Sweet Es...

The Es are friends of mine and I have watched their little cutie grow up right before my lens over the past year. Mr. R and his adorable chubby cheeks are still as precious as ever...just a little faster than I remember! So chasing him around proved to be a workout in its self! I had a blast with you all enjoy your sneak peek Es...

The M Family

I aways enjoy photographing the M family. They are beautiful, sweet, funny, and full of great expression! I just love the following... thank you for another great session.

Happy Birthday KPP...

If you have known me any amount of time you will quickly learn that I look for excuses to celebrate even the smallest of things...and I love a good surprise! So it is only natural that I am looking forward to March and all its reasons to celebrate (the Lenten season, my daughter's 1/2 birthday, having my son for 2 months, St. Patrick's Day, the first day of Spring...and Kari Polak Photography turning ONE!! As with most 1st birthdays I want to do something special...so to celebrate there will be No Session Fees for any type of session booked during The Entire Month of March. (Just in time for Spring and Easter picts of the kiddos/family) For celebrating this milestone with me, you will receive a Party Favor after each session that can be used toward portrait purchases or future sessions . To RSVP and reserve your session please email me at karipolakphoto@gmail.com. I look forward to celebrating with you!

Crawling out from under the rock...

It has been ages since I last posted anything on this blog or even been on a computer for that matter. I have been slow getting back on line after having our house and my home studio involuntarily stripped of everything electronic, including my camera + equipment and my computer. Toss in the arrival of our son, Michael, a week after the break in, and I have officially been living under a rock in the Dark Ages disconnected from humanity for the last month or so. I've never really thought of myself as a "Techie" however, not having the basics has really sent me into some major withdraws! So when the FedEx guy rang the doorbell Wednesday to announce the arrival of my new computer and camera I almost hugged him I was so overjoyed...let the reconnecting with the world begin! (Seriously...having a newborn during the height of winter/ cold and flu season we don't get out much... and as sad as it sounds, having this computer makes me feel a little more alive and involved.) To everyone that has sent me some form of electronic communication....please be patient with me...I am in the beginning stages of checking emails and facebook, etc. I promise I have not been ignoring you!! You will hear from me soon!

I owe a HUGE thank you to those of you that shared cameras and video with my family to capture the birth of our son. Your generosity will stay with us forever! Also, to my husband for bringing home his work computer to take the edge off ...love you!

For those of you who have been waiting to see some pictures of MVP (Michael Van Polak) here he is...

Baby D makes her debut

The last time I took pictures of this beauty she was still warm and cozy in her Momma. We shot this session right before Christmas and things went extremely well. Baby D was so laid back and such a natural poser!! The third shot below is one of my all time favorites. There is just something so sweet about a newborn's yawn...

Mr. R is One!

Looking at the smile on this handsome little man's face it is hard to imagine that it was freezing outside and the wind was whipping around us at about 25 mph. Needless to say he did an amazing job of hanging in there with me and his momma!! I am so impressed with him!! Happy Birthday Mr. R.
