ORTING KIDS PHOTOGRAPHY

Dear Mom & Dad,

            It's okay that little Susie and Ben are busy children.  It's okay that they are active.  It's also okay that they make silly faces and like to dance around and sing songs.  A good photographer will engage your Susie or Ben and they will work as hard as possible to get the beautiful images  you desire.  Just remember we need you to also be willing to make those one day exceptions. For instance "when you act like a good boy or girl we get to go to 'such and such' (possibly the park) after photos". 
            The hardest ages to photograph are two through four.  Remember to tell your childrens photographer a little about your child before coming.  Tell us what kind of activities they like so we can engage in convorsation with them.  Does your child like sports? princesses? dolls? coloring? animals? favorite colors?  As a kids photographer and a business owner I want to learn all about your little Susie or Ben before they come so we can make it the smoothest shoot for the photographer, mom, and dad or whoever happens to be the one bringing the child. 
Sincerely,

This cute little girl loves to dance and loves to strike a pose.  We got her excited doing all kinds of fun dance moves and poses.  She also loves to pur on her mommies makeup and dress up.  Can you tell?

ORTING FAMILY PHOTOS

There is nothing that I enjoy more than "that time of year again".  The time of the year when you wake up to crisp air, sun shining, and red and orange colors all around you.  I am such a sucker for fall.  It's the time of year when most families get their photographs in place for Christmas cards and they all run around looking for great deals because we all know Christmas is around the corner and it's getting more expensive every year.  I recently made sure I had my family photographed to update that yearly photo and this time we've expanded to a family of four.

Family photography is such a passion of mine and it's so important to make the time for it. 
This is the adorable Womback family and their cute little guy.  Make sure to book a photo session and enjoy a family photography shoot of your own. Katie Tyree Photography has specials running for mini sessions up to 5 people for October 20th.  Email Katie Tyree Photography to get the scoop

I believe we sometimes come unprepared for the worst especially when it comes to weather.  My 11/11/11 wedding this year with an amazing couple was almost a disaster, but the smart bride was ready for the worst and made sure to bring umbrellas.  All of the umbrellas were rented from a very popular company in Seattle, WA called Bella Umbrella and they have the most amazing umbrellas.  My bride wanted simple and went for their classic clear which was helpful to let lots of light in on such a truly drap colored day in Washington.  It's often so gray here even in the spring time and sometimes summer that the color from their other umbrellas on a light or over cast day makes a photograph pop so much!

NEWBORN PHOTOS + HOW MUCH TIME YOU NEED


Recently I had the joy of photographing a few newborns.  It is one of my favorite categories in photography.  The joy of a new life that has been waiting for over nine months to join us and what a blessing it is when they arrive and we get to hold them.  In all of this busy-ness I recently realized that I had the same question in two emails about a newborn session.
QUESTION?:   Is there any way we can get this newborn shoot done in an hour? Both future customers asking if what they read was true about needing more than just an hour to do this kind of photo session.
ANSWER?:  Yes!  You do need to set aside more than an hour for a newborn session.  It would be amazing to get finished in just one hour, but that would be one very happy little client with a lot of patience.  The reason why you need more than an hour and how long should we set aside for a your newborn to get photographed?  You need to set aside a good three, yes three, hours to have your beautiful bundle photographed.  It takes a very special environment to keep your baby happy while undressed and it takes just the right amount of soothing and nurturing.  If you rush your baby you will have bad results.  They will not be able to completely calm down and be put into the positions you always see and love.  I wish it was that simple, but mommas and papas...  have some patience and expect to spend a minimum of two hours and more than likely around three hours. 



I'll touch up in my next blog about some things you should bring for your baby or wear in order to get the results you are craving from your newborn shoot.

ORTING BIRTH PHOTOGRAPHY
















Being a photographer and a mom is so exciting because I get to share my experience WITH YOU!  After being 8 days over due my water broke.  It was not something every woman gets to experience, but it is definately an exciting one.  At 4:30am in our home in Orting, WA I woke up and realized i had leaked a bit and thought well... it must be from the baby kicking my bladder.  Little did I know my water had broke.  Again and again it continued to happen.  We went to the Good Samaritan Hospital in Puyallup, WA and my doctor met us there.  She confirmed it was my water that broke and they immediately started me on Petocin which induces labor.  My labor unfortunately didn't start on its own.  After 24 hours of labor and my little bundle of joy being very stubborn they took me in for a C section.  Our beautiful little girl, Charlotte Lee, was born on July 14th @ 4:05AM at a whopping 9 pounds 5 ounces and 21 1/4 inches long @ Good Sam Hospital in Puyallup, WA. Well I would explain what she looked like, but i'd much rather show you! Here's our Precious Charlotte Lee.
