a new look for kmphotography!

i'm sure you've noticed some change taking place on the blog here. i've been experimenting with a few new looks trying to find which one is most "reflective" of the portraiture i'm creating.

i've finally found it

and i have to give a HUGE shout out to Kassie

of

for her

patience and amazing talent.  

she is truly the best!

thanks for your patience as i tweak a few things here and there. i'm hoping to soon showcase

the new products (which i think you'll fall in love with!) 

as well as some unique, fresh techniques with my portraiture.

if you'd be so kind...i'd love it if you would update/add a new KMPhotography button:

I have these sessions come along that touch my heart so deeply. 

Great grandma.  

Grandmas.  Daughters.  Great granddaughters.

Strong women of faith.

love.

integrity.

Separated geographically but not in heart.

It warms my heart to see people keep their family at such high priority.

This photo session has been on the books since 2010.

 It was an honor to capture their reunion.

The personalities, laughter.

 What fun.

Two sisters, each seeing their daughters raise a daughter.

"playing just like when our girls were babies" 
I heard one grandma sigh...

And great grandma 
is able to relish these moments
these giggles, tea parties, and delicate perfections

within three generations.

delights me to to capture it behind my lens.

Such fun personalities and relationships these women share.

Life truly is Art.

simple as that.
