This past weekend was the Day of Caring - Breast Cancer Forum, which I shot images of for Cure magazine. This was my first time attending this amazing event, and I have to say, I was so impressed by the organization, time and effort that was quite clearly invested in this forum. The forum is a two-day meeting designed to support breast cancer patients with amazing workshops, speakers and sponsors providing many different forms of information and services. I was present in the morning and photographed the registration, breakfast and the opening sessions. I returned in the evening with my assistant (my wonderful husband) for their annual fashion show. The fashion show was so much fun! The models were breast cancer survivors, looked amazing
and absolutely loved being on stage! I am so grateful to have been a part of these women's lives for a few short hours. Hearing their stories was so touching, and the entire event was both inspiring and empowering. I hope to be a part of this again next year. You can find photos from this event in the Day of Caring album...
It's been a while since I last posted, so I am finally making it a priority. I have been working crazy hours with a full time job and my photography business and am finally seeing some light at the end of the proverbial tunnel!
A couple of topics in this post:
First, I am excited to be the event photographer for an upcoming event called the "Day of Caring - Breast Cancer Forum" in Denver the first week of May. I was contacted by Cure Today magazine to shoot this event and I couldn't be more honored! I am sure this will be an inspiring and eye-opening experience for me, and I can't wait. Stay tuned for images from this event.
I would also like to remind parents and upcoming high school seniors that the time is rapidly approaching to book your senior portrait sessions! Please contact me as soon as possible to reserve your session.
Finally, I am holding a spring portrait session sale! Schedule your session prior to June 1, 2008, and receive 25% off your session fee and a free 8x10 ($65.00 value). Session must be completed prior to September 1, 2008. Simply go to the KHP website and go t0 the contact page to request your discounted session!
Happy Spring! ~KH
These are the moments parents love....the moments when your children step up and command that they are noticed! Maya had been anticipating her opportunity to be Child of the Week in her kindergarten class for weeks. She carefully searched through boxes (and boxes) of photos, to make sure she selected the correct ten to show to her classmates. It's funny the photos she considered to be a "momentous occasion" versus which ones I thought were! She searched high and low for her five "favorite things". We finally eliminated the box of dog fur, the four foot long stuffed horse, and her favorite blanky, since the items had to be at school overnight. She ended up with two stuffed animals, an "owl feather" (as seen in photo-it was purchased at Hobby Lobby-she thinks it is straight from the owls back!), her cross that hangs above her bed, and a large porcelain horse.
Her presentation went off without a hitch. She used her pointer with finesse, and carefully explained what each picture represented, and then showed all of her treasures. When it came time for questions, she showed no mercy when the same question was asked twice, and impatiently said, "I already ANSWERED THAT!" (Kinda funny!) She is definitely NOT a shy child-and is for sure, her father's daughter! All in all, she loved her moment of glory, and we loved watching. A photo of her special day....
After a few days of REALLY cold weather (low of 3-yes 3 degrees...brrrr!)...the sun is out and shining! For those of you who have inquired, I am making my images available to purchase as fine art prints. They will be available in different forms, such as fine art canvas wraps; mounted prints, or simply the prints themselves. If you are interested, please hit the "email me" button to the right, let me know what you are interested in, and we can discuss pricing and options. Have a great Wednesday!
Happy Tuesday! Unfortunately, I already missed two days of my 366 challenge. But Sunday, I did get an opportunity to go to a state park here in Colorado with a friend and shoot some really pretty landscapes. So I will post 3 from Sunday to make up for it! We are expecting a good storm tomorrow, so if I can manage to get out of the house, it should make for some fun photo ops. Some of my good friends from my old pharma job are in Denver for a sales meeting-they get to experience the winter wonderland first-hand! (It was great seeing ya'll again!). Have a great week everyone!
