Even Professionals Take Bad Photos

Bad Funny photos happen. Just like bad hair days and bad sweaters.

Usually during a session there are a handful of images where the subjects are caught off guard at just the wrong moment. They are not nice candids, just unflattering spoofs. They make me chuckle and then get removed from the mix because who really wants to see them?

Actually....Who doesn't want to see them? Spoofs happen to everyone!

Even to professionals.

A few months back when the trees were still golden, I rolled Devin out of bed at sunrise for our family photo. We had the assistance of a good friend working the camera, but we were the subjects. And we got some bad funny photos in the mix. :) We also have a cat (Leisl) and we had to include him in the family photo (duh.) and as anyone who has tried to do a photo with pets can confirm, the pets are sometimes very similar to unruly children. :) Enjoy our spoofs! Be well, Kaht

"Don't let Leisl run away! I'm getting the settings right."

"I know you have treats!! Give. Me. Now. Purrrrrrlease?"

Up. Down. Up. Down. BUTT!

'I so do not belong to this family.'

"Here kitty kitty. Come to...Oh. Of course you come for your mama...."

"Awww, snuggle me too guys!! Snuggle snuggle snuggle MEEEE!" *snuggles*

"Mraaaaaaaa!!! Put me down! Put me down! PUT ME DOWN!!!"

Fine. We can look good without the cat. :)

Happy holiday photo season! Do you have any funny holiday photos??

Married: Katelyn & Ian: Burlington, VT

As she sat by the window while her good friend finished her hair and make-up, a little smile crept onto Katelyn's face. She slowly opened one eye, looked at her girlfriends that were sitting by and said..."I'm getting married." Simple as that. Today was her day. And as exclamations of joy and excitement rippled through the room, Katelyn resumed her quiet posture by the window and let the transformation from girl to bride continue.

The day could not have been more perfect for a Lake Champlain cruise on The Spirit of the Ethan Allen. The sun was bright, the sky was clear and the breeze was comforting. All the ingredients for a beautiful wedding for a beautiful couple!

Katelyn and Ian, thank you for the honor of being your wedding photographer. You could have chosen anyone, but you chose me :) And for that I am very happy. Your day was perfect. I hope you are enjoying a few days of relaxation! All the best to you both for the future! xo Kaht

Their little girl was a real cutie, especially with that bow-tie!





Being the bride is so nice, because everyone does everything for you!

Transformation complete!

A stunning bride with the most stunning eyes! Gorgeous Katelyn.

And a smooooth looking groom as well! I was a fan of those shades.



Katelyn & Ian opted for a first look since they were going to be on the cruise for their ceremony and reception. Land photos are good too!



It was a really sweet moment :)



The beautiful ladies! (Minus Sleeping Beauty who caught a nap before the ceremony.)

And of course the handsome guys!









A little *sparkle*!





The crew on The Ethan Allen cruise is always so accommodating and helpful! Thank you everyone :)

Time to get married!







A true August wedding photo!

A few details! The flowers were done by Kathy & Co. Florist in Burlington. The colors were just so beautiful!

Katelyn made a lot of the decorations herself, including these cute candle holders!

Fisher's Fancies was here!

We'll end with a sweet image from their first dance. :) Check out their slideshow to see more of their beautiful day!

Engaged: Eileen & Tim: Burlington, VT

I am very lucky in my career in that I get to meet some wonderful people along my journey. And Eileen and Tim were no exception. Another fabulous couple that I am pleased to know and photograph!

For the past couple years they called New York City their home. It is the city were they met and fell in love. Now in search of something a little quieter, they have moved their life and kitties to beautiful Vermont. With a big love for life, one another and good beer, I do believe that Vermont is very please to have them here. :) Their wedding is coming up faster than WHOA! and they have a great day planned that I am looking forward to sharing with you all! In the meantime, enjoy my favorites from their recent engaged session. xo Kaht

'Bahahaha! Kathleen, she is so funny.' At least, that is what I remember them saying... :)



Funny story: while taking this image, a rough and tumble fella came up and hovered over my shoulder. I did not really notice except that Tim and Eileen were looking just beyond me and kind of had funny looks on their faces. I turned around and there this guy was! He stared at us a second and then asked what was the time. That's it. Heh.



Having just moved from NYC, we did not think it appropriate to plop them in a field of flowers. Downtown Burlington provided a nice intermediate urban feel :)

*love*



I wished for a chess set to appear out of thin air, but instead Tim turned on the sweetness.



Eileen, thank you for being so darn cute!

She's pointing those kisses at Tim. Not random folks on the street :)



Tim, bring this adorable smile and look with you to the wedding please! It works well :)





A little sass to end the session makes it a great day!
