I seriously can't wait, and I am not even the one getting married. I could just feel the love that they had for one another today. They were game for anything, I and I put that to the test.

Not the 26 mile one, but the three shoots in one day style! <br /><br />I had so much fun with three amazingly beautiful ladies. These are the tame shots. In the future there will be a spin off blog for posts like these, and until then I will keep it rated PG over here, :). <br /><br />So here is your sneak peak. I am having so much fun editing these, and the more I look at them I am amazed by the beauty of each of the, and the beauty of each and every woman.

You read that right, FREE! I am in need of newborns. All of my newborn clients have fallen though some how and I am dying, I repeat DYING to photograph a newborn. And by newborn I mean very newly born. Like 10 days old or younger at the time of the shoot. <br /><br />So do you know someone who is literally days from having a baby, or just had one yesterday or maybe 2-3 days ago. Do you think they would want a free photo shoot in their home or mine? We will work out the details of what it includes when you contact me but you can be assured that they will be rewarded handsomely for letting me get some precious shots of their little one. <br /><br />And just in case you were wondering here is my normal pricing for a session. <br /><br />Session Fee: $150 (includes a $75 print credit)<br /><br />This is the standard on location session fee and includes the<br />time and talent of the photographer, and a $75 print credit.<br />This expires one week after your gallery is hosted. Two weeks<br />after your session you will be presented with a link to your<br />session online with between 25-35 finished images. There is a<br />non-refundable $75 fee required to reserve the date due upon<br />booking.<br />This session is for one immediate family up to 5 people. Please<br />add $25 for each additional person.<br /><br /><br />And number two. <br /><br />We have 5 days remaining in our Giving is Awesome blog "contest" so get those nominations in soon. Here is a link to the original blog posting just in case you missed it. <a href="http://kristylynnphotography.blogspot.com/2008/12/do-you-know-someone-giving-is-awesome.html">Giving is Awesome Post</a><br /><br />So thanks, and here is a recent picture I took of my hottie husband.

His dad, two uncles, and aunt. It was such a fun day, even thought the circumstances surrounding the meet up were less than awesome. Max's Grandfather passed away about two weeks ago. The family was in Turlock to say goodbye and to spend some time with Grandma.<br /><br />Anyway here are the images from that day.

Well, I have the perfect answer for you. <br /><br />A custom elegant boudoir session for you and the beautiful (dare I say sexy!) images of you, for him. <br /><br />I am compiling a list of interested ladies for a weekend in January. I am going to rent a beautiful hotel room in the Walnut Creek area for the day. It is going to be just a lovely experience for you. The two potential dates are January 18 or 25, 2009.<br /><br />Here are the details. <br /><br />Your 1.5 hour session will include up to three wardrobe changes, all of your edited images on a CD, a 5x5 brag book album with all of your images and lots of little extras and surprises on the day of the marathon (a girl's gotta have secrets!). <br /><br />The cost for all of this is going to be $200. There will be an additional charge for parking. <br /><br />Send me an email, letting me know which day works best for you. The session times will be 9:00am, 10:30am, 12:00pm, 1:30pm, and 3:00pm (this 3:00pm session will be on both Saturday and Sunday). <br /><br />Wouldn't it just be a great girls day out, if you got a bunch of your girls together and made a day of it.

Giving is Awesome!: San Francisco Bay Area PhotographerI am excited to announce our newest "contest" at kristy lynn photography! <br /><br />I am joining forces with almost 500 other photographers to give away two free photography session. One will go to a deserving family who is nominated and the other will go to a deserving family that does the nominating. Here is how it works. <br /><br />I know you know someone! Someone who has been struggling to just make it every day. Whether it be because of disease, financial circumstances, or personal tragedy, there are people all around us who are living reminders of just how difficult that life can be. And yet these very same people are the ones who also remind us how strong love can be. They remind us to find the joy, and they remind us what the word family is all about. <br /><br />Go ahead take a moment, think about it. Who would you love to see gifted with this opportunity. <br /><br />And then email me. Tell me their story. Tell me why they are so deserving. You have until midnight on January 21, 2009 to get your entry in. From there I will choose one family to receive a standard custom photography session and a $200 print credit. And the nominator will receive the same package for their nomination. <br /><br />And here are the "rules":<br /><br />~ you may not nominate yourself, or members of your immediate family considering that both the nominated and nominating families will receive a session. <br /><br />~ all submissions need to be emailed to kristy@kristylynnphotography.com by January 21, 2008. The chosen family will be announced on this blog on January 28, 2009.<br /><br />~ both the nominated and nominating families must reside in the greater San Francisco Bay Area. <br /><br />~ anybody can nominate anyone. you do not need to be a past client of mine to participate. <br /><br />~ please limit your nominations to one per person. <br /><br />So there you go. Now get to thinking. Who is deserving of this, who would not be able to have this photography session if it wasn't for this opportunity?<br /><br />Thank you! I can't wait to hear from you!kristylynnphotographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09615415470689536569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7400739521267081414.post-1877726513796576832008-12-22T19:38:00.000-08:002009-01-08T17:48:43.451-08:00What a day!: San Francisco Bay Area Child PhotographerI got to spend the day with my amazing boys today. We went on an adventure to find a location that had a warehouse and a field in Martinez. <br /><br />We ended up at the <a href="http://www.ebparks.org/parks/carquinez">Carquinez Strait Regional Shoreline</a>, where we got rained on, but I got this shot. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kristylynnphotography/3129240355/" title="IMG_6web by kristylfranks, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3263/3129240355_d0bc9931ba_o.jpg" width="700" height="503" alt="IMG_6web" /></a><br /><br />and this one<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kristylynnphotography/3130070002/" title="IMG_7web by kristylfranks, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3134/3130070002_e0dea0ca67_o.jpg" width="700" height="470" alt="IMG_7web" /></a><br /><br />After that we returned to our search and we did find our destination.
