Introducing {Wyatt Luke ~ 7 Days Old}

Posted on May 20, 2013

I am so excited to welcome our newest addition, Wyatt Luke, to the family. He truly completes us and we couldn’t be happier. Born May 7th, 2013 after only 3.5 hours of labor{I know I am super lucky}, Wyatt weighed 7lbs 10oz and 20 inches long. Delivered by his father’s hands the experience was completely amazing.
Being on maternity leave is difficult for me. I LOVE being home and taking care of my new bundle of joy, but I find it hard not to want to work still. So many dreams and goals for KBP that my mind is always working on the next idea. I miss my sessions and cannot wait to photograph my next senior in a few short weeks! It felt good to get my camera out and take some shots of Wyatt at one week old. I kept it simple and used just one bowl and blanket. I am hoping to do some more with him this week in his new room. I am sure I took way too many of my little guy, but he kept making the cutest little faces and I wanted to get each one recorded. I hope you enjoy these images and I cannot wait to share some more as he grows.

If you are interested in booking a session for Summer or Fall please contact me so we can schedule your consult.
I am so excited about the sessions planned and what is yet to come!

 

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!!

Family of Three {Clark is ONE!}

Posted on April 15, 2013

Clark and my son Jackson go to daycare together and his Mommy and I work together. There are so many ways we are connected to this sweet family. Clark is the HAPPIEST  baby! We met a few weeks ago on a gorgeous day, but the wind picked up and the temp dropped pretty quickly. They toughed it out and we made the best of the Winter…I mean Spring day{it was hard to tell during that week which season we were in!}.

Loving his little bow tie and big baby blues!

 Playing peek-a-boo!

Countdown to Baby!{When do YOU think he will arrive?}

Posted on April 12, 2013

We are so excited and so close{one month from today until my due date} to meeting baby boy  Bradley #2! That means that I will be on maternity leave soon, so please remember that I will not be booking any sessions in May. I will begin shooting again June 1st and already have sessions on the calendar so please make sure you contact me if you would like a summer session! I will be checking emails and messages and making bookings while on leave, it may just take me a bit longer to reply while I am on newborn time:)

So, with the baby arriving very soon, I thought it would be fun to run a little CONTEST and open up due date and birth stat guesses to all my KBP fans and supporters!
To “sweeten” the deal I have put together a yummy candy filled prize basket for the winner full of goodies from Sweet Spot Candy!

So, here is how it works:

1)Head over to Facebook and LIKE Kristie Bradley Photography so that you can be notified of updates and the winning announcement!
You MUST be a fan to be eligible to win the gift basket. If you do not do this step the next closest guess will be awarded.
Already a FAN, yay! You can skip to the next step:)

2) Use this link {http://www.whatsinmybelly.com/baby-pool-baby-bradley-2-886}
or the one pinned to the top of our Facebook page feed to go to our Whats in My Belly baby pool.

3) Make your guesses!

Because posts are always more fun with some pictures. Here are a few Instagram pics of my growing belly:)

 

I cannot wait to meet our little guy and see who makes the best guess on his arrival! Hurry go guess, he could be here any day now!!

Week in Review{Sneak Peeks & What is on the Way!}

Posted on April 5, 2013

This week has been wonderful! It is Spring Break around here and the to do list has been seeing lots of check marks!
On a personal note we have made some progress on the baby room and Jackson’s big boy room. Still lots to do but feeling like we are closer:)

A few of this weeks sessions had to be rescheduled, but the two I have had so far were so much fun!
I still have one more huge shoot this weekend. I cannot wait to get all of my Class of 2014 Senior Spokesmodel team together on Sunday!
Wait until you see what we have planned!

So, still lots to share and do before May hits. In case you missed them, here are a few of the sneak peeks and favorites from the week!.

First, we had Bethany’s senior session. You can see most of the session HERE, but the rest must wait until May{read the post for details}.
Here is one of my favorites from her session.

Then Clark and his Mom and Dad came over for his one year session. More of their session is coming in a week or two, but check out a favorite.

Then yesterday we FINALLY had Savannah’s senior session. This was our 3rd attempt and it worked out perfectly!
This is one of MANY favorites that I cannot wait to share in a few weeks!

Be sure to follow us on Instagram this weekend to see some behind the scenes of our Spokesmodel shoot! – @kristiebradleyphotography

The Plotkin Crew{A Family Session}

I have been emailing back and forth with Lauren for a while now and was so excited when their session arrived on a 65 degree gorgeous day!
Snow storm Wednesday, perfect sunny day Saturday! That is Richmond weather for ya:)

As you will see little Max was on the move the whole time and he kept us on our toes! He is so adorable!
I loved his little high tops and baby fedora. Too cute! Enjoy a little sneak peek of their city session:)

I LOVE giving! {AND my clients!}

Posted on January 8, 2013

What a great way to be headed into 2013 with my 200th blog post!!! One of my goals this year is to blog more(especially in my off season) so look forward to many more posts this year:) I wanted to share what I created for my 2012 clients. I love my clients and wanted to give them a little gift to thank them for choosing KBP and just plain being amazing!
Each of my clients received their very own 2013 custom 5×5 calendar. I hand picked images from their session(s) to include on each page of their calendar.
Colors were coordinated and images were placed for a year full of beautiful memories! I just love giving my clients a little something special to thank them for being a part of something that I cherish. Heading into my third year of business is so exciting and I couldn’t do it without them!
I hope you enjoy seeing these special gifts as much as I have enjoyed creating them.
And if you want your 2013 gift make sure you contact me to book your 2013 session! Dates are limited and some awesome things are coming for the new year!

Holiday Card to go along with their gift. Complete with a heart full of images:)

All packed up and ready to ship!

BIG News for 2013!{A New Year’s Announcement}

Posted on January 1, 2013

I have some very exciting news to share with my KBP family! I thought it was only appropriate for me to do it through images and I got some help from my little guy too:)

 So…we are so ecstatic and blessed to be welcoming our second child! Yay!
With this new addition I will be taking maternity leave from May 1st – May 31st 2013. I will still be accepting inquiries during that time, but will not be booking any sessions for these dates. Due to the loss of four weeks, session dates will book fast for the Spring! Please be sure to book early and reserve your spot. With another baby coming there will be changes to the business and I will be working on a strict schedule and booking a set amount of sessions. I cannot wait for all that is ahead!

Happy New Year!

Because I took way more pictures than my video announcement shows I thought I would share a few of the outtakes.
It wasn’t all smiles…haha:)

 

But there was a lot of silliness going on!

A few Kindle breaks were necessary:)

Daddy even came in to see what we were up to. This isn’t the most in focus image, but I love my two favorite guys!

After we finished our special photoshoot, he needed some alone time under the table:)

And then into the playroom!
