Monticello photographer, Buffalo photographer bio picture
  • Welcome! My name is Kelly, and I'm a modern portrait photographer located 45 minutes NW of Minneapolis. I hate to brag, but I might have the best job in the world (obviously, Ben & Jerry's taste-testers will win that award all day long). But still, photography is a close second. Here are a few JOB HIGHLIGHTS: **I get my newborn fix…hold the baby…love the baby…give the baby back. **Making insecure women (all of us, right?) feel comfortable and look amazing. **Talking to high school seniors like I’m still seventeen…then I go and blow the 'cool factor' when I pull up in my mini-van with 3 car-seats. **Impressing frazzled parents by capturing cute (and ‘in focus’) pictures of their crazy 2 year old…who knew working at Proex years ago would give me such a nice skill set? **Writing on my blog…since I work from home, I have no co-workers…sigh, no one to share my random, inane and often obnoxious thoughts with on a regular basis. And so I come here, to the blog, and let everything hang out…you’ve been warned.

And the winner is….Monticello, MN camera mom workshop

The holiday rush is almost over…then I can start my own holiday prep.  Lots of orders going out today, and just a few more orders to place…one last session, and it’s done until 2013.  I went to target today and bought all new baking supplies (fresh flour, sugar, etc.)…I haven’t baked since last December, and I can’t imagine that stuff is still good sitting in my cupboard.   I’m taking a day off from the giveaways, and I’ll be back tomorrow with a new one…three more days of good stuff coming your way.

The winner of the camera mom workshop is:  Commenter #43 Laura S. with her comment, “I so need this!!! I’m keeping my fingers crossed!!!”  Thanks for entering Laura~I’m happy you won!

Sounds like a lot of people were really interested in taking this workshop~I plan on hosting 2 different classes this winter/spring…so a reminder to join the newsletter (on your right) so you are the first to know when registration opens.

 

I’m hosting my first official ‘Staff Holiday Party’ tonight @ Crave!  I have to go straighten my hair and put on some fancy shoes…cuz Amie and Sarah are hot…and their casual attire looks like my dress wear.  Surrounding myself with good people…ahhh, it’s been a great year!

I feel like I should throw a picture up here…you’re all probably bored to tears.

I love a good princess picture…thanks for sending the sweet crown~handcrafted crowns

8 days of giveaways | day 4 | monticello, mn photography workshop

Time to announce the winner of the high school ‘forever friends’ session…drumroll please………..Congrats to commenter #10 Dani with her comment, “EEEEEP :) This would be so much fun!! It should be called “For Keepsake” because that way you will have a little friend photo sesh to keep with you as a momento for when you move apart to college.”  Allright Dani~you and your peeps start planning~I’m looking forward to it!

 

And now…on to today’s giveaway!!

 

HERE IS ALL THE INFO YOU NEED:

 

I had a tough time coming up with a catchy name for this workshop…my first couple of drafts didn’t make the cut:

*Mom’s who shoot their kids

*Make that camera your b*!&h

*Take a picture, it will last longer

*A is for ‘awesome’ not ‘auto’

Finally, I just thought I’d keep it simple…CameraMom….kind of like SoccerMom, but with camera’s and stuff….mini van optional.

So, it’s decided.  You.  Need.  Help.  CameraMom workshop DETAILS:

WHEN: Saturday, February 16th from 10am to 2pm

WHERE:  My studio located in between buffalo and monticello, mn

Please Note:  This class will not be covering any information on starting a photography business, advanced photography skills or photoshop techniques; but rather is focused on the every day photos you take, and the basic concepts of using your camera off of auto-mode.  If you’re looking for education on taking your photography to the next level, this class is not for you.

WHAT’S INCLUDED:

* A 60+ page full color workbook for you to take home, covering all the lessons taught, so that you can continue to practice and refine your skills at home.

* Lunch!  What’s a girls day out without food and chocolate?

* Prizes and a swag bag of goodies:)

* A child model during the last hour of class to practice the new concepts you’ve learned.

* A private facebook group to stay connected and help each other learn after the class is over.

WHAT’S REQUIRED:

* a DSLR camera  (this is a digital camera that allows you to switch lenses).   Here’s a general list of popular DSLR camera’s:

nice~Canon Digital Rebel T3, Canon Digital Rebel T2i, Nikon D3000, Nikon D5100 ($500-$650 with kit lens)

nicer~Canon Digital Rebel T3i, Canon 60D , Nikon D90 ($780-$980 body only)

nicest~Canon Canon 7D, Canon 5D MarkII, Nikon D300, Nikon D7000, Nikon D700 ($1500-$2500 body only)

* Kit Lens that comes with your camera.  If you really want to step up your game, consider purchasing a 50mm 1.8 lens via Amazon for CANON or NIKON. This is not required, but I think you will really love how your pictures look when using it!  Cost is just over $100 for this type of lens.

* You must bring your manual!

* Bring a pen/notebook in case I say something earth shattering and you want to write it down;)

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

The cost the workshop is $159+tax, due when you register (this is the only way to officially reserve your seat).  I am limiting the class to 10 people, so that we have time for a little one-on-one instruction.

WHAT WILL I LEARN?

* Learn how to get your camera off ‘auto mode’ by understand the exposure triangle (ISO, Shutter speed, Aperture).

* Learn how to utilize natural light and turn your flash off!

* Tips on getting natural and candid photograph’s of your children.

* Understanding composition and how it effects the feel of your picture.

* You will then put your new knowledge to use with a little photo shoot!  If it’s above 25 degrees, we’ll take our camera’s outside for a bit too!

HOW DO I SIGN UP?

**Registration will be open after the New Year.  I will be sending out a newsletter to announce when registration is open…then it will be announced on Facebook.  Classes fill up quickly, so if you want to know first, sign up for the newsletter!  It’s on the right hand side of this blog…go see!

fine print:  The workshop fee of $159 (+ tax) is due at time of registration and is non refundable.  However, you may sell your seat to someone else if you are unable to attend.  All attendees will be required to fill out a non-compete form.

 

HOW DO I ENTER TO WIN?

 

Just leave a comment below!  Comments accepted until 10pm central time tonight.  One comment per person, thankyouverymuch.

8 days of giveaways | DAY 5 | high school senior photography

Today is all about TEENS…so if you aren’t in high school…don’t enter.  Or if you DO enter…make sure you have some teenagers in your life…otherwise it’s just creepy.  To get an idea for what a ‘forever friends session’ could look like…check out this video.

 

 

What on earth is a ‘forever friends’ session, you ask?  Well, it’s new to my lineup, so I’m still working out the kinks…but I would love to offer teens a chance to do a portrait session with their very best friends.  I actually did this back in the 90′s with my BFF’s…pretty sure I was cool before my time….my clothing and hair, however, was decidedly not cool.

A forever friends session (I am *this close to either bursting into a Michael W. Smith song…or changing the name of this type of session) will include up to 5 teens, and will include the session time itself, as well as a mounted 8×10 print for each one of you.  There will be options to upgrade your ‘forever friends’ session (such as adding additional friends, options for ordering more prints and gift items, changing outfits, and adding video+slideshow).  I will be adding more details about these sessions on the senior website in the next month.

HOW DO I WIN?  Simply leave a comment in the comment section below…I would appreciate if your comment included an idea for what to name this session.  I will be using ‘random.org’ to generate a winner (ie: if I have 50 comments, the random generator will pick a random # between 1 and 50, and that commenter will win!).  Feel free to have friends and family leave comments on your behalf.  I must ask that you only leave one comment per person (let’s be fair peeps).  This is a drama free zone…so leave your baggage at the door (that probably didn’t even make sense…but I like it).

ACCEPTING COMMENTS UNTIL 10pm Central time SUNDAY NIGHT (I’m not working this weekend, so extra time to enter and win!)

Pick me, pick me!

Andrea R

Very cool idea. What’s wrong with Friends Forever…seems like a good name to me!

Brenna

I happen to have a copy of one of your “forever friends” photos in my high school scrapbook! : )

Molly Schumacher

I am writing this on behalf of my daughter Catrena. Now I know best friends are someone who has had your back for years, who loves you, just for you, someone to share your dreams with, and someone who will keep your deepest darkest secrets. It should be someone who you can count on, no matter what time of morning, day, or night it may be. I can say without a doubt in my mind, that Catrena’s very best friend in the world loves her as much as she loves Catrena. She is always there with an encouraging look, or a small kiss. She would never miss the chance to snuggle with her most favorite person in the world. However, I should note that her friend is not a person, but has four legs, is a little stinky, with the softest ears you have ever felt. She goes by the name of Slugger. There isn’t a day that goes by, that I don’t smile at the two of them, they are what friendship is all about. Everyone should be so lucky to have a friendship that will last long past the years spent together. Their friendship has no time limit, as the memory of this special kind of friendship is one that lasts the limits of time.

Jenny P.

Pick me, Pick me!!

Jonette Petterson

I love the “Forever Friends” name. We want to do this no matter if we win or not! I will waiting for more details next month.

Stephanie Van Beek

I would love to do this with my friends!

Jaidyn

These are honestly so cute! It would be so fun!

Dani

EEEEEP :) This would be so much fun!! It should be called “For Keepsake” because that way you will have a little friend photo sesh to keep with you as a momento for when you move apart to college.

Kenz

I love your work and I love that you’re doing this! I know my best friends Becca and Amy would love to do this. We’ve all been through a lot this year and we’d all cherish some precious “girlfriend” pictures for sure! Would love to work with you Kelly… I plan to have my senior pics done by you next year, too. :) XOXO!

Monica Maher

Emily Safar

I would LOVE a chance to have the opportunity to have a friend photo shoot done by you! My best friends and I have been friends forever we are more like sister and have grown up together! We know everything about eachother and I dont think we could get through High School without eachother! What better way to remember our High School memories then to have pictures! I know I can speak for all of us when I say we would all love the chance to have this done :)

Katelyn Kunde

This would be such a fun experience for me and my friends!! Winter Funderland :)

Sam Petterson

Winter Wonderland Senior Shoot | Monticello, MN high school senior photographer

And now….drumdrumdrumdrumdrumdrum….the winner…drumdrumdrumdrumdrum…of the Newborn Session + 25 birth announcement cards is…drumdrumdrumdrumdrumdrum:  Kate E. with her comment, “Kelly, I just LOVE your photos and would love to have you take pictures of our next one too!”  Yay for Kate~it will be wonderful to see you again~congrats on baby #2!

Putting the contest on ‘pause’ for one day.  I’m stretching these 8 days out into 2 weeks, k?  These next images should give you a hint as to what tomorrow’s giveaway will be!

Recently I had a fun idea to do a ‘winter/tree farm/stylized photo-shoot’ with some of my local high school senior girls…my goal was to use this images as a marketing piece between myself and a certain coffee shop in town (which shall remain nameless…as they completely ignored my calls/emails and visits to their fine establishment).  Not bitter at all.  No-sir-ee.  However, the shoot was already in the bag…and I LOVE how it all turned out.  My friend Angie shot some video clips during our session, and I put together a little slideshow…considering my lack of knowledge in the tech department, I think it turned out pretty darn sweet.

Did I mention these girls styled themselves?  I gave them a pinterest board of the colors/style I was after, and they nailed it!

8 days of giveaways | DAY 7 | Minneapolis, MN modern portrait photographer

DRUM ROLL PLEASE………..The winner of the Free Mini Session is……drumdrumdrumdrumdrumdrum:  Ann Ingle with her comment, “Pick me!! :)”  Congratulations Ann!!

Are you wondering what the next 7 days have in store?  I’m going to be mixing it up: more goodies from me, as well as some fabulous items from other vendors.  I’ll be personally giving away at least 2 other ‘big ticket’ items over the next 7 days~yeah buddy~so don’t give up hope if you didn’t win this round!

Welcome new peoples…you may want to become a facebook fan while you’re here!

And now  |  DAY 7

 

My talented sister in law/best friend Krista is an awesome digital scrapbooking designer…I am lucky enough to get all of her stuff for free (swap for pictures of her family every once in awhile!), and now you get a chance to shop there with $25 burning a hole in your pocket! *Photographers:  She has special professional use license’s for sale as well.*

SAHLIN STUDIO

SAHLIN STUDIO ON FACEBOOK

**even if you don’t win the $25 gift card…you can download a TON of freebies off of her site~go check it out!  Also, her FAQ section has links on how to learn about digital scrapbooking…once you go digital, you’ll never want to use real paper again~trust me!

HOW DO I WIN?  Simply leave a comment in the comment section below.  I will be using ‘random.org’ to generate a winner (ie: if I have 50 comments, the random generator will pick a random # between 1 and 50, and that commenter will win!).  Feel free to have friends and family leave comments on your behalf.  I must ask that you only leave one comment per person (let’s be fair peeps).  This is a drama free zone…so leave your baggage at the door (that probably didn’t even make sense…but I like it).

ACCEPTING COMMENTS UNTIL 10pm Central time TONIGHT.

Here is a sampling of some of  Sahlin Studio’s digital kits:

The crippling effects of writing an annual Christmas letter | St. Joseph, MN family photographer

Every year, I send my family & friends a Bah-Humbug letter with the top 10 tragic/stupid/embarrassing things that have happened to our family over the year (don’t judge…reading about people’s failure is way more entertaining than the positive droll…you know it’s true).  Over the years we’ve had some good stories…injury, illness and crime all written with a touch of whimsy.  But this year I’m stuck…here’s what my Christmas Letter looks like so far:

Bah Humbug List 2012

10. cricket. cricket. cricket.

9. Oooh, something shiny.

8. Maybe I should make some tea.

7. Okay, Kelly…think…think…think.

6. Maybe I should turn on some Christmas music.

5. Oh crap, they’re playing that Christmas ‘shoe’ song…must. not. cry.

4. What year are we on?

3. I love lamp.

2. Allright, one more check on facebook, then back to work.

1. Even if my family wasn’t directly affected…could I write about the on again off again drama of Kristin Stewart & Rob Patterson?

 

So, as you can see…the knowledge that I HAVE to have something entertaining written and in the mail by the end of tomorrow has given me a touch of writers block.  The letter may not happen this year.  Sorry Grandma.

Since we’re supposed to get a big snow storm tonight, I thought it would be fun to go back to summer…remember what summer looked like?  Check out this sweet family, their mama works with me every Tuesday, and we spend hours distracting each other from getting anything done!  Well, she works, and I play glee songs on Pandora for her…all about teamwork!

FYI~I did several shoots at a Marina this summer~and I get emails all the time from photogs asking where I was…the fact is, it’s a private marina, and I got special permission to use it…and that’s all I’m gonna say~sorry!!  Sometimes a girl has to have a few secrets.
