PSA's - Kari Smith Photography - Freetown, Indiana Photographer

(Warning - long post! Hey I've got alot to update you on!)

Hey everyone! Well, the holidays are official upon us. With Thanksgiving just a couple days away, the hustle and bustle of the season begins. I am actually in the spirit this season! I already made a new swag for our front door and its already up. Probably will put up our tree and other decorations on Friday.

What's that you say? No Black Friday shopping? NO WAY! I really don't enjoy the crowds and the non-existent deals.  I have gone a couple of times only to be disappointed when the 1 thing I wanted was already gone, like 5 minutes after the doors opened.

SOOOOOO------ how about I offer you some deals that won't be gone 5 minutes after 5am? Like that? I know I do!!

Thanksgiving Weekend Flyer

I will have a special that runs Thursday through Sunday that are really great deals for reprints from your session. The only catch is that they cannot be used in conjunction with each other. You knew there's be fine print didn't you?

Kari Smith Photography Black Friday special will run from 12:01 am  to 11:59 pm Friday. These deals will be good for future sessions that take place in 2011. Think of it as advanced investing :)


AND....... my cyber monday special will rock your socks!!! That's all I 'm gonna say about that! :)

 The Black Friday and Cyber Monday Deals will be available for purchase right from my website. The pages will go live at 12:01 am on each respective morning.

The fine print is on each page, so make sure you check it out before you purchase.

In other news - The deadline to order to ensure you recieve it before Christmas is December 11th. Of course I will let you order after that, but there will be a "fine" for your procrastination! LOL - but seriously - there will be a charge.


Have you been keeping up with the Countdown to Christmas Specials I have been posting on here? If not - shame on you!! Head on over and be a fan, then you can keep up with all the goings on at Kari Smith Photography. You should be following here too -ya know! just at the bottom, click follow.


 Wow - if your still here - you must really love me! How about a picture to wrap it all up?

G-pa and his little buckaroo

Such a sweet memory for this family!!!

Before and After Thursday - Kari Smith Photography -Columbus, Indiana Child Photographer

This weeks Before and After is an image of my daughter that I took as part of her pictures for her 3rd birthday. This session was an urban setting in downtown Columbus, Indiana. Columbus has so many cool little places tucked away in its alleys. Love going there and discovering new places to shoot.

Miss M - Kari Smith Photography - Brown County, Indiana Childrens Photographer

Sweet little Miss M was such a little stinker for her session. She would only smile when I put down my camera. At 7 months, she already knew what my plan was :). I still managed to get some sweet pictures of her.

The layout shown is for the custom accordion album I offer to each of my clients after each of their sessions. They are a great gift for grandparents and a really cool and hip brag book for mommies.

The W Family - Kari Smith Photography - Brown County Indiana Family & Children's Photographer

I had the opportunity to photograph this adorable little family. These two boys kept me laughing the entire shoot. Mr Serious and Mr Crack-up. So much fun.
Their mom chose to have their session at Brown County State Park. The leaves are falling and the ground is covered in a beautiful blanket of orange, reds, and browns.The park has so many little gems tucked away that most would never see as a great backdrop for pictures.

Abbie - Senior Slide Show- Kari Smith Photography - Columbus, Indiana Senior Photographer

I had the opportunity to photograph Miss Abbie a couple weeks ago. Abbie is a beautiful young lady and talented athlete. Abbie runs cross country and her team is nationally ranked - quite and accomplishment. She has a state championship ring that we showcased.

We decided on a mixed shoot, urban and natural and downtown Columbus, Indiana is the perfect place to find both.  So much fun discovering new locations and hidden gems tucked away in downtown areas. Can't wait till my next session in Columbus!

The Z Family - Kari Smith Photography - Columbus, Indiana Family Photographer

The Z family came to Columbus downtown to meet me for a cool urban session. This session was so fun for everyone. Rachel is expecting her first little girl so a few baby bump shots were in order. We ventured around downtown Columbus a bit then went on a search for a little green - which is no small feat in the dry weather we have been having around here. We finally found a gorgeous little courtyard and a nice open green space for a great natural family portrait.

The S Family - Kari Smith Photography - Columbus, Indiana Family Photographer

I had the opportunity to photograph this adorable family at the family farm in southern Bartholomew County. This family has the cutest little boys and boy do they love their grandad's tractor! The awe once the tractor arrived was great!

Thanks again S Family!!!

My Baby....... Kari Smith Photography - Childrens Photographer - South Central Indiana

I was playing around the other day to get a few images to show my work flow to a fellow photographer. Usually, as most photographers know, shoots with your own children don't always yield the best of images. I got pretty lucky this time around. :)

My baby wanted her Cinderella Barbie to be in the shoot with her. This image completely captures her in this stage of her life. She is enamored with all things Cinderella, I love the way she is cradling the doll against her.
I had this image printed on my new product offering, the lariat style necklace, because I love it so much!

I will be back later with those Storyboards I promised to show you.

Sweet little guys! - Kari Smith Photography - Child Photographer - Morgantown, Indiana

These two little guys braved the heat with me last week for a quick photo shoot. They are so cute! Mom did a great job picking out some vibrant colors for their shirts!

The oldest started playing for the camera and making funny faces. I just had to make them into a storyboard - so cute!

Storyboards are a great way to showcase 3-4 of the pictures together from your session. I will post more examples later of how I incorporate your images into a storyboard. The storyboards measure 10x20 and can either come mounted for stability or unmounted. Both options are frame ready.
