Ever thought of doing a generation shoot?

Recently Katrina did a generation shoot for Brisbane photographer Sarah. The shoot was of Sarah's Oma, with her daughters and then all their daughters! It was a huge generation shoot of 16 women! This is what Sarah and Katrina had to say….

"The shoot was lots of fun and there were loads of giggles! I really appreciate more than ever now, how much organization goes into a generation shoot trying to organise everyone from all different places, it isn't an easy task- But it was definitely worth it as we will have so many gorgeous photographs to treasue forever! Thanks Katrina for doing such a wonderful job!" Sarah

"This shoot purely involved all the women in Sarah's family with her Oma as the matriarch! I absolutely loved the closeness, strength and love between all these women from age 85 down to 5 years of age. What a wonderful idea and memory for Sarah and her family to have." Katrina

Jacqui and Malcolm

The girls at Katrina Christ Photographer would like to share some beautiful images of the lovely Jacqui and her hubby-to-be Malcolm. Jacqui has been with the Melbourne studio for over two years as our talented digital retoucher. She is the lady who adds that special magic to your beautiful images and makes sure they look absolutely perfect before they adorn your walls!

Together for eight years, Malcolm proposed to Jacqui at the Mossvale Music Festival on stage much to Jacqui's delight (and embarrassment)! The beautiful twilight ceremony will be held in Mt Evelyn, at the base of the Mount Dandenong ranges - a region well worth a visit for day trippers who are looking to explore the abundance of attractions the mountains have to offer.

Take the time to browse through Jacqui and Mal’s photographs. These were captured by our talented photographer Jess who creates the Melbourne studio’s images our clients cherish.

Jacqui’s personal photo shoot was held in her new home, incorporating her beautiful verandah and gardens in our very popular ‘Lifestyle’ style of shoot. Jacqui was pampered with a beautiful natural make-up and the afternoon was spent having a fantastic time and getting some really special images, which we are sure you will agree are stunning!

Jacqui will look even more beautiful and radiant on her special evening and Nami, Margot and Jess all look forward to seeing her stunning dress and all the trimmings!

2009 Professional Photographer Awards

The 2009 PMA show and Australian Professional Photographer Awards where held this year on the 26th - 29th June in Darling Harbor, Sydney. The exhibition brings the best photographers from across Australia, to share together their work & inspire each other.

What a fabulous exhibition for us nerdy photographers here at KCP team, Alanna & Sarah from Brisbane & Bec from our Sydney studio. The girls enjoyed watching the very serious APPA judging, as we waited in anticipation for Katrina’s Prints. As she was the only highly organized person this year to enter, we all had a little cheer as she received 1 – silver distinction & 2- silver awards, for her beautiful work. We are all ever so proud of these achievements.

By night we giggled away in the streets of Sydney. Enjoying an amazing Vegetarian meal at Yulli’s, a groovy wine bar/ restaurant, in Surry hills. The owner created the restaurant based around his sister, who sadly passed away. She was a vegetarian so he put together a spectacular restaurant hanging her records on the walls, playing only her favorite music, with pretty fairy lights out the back, in memory of her loves in life, it had an amazing atmosphere and the most incredible vegetarian cuisine we have ever had the pleasure to eat.

All & all a fabulous weekend filled with inspiring passionate photographers and lots of fun for the girlies.

See below for photos of Alanna and Sarah enjoying Sydney!

Photos from the Sydney Studio

Here is a lovely note from Jenny, the mum to three gorgeous kids who were a pleasure to photograph...thank you for inviting us into your home!

“Once our family was complete I wanted to capture a moment in time with the children while they were small.

Bec arrived at our home and gained their trust quickly, and the children responded by opening up for the camera. Their individual personalities shone through and some great fun photos were the result.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for the gorgeous photos and frames. They are truly divine, and you did such a great job capturing all three kidlets together, not such an easy task!!!”

Another happy customer ...

The girls at the Melbourne studio recently received a beautiful letter from Cherry and we just had to share!

It was a pleasure to meet Cherry and her two lovely children and we look forward to photographing them again.

'Hi,

I just want to thank everyone who helped with my shoot and say that it was the most amazing display of customer service I have EVER seen in my life. I used to work as a mystery shopper so have a lot of experience!

I love my photos and will treasure them always.

May your business go from strength to strength.

Kind regards
Cherry'

Katrina is going on holidays!

Well we are packing up the kids and going on holidays out west in a big RV!

I can't wait to show my girls where I grew up, stay on a working property, visit the home of the Muttaburrasaurus, fossick for saphires near Emerald, and then a nice drive down the coast.

Being from the bush I cannot wait - I love the long straight roads and landscape. I will keep you all posted as a possible next holiday destination for families.

I can see lots of board games, toasted marshmallows, daggy dancing while singing "Fernando" by the fire and quite possibly a few photos will be taken. But I'm a bit nervous about the cold, it was -2 in Roma the other night!

We all sat down last Friday night and watched the movie "RV". It is hilarious but I hope we don't have too many similar moments, especially cleaning out the pipes.

Have a great winter holiday yourselves, even if you can't get away. I just can' t wait to spend time as a family.

Love to all

Katrina xxooxxoox
