A little note from one of our clients! “Kara at Kara Powell Photography has been our photographer for 10 years and has truly become an extended member of our family. I met Kara when I was trying to schedule a surprise session for my parents. That year my family was scattered across the globe and...
Selecting a time of day for your photo session is sometimes hard to do. Photographers prefer sunrise or sunset. But what is you have small children that do NOT prefer those times. That is ok, just let us know and we can find a location that has a lot of shade. This way we...
Airplane was my son’s favorite game when he was young. Actually until he was around 8. He loved everything about it. I’m sure all of your kids have favorite games you all play. This is why I always suggest to wear cute AND comfortable clothes to your session. Just in case we play games. You...
One of my favorite things to do is to ask a bunch of questions at your consultation to get to know you. This allows me to tailor your session to you, so that it is custom and looks like you. I did this for this family and we found out that her mother had...
Santa’s sleigh would weigh over 400,000 tons if it carried enough toys for all the children in the world. To carry that much weight, Santa would need over 360,000 reindeer. Fun Santa facts. Santa sessions are on November 13 and 14. Packages start at $250. We would love to see you this year. These sell...
Seeing Santa doesn’t have to be scary. Actually, seeing Santa Todd is really fun! My clients have a great time and look forward to it all year long. Some have been coming for 9 years and love Santa Todd. He is fabulous with kids, as he is a retired school teacher. We do a lot...
This little one is mine. Look at his little grumpy face. It is one that screamed for 2 hours during his professional newborn session. It was only during the third hour (that I had to pay extra for) that he finally fell asleep and she got this image. I should have known then that he...
“A day without a nap for a baby is like a cupcake without frosting.” And you know how much I love cupcakes. And naps actually. So put them together and this is probably why I love babies. They are masters at napping!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Was your newborn a great napper? Caden was, and he still can sleep...
When I was little, I had an obsession with the ocean. Probably because we would go to Hawaii for Christmas every 4 or 5 years. So it was my happy place. My parents let me adopt a humpback whale and after that, everything was aquariums, Hawaii posters and save the whales. So when I walked...
Cake smashes… Did you know that they don’t have to be cake? Some of my client’s kiddos have allergies, so we have been doing out of the box sessions. Here are some of the fun ideas I have done: Ice cream, donuts, tacos, yogurt (pictured), cookies, carrot cake, fruits, colored whip cream, and veggie cakes....
