Happiest Baby... Easton

Easton was one of my biggest newborn babies to date, weighing in at 9lbs 1oz and he's the happiest baby ever. He made sure to let us know exactly how happy he is by flashing his huge smile every single chance he could. I have never had a newborn smile as much as Easton did. He was a rock star... only waking a couple of times to nurse and go right back to sleep.
Thank you again Jackie and Ben for allowing me to be Easton's newborn photographer, I hope you enjoy your sneak!!

Happy Anniversary Sale & Giveaway

It's here!!... my 1 year anniversary as a successful small business owner :)  It's been an amazing year and as a thank you to all my clients (new and repeat) I want to offer a sale in celebration!! All sessions (with the exception of mini sessions) are on sale for 25% off. Any session that you purchase today/tomorrow will be good till December 31st 2013. As a reminder I will be uping my prices at the beginning of the year so you will definitely want to buy NOW. Some sessions have a very limited number for sale, once they sell out they are gone... please don't hesitate to purchase! Also if you need a cd with your session, (instead of the DropBox digital download) the fee is $10.00, and there is a "cd added to any session" item so you can purchase a cd now if you need to as well. Sale will end when sessions sell out or October 26th at 11:59pm (which ever comes first).
You can view and purchase available sessions at
www.kathrynrenephotography.bigcartel.com

Along with my sale on sessions I am having a session giveaway!!! That's right I am giving away a session for free...no added costs, no hidden fees ;)
You have three ways to gain entrance into the giveaway.

First-- all you have to do is comment on this blog post, no purchase necessary (how easy is that?!!)

Second--SHARE this blog post on FB with all your friends, family , and if you're a business owner, share with your clients..then come back and comment a second time letting me know you shared!

Newborn Colby--- West Michigan Natural Light Newborn Photographer

Meet sweet baby girl Colby. At 8 days old she was pure perfection during her newborn session. She put up with every pose we threw at her and hardly made a peep (and we definitely put her in some doozies). Looking forward to future sessions with this little angel.
Congratulations Jenny and Chad on the birth of your baby girl!

  and loving this Before and After

Newborn Konlee---West Michigan Natural Light Newborn Photographer

I am so glad that Heather decided to go ahead and have a newborn session for her baby girl Konlee. Normally I would say any baby over 3 weeks is too old for a newborn session and Konlee was 7 weeks when she came to the studio. I knew we wouldn't be able to bend and pose her like a brand new baby but we HAD to try! Konlee is still so tiny (barely 7lbs at 7 weeks) and has such a sweet little face. She stole my heart during our session together and you can see from the pictures how in love her parents are.
Enjoy your baby girl Heather and Nate.

Little Landon---West Michigan Natural Light Infant Photographer

I met Landon's mom when she came for a maternity session last summer and I got to meet Landon for a quick session when he was first born so I was excited when his mom scheduled a family session now that he is around 6 months old. It is always so exciting to see how babies have grown/changed and to witness their budding personalities.

Sarah it was wonderful to see you and your family again, and Landon is a lucky little guy to have you and Erik. Hope you guys enjoy your sneak.

Waiting for HER --- West Michigan Natural Light Maternity Photographer

I first met Kristen about 9 months ago while I was working with another photographer and instantly fell in love with her family. You can just tell when you have met great parents, you can see it in how happy the kids are :) Kristen contacted me about doing a maternity session for this baby and I am so glad that she decided to GO FOR IT. Enjoy your sneak Kristen...can't wait to meet your new addition when she arrives.
