Spinoff of 10 on Tuesday!   Sorry, didn’t get to it yesterday, I was WAY too busy and am very tired!  If you’re waiting on me for something whether it’s proofs or what not, no fear!  I’m getting to all of it in order!

We’re finishing our basement and apparently I have an affinity for mudding drywall, who knew?!  So I’ve been doing that!  And last night I sanded and mudded for 3.5 hours without dinner and realized it was 9:30.  UGH.  Just want this over with!

If you seen my website it says there’s new pricing for 2010 in place, if you’re curious: www.karatography.com/pricing

and I’m still working on the blog switch but I am getting on a new header!  I have a bunch of things that I have to get done for clients first, and my office being in shambles for a week really put me behind!

I have a wedding this week, so you’ll be seeing some more pictures, and it’s going to be a SUPER cool one!!

And last but not least, we got the puppy and passed our home inspection!  (which really means we’re  not crazy people).  I’ll post pictures ASAP, I promise!

That’s really it, don’t forget about boudoir pictures if you are a fall bride, get in on my July session!  And there’s still some room in June!  OH and Fredericks of Hollywood has some great stuff that’s pretty inexpensive!  I also saw some at Forever 21 and H&M, not large selections but inexpensive

So yeah, that’s “the week in Kara”

I have a session to post tomorrow!

Until next time,

Kar

So this was a fun wedding, little did I know it was going to be a HUGE wedding until a few weeks before!  So I called upon some of my friends and luckily Morgan was available to come along and learn and second shoot for me!

I’ve known the grooms family for 3 years now, watched the youngest place first in jr. high state in wrestling a few years ago as my husband coached him!  And well, there’s 5 boys.  So enough is said    Both families were very sweet even though things didn’t go 100% according to plan!  (weddings tend to run not on schedule all the time…including if your groom forgets the ring…wait, Lauren, did he not tell you that??  But the look on his face was priceless!  Luckily it made it on time to the ceremony!)

Ok, you want to see the pictures right?  I suppose this IS a photo blog at the end of the day…

We’ll start with the boys!

So both the groom and this groomsmen are both wrestling officials so this shot was kind of necessary

All the brothers and dad:

And some of Lauren, isn’t she just glowing?

And some of the groom!

And then it was time for the ceremony to begin!

So the plan was to do a butterfly release…but…it was raining…and the butterflies hadn’t woken up yet…so it was a kind of release!

Isn’t this one just too sweet?

So when I ask you for your rings, do you ever wonder what I do with them?  Don’t worry, I’ll give them back but I’m off to do some fun ring shots!!

And onto the reception!  Lauren’s little girl loved her veil!

One of Kevin’s brothers gave a very lovely speech to which he ended that any single women were to give back their keys to his house, unbeknown to everyone, his brother had given them to several much older women than Kevin!

They were nice to each other when it came to the cake!

The bride with one of her new brother in laws (the youngest) isn’t this light awesome!?

Kevin arranged for a song to be sung for Lauren that they both loved, it was very sweet of him to have the serenade

WHEW, that was a big post!  I think I need to get some slideshows going from now on!  (and I have pictures of all the girls, just didn’t get to them yet!)

Until next time!

Ok, I know, I promised this last week, but my office is getting a total rehaul and I was getting yelled at for not cleaning and playing online instead. So anyway, let’s start with the things you want to know what it includes:

• up to 90 minutes of shooting time (time allowance is 2 hours) and editing and retouching
• unlimited outfits (I suggest 5-7 and yes, I have suggestions on the contract!)
• password protected online proofing
• 8.5×11 20-side album with plain black cover
• images on a DVD with the album in case you want to print some more

The cost for each person is $200 with a $75 non-refundable (but transferable) deposit. The rest is due on the day of the shoot.

Dates:

June 13 (city, hotel TBD)

9am, 11am, 4pm, 6pm, maybe 8pm if there’s interest!

June 14 (city, hotel TBD) – SOLD OUT

July 12 (suburbs, Renaissance Schaumburg, I like this hotel!)

9am, 11am,  5pm, and 7pm

Frequently asked questions:

Can I bring a friend? – Yes! Please only girls though

How long does it take to get the book? – Here’s my rough timeline for how it works: 1 weeks to get the proofs to you, 1 week to design the book and 1 week for the book to come in. That’s on my end, you need to get me the numbers of what photos you want in the book (don’t worry, I’ll remind you!), so the quicker you get those to me and approve your book or make changes, then it will be closer to the 3 week timeline, I would suggest 4 weeks or more though!

I won’t be doing another marathon until possibly late August/early September!

Email me to book your session now!! kara@karatography.com
