What we have been up to

Thank you guys for giving me some fun facts about yourselves in my previous posts. It was really fun to read a little about you! For those of you who asked. That was NOT easy to come up with 100 facts. It took me all day popping on and off the computer adding things as I thought of them. It was fun though.

Okay…so life is yet again in FAST FORWARD mode. God is just blessing our business more than we could have ever imagined just 2.5 years ago. It is indeed a blessing and a curse. If it were all we had to do then we would be sitting pretty. Unfortunately, Ryan works full time for the school district as a web designer and I am home all day with a toddler and baby who do not think it is fun to sit at my feet quietly while I am on the computer. This makes for long, late nights editing our brains out. I literally have almost 5000 pictures to edit in the next 30 days. I WANT TO PUKE THINKING ABOUT THAT!!!!! When it rains it pours.

I refuse to be bitter because we love what we are doing and it is allowing me the freedom to be home with my ankle biters which I double heart love!

Anywho….please go and check out our recent labors of love. We are very proud of our most recent work and feel like God is opening our eyes up tremendously to new techniques, cleaner editing, more creative directing and all around better quality photos. You can not imagine how hard it is to be creative for hours on end when you are working with people who may or may not be easy to direct, may or may not be photogenic, may or may not have a ton of chemistry. It is also hard when people pick places you have shot many times. You want to make sure their photos don’t look like everyone elses! Can I get an amen from other photographers????

So go go go….I am not fishing for compliments, just want you to enjoy some of our work and understand the big fatty gaps in my blogging.

If you want to subscribe to our Kellan Studios flickr feed….we will be happy to friend you! We only use Flickr for the pictures we put on our blog. We have a proofing site with all our galleries…but that is for our clients. No looky loos available.

Enjoy some young love…..amore!

    Hey, I went to school with Kristen. She was two years younger than me but in the same math class as me. Wait - does that mean she was really smart or I was just really dumb….or both? Doesn’t matter, math is useless, I mean how often do you really use it?

    Love the pics, as always. We need to schedule Max’s shoot - I’m getting freaked out he’s going to enter the baby-acne zone soon!

    ryc: how you pushed bennett out will forever be a mystery to me! you’re smaller than i am!!! you must be super-woman!!! :) not so sure why my docs are freaking out, then. granted, bennett wasn’t your first. how much did chloester weigh??

    as for editing 5000 images — my little beating heart REALLY DOES go out for you!!! nothing IS WORSE than staring at your hard drive wondering where to begin. I HATE EDITING. it’s my least favorite part of this job :) so i will CERTAINLY keep you in my thoughts as you have 30 days or less to conquer that task!!! but again, you’re super-woman, so….i have no doubts!!!!!!

    LOVING the latest kellan update!!!! YOU GUYS ROCK :)

    I’ve always loved looking at your images. Awesome. My recent photographic inspiration: http://flickr.com/photos/stereonauta/collections/72157602221374877/
    You’d probably dig his adventure collection as well.
