Holiday Mini-Sessions are a great way to get a few new images of your family. Perhaps you just want a few for your holiday card and maybe a few more for some gifts for grandma and grandpa. If that is the case, then this is the session for you!

We will meet at a park in the East Bay area and spend some time capturing your family just the way that they are today! I would love to have you join us for a session. Email me at kristy@kristylynnphotography if you have any questions at all.

Check out this flier for more details and date. Oh, and I have one open spot on October 2nd if neither of the two dates on the flier work for you.

I woke this morning to my two year old singing “happy mother’s day, it’s a happy day!” and it made my face and my heart smile.

So happy Mother’s Day, it’s a happy day! to all of you mothers out there. Enjoy your day, leave the dishes for the “men”, sit back and watch some Bravo on tv (or some mindless reality tv!). Enjoy your day.

I am so happy to announce that the winner to out Mother’s Day contest is Jordan and Jacob’s mom, Judy! The family is the recipients of a family session for the three of them and from that session a complimentary 11×14 from me! I can’t wait for our session.

But I don’t want the other awesome moms who were in the contest to feel left out at all. So if you were entered in the contest as a Mother’s Day thank you gift from Kristy Lynn Photography we want to give you 1/2 a family session for you and a free 8×10 from that session. Email me if you have any questions.

And just because they are so darn cute here is a picture of the winning family! Are they not adorable?

Thanks to everyone who voted. This was an awesome contest and we had well over 200 votes in the end! You guys rock.

I announced a few weeks ago that I was going to be doing a Mother’s Day contest. I was excited to see all five entries that I got! There are some pretty awesome moms out there! I know my mom rocks but since she really can’t win my contest I have to give kudos to all the other awesome mom’s out there!

So here are the “rules”: Vote for your favorite mom (there is a picture and a one-liner that describes why that mom is so awesome!), tell your friends to come to the kristy lynn photography blog and vote for their favorite mom, post this blog entry on your facebook to remind your friends to come and vote, send an email to everyone without a facebook to tell them about it. Remember that each person only gets one vote. I can track IP addresses and can tell if there is any funny business going on. Plus, since this is all in fun, it is not cool to cheat! The fine print: anyone caught cheating will be disqualified immediately. You don’t want to take that chance!

With the rule stuff out of the way, here are the moms!

1. Nancy’s mom!

Nancy’s one-liner: My Mom, who has always given selflessly to her family, ROCKS because she his a constant force of unconditional and supportive love in the lives of me, my sister, my husband, and my two young daughters.

And the picture:

2. Jaime’s mom!

Jaime’s one-liner: My Mom rocks because my kids think she’s the Greatest Grandma ever!

and the picture:

My mom Rocks

3. Jordan and Jacob’s mom!

Jordan and Jacob’s one-liner: Our mother laughs with us- and just as hard!

and the picture:

4. Krista’s mom-in-law!

Krista’s one-liner: My mother-in-law and I spent five days straight in a car together; her, me, and my two boys…..we laughed, we talked, we sang……she is loyal, caring, and doesn’t give advice unless you want it, she is the greatest mother-in-law I can imagine, and I consider her my other mommy.

and the picture:

5. Cristine’s mom!

Cristine’s one-liner: My mom rocks because she is always there when we need her, with time and love and fresh batch of cookies!

and the picture:

It is going to be so hard to choose. All of these moms are awesome and I am proud to have each one as part of the contest!

So share away and vote and go and hug your mom, it’s the right thing to do.

Our Mother’s Day contest voting will start tomorrow! I am so excited. We have some awesome submissions from some really great women, but there is room for more!!!

Think about your mom. Would she love it if you could win a free photo shoot and 11×14 wall portrait for her this Mother’s Day? Would she think that you were pretty much the best-est kid ever if you told the world why she rocked? Would she think that this was a way better gift than a bunch of tulips (and btw, I love tulips)?

I think we all know that the answer to the three above questions is…. YES!!!

So get on it, find a picture of your mom and send it on in with one line that describes why your mom is the best-est mom in the world! Can’t wait to hear from you!

I have taken too long of a break from my blog. We had quite the event-filled Christmas weekend!

I wanted to announce the recipients of the wedding giveaway on Christmas Eve, but the time to do so eluded me. But I am here to make the announcement now.

Ashley and Chad have been together for almost 5 years. Through what seems to be a million trials and tribulations they have stood by each others side to come out victorious in love. What impressed me the most about their story was that they have found a way to work through all that life has thrown at them. They have worked for positive solutions to all of life’s sticky situation. I am inspired by that. And I am drawn to that kind of love.

Ashley and Chad will marry on 10-10-10 of this year. It is day that we will all be looking forward to for months now. And it is a day that will not easily be forgotten in the future. Can you imagine forgetting your anniversary when it is as easy as 10-10-10?

So thanks to everyone who submitted a story. I wish to you all the happiness and love imaginable in your future.

And to everyone reading this I want to wish to you a happy happy happy early new year! Oh and my little guy wants to wish you a happy New Year too!

The Biggest Announcement: Bay Area Wedding Photographer

November 30th, 2009

I love this time of the year. I am inspired more than ever to see the potential in people and the good in humanity. I am drawn into happy endings and love beyond imagination. And I am compelled to be more giving than feels comfortable. I do not say this to toot my own horn [...]

 

I love this time of the year. I am inspired more than ever to see the potential in people and the good in humanity. I am drawn into happy endings and love beyond imagination. And I am compelled to be more giving than feels comfortable. I do not say this to toot my own horn in any way. Trust me I can be as un-grace-filled as Scrooge at times, but I have the desire to be giving and loving and grace-filled. So I sat down and started to dream about what I could do to “give back” for the amazing gift that this past year has been for me. And that was when I hatched this plan.

I am going to give away a day of wedding photography to a deserving couple. You might ask, “what do you mean by deserving”? And my answer is that the couple who receive this will have an incredible story. They will be the kind of people who radiate love and hope and peace and joy even though if you looked at their journey you would expect everything but. I don’t want to be too much more specific than that because I want this to be open to lots of different stories.

So here is what the day will include. Up to 8 hours of wedding coverage by myself and my assistant/second shooter (my wonderful husband!), DVD of the high resolution images from the wedding, and a $500 album credit after the wedding is completed. I will also throw in an engagement session to happen in January 2010! (this is over $4000 in wedding coverage)

And here are the specifics. Your entry will be your story. Please email your story to me at kristy@kristylynnphotography.com no later than December 10, 2009. From there a winning couple will be chosen on Christmas Eve and announced on this blog. When you email your story please be as descriptive of who the two of your are as possible. Include how you met, how you fell in love, what obstacle you have overcome, how this love and journey has changed the two of you. Optimally both of you will contribute to the story you write in your own special way. I would love to be able to really get a feel for the two of you in your story.

Beyond that, you must have already chosen a wedding date in 2010 and it cannot occur on a date that I already have booked for 2010 (I will email as soon as I receive your story if there is a scheduling conflict). Previously contracted wedding couples by Kristy Lynn Photography or any other photographer are not allowed to send their story. You will be required to sign a contract with Kristy Lynn Photography if you are the winning couple and the gift will not be transferable and has no monetary value. Please take the utmost care to be completely honest in your story. And one final thing, the wedding must take place in the greater San Francisco Bay area. Weddings outside of this area will incur a travel fee.

Thanks for reading this and I can’t wait to read your stories! Seriously!!!

And since every post is just beyond better with a picture here is another image from my recent engagement session in downtown St. Helena with Sam and Brent one of my 2010 wedding couples. I love them, I really do.
