those eyes, that nose, those toes...

This little lady is the daughter of a good friend of mine. I've photographed her older sister as well... both girls are adorable! This one is ALMOST one and is on the move. Kept me on my toes!

Sometimes...

...just sometimes, I can get my own boys to sit still for 5 minutes while I take some shots (ok, well at least one of them... and the lollipop was NOT a bribe!)

The costs of professional photography

Ok, I'm not trying to take an out here by making my post that of someone else's work but I came across this site and encourage everyone to read it. People often look at custom photography as a great expense and well, I guess it is compared to the studio at your local Wal-Mart (although their print prices do add up quickly as well), but they are worlds apart. This site explains the differences and breaks down those costs for you to understand. Check it out here.

A quick note to all fellow facebookers... I just created a Kelly MacDonald Photo • Design page. Click here to view.
Thanks!

Happy Holidays! Just a quick post to show off a couple of things I had printed before Christmas. One is the wall calendar I offer and the other is one of the hard cover books I designed for a client. I've partnered with some great printer/suppliers so I'm excited to add these and other products to my offerings - they'll be on the website soon!

AND THE WINNER IS....

A couple of quick notes - a few Jan/Feb session dates still available but the spring is starting to book up. Please contact me asap if you'd like to book a session.

Also, I need a baby fix and looking for some newborns to shoot : ) I'm offering 50% off the session fee* for the first 2 people who book a January or February newborn shoot (to take place within the baby's first month). Please contact me before the birth and we can arrange a tentative date. The best time for newborn shoots are during the first two weeks. Please spread the word to any pregnant friends or family members (a photo session makes a great baby gift too!)
