Alex and Zach- couples session

Does anyone else have the urge to sing "Alex and Zach sitting on in a tree..." :-)

These two, what can I say. Adorable, super sweet, and so loving. It was an absolute pleasure to photographer them in their couples session.

We meet at my new favorite place ( I know I know I am starting to have a lot of those :-). With totally trust they let me pick an empty lot next to a strip mall and apartment complex.... YES. Living in a city you have to get creative. AND I LOVE a hidden gem of a location.

Here are a few of my favorites.

Galina - Graduation

If it's going to rain during and ENTIRE session. You will want it to be with Galina, Evan and their parents.

Galina wanted photos taken the day of graduation, YAY Congratulations!! Her parents can in from Russia and Evans (Galina's man squeeze) can in from new York. BUT it rained THE WHOLE TIME.

Everyone was so sweet and didn't let it faze them at all, and we got some really cute photos from it.

Here are a few of my favorite and I hope one day that we get to shoot again... but when its sunny :-)

Emilee and Jerry Gainesville engagement

Emilee and Jerry are truly one of the best couples I have ever meet and photographed. So natural with one another and... I mean really. Does Emilee have one bone in her body that people just doesn't want to hug and be friends with for the rest of their life?

We originally had to reschedule for rain and then almost got rained out again during our session, but we got lucky, and it waited till we were done.

And I just have to say, I love it when couples can think of meaningful things to incorporate into a session. Like there love for scrabble, there lunch time walks in the park, and Emilee's love for the theater.

Gah soooo cute together... and guys "get a room already ;-)"

Thanks for stopping by Kala Keene Photography blog, Gainesville, Lake City, Ocala Florida and surrounding area Wedding and Portrait photographer. Also servicing and traveling to Los Angeles, Orange County and Las Vegas.

Adri and Rudy Pregnancy Announcement

Oh my gosh how Freaking cute are these two?? I MEAN.

Adrianne contacted me with a surprise :-) she wanted to announce to her friends and family that are not in town for her expecting arrival. I loved the idea, and I couldn't wait to photograph her and Rudy and I most defiantly can not waitto find out what she is having. They are going to be an amazing loving family and I cant wait to be part of it as a friend and capture the moments as a photographer.

We have a fun time at a local Gainesville park one morning trying to catch the sunrise (kinda missed it but still had a blast)

Styled Portrait/wedding session - Gainesville Florida

I had the opportunity to photograph Ann a few weekends ago for part of a styled "bridal" session.
She's gorgeous and has hidden talent to be a model... no joke. she rocked it. Even in hurricane winds :-)

I've known Ann for.... a long time. Lets just say back in our wild and woolly days. I'm so glad she came and modeled for me because I had so much fun photographing her and my little styled shoot that I put together and meeting her better half Mark.

My vision was classic mixed with old. When I first laid eyes on these old Glass bottles I HAD TO HAVE THEM.. So thanks to my sister and a trip to the antique mall, my little vision came together.

Here are a few of my favorites..

Update and sneak peek

Hello Everyone,

A blog post is long over due, and I wanted to at least put a little something on here for the time being.

I will be blogging 2 sessions over the next week or so AND A WEDDING by the end of the month.

This is my first blog in 2013. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Slowly but surely my little business is getting up and going. My website will be done soon. I have a few sessions scheduled and coming up that I cant wait for and of course I will be blogging them. AND WEDDINGS. YAY!! I love wedding. I cant even tell you how amazing it feels when I get wedding inquires. I get a smile that last all day. If I could hug the brides that email me about them I could. I would love to capture the story of every ones big day if I could. LOVE THEM.

Speaking of wedding. I had a wedding on new years day. And since every post is prettier with a photo. There is a a sneak peek from Hillary and Jakes wedding... Be jealous ladies, those are her real eye leashes.

If you know me personally, then you know some of the heartbreak that has fell upon my family and friends recently. So this new years is dedicated to Sweet Holly. She left us way to early and was full of dreams and hopes. 2013 will be a year that I do not let my dreams and hopes stand on the side lines and and not let them pass by.
