Testimonials: Caleb

Here is my 1st testimonial back from the photo shoot with Caleb. The parents loved the photos and gave me this info to post online and to use to help gain clients.

I would LOVE some feedback on what you think.

Something I know I wanted to do was include photos from the shoot. Also the green for the name on the parents is from the green grass in the background of the photos.

Lodi Grape Festival photo contest winner

I won the contest and my photo is on the cover of the Lodi Grape Festival pullout.

Inside it has my name for the "cover photo" and a page with ten other photos (three of which are mine) inside the pullout.

I'm so excited I won. I plan to attend the festival on Sunday so I'll post some photos on my other blog. Also to come are Disneyland photos, which will be posted on both blogs.

Senior portraits: Page

I shot some senior portraits today at the lake during sunset.

And next to the tree.

I made my brother (who was helping with the lighting) make her laugh, while staring off in the distance.
Just thought this was a little cute with the sun setting and the shot didn't get enough light so I chose to change it up.
My brother (Jonathan) helping with the lighting.

And we ended with some hair slinging fun.

Engagement test shoot

I went out to the lake with my brother and his girl to do some test shots of some of engagements ideals I've had and seen.

I thought about shooting during sunset at the lake after a evening bike ride near the nature trail at the lake.
This one (on top) was taken in the back of the lake the sun had set. I loved to addition of the long-grass stuff right behind the couple.

Action shoot: Jonathan

Not too long ago I went on a bike ride with my brother and Jewels and we ended up at the local skate park. Since school had just started up again no one was there skating. We played around on some of the little ramps then Jonathan started skidding on some of the spots so I thought to take some pictures.

This could also be used for a location for senior portraits for a male or female skater.

I also played around with location of my name in the photograph.

New name + 2nd blog

I changed the name to this blog: "KarynLynne Photography" and added a second blog "Monkey Love" (monkeylove1414.blogspot.com).

This one is going to be the more professional blog with photos of sessions and events I shoot, where the new blog will have inner thoughts of mine and much more. It will be more of a fun blog and just random jots to get me back into writing.

On a side note:

I have been in talks with doing some events in the near future and a senior portrait session.

Inside the Woodside Homes

I went out the other day to Woodside Homes and took shots of three of the model homes.


This was my absolute favorite of the day. This is the master bedroom. You can see the bed in the back, that the bedroom. Then the bathroom. The tiny doorway to the left is a tiny area with a toilet. Then there's bathtub on the right and the double sink on the right. I'm standing in the WALK IN CLOSET, which was hella big. I would LOVE a closet that large.


Here's the "Cowboy Room." These weren't named rooms, I just named them according to the look of the room. There was a cowboy hat on the bench to the left -- I had some fun with the hat.


The "Biker Room." One of the other faves. of the name. I went into the closet of them room and squatted down low to get the shot.


The "Rocker Room." This room was a little different than all the rest. The bed was set from the corner of the room. I thought it was so cute.


That same master bedroom, again from the closet.


View from the stairs. These homes were soooo big. Would love to live in one of these homes.


The "Sailor Room." The whole house was themed ocean, sails, shells and blue.
Here's two shots of "Wine and Roses" room where wedding receptions take place.

I snuck (is that a word?) a peek into the ballroom where wedding receptions take place and I loved the natural lighting in here. Too bad it was more decorated, but still pretty.
