Allen is turning 13!!

I had so much fun with Allen, Shelly, Monica, and Brayden. What great people. Allen amazed me. He is so smart and full of knowledge. He was teaching me a thing or two. He wasn’t camera shy, and that made my job easy. I think he thought I was crazy by some of there facial expressions… haha

The Gannon’s

The Gannon’s have the cutest kids ever.. No, really they do. This was my second time meeting the Gannon Family. We decided on Maymont this time. It was a PREFECT location. Spring is finally in the air. Besides me getting the time wrong, the session was fabulous. haha. Check out some of my favorites!

Small Business Friday – Thirty-One Gifts

Okay, no, I’m not crazy. I know it’s not Friday, but hey we can pretend right? I am a little late this month. Spring and has sprung and so has Kari Elizabeth Photography! Wahooo! Bring on the WEDDINGS, Mini sessions, and parties!  I wanted to do something a little different for Small Business Friday this month.

If you haven’t heard of Thirty-One Gifts you have probably been living under a rock. Thirty-One is a HUGE direct sales company that sells fun and stylish products. They sell anything from  handbags and purses to handy storage totes, baskets, stationery and more, there is something for everyone. And most of their products can be personalized!! I have been buying Thirty-One for a while now and recently I found one of their most AMAZING products. The Organizing Pack!!! It is “the bomb diggity”!! It has many uses, but I use it as my camera bag! I absolutely LOVE IT!!! I loved it so much, I got another one. haha!

Along with the Organizing Pack, Thirty-One has many different fabulous bags and things.  I wanted to show you a few of mine and what I use them for. Some these bags and prints may not be available anymore, but they have many more adorable prints!

Organizing Pack

It has so many different compartments. You can even use it as a diaper bag. It comes with a thermal-lined water bottle holder too, and it works prefect for my lens. It has a one arm strap on the back and its comfortable .

This is the  Skirt Purse in the denim, a Thermal Organizer, and I have no idea what the chevron bag is. I don’t think Thirty-One carries it anymore.

This is our ‘Brayden Bag” as we call it. Brayden uses it to keep all of his games and technology together. It’s great when we are on the go!

This is the Mini Utility Bag. I got this when it was on special and I had NO idea what I was going to do with it. I found use for it really quick!

Another cool thing that Thirty-One has is their Collegiate Spirit Collection! Check it out here! http://www.thirtyonegifts.com/Collegiate-Spirit

Sarah and Randal are ENGAGED!

Sarah is my best friend. We have been best friends for years. She actually used to live with us after she graduated from Longwood. Her boyfriend (now fiance’) popped the question on Christmas. I am so happy for her. Sarah and Randal are planning a Nov 2nd wedding. I am so excited because my kids and I are in the wedding. We did their engagement portraits at their house in Caret. Check them out. Randal was a bit full of himself.. haha

This is how much fun Carsyn was having! haha

Hoppy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone! I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend. It’s spring break here, so I am finally able to get some things done and get updated on blogging. Easter weekend was SUPER busy and it went by SUPER fast. We had a few Easter egg hunt’s and we visited family. The Easter bunny stopped by and left some fabulous goodies. I even got a new camera! I am so excited to use it in shoots. Check out our fabulous weekend….

 

We also got some chickens a few weeks back! I forgot to post some for you guys. Carsyn was scared to death of them. When she was taking her nap, Mike and I decided to do a little photo shoot of them in her “cakle” (castle). We showed her the pictures when she woke up and she totally got a kick out of. We did too. We now is a lot better with them. She actually touches them now!
