Gone to the Beach … On VACATION!!!

I hope everyone has a lovely Easter week.  We are off to sunny F-L-A to warm our bones and let the ocean cure our winter blues :)

I will be back to my desk on Monday, April 8th.  I will return emails after this date.

Thank you for your patience.  Everyone needs to feed their mind & heart with some quality family time every once in a while … and I am absolutely looking forward to lack of screen time as well.

I guess I’m an old fashioned kind of gal 😉

See you in April!!

Summer Freckle Project | Raleigh Portrait Photography

Good Wednesday morning!

Woke up early this morning, sipped some coffee & went through my personal 2012 photos.  I have a goal : wall display in my OWN home by the end of the month!  I will keep you posted.  So far I have fifty images picked out for a 6 square photo display.  I am sticking with square, but perhaps more than six.  But definitely by January 31st I will have the prints ordered!

I came across this picture from the summer.

I LOVE freckles.

I have decided this summer I will do a freckle project.  Don’t have the details yet, but I hope to make it for a worthy cause.

If you are interested in being one of my subjects, or know someone who is, please drop me an email kathy@kathyhowardphotography.com and I will put you on the list.

Thanks & have a superb day!

ProjectLife365 | A Personal Project

A new year full of hopes and dreams and resolutions.  2013 is here!

Three years ago I completed a 365 project (click HERE to see on my old blog), one picture per day for an entire year.  Challenging in so many ways.  Most challenging for me to find the time to edit & blog daily.  MOST rewarding however.  I love looking at those images & moments, to see how much my kids have changed & how much my photography has changed.  ALL good ALL around!

However, now we have wonderful easy social media image pathways such as Instagram and Facebook.  Technology has made it so easy to capture and share.  And now that I am the proud owner of my first iPhone, I plan to utilize these easy methods to capture a year in the life of me & my family.  AND print a 365 collage at the end of this year – YEAH!!!!

  (If you could see my bare walls now, you’d understand my excitement)

My plan is to post daily on Instagram, and once weekly here on the blog & facebook.  Here are the links to find me on each of these media forums :

INSTAGRAM : Find me under KathyHoward, staging.kathyhowardphotography.com.  Follow me & I’ll follow you back!

Won’t you join me with this project?  The rewards are so many – better photography skills & an amazing collection of photos, just to name a few.

One of my 2013 resolutions is to blog more.  I want to really show the real passionate me, what I am about & how my business has evolved these past two years.  I am so proud & so humbled by this journey & my clients!
