Photo 2: With the nice weather I opened the windows in the studio… I look over to see Haley trying to get as close to said window without falling off the couch.

Photo 3: A spread of my photography in BRAVA Magazine‘s April issue!

Photo 4: BRAVA Magazine gifts all their freelance photographers an ad once a year. Mine ran in the April issue!

Photo 5: Our house is a busy place with Josh hosting music lessons and me conducting my in-home photography studio. I made this sign so I can welcome his students into the house without having to drop my work to go answer the doorbell. I figure this will be particularly necessary when we have a dozing baby! You wake the baby, you die! Just kidding.

Photo 6: I also made this palette board map art this weekend. Since we can’t paint our walls in our apartment I wanted to get the baby’s colors incorporated into our space somehow!

Photo 7: An attempt at a prego selfie (31 weeks pregnant). All you folks who have mastered the prego selfie, I don’t know how you do it! I find it very troublesome standing sideways while holding the camera in a place that won’t block anything and still manage to snap the picture without dropping my phone…

Wedding Rack Card

Posted on April 11, 2014 by Kaia Calhoun

I connected with The Armory in Janesville and am now one of their featured wedding photographers! I chose to connect with this venue in particular because I love the charm of the brick, historic building and I simply won’t beat the proximity to my home!

This new connection meant I needed to get some materials printed for them to put in the folders they give their couples. I chose this simple card as to give these couples the eye candy and some basic information without overwhelming them. The idea is that if they like what they see on the card they will inquire with questions or to book me for their wedding.

Bring it on The Armory brides and grooms! Looking forward to connecting with you!

Ok! I think I’m finally ready to get crackalakin’ at my “a Photo a Day” again! With the weather getting warmer I’m feeling much more inspired 🙂 And remember, if you have any subject requests or ideas I would love to hear them!

MONDAY Megan + Josh’s Valentines MINI session

TUESDAY My Grandma Lu passed away about a year ago… at TJMAX I found these and couldn’t help but think of her and buy them promptly. Her favorite candies were lemon drops and her last name was Hammond. They happen to also be the most tasty lemon drops I have ever consumed!

WEDNESDAY I love having Sunshine Albums arrive at my doorstep! This beauty will hang out in the studio for a year before I send it off to the clients for their one year anniversary 🙂

THURSDAY Another album came into the studio this week. This one was a Soft Cover Album of a series of baby photos I took of little Anna. Love the way it turned out! These albums are a beautiful, yet affordable option.

FRIDAY I’m trying to grow at avacado tree! I now have three seeds going hoping any or all of them give me a sprout 🙂 If I do get some greenery you will be seeing the growth progress in photos!

SATURDAY Went off house hunting with my parents all day! Our afternoon treat: Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. Best caramel apples in the world!

SUNDAY Took a lazy Sunday morning with the family and the pups watching a new Disney favorite of mine, Frozen.
