Here's one for all you dads out there! This little guy's daddy had an awesome Corvette, so how could we not incorporate dad's "other" baby into his photo shoot? I could totally see this shot on Dad's office or game room wall, or in the little boy's room, themed with everything "car". We're looking at getting this published in the Corvette Club magazine.

So happy father's day!

Well, the workshop was a success! I was getting a little nervous for a while there, with the not so nice looking forecast (scattered STRONG storms) and my not having taught something like this before. But, it all worked out! It stayed nice outside right until we were wrapping up our outdoor shooting. I was taking a couple final shots of our last model when the rain started coming down. Talk about timing! Anyway, thanks to everyone who came. You were all so easy going, asked lots of questions, basically making it easy for me to pull this workshop off. So thanks! Another thanks goes to all of our BEAUTIFUL models! Just scroll down and you'll know what I mean. Every last one of them was just stunning. Some of these models are with Arquette Agency, so if you're a scout who just happens to be browsing my site, you can find em there! One more thanks to my MOMMY! She happily put together the lunch trays, and generously volunteered to be the babysitter for Nina, all day and all night. So thanks mom! Now that I feel like I just won an emmy with all the thanking I'm doing, I'll let you see some pictures. Check out the Papparazzi all around this little cutie, lol!

Here are just a few favorites from my latest newborn session. This little girl was so dainty and sweet. I had a great time photographing her. There were so many images that I just loved of her, but I can't put them all on here so here are a few that moved me. Now I'm off to make sure everything's ready for my workshop tomorrow! Wish me luck!

I photographed this little beauty a few weeks ago for the second time. Boy has she changed since her first birthday! She looks like such a big girl now, and not quite a baby. Isn't she just a gorgeous little girl though? I have a feeling she'll be quite the heartbreaker in 15 years!

Guess what??!! After working on it for what seemed like forever, I am now able to introduce a new website for all my children and family portrait work! The porfolio images are bigger, and I've added quite a few new images, so go check it out! www.kariphotography.com/portraits.

And since I can't create a post without some images attached, here is a cute little guy I got to photograph last week at my downtown Minneapolis studio. Enjoy!
