Valentine’s Gift Idea… Photography!

Posted on February 10, 2015 by Kaia Calhoun

I am offering my Valentine’s MINI sessions again this year! This annual MINI session offering is such a hit I simply have to keep it going!

MINI session ideas:

Couples: give your love the gift of some photos of the two of you!
Kids: a chance to get the kids on camera for a very affordable price. A great gift from the kids or a spouse.
Boudoir: a great Valentine’s gift for your guy! Best ways to give the photos: an album or a print for his bedside table.

DETAILS

$50 for a 20 minute session at the studio
10 – 20 edited high resolution images on a disc
Two options for use: get your session in before vday to give the finished pics as a gift OR purchase the session as a gift card to give on vday.

a Photo a Day | Aug 18 – 24

A full Week in Photos!

I sure have been busy! I got to do a family/newborn/baby shoot, a senior portraits session, and did 2-month-old photos of Maisy. We also went to a Brewers game with Josh’s parents! Basically, the week was full of photo fun and some newness with Maisy – I finally got her pathetically adorable frown on camera and she tried out the Bumbo this week and loved it!

an engagement session with a little bit of rain and a brilliant evening glow (Hannah + Austin are engaged!) – Janesville wedding photography

Posted on June 12, 2014 by Kaia Calhoun

First of all, I apologize for the excess of images in this post. Obviously I had too much fun with Hannah + Austin. But, I promise they are all worth it!

Hannah + Austin are dear friends of mine. Turns out, I have the honor of standing next to this beauty on her wedding day! For their wedding gift I gave an engagement session and boy am I glad I did! Not only do I love getting the opportunity to photograph friends but this session couldn’t have been more perfect! The evening light and these two were so gorgeous I didn’t stop photographing for over 2 hours. There is also something beautiful about doing photography for free every now and then. It’s like I have a sort of release and my creative juices actually flow freer because I feel unabashed in asking for outrageous things – like having them climb up into the under workings of a train bridge or myself climbing up into a tree. This session was so wonderful because I had driven past these photo spots so many times I was dying to use them, I got to work with two creatives (they are both musicians and Hannah is also a photographer), and you can’t beat an evening glow under a little bit of weather! I mean, come one, the first shots look like we did our session somewhere in Ireland. Just downtown Janesville folks!

Hannah + Austin, I had such a blast with you two creating these images and I can’t wait for your big day! Whoot whoot!

June Newsletter

Posted on June 6, 2014 by Kaia Calhoun

Hey friends! It’s time for my June newsletter. Keeping you in the loop is just what I do!

Update #1: Newsletters will probably never make it out on the first of the month. I’ve realized I don’t want to interrupt my blogging routine (Saturday & Sunday off, Monday “a Photo a Day,” Tuesday photography, Wednesday Words, Thursday photography, Friday free for all) so that means my newsletters will be featured on the blog the Friday after the first of every month.

Talk of the Town.

Last month I was selected to be on TV with Talk of the Town. First time being on TV and it wasn’t too terrifying! Hopefully I’ll have a link to the interview soon!

BRAVA Magazine.

Sometimes I do freelance photography for publications. I’ve been freelancing for BRAVA Magazine since October and am featured on their cover for the second time this month.

CLICK HERE to see the full blog post featuring the cover and all of my other appearances throughout this month’s issue.

Wedding Season.

This is it! I will now be seeing weddings in my every waking moment and even in my dreams! Starting June 22 I become a sort of wedding hopper. Every Saturday I have the privilege of photographing beautiful couples on their big, big days… and then I get to eat their food and cake and maybe even dance a little 🙂 It’s a good life. Tiring, but very good! To book me, shoot me an email at asunshinemoment@gmail.com – subject line “wedding photography” please.

Attention High School Seniors.

Calling all high school seniors! There is still time to book your session with me! Better hurry though because time flies and I get packed quickly. I absolutely love senior portrait photography. I love that I get to work with young adults in such a cool time in their life when the world is at their finger tips and they are reaching out to seize it! I am a unique photographer in that it is my sole goal to photograph the uniqueness in you! I work throughout the session to choose poses and spots that better showcase what you love and who you are. I even welcome family and friends into the shots if you like. Contact me at asunshinemoment@gmail.com (subject line “senior portrait photography” please) to get more info about booking me for your session. A note of warning, only contact me if you want to have fun during your portrait session!

Citizen Way on tour with Mercy Me.

Every tour my husband finds himself on it is my goal to make it to at least one show. This tour, the closest they got to me was Brunswick, OH… 7.5 hours away. So, at 36 weeks pregnant I hopped in a car with my mom and we road-tripped it out there! What a great show! CLICK HERE to read about it and see the photos I took at the concert.

Buying a Home.

Still haven’t closed on our house but we’ve been dreaming up the place like crazy! Our apartment is sufficiently packed up and we’re ready to go! now we’re just waiting for our June 16 closing date! To read more about the specifics of how huge of a blessing this is check out my blurb about it from my May Newsletter.

Having a baby.

I am 39 weeks pregnant and this little buddy is hanging on! With a move on (or before) June 16, a due date of June 11, and wedding photography season hitting full force starting June 22 I am in for one crazy month!

Tata for now!
