Then you have to promise to stay with me... and scroll ALL the way down. AND comment...There's a TON.
First - for a lovely client. But let me preface it by saying... if you're ever going to buy hair dye... make sure it is THIS exact color. And then CALL me and I'll take your pictures. Because this LOVELY family made me EVER soooooo happy with this TO DIE FOR hair color (all their own, too!). Every picture I *squeeled* with delight.
This little guy was FAST. Love his older brother's face in this.
Give me a kissy...
There were SO many from this session. But she's viewing them tomorrow - and YOU KNOW what I'm about to type... she's got to see them first. But OHHHH that glorious hair. Makes me SO happy. I just pray my little *Licious* keeps her red hair!
NOW - on to some VOTING on your part. But... a story first.
I had my eye on this abandoned house. And I wanted to do a little "story" of my girl. Which went something like this...
"My my Grandmother, what big TEETH you have..."
"All the better to KISS you with my dear!"
Ohhh I had SO much fun with this. Down to the very last detail of having the cape made. Ummm - I kind of want one now. Oh -ya - and BORROWING the dog, because we don't have one. Thanks, Jamie. ;0)
And then we went to the *HOUSE*. Which... APPARENTLY isn't just *any old house*. Let me show you and YOU tell me what YOU think...
ummmm ya. A BIT freaked out even TYPING this. Ok - before I tell the entire story, let me post all the pics that I LOVE.
see. I told you it was a SERIOUS post.
When I was taking the last two images she started to scream. Saying "thewe's a snake! It's wed and black!" (but it was MUCH sweeter coming from a girl who can't say her R's.) I'm like - Noooooooooooooo - I'm SURE there's not. So my dad came over and looked.... "yes - I think there was!" So we quickly escape the *abandoned home* (see, I'm even too afraid to write haunted!) AHHH!
Then as we're driving home, she said "I'm NEVEW going back to that FWEAKY old HOUSE... AGAIN!"
Soooooooooo funny!
So - you get to VOTE. Which one of my girl do you want to see on the WEBSITE? It's going to be on one of the opening pages. So give me your vote! I did keep two for myself - they ARE on the site. But you'll have to wait..........
Now - off to sleep. What? What's that???
OMG the red hair and the last one in bw, the kissy face -- that is SOOOO gorgeous! They better buy that one, it's perfect!
Oh I'm laughing about the haunted house. You poor thing, and a snake? Oh my god I would have freaked and RUN RUN RUN. But a haunted house, not so much. I'd be more likely to go inside and look around :P She looks adorable of course, and as I said I LOVE LOVE LOVE them all. The ones with the dog are TOO CUTE!

Haunted house huh.. my house is haunted ( my house is also over 200 years old with a secret staircase I would just expect it to be our ghost is Joey and believe it or not he is very helpful with the finding of the lost things But some haunted houses are way too creepy they have a really creepy vibe that one looks like it has a really creepy vibe.. The snake is what would really fweak me out.. I fweak out at the one garderner snake that shows up in our yard and My husband refuses to kill it.. grrrr.. ok well sorry you got freaked out.. but it was worith it the shots are amazing.

Kara- Why is it when I take a picture and all the kids aren't looking it looks terrible? I LOVE you real life pictures. My secret dream and not really a secret dream is you shooting my family pictures. AHHH someday! I love the picture of her on the walk, the color one, love love love it!! I also really like those last two. Good luck deciding. I can't wait to see your site and share it with everyone!

Votes from a stranger.... Photo number one, hands down.
Posted by: sara anthony | October 29, 2007 at 09:41 AM
I vote for the last color image. Red cape is strikeing against all the green tones. I like the last image for b&w... but I'd take advantage of the red+green combo for an opening shot.
Posted by: Kathy | October 29, 2007 at 10:11 AM
How on earth are we supposed to choose????? UGH! If I have to say just one.... the very last one is my personal favorite.
LOVE the pictures of that awesome family!!!! I'll bet it was so much fun shooting their pictures!

#2 color and the last one BW

Kara, Hi! I love them all, but my favorite of your girl is the second to the last. I also love the last one, and the one in color with her looking at the tree. Don't be afraid of the snakes, they are more than likely just garter snakes, and won't hurt anybody. Keep taking the shots you want at the house, the snakes will just go away if they see you. I love the shots of the family too!

That was some serious postage but I LOVED it!!! She is SO perfect for that cape. I also think she would make an adorable "Goldilocks and the 3 (teddy) bears" too.
So my 2 faves are 75e and 115e...they are both stunning images. Can't wait for that website to debut!

Love, love, love the one in color with the tree! I'm a sucker for awesome trees and well, the color of the red cape is so vibrant and draws your eye right to her. Man, she's cute.

Posted by: Brooke Drellos | October 30, 2007 at 08:32 AM
My vote - first color with dog - first color walking on the path - and the last two bw. LOVE THEM KARA!!!
Posted by: Chelsie Dell | October 30, 2007 at 12:22 PM
love these, my pick is 75e. I love the feeling I get looking at it and the colors. Can't go without 115 b/w too ;D
Posted by: April | October 30, 2007 at 09:05 PM
This is TOUGH! THEY are all absolutely fabulously STUNNING! For color I think the one with the tree and for b/w the second to last but I LOVe the last one too. But the feeling in the second to last knocks me upside my heart!
