Pretty Presets - Kari Smith Photography Children's Photographer, Trafalgar, Indiana

I love using Pretty Presets and tweaking them to fit my images. For this particular image I used "Dazzling" and tweaked the contrast up a bit for a bold look.

Isn't it just the right amount of saturated color for this fall portrait?  Resisting to purchase more of their presets :)

Backlight Portrait - Kari Smith Photography Freetown, Indiana Children's Photographer

Rock the Shot is having a photo contest with backlight portrait. I knew exactly which one I wanted to enter :) This is my baby girl with her beloved old mare. She wanted a picture with her horse and I knew exactly what look I wanted. I love the warmth and light in this image and the love between my girl and her horse.

Till next time,
Kari

I would love to play with these textures!!!!

My Poor Neglected Blog - Kari Smith Photography Newborn Photographer - Freetown, Indiana

Wow - its been a while.... ooops. I have been working on updating the website www.karismithphoto.com to reflect the new sophisticated, chic look that I unveiled in January on my Facebook page. Kinda forgot about this bloggy. :-(

I am looking into hosting on a new format for my blog and having a custom blog address instead of one that has blogspot or wordpress in the address. Trying to decide which is the best route to go right now and I plan to have the new blog up and going by May. Fingers crossed.

Meanwhile - how about a couple sweet little newborns to kick off the 2011 postings???

Baby M - 8 sweet days old

Baby B - 11 days old

Till next time --

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?
