We made it!

Kara — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 00:09:22 +0000

Kristen of Kio Kreations and I made it to the top 10 out of 40 entries in the Inspired Creations contest on EAD! We’re so very excited and could use your comments on our innovative ideas! From the way to name your tables, fun ideas for picking your menu items, and lots of handmade flowers and details! We’d love your support (and since it’s a national contest, we’d love to show them that Chicago can bring it!)

See the original post here and then all of our DIY here!

In Love: Anna and Ethan Part 2

Kara — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 17:21:57 +0000

I’m sure I’ve been driving them nuts since I didn’t really include much on round 1…and I do that on purpose! It builds excitement right? Well you should be excited!! Anna and Ethan aren’t the type who want their photo taken for hours, they’re just not, and really I don’t think I am either, which makes my job fun because I get to show people that they are photogenic and can take great pictures, or in Anna and Ethan’s case, amazing

There are so many that I love from here and I could’ve spent a few hours shooting in one location with the sunflare for hours. Hours. But I digress. Half of what went on during the wedding, I couldn’t understand because it half of it was in Polish! But it was fun learning all the different traditions! I gotta give some more props to Emmett from Logi for being an awesome videographer and working so well with me! It was a lot of fun! Don’t worry Anna and Ethan, there’s lots more for you to see! I’m so excited about these images!!

Boudoir Update!

I know it sounds like it’s far away, but June is going to be just around the corner! I do have an update to it though! There will be FREE hair done! Cynthia Sally is now offering hair as part of her wedding services and her stylist was happy to do hair for our marathon! Cynthia and I are also available for bachelorette parties if you have at least 5 girls! And there is a discount if you and a friend book your sessions together!

And because no post is fun without a picture:

Kara — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 18:23:32 +0000

for the pup, not for the Kara. I’m busy busy busy working on albums and getting everything ready for the boudoir shoots this weekend! Don’t forget about the canvas sale below, and get in on that! I’m heading to the studio today to tackle a wall that is driving me batty, so stop by if you want!

(and yes, she’s using a pillow like a person…crazy dog)

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Since today’s a wonderful day and a holiday at best, let’s do another canvas sale! You have until Friday at 4pm to send me your order or add it onto your wedding package! But I’m doing another gallery wrap sale and these things are beautiful as everyone who walked into my studio went OOOoh with! (I’m also adding some fine art prints on heavy paper, these things are going to be awesome and locally supplied too!)

But let’s go with the canvas sale!

16×20 – $190
16×24 (and yes, this is correct) – $210
20×24 – $230
24×36 – $275

These are over 25% off my normal prices so get them while they’re hot!!

quiet day…

Kara — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 21:12:33 +0000

It’s a quiet day around here. David’s grandfather died on Friday somewhat unexpectedly so we’ve been dealing with that. I made corned beef and took it over to his grandmother yesterday and listened to her talk about whatever she wanted to and just was with her. Isabelle came along and wanted to cuddle and kept trying to get on the furniture or go chase birds outside. It’s been pretty quiet though and still kind of surreal. I’m thinking that the visitation tomorrow and funeral tuesday will make it real. Even though it wasn’t my family member, it’s still hard and sad.

On another note, Isabelle is loving that she can run without slipping. We’re also enjoying the walks that we can take. I need to get into wedding shape! I know that sounds funny but I need to start lifting weights again as the camera gear I carry is about 20lbs at any given moment and the camera itself is around 15 with a lens on it. So it’s back to wii active and 30 day shred and lots of walking! Wish me luck.
