awesome article "How to pick a good photographer"

A fellow photog wrote this awesome article about good quality photography, and how to pick a good photographer. A trained eye easily see these things, but it may be diffulicut for others to pickup. I love the examples she has used, showing the difference between a weak b&w conversion and a great one. Also check out the Lily blue which I sometimes use and love!

Lilly's 2nd modeling gig

Using Lilly as our model (which she loves) I have done a couple shoots for Handmaidens Cottage. She makes the cutest things, and we love her little girls' dresses and skirts. Lilly loved this dress so much that when it arrived in the mail she immediately had to put it on. Then I had to wrestle her out of it, and explain that, "No, you can not wear the pretty dress to bed even if you are a princess..."

The couple of shoots I have done for Handmaidens Cottage have been so fun for me! I kind of get to step back a little bit and focus on photographing the clothes instead of the person. I get to challenge myself, trying to decide which hairstyle will showcase each dress/skirt the best, what background compliments the product.

As far as the poses go, Lilly is truly a little model. She requires little, if any, direction from me. She just does her thing, which is sometimes funny, but usually produces great results.

Drop by this sellers Etsy store to check out her rockin' products! Tell her Katie Lou sent ya! www.etsy.com/shop/HandmaidensCottage

Sleepy sweetie | Central KY photographer

The sunlight was streaming through my kitchen door today. I walked by it and thought to myself "Man, that is some great light." but I resisted the urge to grab little Miss Darcy Kate and do some pics because she was getting pretty sleepy.

Then I walked by it again....these were the result! My very own sweetie pie on a antique quilt. As a lover of old quilts, and obviously a lover of babies, I really liked the result of our quick shoot! Darcy did not mind either. She feel asleep mid shoot!

"Kid tested, mother approved!" | Central KY photographer

First of all, happy 3rd birthday to my big boy! He turned 3 on the 23rd. Crazy!

As I was browsing the cereal aisle the other day the box of Kix cereal caught my eye. As most of us allergy Mom's do, I picked it up, turned it over, and began reading the ingredient label. There are a few cereals by GM that my kiddos can eat, and cross contaimation with GM has not been a issue for us, so I thought it was worth a peak. Guess what? Top 8 free according to the box.
So this morning my kiddos had Kix and rice milk for breakfast. Brody LOVED them! I swear he carried the box around all day long!

Now, I know my food allergy buddies can relate to the joy of finding a new safe food! Enjoy Brody's joy captured in pics!

In my red high heels!

I could not resist grabbing the camera when Lilly came prancing in the kitchen with my red high heels on! I really think this set of pictures will be some that I will treasure when Lilly is all grown up!

All of these were taken in my house with natural light! If you like this style of photography, I can come to your home and capture your children in their own environments, just being themselves! Just send me a e-mail for details!

Wow Katie, update already!

Seriously?? Ok, life with a newborn a almost 3 year old, and a 4 year old has been fun, but busy! Making trips twice a week for allergy shots for the older kids, plus doctor visits for myself and the baby keeps me beyond busy! My computer time has been limited, but everyone is sleeping now so I thought it would be a wonderful time to update my blog!!

I'll add a few pictures of Miss Darcy Kate. These were the pictures I took of her in the hospital at 1 day old. Many of you have seen these already, but I can't leave her out of the blog! She is 6 weeks old now, and it is true, time flies.

Since I am a natural light photographer, and my studio is in the garage, I have not taken any other pro pics of Darcy Kate yet. Let me tell you my camera is screaming at me to take some but I just can't bring myself to strip a 6 wk old down to her diaper is 7 degree weather. Nope, nope. Hurry up spring!

I am shooting again after enjoying a few weeks with the baby. I have pink, red, and white backdrops ready for Valentines Day, so just drop me a e-mail!
