I had a fabulous day with Sophie and Ian last week shooting their 2013 Model sessions.  These two had some hilarious banter back and forth over who will bring in the most referral appointments.  Let the competition begin…..

Applications are now being accepted for all area High Schools.   If you are interested in learning more about the perks and financial incentives models earn, email info@kellychandler.com for details.  Include a recent photo and a bio about the activities you participate in at your school and community and don’t forget to “like” Kelly Chandler Photography on Face Book.

Alli and I had lots of fun photographing this mini-model shoot to help promote her as one of my 2013 Eastlake models.

There are a few big milestones in life.  One of them is turning 13 and officially becoming a teenager.  Taking photos to mark the milestone was super fun with this crew.  Here are a few favorite photos from our session.

I loved that they were still able to be playful….despite their new teenage status.

I thought I’d take the first few weeks of the year off to refocus my life and catch up on all the things that were put on the back burner.  I ended up having a bunch of newborns and pregnancy shoots that I just didn’t want to push out into the end of the month……and that was a good thing as a few of the pregnancy shoots went into labor shortly after our sessions. 

Blogging certainly took the furthest backseat of them all.  I just couldn’t justify spending the time to blog when I had client photo deadlines.  So over the next few weeks, I’ll try to catch up on some of the most memorable and fun shoots that I did over the past few months.  I might not get a lot written, but I’ll try to at least get the photos up so you can see the joy that I was able to experience with the wonderful people I’m so privileged to photograph.

This beautiful little family was a delight to photograph.  If you ever question, “when is the right time to photograph a newborn”…remember these photos.  They are really tiny for such a short time and capturing the newborn stage in the first few weeks of life is ideal.

Most schools require yearbook photos to be in by the middle of October….early November at the latest.  If you haven’t already called me for your senior high school photos, now is the time.   Space is limited.

I’m behind on my blogging by months.  For those who check regularly, I’m sorry.  But this time of year, I’m lucky if I remember to breathe.  Weddings, senior photos, family portraits, sports photography and my incredibly busy family keep me hopping.  I promise I will catch up with photos from all the amazing events and clients that I’ve been privileged to photograph. 

 I did this shoot months ago and was amazed at the flexibility and grace of this ballerina.  I felt like I needed to go to a yoga class after we were finished shooting. 

 How do you bend over, stand on your tip-toes and balance long enough for me to take photos?  My jaw dropped when I saw her do this. 

 Well, maybe I should do that yoga class….and focus on remembering to breathe.
