesitate to
e-mail me at kristambenson@gmail.com. I won't be at the auction since
I'll be out of town starting Thursday through Monday.
