Yesterday I was honored to capture photos for one of my dearest families. It wasn’t the kind of photos I’d ever seek out. In fact, it hurt me to my core to be there, but I was so honored I got to be. As those photos, so many that I was blessed to take, flashed on the screen in front of a packed house at Boles, I realized how magical this gift of mine is. I mean, I get to be one that tells your stories. That gets to document every bit of your lives, from engagement to family. For the family yesterday, I was there from engagement, to wedding, to the very last whole family photos of them only a few months ago. My heart aches for them and I’m so thankful I could do this one last thing for him. So his kids have something to look back on when the memories of yesterday start getting blurry. What an honor.

It made me realize that my break from photography is sad. I stopped capturing so many of your milestones. But I know better than anyone that times are hard and photography is expensive, maybe even considered a luxury that isn’t achievable. So I’m asking now if anyone interested in some fall photos? If you are send me a message. I’m thinking about setting up a day or two of shooting! Or offering some evening weekday sessions while this fall sky is so lovely. I miss seeing my friends and capturing their kiddos & families. I’ll discount my family session rates and you’ll get some much over due photo documentation of this precious & short life we are all living.

Hug your loved ones. Tell them over and over again how much you need them, how much you love them. Take a second to stop thinking about the politics, bills, the stressors of life and just love the ones around you. It matters. Take a minute to look around at the mess, and chaos of life and just appreciate it. Soak it all in and know it’s so good. ❤️

And send prayers to the most beautiful family, the ones left with the strongest most beautiful mother, the children whose hearts are broken right now. They could use those prayers and love right now more than ever.

Hey everyone! The contract says I only keep your albums online for 3 months. It’s so hard for me to remove them, but some of you have been living on the site for 4 or more years! I’m cleaning house this week! Go download another copy of your images before I take them down!

I suggest having a family member do the same. I’ve been contacted so many times by people who have lost their computers and hard drives and are hoping and praying I still have your images! Save it somewhere else too!

If you need help, reach out! I can check to see if it’s still online, and resend the link if you lost it. If you need longer than a week let me know.

Thank you.
❤️ K

Wow 🤩

Girls in the Windows, 1960.

This iconic photograph shows 43 women in colorful clothing posing in 41 windows of a condemned brownstone building in Manhattan.

It was the summer of 1960, and photographer Ormond Gigli was working in his studio on 58th Street, across the street from a group of brownstones that were about to be demolished. The windows had been removed and Gigli had an idea of photographing a group of women, one in each of the window openings, wearing formalwear.

The demolition supervisor agreed to let Gigli go ahead – as long as his wife could be in the photograph. Gigli could shoot the next day during the worker’s lunch hour. When the workers returned after lunch, the building would be pulled down.

Gigli and his staff only had 24 hours to plan the photo, find volunteer models to pose for the shot, and get permission from the city. There was a gaping hole in front of the building so they also located a Rolls-Royce to sit on the sidewalk in front.

Word went out to local modeling agencies, and plenty of people volunteered to take part. The sun shone, the weather was lovely, and the photo shoot took an hour. After the photo was taken, the models left, and the building came down.
