Suffolk Family PhotographerThe last time I photographed this family was back when their little guy was brand new. I drove out to their house, and on the way, drove by this gorgeous tree farm! I thought to myself, "...wouldn't that be a fun place to do a photoshoot...." <br /><br />So when they called to do a family shoot, I suggested the tree farm! <br /><br />Stroke of genius. Clearly.<br /><br />And then the holes... <br /><br />When Melissa called to get the permission from the owners of the tree farm, he said, "Just watch out for the holes..."<br /><br />Talk about a hazard for a shoot with an exuberant toddler who just wanted to ruuuuun! <br /><br />But we managed to avoid chaos and injury and really had an amazing time early this Saturday morning. <br /><br />Thank-you Collins family for being so amazing. The images are gorgeous and I appreciate your humor and laid-back attitudes!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/i-VqVGdRs/0/L/i-VqVGdRs-L.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px; height: 540px;" src="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/i-VqVGdRs/0/L/i-VqVGdRs-L.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/i-wp3sVzQ/0/L/i-wp3sVzQ-L.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px; height: 540px;" src="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/i-wp3sVzQ/0/L/i-wp3sVzQ-L.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/i-F4nbnQs/0/L/i-F4nbnQs-L.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px; height: 540px;" src="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/i-F4nbnQs/0/L/i-F4nbnQs-L.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/i-FVdPvhg/0/L/i-FVdPvhg-L.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 405px; height: 600px;" src="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/i-FVdPvhg/0/L/i-FVdPvhg-L.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/i-7hKLFhS/0/L/i-7hKLFhS-L.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px; height: 540px;" src="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/i-7hKLFhS/0/L/i-7hKLFhS-L.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/i-ZvttBxV/0/L/i-ZvttBxV-L.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 405px; height: 600px;" src="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/i-ZvttBxV/0/L/i-ZvttBxV-L.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/i-9XPhPkd/0/L/i-9XPhPkd-L.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px; height: 540px;" src="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/i-9XPhPkd/0/L/i-9XPhPkd-L.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/i-WgpRBWC/0/L/i-WgpRBWC-L.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px; height: 540px;" src="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/i-WgpRBWC/0/L/i-WgpRBWC-L.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Until next time,<br /><br />~ KKassia Reedy Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17713683848101032160noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-550451467326811289.post-46026357693401362192011-05-17T23:58:00.003-04:002011-05-18T00:12:00.531-04:00Meg & Kyle ... Take IIII talk to myself.<br /><br />Sometimes it's motivational, sometimes I'm berating myself, sometimes I'm having an in-depth debate... sometimes I just have the irrational need to say <span style="font-style:italic;">whatever</span> outloud. <br /><br />Over the last few nights as I've edited these images... it's been things like, "They are SO photogenic..." or "...I want her skin..." or "... blue eyes rule..." Minor statements of disbelief at how preposterously gorgeous this couple is. <br /><br />Plus, they are friends... <br /><br />And this is my 3rd time shooting them (well, HER)...

We have a race and it's, "Ready, Set... GARGLE!" As some erupt in giggles and eyerolls and others race off like it's the Olympics, I can't help but laugh. <br /><br />It's Spring Break. My son wanted a sleepover. I hemmed and hawed and dawdled and finally <del>banged my head on a wall</del> agreed. To my surprise, we actually had a really good time... we decorated frisbees, had a little treasure hunt, made our own pizzas and watched a movie! It was great and everything a sleepover should be. <em>**hint: for a successful sleepover, have mucho activities planned!!**</em><br /><br />The next morning after a yummy breakfast of pancakes, we went outside to work off some energy. I... OF COURSE...made them all stop the chaos and pose for a picture. My instructions... "Okay. When I say jump, I want everyone to jump up at the same time! Be crazy! Throw your hands in the air and get your legs up... But everyone together!" It took maybe 5 times :) But we got a good one (possibly *ahem* with the help of a fantastic tool known as PHOTOSHOP)... <br /><br />So here we go:<br /><br />Ready... set...!!!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/1241551094_Dgnp6-L.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px; height: 540px;" src="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/1241551094_Dgnp6-L.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />JU-JU-BEES!!!!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/1241541384_RaGMA-L.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px; height: 540px;" src="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/1241541384_RaGMA-L.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />This is what it's about.

Mainly my family... but with a bit of a different twist than my normal editing style... just for fun. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/1229686376_dVFas-L.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 405px; height: 600px;" src="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/1229686376_dVFas-L.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">(above)</span> November -- After being stuck in the house for a few days with sick little Noah, we took a cautious car trip out and about so he could get out of the house and see something besides the TV and the couch. The leaves were changing and the weather was fresh and beautiful so we drove the Colonial Parkway from Yorktown to Williamsburg. Just 'cause.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/1229686761_F5bVL-L.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px; height: 540px;" src="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/1229686761_F5bVL-L.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />December -- our annual trip up the road to spend time with DJ's extended family during the holiday season. Noah loves playing with everyone... a house full of boys and he's in absolute, pure, heaven.

We grabbed a bunch of fun stuff (bikes, scooters, skateboards) and went out to the beach. Trey got this skateboard from Santa and is still working on mastering it...

I give a meek wave and hope everyone remembers me... <br /><br />It's been ages. <br /><br />I know this.<br /><br />And I've missed you.<br /><br />I took a nice long break. I hugged my kids, I spent time with my family and I worked at my 9-5... Now, as our life gets ready to take another turn, I'm back here ready to have one last round of fun. <br /><br />As with most military families, our presence in one place is often fleeting... we don't have specifics yet, but know that we will probably be moving on before the year is out. <br /><br />However, before things get too chaotic, I would like to spend some time doing what I love the most... photographing your families. See the information below for all the details of the upcoming spring/summer sessions.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/1217822894_mE5ZU-L.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px; height: 571px;" src="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/1217822894_mE5ZU-L.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />I can't wait to hear from you! <br /><br />More for this side soon... !<br /><br />Until next time,<br />~ KKassia Reedy Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17713683848101032160noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-550451467326811289.post-1937681903033452222010-11-29T22:00:00.002-05:002010-11-29T22:41:38.629-05:00My VERY first clients...Back when we lived in Japan and I didn't even OWN a DSLR camera, I met another budding photographer at work. We went out on a "photo safari" and I brought along my little fuji point-and-shoot... I had no idea what I was doing but liked the idea of creating something with a combination of what I saw through the "lens" and what I could accomplish in post-processing (which at that time was Corel's Paint Shop Pro). <br /><br />Another of our friends at work, who was pregnant with her first child, asked if we would take some pictures for her... I had NO idea what I was doing... was probably shooting on Auto and was absolutely using a cheap-cheap lens. <br /><br />I think this is how most of us start... shooting portraits for our friends, practicing, practicing, practicing.... practicing posing and settings and post-processing and interacting with children and couples and making small-talk... it all takes a lot of practice. And, at least where I'm concerned, all of those families who allowed me to practice my trade mean so much to me. <br /><br />So this family... my very very first photo shoot ever... mean so much. And on top of being my guinea pigs, they are good friends. <br /><br />So. All that blah-blah aside :) Here are the pics...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/1109343155_Jj3Yw-L.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px; height: 540px;" src="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/1109343155_Jj3Yw-L.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/1109343129_Yof4u-L.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 405px; height: 600px;" src="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/1109343129_Yof4u-L.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/1109343100_JfqWD-L.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px; height: 540px;" src="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/1109343100_JfqWD-L.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Thank-you guys for being amazing! <br /><br />Until next time,<br />KKassia Reedy Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17713683848101032160noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-550451467326811289.post-88486278708880861312010-11-02T00:57:00.001-04:002010-11-02T00:59:59.584-04:00* Love *<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/1074153503_wpY29-L.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px; height: 540px;" src="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/1074153503_wpY29-L.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/1074153522_UhG6D-L.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 405px; height: 600px;" src="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/1074153522_UhG6D-L.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Hope you're having a wonderful day :)Kassia Reedy Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17713683848101032160noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-550451467326811289.post-4022990332285001262010-10-30T21:43:00.003-04:002010-10-30T22:12:36.286-04:00Things That Make Me Nervous...* Public speaking<br />* Large crowds<br />* Walking into a party all by myself<br />* Cooking for company<br />* Watching my daredevil boys doing things that are potentially dangerous...<br /><br />oh wait...<br /><br />* and photographing other photographers<br /><br />Inevitably I work myself up into a ball of nerves, but there's something about getting out there, putting the camera up to your face that kind of ... makes it all go away... settings, posing, interacting with little ones all takes precedence and before you know it, you've been out there for 40 minutes and have a CF card full of gorgeous shots.

October?! Really? Wasn't it just July? <br /><br />Life in this house is non-stop. Just ask our friends who are patient and kind and keep loving us even though we are rarely available for dinner or get-togethers or phone calls... And our family who hear from us in disjointed phone calls in between bath time, story time and bed time... and who are patient and watch the kids grow via facebook... <br /><br />But even though we are almost constantly tired, we are happy. And we wouldn't have it any other way. <br /><br />So for this reason (and so many others), I'll be taking a much needed break this holiday season.<br /><br />See these faces here: <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/1056984054_otkVL-L.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 405px; height: 600px;" src="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/1056984054_otkVL-L.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />I'm going to spend the holidays reading to them, cuddling on the couch watching 'Home Alone' and 'Elf'...<br /><br />I'm going to go to bed before midnight...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/1056984034_HEMGZ-L.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 405px; height: 600px;" src="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/1056984034_HEMGZ-L.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />I'm going to watch this little boy make more of these crazy faces... <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/1056984007_rJ7kh-L.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 405px; height: 600px;" src="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/1056984007_rJ7kh-L.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />And I'm going to try and live life as wide open as he does... <br /><br />So ... I will be happily re-charged for Spring bookings early next year (watch out for spring mini-session announcements shortly after the holidays)! <br /><br />Oh and no worries... I'll keep posting to the blog throughout the season!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Until next time,<br />~KKassia Reedy Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17713683848101032160noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-550451467326811289.post-37143413789054799082010-10-16T23:07:00.003-04:002010-10-16T23:18:12.786-04:00A Mini-Session Sneak Peek!

Yorktown Family PhotographyI. LOVE. THIS. FAMILY.<br /><br />This is the second time I've had the pleasure of photographing them and ... they did not disappoint! I spent much of the time running after various kiddos and the other time laughing and giggling (okay, maybe not giggling... I'm really not much of a giggler, more like a snorter/belly laugh/outloud guffaw-type)...because they are so much fun! <br /><br />These three little ones are some of the most adorable, intriguing and whip-smart kids I've ever met. The twins are just 2 days younger than my little guy, so I know that they are always on the move. <br /><br />ALWAYS.<br /><br />Their parents are gorgeous and patient and have a very calm way with their kids. I love it. It just makes you want to be around them! <br /><br />So here you go guys... thanks for spending a great sunday morning with me!!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/1015924801_jiS65-L.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px; height: 540px;" src="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/1015924801_jiS65-L.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/1015906402_LybuG-L.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 406px; height: 600px;" src="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/1015906402_LybuG-L.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/1015906388_Vu3hg-L.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px; height: 570px;" src="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/1015906388_Vu3hg-L.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/1015906362_HycF9-L.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px; height: 410px;" src="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/1015906362_HycF9-L.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/1015906370_UeZDj-L.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 406px; height: 600px;" src="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/1015906370_UeZDj-L.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/1015906342_PDiBj-L.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px; height: 540px;" src="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/1015906342_PDiBj-L.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/1015906320_E5WC6-L.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 406px; height: 600px;" src="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/1015906320_E5WC6-L.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Until next time,<br /><br />~ KKassia Reedy Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17713683848101032160noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-550451467326811289.post-90461077799268186472010-09-19T15:50:00.003-04:002010-09-19T16:14:34.794-04:00A Windy Beach Session... Hampton Family PhotographyThere are many reasons I just love this family and it's not that I've known them for years... I met them for the first time the morning of the shoot...<br /><br />First, they agreed to meet bright and early at 715! Am I one of those crazy, freakishly cheerful morning people? No. Absolutely not. But there is nothing in the world like morning light and it's so nice to be able to shoot a family on the beach in this gorgeous light...<br /><br />Second, Peter is from MN... which immediately makes him cool. <br /><br />Third, they've lived in coastal SC... I've lived in coastal SC! <br /><br />And then to top it all off they were wonderful and brave and adventurous and had a great easy sense of humor! Even when Peter was attacked by a crazy rogue thorny vine (or... maybe he just... you know... backed into it... but it was crazy!) & we had to battle those little sticker-prickly things that affix themselves to EVERYthing...they had a great attitude. <br /><br />Take care guys and I'll have your gallery up soon :) <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/1013906380_Y22bW-L.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px; height: 540px;" src="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/1013906380_Y22bW-L.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/1013906458_Jot6n-L.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px; height: 540px;" src="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/1013906458_Jot6n-L.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/1013906415_XykeX-L.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px; height: 540px;" src="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/1013906415_XykeX-L.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/1013906510_fxqpw-L.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px; height: 540px;" src="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/1013906510_fxqpw-L.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/1013906494_jnGch-L.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 406px; height: 600px;" src="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/1013906494_jnGch-L.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Until next time,<br />KKassia Reedy Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17713683848101032160noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-550451467326811289.post-15017898330938398302010-09-10T22:51:00.002-04:002010-09-10T23:25:43.498-04:00Lisa, Dev & Kaela-Waela...

Hampton Family PhotographerOne of my favorite things about portrait photography is being able to watch kiddos grow. I had a session tonight with a family that I just love! We were commenting about how they've grown so much in the matter of a few months. Just last fall they looked like this:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/727426251_fBtrP-M.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 305px; height: 450px;" src="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/727426251_fBtrP-M.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Tonight, when I met with them for a special mini-session... here's what they've grown into: <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/986021303_TE27v-L.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 405px; height: 600px;" src="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/986021303_TE27v-L.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />and then the entire family of course... <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/986021330_PHtTV-L.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px; height: 540px;" src="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/986021330_PHtTV-L.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />It was great seeing you guys again!

The week-long trip on one of Charleston's outlying beaches was refreshing and exhausting all at the same time. We got home on Sunday afternoon and I was back at work at 0730 Monday morning...and we haven't really stopped since. <br /><br />But I really want to share a few pics here with you... like last year, I spent a little time taking family photos for each of my friends. :) So great how we change and how the kiddos grow... I hope this becomes an annual tradition.<br /><br />So, those posts are to come...<br /><br />For now, know that I haven't forgotten and as soon as I work through these recent shoots (and a few upcoming ones), we'll have intermittent posts about my friends. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/979159842_BjQya-L.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 401px; height: 600px;" src="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/979159842_BjQya-L.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Until then, this will have to do.<br /><br />Soon... <br /><br />~ KKassia Reedy Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17713683848101032160noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-550451467326811289.post-23956528255493422272010-08-18T22:22:00.003-04:002010-08-18T23:05:17.766-04:00A Garden Party...

I want to have a garden just like this..." <br /><br />With twinkle lights in the bushes, cold drinks on the porch, and jazz playing in the background it made for a beautiful party. <br /><br />All of this to celebrate the engagement of Steven and Robin who will be married this fall in southern california. <br /><br />I'm glad I was able to spend these few hours with you... <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/974717871_Q9kz5-L.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px; height: 540px;" src="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/974717871_Q9kz5-L.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/974717941_5Z2mw-L.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 405px; height: 600px;" src="http://kassiareedyphotography.smugmug.com/photos/974717941_5Z2mw-L.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />This might have been after the whale joke... or before?

Suffolk Newborn PhotographyI had the pleasure of meeting an adorable little man today... only 8 days old, Cam and I hung out for the better part of the morning. At first he wanted nothing to do with sleep and just looked around, checking out my gear, my sister (who graciously assisted me today), but most of all his mommy. <br /><br />Towards the end though... he finally gave into the pressure (maybe it was the space heater, or the sound machine... or the multiple feedings?) and snoozed for us a bit.<br /><br />Here you go mom and dad! We had a great time I can't wait to show you the rest!!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://reedyfamily.smugmug.com/photos/971001622_STXVf-L.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 405px; height: 600px;" src="http://reedyfamily.smugmug.com/photos/971001622_STXVf-L.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://reedyfamily.smugmug.com/photos/971001675_oth3n-L.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 405px; height: 600px;" src="http://reedyfamily.smugmug.com/photos/971001675_oth3n-L.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://reedyfamily.smugmug.com/photos/971001643_W8qig-L.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 405px; height: 600px;" src="http://reedyfamily.smugmug.com/photos/971001643_W8qig-L.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://reedyfamily.smugmug.com/photos/971001710_CuzrK-L.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px; height: 530px;" src="http://reedyfamily.smugmug.com/photos/971001710_CuzrK-L.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />Cam has an older brother... who loves playing with his toy trains and legos and loooves peanut butter! <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://reedyfamily.smugmug.com/photos/971001681_rWg2P-L.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 405px; height: 600px;" src="http://reedyfamily.smugmug.com/photos/971001681_rWg2P-L.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Until next time,<br /><br />~ KKassia Reedy Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17713683848101032160noreply@blogger.com0
