Howdy!
I am excited to say that tomorrow, Friday the 7th, I will be carrying the RDU Baton.
What is RDU Baton? “RDU Baton is a collaborative photo project to show the world (and to remind ourselves) how amazing life in the Research Triangle is, through Instagram.”
Check out their website www.rdubaton.com
I follow them, and have found many great food & recreational recommendations here!
My Instagram handle is KathyHoward – come over and follow me & my exciting (and probably rainy boo) day!

This was such a fun project with my daughter.
Here’s a little behind the scenes.
The day before the snow fell, we went for a walk in the woods.
We gathered our head piece materials & made sure the stump I knew of was still there = location!
We trimmed, we snipped, and were excited about all of the beautiful goodies we found in our field
(not shown – six golf balls and a dog toy!)
The we took some floral wire and tape, and made a ‘halo’ form to fit her head. We used several layers so that we could ‘weave’ our nature items into it.
We also used a hot glue gun as needed.
It snowed that night, and the next day we headed out to the back field for photos. It was c- o- l- d outside, but she didn’t care.
I am lucky she still likes to do these things with me
Growing up fast, wearing my warmest wool coat.
It’s a vintage Raleigh made wool coat circa 1960’s, give to me by my mother-in-law and VERY loved!
Did photograph her in the coat, but it distracts from the headpiece and the vision of this image.
Big sis was my assistant – most of the time holding the reflector, and a little bit of flash…
Here she is getting warmed up lol! (she’s not blind thank goodness)
Ten years old … wearing MY blouse, knit tights & boots!
I posted more images in previous blog post HERE.
.
Up next I will continue to ‘catch up’ blogging with more winter sessions!
Have a great day.

I have been wanting & needing to do something creative. Outside of ‘the box’.
It’s fun & helps me grow personally & as a photographer.
Snow days happen maybe once a year here in Raleigh. When I heard to forecast for daytime snow, I knew this was it! The base for this creative project.
A dreamy & soft fantasy type snowfall portrait.
Well, the forecast changed and we didn’t get our daytime snowfall, so I tweaked the idea I had a bit and couldn’t be happier.
.
Here are the images that resulted from our home made nature headpiece & my youngest girl modeling.
Post-processed slightly different than my normal style. I like it, to me it fits the mood of the project.
I really like the look of b & w film
Did I mention it was in the 20’s outside? My girl is such a trooper.
And a Goofball!
See you soon with some behind the scenes & how we made the headpiece!
