Sometimes it takes a few tries to get a decent weather day in January. Shooting outdoors in Tennessee in the Winter definitely requires some flexibility. So it didn’t surprise me when we rescheduled this session twice due to less than favorable outdoor conditions. I’m so glad we waited, though, because we hit the jackpot with a gorgeous, near 60 degree day on Tuesday! What a way to kick off the year! And this family? One of the most fun ever! We laughed so much I had to concentrate on keeping my camera steady! This is going to be a big share because these kids are gorgeous and sweet and well, I just couldn’t narrow it down any further. Keep an eye out for the gentleman in the pictures…he’s Rob Mortensen and he’s running for a State Senate seat here in Tennessee. We’ll be unvailing his individual images as his campaign gets underway. For now, enjoy the family images and keep his name in the back of your mind because he’s good people, with an amazing family behind him!
Thanks for the memories, Mortensen family! It was the best outdoor session of the year! ha ha ha.
parting shot (those crazy kids):
It’s registration time! The first SNAP workshop is up on the website. You can read all about what will be covered and register online starting today. The workshop fee is $55 and includes lunch, if you register by February 1. After that date, registration is $65. I’m also offering a “bring a friend’ deal. Everything is more fun when you bring a friend along! Register and pay together and save $$! The special “bring a friend’ deal allows 2 individuals to register for $90. This special is only through February 1, so don’t delay!!! (Each person will complete the form individually. Just note at the bottom that you’d like to bring a friend and list the friend’s name.)
You’ll find all of the details and the registration form here (or click on Information in the header bar above and look for SNAP workshop registration.)
I hope to see you there! It’s gonna be great!
Do you know about the khp referral program?
That’s right! When 3 folks book a session and each mention you as the person who told them about karenhalbert photography, your session fee is waived for your next session! Why, you might ask? Because I love it when you send your friends to me, and you guys do it often! Think of it as a big fat thank you from me!!!
Are you excited? A free session is in your future!
Tell your friends to mention you when they book their session or give them one of your custom referral cards to turn in when they book! Not a current client? That’s ok! You can refer friends too! Just make sure they mention you. I can’t wait to see you for your free referral session soon!
I would have missed the opportunity to capture this…with a little help from my Dad (and Mom.) It’s the first professional image that I’ve ever had of me with my two boys alone. I love that it was at the last minute and that, even though we didn’t have time to plan the perfect clothing or hair or posing, it is us. Today. January 13, 2012. On a snowless snow day.
It is sure to be an awesome Valentine’s Day now. I’ve already received a super fantastic gift from the two little loves of my life!
Oops! I neglected to add this to the blog…there are a few slots left on Thursday. Contact me ASAP if you’d like to be included!
the canvas sale ends at 8! don’t be late!
I am proud to share what I hope will be my annual end of the year slideshow with you. Thank you to my current and past clients for the wonderful experiences I have had working with you. You repeat clients warm my heart especially!!! And to those who follow khp but haven’t yet come to visit, I hope 2012 will be the year we get to know each other better by spending a little time together as well!
Enjoy a look at some of the images that made 2012 spectacular. I am honored to provide images like these for families to cherish and I am so blessed to be able to call you friends! Click the khp logo below…

Nothing is sweeter than a fresh, new baby. Nothing. Of course, if that baby is itty bitty (like 5 pounds) AND related to you, well then it is heaven in a blanket!!! And that description suits sweet miss Maggie Claire. Born on the Tuesday before Christmas, late in the evening, miss Maggie and her parents, Ross & Laura, spent their first Christmas as their very first day at home as a family. Not a bad was to spend Christmas, if you ask me!!! I had the absolute pleasure of spending a little time with Maggie yesterday before we headed home from our Halbert family Christmas. She was lovely, tiny and I would have been happy to pack her in my suitcase if I’d been given the chance. Sure wish I lived closer…sounds like Mom would have been happy to have me hang out with her darling little one so she could get a little rest!
We kept these simple. A few images that show how beautiful this new family member is. I know that the next time I see her she’ll have grown a mile!!
Maggie wasn’t very interested in being a supermodel. She was more interested in getting back to Mommy. But all was good when she got in Daddy’s arms. She settled right in and tolerated a few more images.
I think she’s already perfected the art of having Daddy wrapped around her finger just by wrapping around his.
Thanks, Laura & Ross, for allowing Tyler and I a little time with Maggie yesterday. She is gorgeous and I have a hard time believing that she’ll probably be toddling around at Thanksgiving next year!!
parting shot, in the most adorable tutu from her Aunt Amy:
