Updated tabs

Hey I've made some small updates to my tabs so go ahead and check those out... but really if you want to see more of what I'm about follow @Glowingphotos on twitter or look at my facebook page Glowing Photography

What's in a Name

Someone recently asked me, " Why Glowing Photography? Why not Shideler's Shutters, Kara's Camera, or KS Photography?" I thought about it and while it is somewhat appealing for my business to obviously bare my name I had a bit of an "ah ha" moment. Photography for me is more about what I'm taking pictures of than the fact it is me taking them. I want to capture those "glowing moments" take as an example one of my first business banners; what is more glowing than a perfect baby belly? 
The image is from one of the very first professional shoots that I did, an inspiring experience.





What started as a desire to express the beauty of "Glowing" new mom's quickly and easily translated into newborn photography and then back to my first camera wielding experiences in wedding photography. Again I was struck by the profound beauty of the moments and the expressions of love. It was immortalizing these moments of love and human interaction that really drove me to seek out more business. It was also not lost on me that the word glowing has a reference to light- the media by which photography is possible. So there is my answer! That's why Glowing Photography and not anything else.

Things to do in the month of June

June was a busy month here's a sample of what we were up to!



Glowing welcomed a new member :) That's my baby goo!



I guess you could say we added 2 new members :P





We also headed out all together for a photo taking good time in Southern Alberta. July is also shaping up to be a busy month...looking forward to baby and belly shoots as well as a few more shoots for the fun of it :D

Mel's Maternity

I love babies and I looove baby bellies!!! There is nothing quite as adorable as a couple in love with a "bun in the oven". I'm grateful for the experience to peak in on the beautiful moments in people's lives and help them capture them and remember them forever. I can't wait to meet this little guy for his newborn session :)

New Years

So I don't really believe in New Years resolutions because I think if there is something you need to change in your life you should change it as soon as you notice it and not wait for the new year. That being said the new year is an obvious time to rethink plans and look for new projects. 2011 promisses to be an exciting year for Glowing Photography. We'll likley be moving house and so my home based studio will be coming with me and my fingers are crossed for a bigger and better space. I'm thankful for my returning and new clients who have a full host of projects lined up for me this year. The Glowing Photography team will be growing this year as well :) and for the later third of the year photography may fill more of my schedule than it did this year. I'm going to try and do a "Photo of the Month" post for every month and if you read this post I would LOVE you to make some comments on the blog.
So welcome 2011- let's bring it on!!!
