This morning I took some images of Andrew at his house. He turned one just a month ago. He & I had a lot of fun with the ball game. Thanks to his mom & dad who asked me to come out and take the pictures!
Here are a few I loved from the shoot.

Awards!
I was so excited to check my email this morning and see a note from Wedding Wire...a wedding planning website associated with Martha Stewart Weddings. Minister Images Photography was named a winner in the 2009 Bride's Choice Awards!
In its inaugural year, the Bride’s Choice Awards recognizes and honors vendors from the WeddingWire Network that demonstrate excellent quality of service, responsiveness, professionalism, value of cost and flexibility.
This year’s recipients represent the top three percent of WeddingWire’s vendor community, which includes over 100,000 wedding vendors from across the US. That means Minister Images Photography is one of the very best Wedding Photographers.
Unlike other awards in which winners are selected by the company, the Bride’s Choice Awards are determined exclusively by recent newlyweds through surveys and reviews. “We are excited to launch this annual award program to honor high-performing vendors based solely on the experiences of our WeddingWire community,” according to Timothy Chi, WeddingWire’s Chief Executive Officer. “This year’s recipients have set the bar high, exhibiting excellent service and expertise in the wedding industry.”
Thank you so much to my past clients. I truly feel honored.

FORE!
I guess I should say FOUR! I spent Saturday morning with Gracie taking some 4 year old birthday portraits. Gracie used to be our neighber and is my son George's betrothed (ha), but but also a great little model!



We had a ball at the Franklin Park Conservatory even though we had to brave the cold to get there.
Here are my favorites.

Portrait session #1 of the new year
This morning I spent some time with Carter (and his mom & dad) to take images commemorating his 3rd birthday! We had some fun, particularly with the marbles.
I am booking portrait sessions with a new addition of a digital package, $175 for the session that includes 15 edited and color corrected images on a disk for you to print, keep, upload to Facebook...you get the idea.
My basic package remains $150 for the session including a $50 print credit - prints range from $4 to $20, best rates for professional quality prints that you'll see.

Life is good
I am having a busy couple of weeks. Since the bridal show, I've been meeting with brides and grooms and making wedding bookings for 2009. Thanks to those of you who've signed on...it's going to be a great year!

What's more, I'm taking the time to keep learning in a photography class. It's so important to get feedback and learn more tricks of the trade. And fun too...here's a photo from my latest project. Isn't it great to have kids for subjects?

Sign up to follow my blog, read my reviews on Martha Stewart Weddings or call me to schedule a consultation about wedding or family portraits.
And stay warm!

Happy holidays
As I prepare to host my family for our Christmas eve dinner, I wanted to take a minute to reflect on how amazing this year has been for me. I decided to take initiative in my business and it paid off. Thank you to all of the wonderful people who hired me to document their weddings or their families.




How fortunate are we when our passion and our work collides? I know it's rare and I am blessed to have the opportunity to spend some of my days behind my camera.
What's more, I have amazing family & friends who probably will never know exactly how much they mean to me.
Take a minute this holiday season to remind yourself of the blessings you have.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! See you in 2009.
Don't forget to visit my booth at Columbus Bride, The Show on January 3 and 4 at Veterns Memorial. My dear friends, Ginger, Kara and Ashlee will be there representing Minister Images Photography while I am at a wedding in Phoenix, AZ. Email me if you need a discounted entrance ticket. I'll drop it in the mail before I leave! katie(at)ministerimages(dot)com.

Best wishes to you both and thank you for thinking of me to photograph this special day!
Enjoy the preview.

Christmas already??

I heard Christmas music on the radio the other day and realized that several weeks have slipped right by!
I have been busy! Second shot another wedding with a friend, learned a lot from him. Thanks, Brian.
Booked several weddings for 2009 and one last minute November one. Set up several portrait sessions and advertising opportunities...
And finally finished the family portrait. HA!
Keep coming back, more blog updates this week!

"Family Portrait" session
Yesterday I had so much fun with Eric and his roomates. We spent an hour or so taking portaits of them to re-enact the Death Row family portrait from the early 90's. I haven't had a chance to photoshop it all together yet, but here's a preview...




Really I couldn't stop laughing the whole time! Thanks guys for a fun Saturday aftenoon.

Contact me if you're interested in holiday portaits, I'm considering one Saturday, no sitting fee, mini portrait studio with holiday decorations set up in my home. If I can get 5 families, it's a go for November 15!
