Here’s another one of our senior glam sessions! For Katie, we decided on a black lace theme to go with her favorite dress! She’ll be doing her traditional senior portraits with us later this year, but this glam session was a super fun extra session to show off her fun side with long lashes, creative cut lace accenting her face, bright pink lips and fascinator. Katie was such a great model for this senior glam session. We fell in love with her photos immediately! Here’s one of our favorites below! If you want to see more, click here for her full slideshow!

We’re so excited for Memorial Day…why you may ask? Because our pool will be open and that marks the official beginning of our underwater photography season!

This will be our second year offering this crazy, fun, one-of-a-kind session to anyone and everyone! We love it because it’s one of the most challenging and creative types of photography and the images are amazing! Whether it be a senior girl in her prom dress, a senior boy skateboarding on the bottom of the pool, a family who just loves the water, or a dancer in a beautiful pirouette, the underwater perspective is so mesmerizing. It takes a lot of work to capture these images perfectly, but it’s worth it! Amanda suits up with a weight belt and all to steady her as she holds her breathe long enough for our subject to strike the perfect pose. With an expert behind the camera coaching you every step of the way, underwater sessions can be so fun! A chance to do something totally unique!
We always show you the finished images we take, but here’s a behind the scenes look at a few of our underwater sessions!

We can’t wait to capture more underwater moments this summer!

We gave you a quick “before” sneak preview of our latest accessory session we’re offering, but here is one of the “after” photos showing you exactly how much fun Kishel Photography glam sessions can be!

These high fashion, bold new sessions are a fun photo shoot for seniors(or anyone else interested!) to book in addition to their traditional senior portraits. We love to bring out the natural beauty of our seniors in their traditional senior portrait session-But our accessory glam sessions are a fun add on session where we can explore the outrageous and let the fun, crazy, creative and colorful side of our models show! Each session is stylized by Kishel- your hair & make-up done for you. We come up with the concept based on your personality and features, and we design the set uniquely to your specific photo shoot theme. You come and get pampered by our stylists, then just pull out your fun loving personality in front of the camera!

This little sweetie just stole our hearts! We’ve been photographing the Henry family for a few years now and we just love capturing all of the moments as their family grows. Little Halynn is the newest addition to the Henry family! She was so good the entire session…just perfectly cute and perfectly patient with all of the fun little outfits and props we wanted to stage around her! She was a perfect sweetie pie and even posed with her big brother Gibson for a few sweet poses. We’re so glad we got to capture this little newborn and wanted to share one of our favorite images from the session!

Our newest option for those that want it all!! GLAM sessions! We’re so excited about our latest project! It’s a chance to do something totally different! Each GLAM session is stylized by Kishel, hair & make-up done for you….our craziest session to date!! Keep checking back for the official launching of Kishel GLAM sessions! This quick little Instagram is just a sneak peek capturing the “before”….just wait until you see the “after” photos –coming soon!

Every couple wants their wedding day photographs to be perfect. With all of the many aspects of planning you have to juggle to create the perfect wedding day, we thought we’d help by making up a list of tips from the photographer’s perspective that help make better wedding photos.

-We love to photograph your wedding gown on the hanger so make sure your hanger is pretty!

–Make sure flower girls and ring bearers get their naps! Don’t have them show up until they are needed for the pictures (schedule their pictures as close to ceremony time as possible). We have had so many little cuties zonk out just before the ceremony and miss their big debut down the aisle because of how worn out they are from the day’s excitement.

-If you’re traveling in the car in your wedding gown, wrap yourself in a white sheet and keep it handy for pictures in case you are outside and need to sit for a photo.

-If you’re wedding is outside and you’ll be walking in grass, get some “Solemates“!

-A lot of brides and bridesmaids naturally hold their bouquets up high by their bust line when walking down the aisle, but be sure to remember to hold your bouquet down by your midsection instead. It looks so much better in wedding photos if you don’t cover the top of your dress, and works better with proportions to hold it lower!

-Another flower tip–make sure you talk with your maid of honor about remembering to take your bouquet once you’re up with your groom saying your wedding vows, and exchanging the rings. You wouldn’t believe how many people forget and it makes it awkward for you to try to juggle both!

-Walk SLOWLY down the aisle…this gives not only the photographer time to capture your walk down the aisle, but it gives the guests a chance to take in the moment and see the details about how stunning you look!

-Smile more! The moment you’ve been dreaming of has finally arrived! You will likely feel a little anxious, but try to take deep breathes throughout the day and relax to enjoy the moments!

-Remember to eat and stay hydrated! Especially now that we’re fast approaching the warmer season…can’t have a bride passing out on her big day!

-Show your love….a wedding photographer’s favorite thing is to have a couple who genuinely shows their love all day long. So remember to look at each other often, show off your feelings for each other-if there ever was a time for PDA, your wedding day is the day! And stay together at the reception…Spend time visiting with family and friends together, eat together, and of course, dance with each other!

Most importantly, remember to have fun, don’t worry about the small things and remember what the day is really about!

One of our favorite times of the year is when spring fades into summer and the warm weather and sunshine is finally here! You know what this means for a photography studio like Kishel Photography? We get to do one of the most creative types of sessions we offer-underwater sessions! We’re so excited to be in our second year of underwater photography sessions! Although it’s chilly now, summer will be here before you know it and we’ll be booking sessions like crazy with the warm weather drawing everyone outside for all types of sessions…and no doubt many will take place in the pool!
We love to be creative, and we love meeting people who are daring and want to take the plunge into the under water world with us. Down there, it’s the most ethereal and stunning world for portraits.
Here are some favorites from last year!
We have so much fun with all types of seniors who want to take the plunge!
Not only are our underwater portrait sessions perfect for swimmers and lifeguards, but also brides…don’t worry, it didn’t ruin the dress at all!
Underwater photography is just a way to spice up your photo shoot no matter who you are!
        We even have special waterproof makeup that stays on throughout the session…
Stay tuned this season for some family underwater session photos as well!

We’ll be booking underwater portrait sessions soon!
