Two things: San Francisco Bay Area Photographer

FREE! 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.

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.

And just in case you were wondering here is my normal pricing for a session.

Session Fee: $150 (includes a $75 print credit)

This is the standard on location session fee and includes the
time and talent of the photographer, and a $75 print credit.
This expires one week after your gallery is hosted. Two weeks
after your session you will be presented with a link to your
session online with between 25-35 finished images. There is a
non-refundable $75 fee required to reserve the date due upon
booking.
This session is for one immediate family up to 5 people. Please
add $25 for each additional person.


And number two.

Family - The Franks' side. : San Francisco Bay Area Family Photographer

I know this is my "professional" blog, but I got the rare opportunity to take some pictures of my husband's family. 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.

Anyway here are the images from that day. Thanks for letting me be a part of your day and I am so glad we are family! :)





Someone said a really funny joke, I am not repeating it, lol.

The many faces of S. : San Francisco Bay Area Baby Photographer

I had a session today that was postponed because of an emergency trip to the ER, oh no, right?

But since I had set up my home mock studio, I decided to use it for my boy today. This serves two purposes.

1. You get to see how darned cute he is.
2. You can see some of the cool fabric backgrounds that I have available to me to use for indoor sessions.

Fun, fun, fun.

Here he is. The many faces of S.

Calling all the girly girls!: San Francisco Bay Area Boudoir Photographer

With Valentine's day right around the corner, I know there are some of you girly girls looking for what to get your man! Well, I have the perfect answer for you.

A custom elegant boudoir session for you and the beautiful (dare I say sexy!) images of you, for him.

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.

Here are the details.

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!).

The cost for all of this is going to be $200. There will be an additional charge for parking.

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).

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. How fun!

Family of 16! So much fun! San Francisco Bay Area Family Photographer

It was this wonderful family's day for Christmas, and as part of the festivities we met up at Hillcrest Park in Concord. You may know it as Mateo's Dream. It is an awesome park.

It was a beautiful day and I couldn't have asked for a better family. Thanks guys for letting me be a small part of your Christmas celebration. :)

Here is your sneak peak!







You may recognize this adorable little girl. This is her.

Do you know someone? Giving is Awesome!: San Francisco Bay Area Photographer

I am excited to announce our newest "contest" at kristy lynn photography!

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.

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.

Go ahead take a moment, think about it. Who would you love to see gifted with this opportunity.

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.

And here are the "rules":

~ you may not nominate yourself, or members of your immediate family considering that both the nominated and nominating families will receive a session.

~ 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.

~ both the nominated and nominating families must reside in the greater San Francisco Bay Area.

~ anybody can nominate anyone. you do not need to be a past client of mine to participate.

~ please limit your nominations to one per person.

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?

Thank you! I can't wait to hear from you!

What a day!: San Francisco Bay Area Child Photographer

I 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.

We ended up at the Carquinez Strait Regional Shoreline, where we got rained on, but I got this shot.



and this one



After that we returned to our search and we did find our destination. We made it to Granger's Wharf in on the Martinez Regional shoreline. Beautiful location.

These were our shots in the field:





And then we found the puddles... :)

Boys + puddles + no inhibitions = awesome pictures!











Like I said, what a day!
