I finished up holiday portrait season about two weeks ago – the blog has been silent more by choice than necessity since then. I found it extremely difficult to get into the holiday spirit this year – it was a portrait season full of illness, rain and an injury so I was already feeling overwhelmed and then the shooting in Newtown happened and it just kind of knocked my socks off – so hard to get excited about shopping and presents when there are 27 families in Newtown that have just buried their babies. My heart has just been so heavy since I heard the news.
I am participating in The Olivia Act – it was inspired by one of the victims of the Newtown shooting that had just had family portraits taken and it’s purpose is to provide photo memories to a family that may not otherwise be able to afford a portrait session. I am excepting nominations through Dec 31st – if you know a family that is deserving of this gift please email me at info@kapturedbykristenphotography.com with their name and contact info and a little about why you are nominating them – I will select a family on Jan 1st and they will be contacted to schedule their session. Please contact me with any questions and please keep the families of the victims in your prayers.
I do want to go back and post some of my holiday sessions – since I did just over 60 holiday sessions and minis they won’t all make the blog – especially since I’ll be back up and shooting in another week but I will do my best to get as many up as possible 🙂 I spent an afternoon with these two handsome brothers (and their parents) at the beach – you could tell they were close from their interaction with each other – here are a few of my favorites.
