Meet Ben and Alex – a super sweet couple who will be getting married next September. While talking about their session and getting to know them they stressed to me how much their adorable dog Riley is part of their family. Of course we had to include her in our session, she is family after all =) We met at Yates Mill Park to get some nature inspired shots since they both enjoy the outdoors. After getting some shots there we then headed to a different location to grab some shots with Riley and get a different feel for the pictures. Both Ben and Alex had told me they aren’t “great” at getting their pictures taken. I told them to practice, practice, practice between now and their wedding – looking at their pictures from last night though you’d never guess it. Beautiful smiles from both of them. Thanks for coming out to meet me yesterday, I had fun getting to know both of you and laugh with you. I wish you both the best of luck in your future – may it be filled with lots of laughter and love!
I thought I’d do something a little different and fun. I’m going to post a few questions about me – your photographer! We’ll see how well you know me, and maybe learn a few things about me that you didn’t know. If you don’t know the answer, feel free to guess! The person who comments on this post with the most correct answers will win a $25.00 gift certificate to KKP – perfect for a fall/holiday session! I’ll admit, those who frequently follow me on my facebook page will have an advantage here.
1) We’ll start off easy, what kind of photography do I specialize in?
2) What do I shoot with – Canon or Nikon?
3) Where do I work (my real full time job) ?
4) I have two daughters – what are their names?
5) What hat is the most requested/popular at my newborn sessions?
6) I just flew to Boston last week to surprise my grandmother on her birthday – how old is she?
7) What’s my favorite food? I’ll give you a hint, it’s a desert – although I sometimes would love to eat it for dinner =)
** Bonus Point ** Tell me something about YOU that I may not know!
It’s never to early to start thinking about those fall and holiday pictures! My calendar is filling up rapidly and I only have a few spots remaining for October and November. If you need pictures for holiday cards, it’s time to start thinking about getting that session on the calendar!
I will have 2 days available for mini-sessions. These will be 25 minute sessions, so please plan accordingly. I would hate for you to be late and miss your session. Session fee must be paid to reserve your spot.
Morning Session times: 9:00, 9:30, 10:00, 10:30
Late afternoon Session times: 3:30, 4:00, 4:30, 5:00
So you may remember my sweet friend Iriene from Artylicious cakes. If not you can see her post here: http://www.kristikrusephotography.com/2012/04/11/an-afternoon-with-artylicious-cakes-raleigh-photographer/ . She called me the end of May and told me she was asked to enter a cake to be considered in the June issue of Cake Central Magazine. She had quickly whipped up a beautiful “love birds” cake and now needed pictures to submit. Of course I jumped at the opportunity to take the pictures. Not only would I get the chance to have my work published, but I would get to see another one of Iriene’s amazing works of art and to spend some time with her. After the photo shoot I quickly put it in the back of my mind as summer was approaching and I had a lot on the calendar to keep me busy. One late night while editing and catching up on emails I received an email from Iriene saying we were selected and would printed in the June issue of Cake Central Magazine. I so wanted to scream out loud when I read the email, but was not going to risk waiting my sleeping kids. To say I was over the moon excited would be an understatement. I was not only excited because my work was going be published, but so proud and happy for Artylicious cakes. Her work is go impressive and deserves to be seen by everyone – and now it will.
Head on over to Artylicious cakes and congratulate her. While you’re there, check out her amazing work! You can find her on facebook : https://www.facebook.com/pages/Artylicious-Cakes/172283269496404, or on the web at www.artyliciouscakes.com.
