Kristin Michelle Photography

About a month ago, I had an order for a set of felt chocolate chip cookies. When I went to address the package I realized it was going to my hometown in Ohio! What a weird coincidence, right? I sent along a note to say thanks and let the buyer know I was an Alliance native as well. In return she posted the adorable photo she took of this precious little baby with a cookie monster hat and my cookies!

Turns out, she's a family photographer and does amazing work! I couldn't pass up the opportunity to share her great work and spotlight a fellow Alliance talent. Make sure to check out her Facebook page and Website for more sweet photos and details on how to get your face in her camera :)

A First Time for Everything

About a month ago Kelly Jo asked me if I would do some maternity photos of her and Randy before the baby arrived. To be honest, I was a little nervous at first. What a huge privledge to document such a special time in their lives...and what a huge weight on my shoulders to get it just right! But, I'm always up for a challenge, so I agreed without hesitation and got to work researching pregnant lady photos (I'll admit, this was a first).

Most photographed steps in Freemason? Quite possibly...

We were so lucky to have beautiful weather, upper 70s and a golden sunset. We spent about an hour walking around Freemason, posing in front of little spots I had scouted out. During our little shoot, a couple with their professional photographer walked by and I felt like the real deal for a hot minute, haha.

Lucky for us, the tide was in!

The best part of the whole evening was making some lovely photos of two amazing people. They were so much fun to photograph. Randy was an great sport and helped me get more comfortable with telling people how to pose. Plus, he had some great ideas of his own (above).

I just love this photo of her!

I have to thank them both for letting my amateur skills help document their special time. Maybe by their next one I'll have a few more tricks up my sleeve ;)
