100th session!

We are very close to having our 100th session.....the lucky session will receive a great surprise! Don't miss out on your chance--book your session!! :)

Delta School Update

Last week I spent Sunday-Thursday in Hot Springs for the Southwestern Professional Photographers seminar. It was the most intense 5 days ever!! I remember at one point I sent a simple text 'thanks' (and I'm a fast texter) after I sent it I was completely lost in class...It was that intense. I had to focus the entire time and I was learning something new every moment! It was an awesome experience! I chose to attend "Digital Don's" course on photoshop. There are 4 people in the USA that have his merits....4!! He is the know all when it comes to photoshop. I felt like a sponge wanting to soak up everything he had to say. I received numerous pages of information and I can't wait to put it all to use! Here is just a very very small sample of what we worked on.

*Disclaimer--these images were worked on and created by Kelly, however the photographs are copyright of Don Emmerich Photography.

I am so thankful for the experience I had!!

Happy Birthday Miss AG!

Miss AG has been such a great little gal at each session! I can't believe she is 1! Her mommy is a great friend of mine and I have really enjoyed our session time!

Love the touch of color in this one. Her eyes are so beautiful.

To say Miss AG enjoyed her cake would be a MAJOR understatement!! She gobbled it up! She was covered in bright pink icing!

Thanks for spending your first year with us Miss AG!!

Delta School

I will be at Delta School for Professional Photographers from Sunday-Thursday of this week. I'm taking a great course taught by "Digital Don". I will have limited access to email. Please allow extra time for your orders if placed this week. Thanks!

Happy Birthday Mr. N!

I'm so glad Mr. N spent his birthday with us!! He was such a sweet little man!

Precious little boy.

Mr. N's mom heard about us from a friend and called to set up this appointment. When she walked in we both took a double take and realized we went to college together! She was at Harding when I was! It was such an unexpected surprise!

2008 Top 10 List

It's time for the annual top 10 list! This year was sooooooooo hard!! I had tons of pics to go through!

Disclaimer: The photos are judged upon color, lighting, exposure, uniqueness & personal preference. This is not a 'cutest kid' type contest--otherwise my son would be in every picture!! :)

Now, with that being said.....I hope you will enjoy Kelly's Photography 2008 top 10 list!!

Children, Miss S

Santa baby! Miss S came to visit right before Christmas. I know she was spoiled rotten with gifts!! I love her little eye peeking out and her happy expression!

Miss S is a little model. She poses and works with her hats! She is really fun to photograph.

Check out her long dark eyelashes.

Pretty little ballerina
