		<description><![CDATA[Woo hoo! For Olivia&#8217;s senior session I got to try out one of my new backgrounds from Serendipity Backgrounds. I was so excited because the background worked perfectly with her skin and hair tones not to mention her eyes sparkled like mad! (Jody from Makeup Savvy rocked out her makeup, as usual) Olivia has been in dance since she was little so she brought all her dance costumes to use in a couple of the photos. Let me tell ya, those sparkly costumes sure do make a pretty awesome background! Want to see more images from Olivia&#8217;s amazing session? Check &#8216;em out here! Pin it]]></description>

So why not kick things off with some images from a wonderful wedding I photographed back home in Clarion, Iowa. Now there are three kinds of brides: super high maintenance and have a photo list a mile long, middle of the road who have an idea of images they want, and the laid back bride that is there to just enjoy her day and let&#8217;s the photographer do whatever she wants. Amanda is the third type of bride, SUPER laid back. Ever since day one of working with her she was like &#8220;do whatever you want.&#8221; When we designed her invitations she gave me some direction and let me go to town to create something fantastic for them. When we did the engagement session, she let me chose which outfits and which locations to photograph at. And the wedding day was no different. She gave me four family groups we had to get then let me do my thing the rest of the day. I kept asking her &#8220;are you SURE there&#8217;s no certain shots you want?&#8221; [...]]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well I decide it&#8217;s high time I updated my blog since I haven&#8217;t been all that on top of it the last month. So why not kick things off with some images from a wonderful wedding I photographed back home in Clarion, Iowa.</p>
<p>Now there are three kinds of brides: super high maintenance and have a photo list a mile long, middle of the road who have an idea of images they want, and the laid back bride that is there to just enjoy her day and let&#8217;s the photographer do whatever she wants. Amanda is the third type of bride, SUPER laid back. Ever since day one of working with her she was like &#8220;do whatever you want.&#8221; When we designed her invitations she gave me some direction and let me go to town to create something fantastic for them. When we did the engagement session, she let me chose which outfits and which locations to photograph at. And the wedding day was no different. She gave me four family groups we had to get then let me do my thing the rest of the day. I kept asking her &#8220;are you SURE there&#8217;s no certain shots you want?&#8221; and her reply always was always &#8220;whatever you want to do.&#8221; It&#8217;s kind of nice every once in awhile to have a wedding that is super laid back.</p>
<p>And so, without further ado&#8230;here are some of my favorite images from Amanda &amp; Josh&#8217;s wedding. OH and if you were a guest, the full set of images from the wedding day are now online for you to view! Just <a title="Kristina Lynn Photography &amp; Design Website" href="http://kristinalynnphoto.com/onlineproofing/index.php?do=photocart&amp;viewGallery=10046" target="_blank">click here </a>and refer to the cards that were handed out at the wedding with the access code printed on them, or <a href="mailto:kristina@kristinalynnphoto.com" target="_blank">drop me an email </a>and I can send the code to you as well.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Well it&#8217;s officially here&#8230;.the year of 2010. Not quite sure how 2009 managed to slip by so fast, but it did! Seems like just yesterday I was filling out the paper work and getting ready to start my business &#8211; and now here we are, almost a year later. I want to thank all my wonderful clients and blog followers for making my first year in business a success. I am truly looking forward to the upcoming year and what it all has in store for the studio. I&#8217;m currently working on updating the website with new images and information (and maybe even a new look&#8230;we shall see!), working on new, unique products to offer my clients, and also taking time to learn new techniques to improve my photography. If you&#8217;d like to keep in touch and up-to-date on the new things at Kristina Lynn Photography &#38; Design, sign up for our newsletter and subscribe to our blog. Hope you had a wonderful holiday season with your family. And I hope to see you in the studio soon! Pin it]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve had the pleasure of getting to know Jennifer through the Greater Stillwater Chamber of Commerce, where she holds the position of Executive Director. After seeing some of the images from my Limited Edition sessions, she decided it would be fun to book a session for her and her boyfriend Ray. So after some gentle persuasion Ray gave in to the idea, under one condition&#8230;.he could wear his hat in some of the images I&#8217;d say that&#8217;s some good negotiating, for both parties! The day of the shoot turned out to be a sunny, semi-decent Saturday (which were few and far between this year!). The morning was nice a sunny but then a light layer of clouds rolled in for the early afternoon shoot, creating fantastic lighting. Good timing Mother Nature! We trucked around Axdahl&#8217;s Garden Farm, doing some of the standard posed shots and some fun action shots as well. Oh and you can&#8217;t forget our rendition of American Gothic that Jennifer and Ray acted out in the barn. What a fun session! Here are some of my favorite images from this Limited Edition session and stop by my Facebook Page to see some more! Thanks Jennifer and Ray [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last Saturday afternoon, after completing some much needed tasks at the studio, I ventured out in the cold to experience HarvestFest 2009 in downtown Stillwater. This is an annual event, filled with family fun events (such as the kiddie tractor pull), chili cook-off, beer tasting and the ever popular Pumpking Weigh-off. I&#8217;ve NEVER seen pumpkins this huge before! They were all over Lowell Park and some had come great distances to be there. I missed out on most of the activities of the day (darn responsibilities!) but was there for the great pumpkin drop. They hoisted a massive 1300 lb. pumpkin about 5 stories up in the air then dropped it to the ground. I&#8217;ve never seen a pumpkin smash like that before! I was quite a ways back, behind the safety fence they had set up, and STILL got nailed with some flying pumpkin goo. It was a pretty cool site to see! Here&#8217;s some of the photos from the day. If you&#8217;d like to see all of the images (including the ones from the great pumpkin drop!), check out my online proofing. Pin it]]></description>

I missed out on most of the activities of the day (darn responsibilities!) but was there for the great pumpkin drop. They hoisted a massive 1300 lb. pumpkin about 5 stories up in the air then dropped it to the ground. I&#8217;ve never seen a pumpkin smash like that before! I was quite a ways back, behind the safety fence they had set up, and STILL got nailed with some flying pumpkin goo. It was a pretty cool site to see! Here&#8217;s some of the photos from the day. If you&#8217;d like to see all of the images (including the ones from the great pumpkin drop!), check out <a title="Kristina Lynn Photography &amp; Design online proofing" href="http://www.kristinalynnphoto.com/onlineproofing" target="_blank">my online proofing</a>.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Despite all the increase in workload, I LOVE senior season! I love meeting the teens, learning all about them, and finding new, fun and exciting places to photograph them. Places that really capture who they are. When I met with Amanda to discuss what she was looking for in her senior photos, she said she didn&#8217;t really want to do the urban scene but did want photos outdoors. Since a couple of her other friends had recently come in and wanted nature/outdoor/etc. I wanted to find something different for her. A couple months ago I had photographed a house for Cates Fine Homes here in Stillwater which was located in a newer development in Bayport. I remember there being a bike path through some tall grassy, prairie like area. I knew that would be a good location, especially at the time of day Amanda was coming in, but I also wanted to find some bright colorful flowers. Washington Park provided the perfect blend of colorful flowers that created a fabulous background. I knew while I was photographing Amanda that her images were going to turn out awesome&#8230;and I was right!!! Did I mention that I love my job?! Pin it]]></description>
