What if family + Engagement PORTRAITS were fun?
(giggles and 'this was a great idea!' Comments included)
Stay with me now.
What if, during your portrait session you did stuff that you LOVE?
Like picnicking in front of the Eiffel Tower, baking cupcakes on a Saturday afternoon, or exploring a new city...
It's time to give the 80s back their classic version of the awkward family portrait with everyone attempting to smile (you know the ones I'm talking about).
WE make art where you are the feature story.
We believe that family portraits don't belong lost on a hard drive.
They belong displayed over the mantle or in a beautiful handmade album so both today and 20 years down the road, your family knows the kind of love they come from.
"Hi Katie
The albums are so gorgeous! Everyone at Emerson's graduation party was raving over how beautiful they are. The albums are very impressive. I am so glad that we configured the images into 2 books.
I am elated that we had you take our pictures in Paris, it is a memory that I will cherish forever, and now we have wonderful albums to help us commemorate those moments.
Thank you so much!
- Sharon"

"Hey Katie!! I got the album last Thursday and I haven't even gotten a chance to write to you because I've been too busy showing it to friends and family! Thank you so much :). Saying that I loved it is an understatement. You did and amazing job on it and you're an incredible photographer! You helped me keep the memory of my trip in a beautiful way.

Katie Donnelly, Founder of KDP
Happy. Emotional. Natural. Authentic. Posed. Not posed. Fun. Light. Energetic. Sweet. Giggly. Stress-free. Family. Confident. Stylish. Glowing.
During your photo session, above all, we should have fun. If you're having fun and I'm having fun, we can get photos with lots of emotion, lots of laughter, REAL expressions and of course tons of creativity.
I want your real personality. If you're more quiet, or loud, or a joker, or calm, or crazy… be THAT. Each session is different because you are unique! Don't be afraid because you see some people jumping or kissing in our photos and that's not you. It's okay! That was THEM. We want to celebrate who you are.
I'm a chatterbox. I ask tons of questions and always have something to say. During photo sessions half the time I'm making (bad) jokes or comparing recent travels with our clients. It always seems like we have a ton in common: travel, food, movies, funny stories, art. There is never a dull moment.
You've got kids? Bring them! I absolutely LOVE kids. Even the crazy ones! Kids are effortlessly weird and that's AWESOME. There's no hiding what they want to do and when they want to do it. It brings a whole new dimension to the session. PS. Who doesn't love playing with bubbles and running around having pretend sword fights?
If I'm your kind of girl and you're looking for a high end experienced photographer to capture the personality of your family, love, or BUSINESS (We do work with businesses!) go ahead and drop me a line at katie@katiedonnellyphotography.com ... I can't wait to hear from you!
One last thing, Je parle Français couramment aussi alors n’hésitez pas à me contacter pour votre séance photo de famille, de bébé ou de votre business!
