KLP Senior Rep Team {Class of 2018} | Atlanta Senior Photographer | Douglasville Senior Photographer

7/26/2017

Meet my Class of 2018 KLP Senior Rep Team!!!

So excited to officially share with you my amazing Senior Rep Team!! We had a fabulous session last week and LOVE everything about it. Even with the heat, these girls ROCKED it and laughed their whole way through!!

What do my Senior Reps do?

These girls were selected to represent Kirsten Lee Photography by their submitted application and showing diverse participation in their high school and community.
If you are a senior and KNOW them, ask them about KLP Senior photos.
They may have a little something extra for you when booking your senior session with KLP.

Senior Rep Session

We started our afternoon at Cothran Design Hair Studio with Sam and Amanda. The girls and I collaborated and decided on a bohemian theme. They worked on their outfits and we shared different ideas. We then shared their outfits with Sam and Amanda for their hair and make up. We all LOVED how it all came together.
Plus...it was FUN!! Who doesn't like to be pampered?!?

We headed to our location for photos and the weather was perfect. Now I know it was HOT but these girls were amazing and didn't complain once. We had no rain { It's been raining all summer long} and the sunset was gorgeous! I am so blessed to have friends with amazing backyards. Yes, I said backyard. You'll see. It's awesome.

Now booking Class of 2018 Seniors for Fall, Winter, and Early Spring

Senior year is full of fun and exciting activities! Contact me to book your Senior Portrait Session. I always meet with my seniors before hand to discuss all the details including outfits, locations, hair and make-up. It gives me a reason to meet
you first and enjoy a cup of coffee with you!

XOXO ~ Kirsten

Finding the light! |Tips for a Perfect Portrait Session | Atlanta Photographer | Douglasville Ga Photographer

7/12/2017

Does it matter what time of day we book our photo session?

Yes, of course it does!!

Finding the Light!

As a natural light photographer, finding the light for my sessions is important! Every photographer has their style and look for their images. As an artist, this is what makes us unique to our work. For me, I enjoy finding the light for my Portrait Sessions. I scout locations and suggest to you the time of day based on where the light falls!

Sunset Sessions

Most of my clients know that I enjoy photographing at sunset! Of course this means that we will wait till the later hours in the summer and the earlier hours in the fall. But this is a look that I LOVE. I always refer to the light as "yummy light". I mean, how can you not?? It's gorgeous! I typically will book your session an hour to hour half before the sun sets depending on the location. Being in south, we are the city among the trees. So you have to make sure you know where the sun falls at your location.

I love this sunset session in Douglasville, Ga on private property. I have amazing friends that let me use their backyard. Yes, I said backyard. Wish mine looked like this!

Sunrise Sessions

Yes, I said sunrise. But I promise, it's worth it!
That early morning sun is just as gorgeous as at sunset. Ponce City Market is a great example. You can photograph at sunset at Ponce City Market, but depending on the time of year and day, it can be busy with people. For this session below, I suggested early morning because the sunrise was beautiful AND there was no one there. We had the place to ourselves and beautiful photos to show for it.

What about my kids? Won't they be cranky?

This is a common question that I get asked. Yes, I want your children to be happy! I do work with each of my families on what is best for them. If your children are early risers {most are}, lets plan for a sunrise session! Your kids love to nap, lets do a sunset session after they've napped in the afternoon. And of course, if your children do much better inside, I always offer lifestyle family sessions. You better believe I love finding the light in your home as well. Either way, I want nothing but the best for my clients. As a mother, I know kid's attention spans are short and you never know how they will be but I promise I'll capture your family being YOU!

Contact me to book your next portrait session with me!
Looking forward to hearing from you!
XOXO ~ Kirsten

Every Small Business Owner needs Professional Headshots| Atlanta Photographer | Douglasville Ga Photographer

6/22/2017

Do Small Business owners need professional headshots??

Yes!! Of course they do!!

I met Rashad a few weeks ago for his business headshots. I had the pleasure of meeting him and his beautiful family in the spring for family photos and loved that he contacted me for his professional headshots. We discussed his business, style, location, and outfits for his session. He ROCKED his session and it shows in his photos.

Why Professional Headshots?

You've heard about social media right? Ha! Along with your website, most small businesses have social media accounts with Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and even Snapchat. All these social media accounts have a place for your photo!! Some businesses choose to place their logo in their profile but it is important to place an image of yourself. Why? This allows for your potential client to have a connection with YOU! They want to know that you are a person as well as a business.

Now, I know you're thinking...can't I just take a selfie?? Well, yes you can. I know I like a good selfie just like everyone else but for my business, I have a professional headshot that show off my personality, style, and professionalism. First impressions are important for small business owners and you want to leave a positive vibe with your potential clients.

Take a moment and scroll down to see Rashad's headshots. We met in downtown Douglasville, Ga and discussed a business casual look with a location that had a few different options for him.
His images turned out GREAT!

Looking for professional headshots for your small business? Let me help you with your photos.
We can personalize your session to fit your business brand, personality, and style!

I look forward to hearing from you!

Love this family session!! So bright and fun. We met down in the Oakhurst Village in Decatur Ga. Such a fun area for families. As you can tell in the photos we found a few fun backdrops! This family as been with me from the start and I ALWAYS love catching up with them! Hard to believe their youngest is turning TWO. He had fun collecting trash and sister kept me busy getting that beautiful smile. We ended the session with yummy ice-cream from Oakhurst Market. Such a neat store full of yummy fresh produce, local beers, and desserts.

So much fun a few weeks ago meeting this gorgeous family! I love our little suburb west of Atlanta because you end of meeting people that are your neighbors. We realized that our kids all go to school together and they knew each other! It was a great night for photos with this amazing sunset. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

Family Lifestyle Session | Atlanta Family Photographer | Atlanta Lifestyle Photographer

3/30/2017

I had the pleasure of meeting and hanging out with this awesome family a few weeks ago! Family lifestyle sessions are so fun since I basically get to hangout and play. We started off with Legos!!! It is something Big Sister does with Dad and they had fun showing me their creations. Since it was daylight savings the night before, I got to be there when little sister woke up from her nap. Loved capturing that for them. I hope you enjoy their awesome afternoon. Complete with an art project for Grandma as the end!
