A Sneak Peek for Mommy...

Look who I got to spend my afternoon photographing! Many , many, more cuter than this on the way. My eyelids are too heavy, but I had to share this one right away....

Wowzers....

Surprise, the blog has a new look! We hope you like it as much as we do. Check back for more updates coming soon...as soon as my eyes uncross from all of the html code I've been memorizing...

Under Construction

KMP is under construction. So you may see weird things until I get the hang of this. Who knew to be a good photographer I needed to understand html coding....

My Mail Rocked Today....

A very cute Easter T via Etsy for little man...

An adorable baby announcement with a KMP photo...

And a my first attempt at a custom printed album I'm using for a suprise!

My sides hurt by the time I got done photographing these friends. Seriously, we always laugh too much, no different taking pics. This just happens to be my little boys bff. They are 2 peas in a pod! It is always a joy to take pics, but when you can give such a close friend the gift of making time stand still, it is even sweeter.

Beautiful Baby Boy

What a beautiful baby boy! This family was lovely and so very nice to work with. What a beautiful family and very blessed new parents. I love it when you come away from a shoot with what you feel like are new friends.......

Boys and their toys...

This sweetie's mom and I photographed him about a month ago. We didn't get exactly what we were wanting, so when I stopped by their house the other day, we gave it another shot. I tell you what, give a boy a bulldozer and you can photograph him all day long. And boy, did we succeed. He turned into quite the little ham in front of the camera. Some of my favorite shots thus far. And the one of him and his mom, beautiful. His mama is a sweet friend and and absolute wonderful mama. You can tell how much she loves those boys! She truly is as beautiful on the inside as the outside. I was so very excited when I loaded these...sweet boy.....

Baby, Baby, Baby

This baby is not only my 3rd cousin, she smiles more than any baby I have ever seen. That makes my job a piece of cake! This was my second time to photograph her and each time I think she gets cuter than the last. I tell you what, every time I start editing and come across those pictures of daddy's and their little girls, I tear up.

Sass

These to dolls had more sass than my camera could hold! Seriously, when I got done shooting we had a total of about 600 images to work through. They were after my own heart big time. I love a girl with some personality who's not afraid to show it. They were a true joy!

Love.....

Well, this shoot was very exciting for me. One, because it was my first engaged couple to have the privilege of shooting. Two - because he is the son of one of my very dearest friends. They were fabulous to shoot, completely awesome! You can tell when two people are meant for one another, and they are. True happiness!

On the Move!

This baby boy is on the move! He turned 1 this week and gave me a run for my money getting his photo. But we sure did have fun! I can't believe he is 1. Seems like I was just photographing his big bro when he was 2. Wow time flies! Wonderful boys and you know how I love boys.....

Sneak Peak of Beautiful Babies and Wonderful Red Heads

I loved every minute of this shoot. These girls and I are 2nd cousins and grew up playing together. So fun to now photograph their children. We had quite a chilly morning in my opinion, but probably a heat wave for these South Dakotians! I'll post more to come after the families have a chance to view them!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Well, I know most of you wonder where I have been. It’s been Christmas Card Palooza for the last few months and I had to withhold my posting so I wouldn’t ruin any of the Christmas Cards surprises. Oh how much fun we have had. Each family ( I am still with-holding a few so that Christmas presents will still be a surprise) was such a fun adventure for me. I’ve made some great new friends and enjoyed seeing some old ones. Look out in 2010 for many new things to come at Katie McCrary Photography. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
