Urban adventure

Just wanted to post a few from a urban shoot I had yesterday with my son.   We headed downtown for some shooting and had a blast.  Steven was in town for a week, and this was his last day here...-2e see the album "urban adventures" for more.

PUFFBALL: May he rest in peace...

The eyes of children are astounding.   On a recent walk, my daughter spotted (from yards away) a tiny bird egg on the ground beneath a bush.    She picked it up, and although the egg was cracked open, she realized immediately that the baby within was still alive!   We searched for his nest and it was nowhere to be found.   Our adoption of this tiny creature was immediate and wholehearted!   We carefully took the egg home and given the little tiny puffs of feathers coming from his little, skin covered body, Maya named him Puffball.    Over the next few days, Puffball grew a little, and began to break out of his shell a bit.   He was too little to eat yet, despite our efforts to feed him, he would not open his beak to eat.    Our guess is that he was just too tiny to be out of his shell-a preemie.   We put him in a little nest on a heating pad and launched a house-wide monitoring campaign (cat excluded!).   He was still quite active and moved around in his shell from time to time.  Once the weekend past, and he was still alive, my hubby agreed to take the little guy to work, so he could keep an eye on him, and continue efforts to feed him.   During this time, little Puffball decided to join his other little feathered friends in the big nest in the sky.    Maya was quite upset after school when she learned about his departure, but was peaceful about it by dinnertime.  We had all grown quite attached to Puffball, and wanted to share his story to honor his short little life!    RIP Puffball!-75e   -79e-81e

Day of Caring

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 amazingBlog_1 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...

Coming up for air!!!

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

Baby Juliette

I had the pleasure of photographing little Juliette Ella today, just nine days old!   She was a little angel for the entire two hours, and a pleasure to work with.    She was awake the whole time,  and LOVED being photographed.    Here is one shot from today, and more in the "My Images" folder!1_0880_e

Child of the Week

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....Maya2

A little behind...

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!
