Tamara & Daniel’s Maternity Session / December 15, 2023 by KlixAdmin

In this blog we wanted to show some of our favorite pictures from Tamara and Daniel’s maternity session! These sessions are always so much fun- even though the mamas are about to pop! There’s so much excitement, nervousness, anxious waiting, and a million other emotions circling throughout pregnancy, so it’s really nice to take a moment and just appreciate the season that you’re in through a photo session, and it’s amazing to be the one to capture it!

We like to recommend that you’re around 28-36 weeks pregnant to do a maternity session. This way your bump is pretty prominent, but you’re still comfortable moving around and also not pushing it too close to your due date! We obviously tell our clients to wear whatever they feel most comfortable and confident in, but we also like to add that a nice touch is to wear the color of the gender of your baby- or if you don’t know it, wear the color that you think the gender might be! This can add another special element to your photos to look back on if you wish!

This Year’s November Family Sessions! / December 2, 2023 by KlixAdmin

Every year in November I host family sessions for the holidays! These are always so much fun- often seeing the same families and how much they’re growing each year! Meeting new faces and getting to know them and their sweet families is also a huge reason why I do this. It’s so fun to see their personalities come through these photo sessions.

These photos are perfect to hang up on your room and physically see your kids and your family grow and grow each year. I also love doing it in November because not only is it around the holidays, but also the background is beautiful this time of year. Everything about these photo sessions is so much fun, and in this blog I wanted to show some of the beautiful faces I got to capture this year!

Why Newborn Photos Are A Must / November 21, 2023 by Kelli Conley

In this blog we’re going to be focusing on sweet baby Spencer and why newborn photos are so beyond cherished (I mean it can go without saying, but oh well!)

Giving birth is one of the most painful, hard, traumatic, and exhausting times, but it is also one of the most emotional, empowering, happy, and rewarding times. You have to get through all of the hard parts to celebrate the joy and love that is your new baby! Why not capture that joy and love in a photoshoot to look back on forever, and remember and be proud and empowered of the hardships you had to go through to bring this beautiful child into the world.

Even though the newborn phase seems like it’s going to last forever, trust me when I say it goes in a blink of en eye and next thing you know your newborn isn’t such a newborn anymore! These photos capture the little parts of your baby that might ago away with time, like the way their little hands are clenched, or the color of their hair. These photos can keep these fleeting details saved forever, so you never forget.

These photos also capture you and your partner as you are transitioning into this new and slightly scary but super amazing stage in life! They serve as a time capsule for not only your tiny little baby, but also for Mom and Dad as well, and that’s really special.

Newborn photo sessions are so precious to everyone involved, and we love capturing them. These are all wonderful reasons to us why newborn photos are a must do!

Noelle & Jeffrey- Engagement Photos to Pregnancy Reveal! / November 14, 2023 by KlixAdmin

It all started back in May of 2021 when I met Noelle and Jeffrey for their engagement photos, capturing such an exciting season of life for them! Little did we know that here we are in 2023, capturing and celebrating yet another special and exciting season of life together!

I am so honored when my couples repeatedly choose me to capture these huge moments in their lifetime. This is what being a photographer is all about- creating connections and relationships through photography that last!

Photography for me doesn’t stop at engagement photos and then the wedding. I am also along for the ride of wherever life takes my clients! That can be pregnancy reveals, maternity sessions, newborn photos, or even boudoir! (Yes I do that too in case you didn’t know!)

Congratulations again to Jeffrey & Noelle! Thank you for repeatedly choosing me and believing in me to capture your big life moments. Can’t wait for baby girl Nguyen coming in March!

Engagement Photos & Why They’re Important / November 10, 2023 by Kelli Conley

Congratulations! You’ve gotten engaged and now you’re starting your wedding planning process. One of the vendors you choose to book is your wedding photographer. Some might say your photographer is one of the biggest choices you make along this wedding planning journey. They are there to capture all of the important moments of the biggest day of your life, so they will be right there with you as you’re tying the knot. It’s key to choose a photographer that you feel comfortable with and actually like, as well as basing who you choose off of their photography style.

Let’s say you’ve met/chatted with a few different photographers, either via Zoom or face-to-face, and you found one that you think is perfect for your wedding, so you book them! This is where engagement photos are key. Some photographers even include an engagement session in their packages because they’re this important. These sessions let the couple and the photographer get to know each other in a more relaxed setting. The photographers get to feel out what their clients are comfortable with, and the couple gets to see what the photographer is like in this setting before the chaos and emotions of their big day.

More often than not, it is usually the bride who makes contact with the photographer, and can be just her when meeting with them. The groom may never have met the photographer before the wedding unless you have an engagement session. This way, by the time the wedding day rolls around, you, your photographer, and your fiancé will already be comfortable around each other, and it just adds to the ease of the day!

Besides, we’re all for having another set of photos to commemorate this season of life that you’re in! It’s so exciting for the both of you, and having an engagement session captures these emotions for you to look back on forever!

Engagement sessions also gives you a chance to be more personal in your photos. You can choose to have them done doing something that is special to you and your fiancé, or in a place that is significant to you two. We also love when our couples bring along their fur babies as well! The options are really endless!
