Vacation!!!!

I am so excited because Sunday we are leaving for vacation! I will have access to email and orders while away (yes I will be doing a little work), but I will not be placing new orders until I get back since I don't want packages sitting on our doorstep. We have not had a real vacation since I was preggers with my daughter, she is 2 now so it has been a while. We have had a few days here and there, but not a week long vacation!

Sunday we are hitting the road and heading to Savannah GA for an overnight stay. Monday we are off to Charleston, SC for 4 nights on Folly Beach. We are even going to have our beach portraits taken while we are there. Then back through Atlanta for some shopping at IKEA and the container store!

So anyway I may not be quite as prompt replying to emails, no internet access on the beach you know!

I can't wait to share beach pictures, in the meantime here are some from 2 recent sessions.

Alyza - 18 Month Outdoor Portraits Smyrna TN

Ha, so much for posting "previews" for my customers. I am at least posting a few after I am done proofing each session for my loyal blog readers. When times are busy, I slack a little on blogging.

Here is Miss Alyza, she came back to visit me for her 18 month portraits. We had to move her session from a foggy, wet Saturday am, to a rather sticky hot evening. I am glad we did though, I prefer evening light and nobody would have been happy on that wet Saturday morning.

I did get smiles, but my favorites are these two non-smiling ones.

Just One More- Maternity Portraits Smyrna TN

Okay I lied, here is one more. I love the lighting on this one.

Maternity - Just One (Smyrna Tennessee Maternity Portraits)

Busy times, but I had to share just one from my recent Maternity session. Enjoy!

October is Family Portrait Month to benefit Operation Smile (Family Portraits Middle Tennessee)

October is a perfect time of year to get family portraits. The weather is cooler and we often have some fall color! It is also Family Portrait Month, and KAP has joined with the PPA Charites(Professional Photographers of America) to raise money for Operation Smile.

"Operation Smile is a worldwide children's medical charity dedicated to helping children and young adults born with facial deformities. Since 1982, more than 115,000 children and young adults have been treated by thousands of volunteers worldwide and thousands of healthcare professionals have been trained globally. For as little as $240 Operation Smile can change a child's life by giving the gift of a surgery. Revenue in excess of surgical costs is invested into our sustainability programs, empowering our partner countries to treat more children on their own and making your investment go even farther. In as little as 45 minutes, one cleft lip surgery can change a child's life forever."

KAP will be donating a portion of your family portrait session fee in October to Operation Smile as well as a percentage of sales from that order.

Check out this video and see how you can help by booking your family portrait session in October with KAP.

Announcing a new product - Photo Jewelry

I'm so very pleased to announce the addition of a beautiful line of products to Kristin Aune Photography.

I will be adding a complete line of Mother of Pearl photo tiles, custom beaded necklaces, keychains, bracelets, bookmarks, and Christmas ornaments to my ordering system soon. In the meantime if you are interested on having one of the photos of your child on one of these products, please email me and I will get you complete details.

Without further ado, here is *my* custom couture necklace. The beading was done specifically for me and this particular photo.
