So its been about 5 months since my last post... you could say I have been a little busy. Having a newborn around the house sure does take up a lot of time! Im loving every sec with her and wish it would stop going so fast! Hopefully I can post some shots of her soon.... and hopefully you all havent given up on this blog yet!!! Facebook gets updated a lot more then the blog... its just a lot faster so if you are not already a fan.... click here! KO-PHOTOGRAPHY. I have so many fun sessions to share with you but how about we start off with a super cuddly newborn post shall we???

Brothers...I love it when the sibling pictures turn out as perfect as this...

They are usually the hardest shots to get, but not when you have two perfect boys like this! :) It seems like just yesterday I was shooting older brothers newborn pictures... crazy how fast time flys!!!

Im in love with these shots...

Thanks to the Andersons for making such cute babies!!!

2011-07-29T09:41:00.000-07:00

2011-07-21T08:45:00.000-07:00

Catch up post #2.... familythis was really hard for me to try and put all of these sessions into one post... there were so many more pictures I wanted to add!

2011-07-20T07:50:00.000-07:00

Okay, so this blog has really been neglected..... poor thing. I was working so hard to get caught up on my editing and then when i finally did all i wanted to do was enjoy summer with my kids. So we have been busy around here :) Now Im ready to fill you in on the past several sessions that I have done before this baby pops out! If you follow me on Facebook you may have seen some of these already but I thought i would share them here as well... enjoy!

just love his facial expression here, lol so cute!

these boys were the winners of the Snapshot contest.... I just love these boys :)

There are several more sessions that I will be sharing with you in another post.... so check back for more!

2011-06-07T11:15:00.000-07:00

Im soooooo behind on posting! I have so many sessions to share with you... but I had to hurry and get these up here. I had so much fun doing these Bridals/Groomals and the Bride found some really fun locations! After already rescheduling the session once because of the rain I thought for sure we were doomed when I showed up and it was hailing!!! luckily after about 10 min it stopped and the sun came out!!!

this old truck was perfect and was even the wedding colors green and orange! perfect!

2011-06-03T23:27:00.000-07:00

it took a couple of trys to get her in this basket... it is a tiny basket! good thing she was a tiny girl :)

she put her hand here all by herself.... so sweet.

2011-05-30T20:08:00.000-07:00

Meet the most amazing one month old ever...

Im so in love with these...

She was just so aware and alert and you could talk to her and it felt like she underestood every word you were saying... she just seemed so... wise. She loved my lights and would stare and smile at them :)

2011-05-26T21:03:00.000-07:00

Baby {J} .... 3 weeks old

2011-05-24T12:47:00.000-07:00

This little guy was born really early and was pretty much a miracle....
Im in love with his red hair

We did some with the helmet and some with out... pretty soon he wont have to wear it any more, HOORAY! although, he does look adorable in it :)

2011-05-16T20:03:00.000-07:00

I think the past 5 newborn sessions I have done have been girls... and I have several more scheduled and they are ALL GIRLS! Im loving it.... gets me excited for this little girl of mine that is on the way. Especially when they are as sweet as this...

love her little lips in this one :)

Such a beautiful family...

2011-05-14T18:08:00.000-07:00

This little guy was the second runner up for my Snapshot contest..... (you know the one with the little boy head first in the puddle of mud... thats a photo Ill never forget! :) Here is a little sneak peek at his mini session.
This little guy was full of personality and had big blue eyes and curly hair to go with it.... I just love his hair.

I just had to post this one.... this was the face he gave me at the begining of our session... LOL, he did not think I was funny at all, luckily his Mom had some pretty cool hair tricks that got him laughing.

2011-05-05T09:04:00.000-07:00

Colors of Summer.... dont you just loves these colors??? they remind me of summer..... My four year old daughter tells me evryday, "I wish it was summer" :) me too.

The Utah weather once again drove us indoors to shoot.... we tried, we really did but it was SO WINDY!!!! We searched inbetween every building trying to find spots that werent as windy and had no luck.. so finally we headed indoors of this adorable store Oopsie Daisy, where lucky for us they were super nice and we got some adorable shots.

There is a little (sometimes a lot) DIVA in every four year old girl, lol

One of the very few shots we got outside in the cold wind. Lucky for them they are out of this crazy Utah weather and back home in cozy Laguna Beach..... yes we are all jealose :)

Enter my "Snapshot" photo contest to win a FREE session! (Session must be scheduled in May or June of 2011 and is for a FREE studio session for up to two people, or HALF off a family session for up to 6 people) "A good snapshot stops a moment from running away" -Eudora Welty I have had an idea for a contest for a while now so Im so excited to finally do it! As most of you may know... I love photography, thats a given. BUT what I really love more are the photographs.... the actual pictures. I love a proffessional photograph taken under perfect lighting conditions with a super expensive proffessional camera, set with that perfect shutter speed, ISO, and aperture any day..... but really the pictures that I hold dear to my heart and that ultimately mean the most to me are not the proffesional photographs but the snapshots. Those everyday moments that mean so much that we quickly whip out a camera and with out much thought "snap" a photo to have that moment on film forever. I want to see your favorite snapshots... those pictures that you hold dear to your heart, that you would hate to lose. Those snapshots that tell a story, that evoke emotion. Send them to my email karinaorg@gmail.com and I will pick a few favorites that we will all vote on! You can send up to 4 images. To start things off I thought I would share a few of my favorite "snapshots"... A few random favorites... Have fun looking through your favorite snapshots and send them my way!

2011-03-29T14:41:00.000-07:00

the windiest day ever... brought us inside the Salt Lake Library... we had intentions set on several fun downtown locations but the wind was just too much! Inside was much better :) and Miss {S} would agree.. she was like a totally different person indoors! this poor little guys was not himself that day and not feeling well at all.. so he will be coming in for a studio session so that we can get some individuals of him... and I cant wait hes such a cutie!

2011-03-17T11:31:00.000-07:00

Chubby toes and dimples...

this little guy was so easy to photograph... he was so smiley and I could not get enough of those baby blues and dimples :)

and here are the dimples I loved so much...

love these...

2011-03-09T21:42:00.000-08:00

Couldnt ask for anything more... this little girl was a dream to photograph. She has a natural talent I tell ya! I will never get over all of the many faces of Miss {S}... and trust me there are many! Prepare to fall in love with all of them ;)

She is quite the little firecracker... I doubt there is ever a dull moment for Miss {S} and her parents! We did some shots of her in the same tutu from her newborn session....

come to think of it... she was quite the firecracker then too!!! Happy Birthday Miss {S}!!!! I had a blast!

2011-03-01T15:59:00.000-08:00

Meet Handsom {G}...
the cuddliest, sweetest little one year old ever ;)

oh gosh.... I just love this one

and this one is probably one of my favorites of all time... and maybe you had to be there to really appreciate it but you should have seen his face light up when he saw his bear! And then he just started hugging and squeezing and cuddling it like crazy. I couldnt stop laughing! Mom says that he does this all of the time which makes me love this photo even more... it totally captures their sweet relationship!

2011-02-24T19:34:00.000-08:00

Introducing baby brother {R}...

2011-02-22T20:36:00.000-08:00

I went out of town this weekend and now Im all behind on posting... so lets start with a few sneak peeks....

And... a family I shot a few weeks ago. This isnt a sneak peek but I had to share...

This handsome man is getting baptized soon so we had to do a few extra...

2011-02-14T21:01:00.000-08:00

2011-02-07T19:49:00.000-08:00

Happy Birthday Miss {M}!!

2011-02-01T07:51:00.000-08:00

Baby {C} is now...
1 Year Old!!!

Little {C} man was my first client in the studio and I was so excited! I loved every min of his funny facial expressions, scrunched up nose smiles, and of course thos baby blues!

2011-01-25T19:08:00.000-08:00

Im still here....

Its been a while... I have never gone this long with out a post! I have enojoyed some much needed time off over the holidays and have been taking it slow and easy these past few weeks due to the dreaded 1st trimester in which has left me feeling... well, uck. (Yes, Im expecting and I am so excited, and cant wait!) Good thing Im out of that stage and feeling better because I am ready to get back in the swing of things! One of the things we have been working on these past few months is getting my studio ready! Im super excited to start offering studio sessions and here are a few of the very first!! Stay tuned for much more to come soon!

2010-12-15T18:02:00.000-08:00

Two totally different posts :) my attempt at getting caught up on this blog!

Baby {A} at 2 mo.

At 2 mo. I wasnt sure we were going to get him to sleep for us but he did amazing!

Love those cheeks!

and Im a sucker for spit bubbles too ;)

a quick shot of the whole family!

A family shoot on a very cold day at Gardner Village....

a family of super models that is... look at those brown eyed beauties!!

These guys were such troopers and were pretty much frozen to the bone by this point but they stuck it out for a few more shots by this ivy wall.

2010-12-08T12:16:00.000-08:00

I am sooo behind on posting... I will get caught up one of these days :)

I was pretty excited when {A} asked me to do some extended family pictures for her... she is one of my favorite clients and I knew that her family had to be just as beautiful as her.... I just didnt expect them to be so stylish and fun too!

Mom spotted this fun little spot and Im so glad she did!

family fun

and sibling.... fun?

this one is too pretty not to share in color and black and white :)

did i mention stylish???

4 boys later... and she finally got what she really wanted.... a baby girl :)

but Im sure she really wouldnt have it any other way. I love this picture. I feel like she is the luckiest girl in the world in this picture... she is going to be spoiled. Im jealose :)

yes... those are teeth! She was born with two tiny teeth... more then likely they will have to be pulled but I thought they were adorable.

2010-11-15T22:11:00.000-08:00

Two quick posts before bed...

Oh how I wish the fall leaves would stay a little while longer... actually, to be honest if I could keep fall and just skip winter all together.... I would be very very happy :)

you already saw this one in color so I will share it in Black and White :)

I really had a hard time getting sweet {M} to smile for me... not even tickles would work, she would just look at me like I was the biggest weirdo....

Luckily this little lady was a total Daddys girl and he got the smiles out like no other :)

and I know its past Halloween... but I had to share these too...

Oh and check in tomorrow and I will have a sneak of 2010 Christmas Cards!

2010-11-04T23:41:00.000-07:00

Perfect Fall weather... Perfect fall colors...

In the Orchard.
I adore this family. They are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. Im so grateful to have them in my life.... and I was so excited to take their family pictures! {L} had some fun ideas with the orchard, so I was thrilled to try them out as I have been wanting to shoot in an orchard for a while now.
I will admit the lighting was a bit tricky... but then in some spots the lighting was beautiful..... like here...

or here....

and here.... :) {L} you are gorgeous

Im shocked that this picture isnt a huge blur because I was laughing so hard! When {A} looked up and saw Mommy and Daddy kissing, she reached over and grabbed her brothers face and give him the biggest smooch ever! So cute... I love it.

My Daughter idolizes {A} and will follow her anywhere.... and i dont blame her, she is quite the cutie. Here she is striking this little pose all on her own :)

We did some fun ones with the balloons and the kids...

and little {N} for her One Year pictures...

the top left picture cracks me up because it looks like those balloons are going to lift her right off the ground.. and really I wouldnt have been suprised she is the tiniest little thing!

2010-10-19T09:00:00.000-07:00

Mr. O...

has ten perfect toes

he looooved this chair... it was all he wanted to sit in, and you can forget about sitting in it backwards or even twisted slightly... there was only one way he wanted to sit in this chair and this was it :)

love this one... the expression on his face... so boy :)

but the super hero of this session was all M. We couldnt have gotten O to do anything until M did it first... so every shot started with M demonstarting to O how it was done... little M was not camera shy at all and knew exactly what he was doing :) Thank you M!

2010-10-03T19:40:00.000-07:00

I do this all of the time.....
I was the the pool with the kids and I look down and see this adorable little boy with these huge beautiful eyes looking up at me, and I think "oh how I would love to photograph that cutie!" I do this all of the time, at the grocery store or playground or where ever I might be, everywhere I look there are cuties that I would just love to take pictures of! Come to find out later that his Mom who I hadnt met yet had already booked a session with me! I was so excited, it was my lucky day :) and quite the coincidence that she was at the pool too!

you should have heard the cute truck noises he kept making...

There is something about this one that I just love... and I had to go vintage... there was just something about it :)

and of course we had to play in some cake too!

he was very serious when it came to eating cake, he would scrunch up his eye brows and make mmmm, mm, mmm noises... so cute

2010-09-29T22:19:00.000-07:00

{K} is an old friend from High School and luckily we found eachother on Facebook... honestly what would we do with out it??? I was so excited when she told me that she was looking for a photographer... Ive always thought {k} was so beautiful and now I think {k} and her two boys are beautiful.... they are little heartbreakers I tell ya...

Big brother is afraid of heights and so getting him to sit on the top of this truck was a little tricky, he is such a trooper and went along with it even though he was scared :)

2010-09-22T10:27:00.000-07:00

Meet Miss {M}...

she has the most glorious hair...

and amazing eye lashes!

and the sweetest smile.

Im pretty sure I will be having a few pics of Miss M hanging up in my studio... Im just not sure which ones yet!

In love with this one...

2010-09-21T09:21:00.001-07:00

coming soon....

2010-09-15T13:33:00.000-07:00

big blue eyes, dark brown hair and one hilarious big brother
We tried everything to get this little girly to sleep but she is very strong willed.... she just didnt want to :) Thats okay, because she has the most beautiful eyes ever...

I couldnt stop laughing at big brother... he thought that kissing his little sister was the most embarrassing thing and couldnt stop laughing at himself!

2010-09-12T19:52:00.000-07:00

The {R} Family...
This is one of my favorite families.... ever. on this earth :) It seems like just yesterday I was in their basement talking about boys with my best friend, eating entire stuffed crust pizzas (oh what I'd give to have that metabolism back) :) and watching; Say Anything, and Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, over and over again. This is the family of my best friend L. I met L in 6th grade and we became instant friends.... from then on we were connected at the hip, everywhere she went I went, everywhere I went she went... we went through everything together and I owe her a lot for who I am today.

siblings...

and if you are wondering who L is...

this is her...

by the way A.... you are not supposed to look this good two weeks after you have a baby :)
not fair

cousins...

you already saw this in one in color... so Ill show it to you in black and white..... er, or is it brown and cream???

pretty blues eyes and old red wagons....

I love sweet sleeping babies...

He was awake for a little while.... but he was soooo tired. He was the sweetest thing ever when we were trying to get him to smile and he was half asleep with his eyes half way open and he was still smiling... such a sweetie

these two had the best smiles ever!

2010-09-03T10:36:00.000-07:00

The {H} Family
What a priveledge it was to photograph this familiy.... Brother {H} was my seminary teacher in High School. He is amazing at what he does, and I really hope that my kids will have as amazing seminary teachers as I did! I had been hearing about his amazing family and amazing wife in my years of Seminary and I was ecstatic to finally meet them all! ....did I mention this family is amazing? lol

this ones a favorite, no doubt.

I loved this one in black in white too so i Had to share :) so gorgeous

Brother {H} is a funny man... I never heard the jokes he was telling because he was always wispering them to his wife.... but I know they were funny because she would always laugh, they just might be my favorite couple of the year :)

Meet {M} and {E}

I had mentioned the idea of going to the Salt Lake Library for their session and when I found out that she is studying to be a Librarian and he is studying to be a teacher, it was a MUST..... couldnt be more perfect!

their first kiss was on a park bench.... ( I went a little crazy with the textures on these, but I couldnt help it.... texture makes everything look so... Romantic)

this one might be my favorite :)

I actually did a session with this family last year... a super fun urban shoot that I never got around to posting.... so of course Im going to share it with you now! Its crazy the difference I can see in my photos just from one year ago!

Mom and Dad... how cute are they???

We took a couple of shots in this parking garage and almost got locked in!! It was quite the adventure.

That baseball is in just about every picture.. he would not put it down! haha, gotta love it!

Happy Birthday *P* AND *A* !!!
These two brothers share Birthdays in Aug, so we did a fun Birthday session with both of them.

*A*....this is one of my Daughters Best friends, and quite possibly her future husband ;)

*P*

boys and their trains...

these are the best... melt your heart and make you laugh all at the same time :)

had to share this one in black and white too...

We also had some Birthday Cake fun as well...

I have never had a baby be so disinterested in Birthday Cake before.... he just kept crawling away and we just kept putting him back, it was this struggle and not the fact that he was enjoying playing in it that he looks so messy, lol. Even frosting in the mouth didn't entice him enough to stay put :)

and then the tears came... apparently cake in the toes is not a comfortable feeling.

but we did manage to get a few smiles out of him.

you can still see the tears in this one...

Christmas Morning!
Its no wonder that Alyssa is one of my favorite clients when she tells me that getting her pictures done with me is like "Christmas morning"... gotta love it :) I absolutely loved this session...

check out these two studs...

of course Im going to share this one again.... one of my favs of all time! Oh and if you are wondering where you can get your hands on one of those adorable flower clips that Alyssa is wearing check them out here at Simplicity Boutique... she has some super adorable flower hair clips for little girls and babies, adorable leg warmers and some awesome gift sets too!!

and what would a Summer session be with out a "lay in the grass shot? " It really is my favorite backdrop of all time :)

2010-07-08T07:21:00.000-07:00

You can just tell...
that this family has so much fun together!

How could you not with 4 brothers! I will admit, I am a little jealose... I would love to have 4 brothers :)

I can not resist a little crinkled nose smile! So sweet.

Nor can I resist two big brown eyes ;)

Did I mention fun???? :)

I already posted this one in color for my Wordless Wednesday but I had to share it in black and white too. Its so, "Secret Garden" dont you think?

Sneak peeks for Alyssa and Kristie :)

2010-06-22T08:13:00.000-07:00

why so serious???
I quacked, oinked, jumped, and made goofy faces you wouldnt belive.... but the little man was determined not to smile. Good thing his serious look is just as cute as his smile! Dont worry we did get a few of him smiling too :)

loved this one... its so Summer, so Boy, so natural :)

another fav...

Brothers...

not quite so wordless wednesday...

I didnt have much in mind for todays wordless wednesday and so i thought Id just take a look at what I had for June 16th 2009. I was so exctied to find these pics from a photography workshop that I did with Marissa Vargason. This picture made me laugh with the little wasp right there.... right in my line of focus too.... and I didnt even know he was there until today :)

2010-06-15T13:43:00.000-07:00

iheartfaces photo challenge "All Things Babies"
I was so excited to see the theme for this weeks challenge because babies are definitely one of my favorite subjects to photograph..... okay maybe they are my favorite :) But then I had the hardest time picking one to enter..... then when I read that we could enter photos of babies still in Mom's tummy, this photo immediatly came to my mind.... I love the feeling of this photo, the way big Brother is clinging to his Moms belly, the peaceful look on Moms face, the light.... this picture almost makes me want to be pregnant.... almost ;)

2010-06-12T10:26:00.000-07:00

These are going to be a Fathers Day gift, and it made it that much more fun to do them knowing that they are going to be a surprise! Look at these two beautiful girls!!!

so so sweet...

I was making a complete fool of myself trying to get this little one to laugh, while it didnt seem to do much for her as hard as I tried, her Mom thought I was hilarious! :P

How could you not....???
just fall instantly in love with this cutie??? He has the cutest smile and he is such a sweetie!!! I think he had a pretty good time during this photo session, between this bridge and the tires, he was a happy boy!!!

I love playing with textures but its been a while since I had really done much with them, but this picture was just asking for it, and I just had to....

a little Pepsi Cola refreshment...
I was so excited that this cute family agreed to this location, it was so much fun! I was even more thrilled when the Dad spotted these old Pepsi bottles and wanted a few shots with them, such a fun idea! Definitely some of my all time favorites!

( so emails will not be answered until then :) Since I will be gone, Im doing my Wordless Wednesday early, and Im hoping that by the time I do get back maybe the weather here in Utah will be a little more "me" friendly :)

2010-05-03T09:46:00.000-07:00

SWEET.

Doesnt get any sweeter then that! Love taking pictures of {P}, she is so full of life... what two year old isnt right???

I loved this picture... it looks like she is trying to look inside the camera to see how it works or something :)

green grass makes me smile :)

She was so funny trying to blow on this Dandylion... she kept blowing so hard and sticking her bottom lip out so all of the air would just go right back into her face and her bangs would go flying up in the air.... too cute.

I took some pictures last year on little {P} and her adorable family.... I cant believe how much she has grown! I couldnt remember if I ever got around to posting these or not so Im doing it now.... and if I already posted them then you get to see them again!

definitely my fav...

this little slugger is turning one!
This little guy was so cute with his little tongue that would always poke out when he was concetrating on that bat, and he definetely seemed pretty comfortable handling his little bat and throwing the balls around already!

he woke up really early that day and so he was pretty tired towards the end and all we could get out of him was this little pout. Cutest pout I've ever seen :)

just for Fun, and totally and completely random....

OZ.
So this is probably so strange that I am posting this now.... in April. I wanted to post these back in October but October was the busiest month for the whole year of 2009 and I just didnt have time.... Im now trying to get caught up on my personal blog and so I was going through these..... thought I would share some of them with you!

I really wanted to find an amazing location for some fun wizard of oz pics with the kiddos... but time just didnt allow and and so there we were... in the front yard.... Mid October and every one staring :)

Have you ever seen a sweeter Dorothy in your entire life????

I just love the expression on his face in this one... as if he's telling me " okay Mom, I will sit here for .5 sec while you take a picture... just because I love you" and then that .5 sec was over and he was gone and on the move!

wordless wednesday.

2010-03-26T13:20:00.000-07:00

One year ago...
I did a session with these two amazing boys. And now, baby {R} is turning ONE!

there is something about this one in black and white that I loved... so I had to share...
These two have the most vibrant personalities, I love every minute of it.

Here is what he really thought of us trying to get him to pose in this chair.... love it! lol
this is definitely one of my favorite lolli pop pictures ever!

the lolli pops were quite large and little too heavy for little {R} to handle... he got quite frustrated with it. Breaking off a smaller piece worked much better.

Happy Birthday {R}!

Looks like a Princess... snorts like a piglet

no really... you should have heard it, when she would start to cry she would make little snort sounds... it was the cutest thing I had ever heard!
look at that sweet face!
This is the only picture I got of her sleeping... she did not want to sleep, but I didnt mind because she made the cutest little expressions...
she was SO alert, and aware of everything.... wise beyond her years :)
she had super looong feet, and toes that could curl like no other.

you should have seen the way she would stare at her Daddy...
