Spring Mini Sessions Available!!!

Through the month of April I'll be doing another round of Spring Mini Sessions. These sessions are perfect for Easter and bluebonnet pictures.  And I've found some GREAT bluebonnet spots this year!!!  I have sessions available both on the weekends and during the week to make it convenient for everyone.

Details: Session Price $50.00 (due upon booking)

• 30 minute session
• Approximately 10 proofs in your online gallery
• $25 print credit

This year I am also adding a CD of images to my product offerings.  I've had lots of inquiries for them, so it's an experiment right now.  In other words, it might not last long!!!  They are available for these mini sessions for $125.00 and yes, your print credit CAN be used for them.

To book a session please call 972-765-0342, or send me an email at keri@keripaynephotography.com.

Hope to see you soon!!

 

 

Justin - Senior 2011 - Venus, Texas

Photographing guys is always so much fun.  They're always a little shy and nervous at first, and seem to like to CLAIM that they don't like their picture taken.  But usually by the end of the shoot they are working it.  Love that!!! 

 
 
 
 
 
 
Thanks for hanging out with me Justin!!

Taylor + Nicole = Married! College Station, Texas

I grew up in College Station, and have known this family since I was a little girl, so it was so exciting to get to travel down there to shoot this wedding.  I haven't had a chance to edit all the photos, so here's just a small sneak peek.

 
 
 
 
(notice the wedding date carved into the arbor?  such a cool detail!)

 
 
 
 
 
 
Congratulations Taylor and Nicole!  Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of your wonderful day!

Missy + Wacey = Married!!

This weekend I got the chance to second-shoot a wedding with my friend Sarah in Alvord, Texas.  I've never had the chance to shoot with her before and it was a TON of fun.  Plus, I had the chance to use some different cameras and lenses, which was great, but unfortunately made my equipment wish list MUCH longer. 

Here are some of my favorites from the ones I took:

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Congratulations guys!!!  And thank you Sarah for asking me to tag along. 

 

Jennifer + Will = Engaged! Waxahachie, Texas

They've known each other since high school, but it took them until last Fall to finally start dating.  When you know, though, you know and it didn't take them long after that to realize they were meant to be together forever. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
Such a cute couple!  I can't wait for their wedding this summer.  I'll for SURE cry that day (yes, I'm a crier - so what?!).

Rebekah - Waxahachie 2011 - W Hotel, Dallas, Texas

Call me a big chicken, but I never thought we were going to be able to shoot at the W.  Luckily, Rebekah and her mom are braver than me.  The W is AMAZING and it was a really cool place for a senior shoot.  I love all the ideas my seniors come up with!!!

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
If I had anywhere to wear them, I might have fought her for those red (hot pink?) shoes.  LOVED THEM!!!!!

Good luck at college next year Rebekah!!

Daugherty - Waxahachie Kids Photography

This session was scheduled by a guy wanting to have his girlfriend's kids photographed as a gift to her.  How great is that?!  Such a good idea, and really it's one that any mom would love.  Guys, you don't have to even be all super-sneaky like he did and already HAVE the session because even just a gift-certificate would be perfect.  Keep it in mind for Mother's Day!

 
 
 
 
I think this is one of my all-time favorite photographs!  LOVE!

 

The Payne Family - Waxahachie Family Photography

Wow!  Do you guys think I've fallen off the face of the earth?  I can't believe it has been so long since I posted to my blog, but then too, who has wanted to go outside for a photo shoot in the weather we've had recently?  I can't wait for Spring because I'm really starting to miss shooting all the time!

This is the Payne family.  You've seen some of them here before, but this time they met up with me after Christmas and brought the WHOLE family.  And no, they're not related me to me, but I wouldn't mind if they were because I always have a GREAT time hanging out with them!!!

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Aren't they the cutest couple EVER?!

 
 

STUDIO NEWS:  I know it's months away, but graduation will be here before you know it.  If you're still needing to have your Senior Pictures taken is it NOT too early to call and schedule a session.  I've already got quite a few bookings for March so if you're wanting a specific date you need to call me now and reserve it!!

The Hardy Family - Waxahachie, Texas

This was another one of my "rescheduled for rain" sessions.  Thank goodness it doesn't happen very often (I think I only had three this entire year).  Another interesting addition to this session was Toby, the dog.  Such a cutie, but completely uninterested in me and anything I would to to try and get his attention. lol  Luckily, I brought my helper (my son) along just for this purpose.  LOVE family pictures that include the pets!!!!!

 
 
 
 
 
 
GREAT family......too bad they're UT fans.  lol  Joking!!!

 

The Colman Family - Waxahachie, Texas

What was up with daylight savings this year???!!  I hope it's not this late next year, because that really messes up my schedule!!!  Despite having to reschedule the first session due to rain, and the time change sucking up our daylight hours, we still managed to have a GREAT session. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I love this last one!!!  Yay for random (super cool) trucks parked in the parking lot!!

Nick - Kennedale High School - 2011

Confession:  I have never felt shorter in my entire life than I did hanging out with this guy.  He's a 6'10" basketball player from Kennedale.  Y'all?  That's TALL.  Nick came to downtown Waxahachie with his dad to have his senior pictures taken, making him the first senior GUY for KPP.  Much different than shooting the girls, but still a lot of fun. 

 
 
 
 
 
Oh and sorry girls......he's taken.
