Card Templates

I have had a bit of a break in between sessions lately. I used the opportunity to start working on my 2009 Holiday card designs. This first set is for a 5x7 double-sided card. If you are interested in purchasing the template, I will sell it for $5. If you are wanting to purchase a box of cards, email me for prices. I am able to change the colors if needed. You can contact me at: info@frozenmomentsbykelly.com

The first set is more elegant/traditional.

The next two are more on the fun/funky side.

Furry Friends {Columbus, NE Pet Photographer}

I spent Saturday afternoon at Paws & Claws Adoption Center voluteering my services for an upcoming fundraising campaign that they are doing. They were in need of some pictures for adoption flyers that they will be putting up, which means I was able to try my hand at pet photography. This was a new challenge for me, but something that I found very rewarding. If I had the space, more than one of these animals would be coming home with me. If you see someone you would like to provide a home for, or would like to make a donation to the shelter, visit http://www.pawsandclawsne.org/

They have dogs of all sizes,

Cats of all ages,

And even a ferret.

Sneak Peek {Columbus, NE Newborn Photographer}

I was lucky enough to have this sweet baby girl come to me for a newborn session. She is 3 weeks old, and very strong and alert for such a tiny little girl. In between milk breaks, Miss Diva allowed me to try out some new props, and I am quite happy with the results. I think I am starting to get spoiled though, because I have the best clients in the world.

This adorable family in for a quick family session today. They were so easy to work with, and made my job a breeze. Thanks guys!

The Adventure

Life has been busy at my house these days. School days, soccer games, birthday parties, work, homework, photography sessions, editing....Before I know it another day, week, month has passed. My baby is turning into a toddler, my toddler into a big kid, and my little girl into a school kid. It's so easy to get caught up in the every day routine of it all, and miss out on the beautiful little moments that I used to be so good at seeing.

Having kids has taught me a whole new way of seeing the world. Even the simplest objects can be full of wonder and mystery. A small grove of trees can provide a grand adventure. Rocks, sticks and bugs become the greatest treasures.

Becoming a photographer has also changed my views. The world is certainly more beautiful when looked upon through the viewfinder. You learn to find the beauty in everything. The lone barn in the middle of the pasture, the abandoned building you drive past daily. You notice the way the fading fall sunset lights up the tall grass.

It was this way of seeing that I had been missing, and so we set out on an adventure. With my camera slung around my neck, kids in tow, and my mom along for assistance, we started to explore.

There were fields to walk through,

gates to climb,

and places to stop and rest along the way.

We found lots of bugs,

and logs for climbing.

We were all a little sad for the day to end,

but overall, it was a grand adventure.

Sneak Peek {Silver Creek, NE Senior Photographer}

I am a day late on my sneak peek this time. My computer revolted after the busy weekend I had, so I apologize. I took the short drive to Silver Creek yesterday to meet up with this senior at his family's acreage. There were all sorts of neat places to discover, and Jason did a great job helping me find the perfect locations. I hope you enjoy your pictures, and I should have your gallery completed by the end of the week.

I had the pleasure of spending the afternoon with tiny Miss A and her parents today. This little sweetie was 3 weeks old already and had her own agenda. She didn't like most of my plans so we just went with the flow. I am pleased with the way things turned out, and hope you are too!

Wide awake...

Slowly fallling asleep...

And out!
