He was also quite fond of the swings as we found out. I have never seen someone giggle so much as he did that day. He was having a blast!

We were all very excited to see the ice cream man pull up after a long few hours in the heat. Thank you Shannon and Karen for bring Alex out to the park on such a hot day!

I just wanted to give those that are looking at my services a heads up that the new 2010 pricing will be in effect no later than October 1st of this year. If you are planning on booking and want to get locked in at 2009 rates please contact me before then to get set up. Contact me directly with any questions or concerns. If you have already signed a contract this does not apply to you. Thanks!

As some of you may have noticed it has been a while since I have posted anything new. I wanted to hold off until I had the new blog up and running as it will now feature larger full width images and meshes much better with the look of my main website www.kmbphotos.com. I have been saving up quite a few shoots from this summer so be sure to sign up for email alerts at the top of the page so you don’t miss out on anything new. Comments are always welcome…unless you are trying to spam me with utter non-sense in which case shame on you.

Enjoy!

Also, I have lots of photos to post from shoots I did prior to my going away so check back in a few weeks for the back flow of blog posts.

Enjoy!

Packages are normally $150 an hour and only include online proofs. I am going to add in the same print package I was offering below of 1-8×10, 2-5×7’s and 8 wallets of the same image. This is a $200 value for only $150. Any additional prints or prints on canvas etc will be extra. Please contact me with any questions or to schedule your photo shoot.

Thanks!!

It has come to my attention that the majority of people who I speak to are unaware that I offer baby and child photography. I assume that is due to the lack of baby and child photos on my website. I am looking to change that. So….

I am offering 5 FREE baby or child sessions.

All child shoots will take place in an outdoor environment (preferably starting in spring when its warm) where the kids can run around and well be kids…Newborn shoots will take place inside your home where babies can sleep and be more comfortable (these can be done any time since weather is not a factor).

Included in the shoot will be an online gallery of the images as well as 1-8×10, 2-5×7’s and a sheet of 8 wallets of the same image. Anything else you would like to add such as a canvas or extra prints will be extra.

All I ask in return is that you pass the word along to friends and families who you think would be interested in a photo shoot to help me build the baby and child section of my business.

This FREE shoot is a $200 value so contact me quick to hold your spot before all 5 spots are taken up.

The weather was a bit questionable for most of the week but finally Friday there was a beautiful bright blue sky which meant it was time for Parasailing. I had never been Parasailing before so I wasn’t sure what to expect but it was so easy. They strap you in a harness and life vest before you go to the platform on the back of the boat, next you take a seat while they hook you to the harness and as they start to drive the boat you just float up off the platform. The next thing you know you are up in the air with an amazing view across the entire island and of some dolphins below if you are lucky. It’s so quiet you can’t even hear the boat engine running. Landing was just as easy! A quick dunk in the water if you want then back in the air for your landing on the platform.

Everyone who works there is great and makes sure you have a fun safe time! It is definitely worth checking out if you are looking for something fun to do while on vacation. For more information go HERE.

Here are a few pictures…

Even my dad went in the air..

The view down the beach from the air…YES I took the D300 up with me after some crazy looks from the other Parasailers!!

With that out of the way I can finally get to work on a variety of other projects that will be in the works in the next few months. Keep an eye out for my new proofing site coming soon.

Also here is a list of items available that you may not know about:

-Custom guest signature books – Made using your engagement photos these books have lots of blank area’s for guests to sign and leave messages for you on your big day. These are a very personal and creative alternative to your traditional guest book that you won’t want to just stuff in a box after the day is over.

-Custom Save the Date & Thank You Cards – These are designed using your engagement or wedding day photos. If you are interested in these please let me know ahead of time so we can discuss some of the fun and unique ways you can either let people know you are getting married or tell them thanks for coming on your special day!

Gift Registry & Gift Certificates – You create a gift registry for toasters and bath towels so why not for photography. It’s easy as can be, all you have to do is provide me with a list of items you would like guests to purchase for you and then give them my contact info just as you would the link to your other bridal registries. You can register for album upgrades such as more pages or a larger book, what about a nice canvas for your living room wall, extra hours of coverage or a Trash the Dress session. Non-specific Gift Certificates can also be purchased in any denomination.

Family Portrait Sessions & “Watch Me Grow” Baby Sessions – Besides weddings I am also available for family portrait sessions in a natural outdoor setting of your choice. “Watch Me Grow” baby sessions consist of 6 photo shoots starting about 1-2 weeks after birth and continue at 3, 6, 9, 12 and 24 months. The first few shoots usually take place in the comfort of your home and can later be done outside at the local playground or park as your child grows and becomes more mobile. Packages include proofs after each session and an 8″ x 8″ album at the end showing your child’s growth from birth to 2 years. These make great gifts for expecting parents.

If you have any suggestions or comments (good or bad) that you would like to share with me please go to my website and send me a message through the contact form. The feedback is always appreciated.

Have a happy, safe and dry (if possible) 4th of July!! I am excited to see many of you soon for your upcoming engagement sessions and weddings!!
