A Tribute to all the KBP Moms{We Love You!}

Posted on May 10, 2013

I can only hope that you have a Mom as amazing as I do. She is the best and I can honestly say she would do anything for me and my sister.
She is our rock and I know I can speak for my sister and I when I say that we hope to be half the Mom she is for our children. Love you Mom!!

Mother’s Day is in a few days. I am writing this post ahead of time because any day now we are expecting our second baby! I hope he has arrived by the time this post goes live, but if he hasn’t then maybe I will have an extra special Mother’s Day this year:) I wanted to do a  post dedicated exclusively to the Moms I have photographed over the years. I know they all are very special to their families!

Enjoy some past and present Mothers and have a wonderful weekend!

The image on the left is my Mom with Jackson{our first son} when he was a newborn. Almost 3 years later and #2 is either here or on his way:)

The couple on the right and the next few clients are expecting new babies this Spring and Summer or have had a baby recently, congrats!

Happy Mother’s Day!!

L.O.V.E ~ The Wedding!{Jonathan & Sarah}

Posted on October 4, 2012

Sarah and Jonathan were so much fun during their engagement session and they did not disappoint at the wedding! They were married in late August( I know this blog is WAY late) on one of those RAINY days. Despite the wet weather everything turned out wonderful! The tent ended up having gorgeous light for portraits and everyone danced the night away to the Elvis impersonator:)

First some beautiful details!

AND I was so blessed to have my sister along with me to second shoot. She did an AMAZING job! I {heart} her:)
Check out her work HERE and some of my favorites from her shots below.

Love and a Baby{Sarah & Scott – Maternity}

Posted on May 14, 2012

I was ecstatic when Sarah emailed me and asked if I would be available for maternity pictures! Her and I met while teaching and coaching soccer and Scott is also a teacher. The three of us are counting down the days until our summer break, but they have even more to count down to. They are expecting baby W in June! From experience I can tell them that June is a wonderful month for a baby to be born:)

Thank you Scott and Sarah for sharing an evening with me  and I cannot wait for your little guy’s arrival!

I promise I didn’t plan this, it was all them:)

These next two are probably my favorite of the set.

The Winners!{A Family Session}

Posted on May 5, 2012

This sweet family was the winner of my 2011 Favorites Contest. I was so excited to finally meet them! Between weather and our busy schedules we had to move the session around a few times, but when we finally met it was a perfect day. They showed up with awesome outfits and perfect colors for the location.

Loved the color in this session, but this black and white is a favorite!

Really?! Aren’t they so cute!

More Kisses{heart}

Client LOVE{Surprise!}

Posted on January 16, 2012

I truly LOVE my clients. They make my job even more fun than I could have imagined. I am constantly humbled by their compliments and the emotion that is attached to the photos that I take. I love that I can provide memories for them that can last for many many years to come! One of the ways I wanted to thank them for last  year was to give them a little surprise as 2012 began. I create a custom calendar for EVERY 2011 client. It was so much fun and even more fun that it was a surprise! Thank you again to my WONDERFUL clients. I cannot wait for an amazing new year with my old and new clients!

Introducing! {Tiny Prints Storefront}

Posted on December 3, 2011

ORDER NOW FROM OUR NEW STOREFRONT!

With the holiday season in full swing now is the time to take advantage of our new exciting adventure.
Kristie Bradley Photography now has a storefront at Tiny Prints!

We have partnered with Tiny Prints this year to help with the ordering and printing of your Holiday cards.
Tiny Prints is a leading retailer of premium personalized holiday photo cards and has been recognized for their high quality prints
and unmatched customer service. Each card ordered is also hand reviewed before it’s printed to ensure quality and accuracy.

To start your order through Tiny Prints, please click on the link below which will lead you to our co-branded Tiny Prints Storefront.
From here, you can shop for any product on the Tiny Prints site or review a few of our favorite choices.

There are THREE great ways to use this storefront. Check it out by clicking the link below
and then read on to see how you can work with us to create your beautiful holiday card.

http://www.tinyprints.com/storefront/kristiebradleyphoto

As I mentioned above there are a few different ways to utilize our storefront.

1) Escrow System – Image Released, Uploaded and ready to use for your Holiday Card ONLY

This system is a way for us to release the images directly to your Tiny Prints account to order a card for a special licensing fee of $25. It will also include a small attribution for our studio on the back of the card, which is part of this reduced licensing fee. You will not have access to the original image file as part of this system, but will be able to use it on the card of your choice.

When you are ready to order, please let us know and we will upload your chosen photo(s) into the Tiny Prints Escrow system. We will then send you a unique code for each image, which you can use in the card creation process in the “add a photo” stage to retrieve that image into your personal Tiny Prints account. Once you have retrieved the image, you can use it on any card for up to 30 days. Your card will be printed with the high resolution version of the photo, but you will not access to that file.

2) Use Images already Purchased from Kristie Bradley Photography (i.e. released on CD)

If you have purchased images from KBP please use our storefront to create your card(you have access to ALL cards just click on the link and start from our storefront). By going through the KBP Storefront it guarantees that copyright will be given on the back of the card attribute.

When you are ready to order please click on the link below which will lead you to our co-branded Tiny Prints Storefront page. From here, you can shop for any product on the Tiny Prints site or review a few of our favorite choices and then use the photography that you have purchased from us.

3) Order any card from Tiny Prints KBP Storefront!

**Studio Attribution – Clicking on our co-branded Tiny Prints Storefront also ensures that we receive credit for referring a customer to Tiny Prints. This includes our studio name on the back of the cards that you order with a small text based attribution. If you have a concern with our studio name being printed on the back of your cards, you have the option of removing it in the card preview section. The text-based attribution is small, fits in well with the design on the back of the card and is movable.

L.O.V.E{Sarah & Jonathon are Engaged!}

Posted on December 1, 2011

Sarah is the daughter of one of my closest coworkers. To be a part of her wedding day is such an honor. After meeting Jonathon and spending time with the both of them for their engagement shoot I am even more excited for their wedding! We had a little fun with some vintage sodas(thanks to Jonathon’s creative bottle opening skills).

I just love the model looks in these next two:)

Sarah you are going to make a beautiful bride!

The colors!

I think this images is my absolute favorite, but I couldn’t decide between black and white or color:)

The Martin Family{Virginia Family Photographer}

Posted on November 18, 2011

This family  is extra special to me. Kristen and I were pregnant together and little Liam was born just a few weeks before my little guy. It is so much fun to go through the amazing milestones of a new baby with someone else. Hopefully we will get the boys together more!
Liam is such a cutie! He has a great personality and oh so handsome:)

This session produced one of my all time favorite images!

Seriously, how can you not smile at that face!

Liam wasn’t really into the hat, but he kept it on long enough for me to capture a few…again, what a cutie!

Such a beautiful and fun family.
