Brothers and Sisters-Calloway

Sometimes as a photographer you take a portrait that makes your heart sing.  Maybe it isn’t technically perfect, and maybe your peers would find fault in it.  But you as the photographer who was there in the moment and was able to push the shutter, you fall in love with the emotion of the image.  Here is one of those images, let me tell you why I love it.

Brogan is a spit fire, I adore her.   Kade is a gentle soul, sweet to the core.  I am sure they love each other but as brother and sister don’t show it.  I am sure when Kade goes off to college Brogan’s heart will miss him.  I am speaking from experience.  To me this image captures a fun moment in time, when they are young, and more than likely throw punches more often than kisses.  It makes me think of the times to come and the times that have gone by.  It makes my heart sing with love for my brother. 

So here is the image.  The image that captures a little bit of who they are.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed taking it.

I will post more from their session soon, but have to run out the door to my next session.

Let’s talk about me me me me!!!

Hi friends,

Honestly, I don’t know what to say.  But I want to tell everyone that I have been over the moon busy.  It is taking me longer then I wish to get proofs and orders out.  SORRY!!!! 

My crazy life consists of diapers, pacifiers, lambs, goats, dogs, boys, one girl, many men, computers, phones, a new car, husband, dinner, trips to town, a full time job, a boss, etc.  Sometimes I get so busy that I lose track of time and before I know it weeks have gone by. 

My photography business has grown by leaps and bounds, which is awesome.  But I have to tell you I am experiencing some growing pains, so please bare with me.  I promise I am working hard.  Each and everyone of you is important to me and I want your photos to be perfect.  I am so happy to get to do something I love and I promise I will continue to work hard for you.  I LOVE THIS BUSINESS.  Sometimes I wonder why I am so blessed.  Because truly I am blessed to have something I love to do.   Creative outlets are so important.

Anyway.  Thanks for talking about ME!!!  Now lets get busy and take pictures of YOU!!! 

Love,

Kita

PS…I love the growing pains, it makes me feel like I am on the right track.

A new chapter.

We just finished another chapter in our crazy life. As I sit here today I have to look back on the last couple of months and think about how great God is.

Chad lost his job on May 13, our anniversary. It was a scary time, but some amazing things happened during this time.

Chad became Mr. Mom and was able to spend the summer with the boys. They grew closer and closer everyday. I came home to a clean house and home cooked meals. WOW!!! It is so nice to have a hubby who is willing to roll up his sleeves and clean the toilet, umm I mean bathroom. Chad has a new respect for women and what it takes to make a house run.

I was able through photography and my job to become the main breadwinner. Let me tell you homestayers, it is stressful to be responsible for your familes income. I had a few days when I didn’t think I could do it anymore. I found the strength and pushed on.

Chad started a new job today and it is bittersweet. It will be really nice to have his paycheck back, but I am going to miss warm chocolate chip cookies brought to me at work and his cute bottum in Wranglers bent over loading the dishwasher. Although knowing him he will still help out around the house.

Photography is going to continue in my life because I LOVE IT!!! I am planning on staying just as busy and will be able to put more into training and equipment. YEAH

I love you all and thanks for sticking by us during the crazy time.

Love,

Kita

Tancee-Silver City High School Senior

Tancee is one of my favorite teenagers.  So much that I named my daugter after her.  We did this shoot at her house.  Photography in your natural environment is always so special.  Tancee’s mom made us the best cookies with icecream.  I think I need to make that a requirement at all sessions from now on.  Yummo!!!!!
