Gift Certificate Sale!
11.30.2009Life

Since this is my 100th blog post, I felt it was only fitting to have a sale! And what better timing, then the Holidays!?

Lucky you!

For one week only, for every gift certificate you buy to Kristen Weaver Photography, I’ll add an additional $50 to the certificate amount (min. $50 purchase).

This is perfect if you have any friends or family that have an upcoming session, or already had a session (even if you just want one for yourself! It’s the holidays – treat yourself)! Use the certificate on products, prints, sessions, wedding deposits or balances – it works just like cash over here!

Since I love examples, let me demonstrate.

Your BFF just booked a sultry Boudoir session with me. You, being the coolest friend she has, spends $50 on a gift certificate to KWP as her fantastical Christmas present. I add on another $50 (because you’re the coolest, remember?) and you get to give her $100 that she can use towards a Sexy Little Album, prints, the balance of her session fee – whatever her little heart desires! You, my dear, are now a Rockstar!

Email me to order one, or if you’d like some more details! Gift Certificate must be ordered between today and Friday, Dec. 4, 2009. I only have a limited quantity available, so get yours now!

Lunatic Fringe Salon
11.30.2009Fashion

Awesomesauce has become my new favorite word. It’s likely that I heard it somewhere, but I can’t seem to stop saying it. Today was another awesomesauce shoot with the girls at Lunatic Fringe Salon in Altamonte Springs. They’re a Paul Mitchell salon, and one of my favorite hair geniuses, Luisa V, asked me to come by and get some beauty shots for their salon signs. The girls were great to work with, and I thought I’d throw up some quick shots from the morning, even though they’re not really edited yet. I can’t wait to show off the rest of their awesome work!

For all those photographers out there, these were shot with some killer window light, 200 iso, 50mm 1.4 on my Nikon D700. Softbox bouncing off a white wall for some soft fill light.

Celebration, FL Engagement Session

This will absolutely be the longest sneak peek in existence on my blog. I’m so excited to show off these shots from my engagement session today with Lindsey and Jason, my newest bride and groom, who are getting married next October over at the amazing Longboat Key Club. The day started off a little shaky, with a huge band of storms to cross Central Florida – the first day of storms in month! Lindsey and Jason flew in this week from Orange County, CA, and I refused to delay this shoot! Come rain or shine – we would make this session work! And work, it did!

Lindsey was referred to me by one of my good friends, Justin – who will be the Man of Honor at their wedding! This will now be my second Man of Honor wedding! I LOVE it! Justin’s an awesome pick and was already flexing his MOH muscles at the shoot today!

We stopped for some pre-session lunch at Sieto (best sushi!), and wouldn’t you know that the rain let up right as we paid our checks. Luckily enough, it started raining again right as we wrapped up at Kilwin’s for some delicious ice cream. Our session was the perfect blend of overcast skies, cool(ish) weather, and one of the sexiest couples I know!

Lindsey and Jason – I had such an awesome time hanging out with you today, and I can’t wait until your wedding! Hope you enjoy this “Uber-Sneak-Peek”!

Little Miss Amazing
11.25.2009Fashion

Feminine and soft, pink and luscious – this fashion boudoir shoot was a last minute throw-together of some uber talented artists. Rocking out in lingerie and Jimmy Choo, Megan was an inspiration to shoot (and fun, too!).

This blog entry doesn’t require much chit chat. So I’d just like to say that I named this “Little Miss Amazing”, because I have the coolest team of girls. Ever.

They’ve been patiently waiting for these images – so, here we go!

Model: Megan Henderson
Hair & Makeup: Jillian Caro
Wardrobe: Melanie Pace
Editing: Jennifer Frances Retouching

Yay for my grandma’s hat, circa 1930’s.

Our Christmas Cards!
11.23.2009Family Life

Every year, I get the family together for an attempt at our very own family Christmas cards! This year, the budget was cut slightly (just kidding – we’ve never actually had a budget! Ha!) and we asked Reema come over to snap a few quick shots of us for our cards. I can’t show the pictures we’re going to use for the cards just yet – but I can share a couple cute ones I snapped of the kids and Anthony!

And since it’s Thanksgiving break, and we’re letting the kids stay up a little late, I thought you could hear from them about our pictures!

Since he’s the oldest, I’ll let Liam go first!

Liam: I like every thing that we did.Mostly how Maddy danced!(She looks like Miranda Consgrove).Even though I am funny I LOVE the pictures. :)

Maddy: I liked everything we did:). Secretly Liam looked like a goblin!Ha just kidding,only his smile did.In some pictures!Anyhow I loved everything we did.I’m so excited  for NEXT year!Bye!:)Happy holidays!!!!!:)
