Merry Christmas

I can not believe how fast time passes! With December almost gone, I have finally found time to share what I have been doing for the last 2 months. Let me just start by saying "Thank you" to all of my clients, family, and friends who have made this an amazing year. Not only am I excited to meet our newest addition to our family in January but, I am also equally excited to see what 2010 brings professionally! I hope everyone has a joyous Christmas and a wonderful New Year!

I had a great time photographing the following families for their Christmas cards. We survived the cold and the wet together! Thanks for being such troupers!!

SENIOR REPS:

These two beautiful young ladies are my newest 2010 Senior Reps. We went all out with this session and spent an enitre day treking around downtown this past November! Keep an eye out for Shannon and Megan at Seven Lakes High School...ask them how they can save you some cash on your Senior picts! Also, I am already scoping out models/reps for the class of 2011. Know a Senior that might be interested?....Contact me at 979-229-3427, karipolakphoto@gmail.com to find out how you can get discounts, Cash for College, and freebies by becoming one of my Senior Reps!

Mama M

Believe it or not this mom-to-be was just four weeks out from her due date when we took these pictures last week. She is absolutely beautiful! After an entire week of rain I was afraid that we would have to reschedule the session. Turns out the afternoon ended up being gorgeous and the following pictures are just a few of my personal faves! Mama and Papa M it was a pleasure working with you! I can't wait to meet that sweet little baby of yours!

Have a great weekend...

Happy 3rd Birthday B!!

What a great age three is, full of energy, strong will, and great imagination. This handsome little boy is definitely that ....all boy. Despite his mother's and grandmother's attempts to keep him clean for pictures, he was as happy as could be playing in anything that would get him dirty! B is not only three this week but he is going to be a "Big Brother" in December. It is very evident that he is crazy about his little sister already!

The S Family Tree...

This family of four women and I go back further than I realized. I have known L and her family of three for about a year. When L called and said her whole family would be in town to help A celebrate her 1st birthday I was excited about meeting the people that know her best. What really threw me was, learning a couple of days before the session, that I played college volleyball years ago in North Texas with L's big sis A. The last time I saw A was when we were both fresh out of high school... to jump ten years forward to where we are both wives and mothers was wild! Needless to say, I was thrilled that I got to spend time with the extended S family and catch up with A. The following are some of my favorites from that evening...

Love Birds...

This was my very first Engagement Session!! My best friend T is getting married in the new year. I was so excited when she asked if I would take some pics for her and her fiance. The following are some of my favorites from that day. T & J here is your sneak peek!!!
