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.

Merry Christmas!

Season's Greetings!

Despite an interesting Christmas (explanation and picture to follow next week), me and my family wish you a wonderful Christmas.

Announcing: Family and Portrait Sessions

Hi Everyone,

I will be doing Family and Portrait Sessions for Christmas presents and Christmas cards over the next two weekends (October 23, 24 and 25 and October 30, 31 and November 1st)

A standard family and portrait session includes approximately an hour session and five touch-ups. You get the copyrights for all the pictures taken. You are responsible for printing the pictures. (this method prevents high printing costs) You will get two CD's. One CD will have all the proofs and the other will have the pictures you chose to have touched-up. All the pictures will be outside at different locations I find. You will have the option of adding a personalized holiday card for an additional cost. I don't mind photographing pets; however, you have to consider that it will take a bit longer to get the shot.

If you would like to schedule a session or get more information, please e-mail me at kristambenson@gmail.com.

Hope to see you soon!
Krista

A & K

Hi Everyone!
Finally, I'm going to post some wedding pictures that I took at the beginning of the school year. The pictures were pretty fun. It was a long day driving to and from, but the pictures definitely seemed worth it. Enjoy!
