This winter has been mild (…which I’d be exclusively happy about if I hadn’t dropped 3-hundy on snow gear for my kids…)
…pitchers and catchers reported last week and that can only mean one thing…
SPRING.
I’m gearing up (or hunkering down, depending on how you look at it) for baby number 3 in late April, and wanted to do a round of mini’s before I take a little time off to re-group.
So here are the deets…contact me ASAP (kelly@relicphotography.com) if you’d like to book a slot!

Soon after officially launching Relic Photography I started to feel like my logo didn’t really reflect my “style” of photography. I liked it, but longed for something brighter…fresher…more fun.
Early last year I got a call from an unbelievably talented graphic designer (who I’d done some work with on projects for my favorite cupcake shop) and her wedding photographer had bailed on her just a few months before her big day. I had already closed the books for 2011, but I quickly realized the opportunity before me and asked if she’d be interested in a “trade” of services. It was hands down my best business decision of 2011 (and fortunately for her, I returned her wedding images way faster than I did her e-mails regarding my re-brand
.
It took a while, but thanks to her abounding crativity and endless patience with my repeated use of “the woman’s perrogitive”
(…you know, the right to change your mind… ), Elizabeth literally got inside my head and helped me pull out exactly what I wanted but could never describe. And I could not love the results more!

That’s my new logo…isn’t it fab?

And the seal…it just makes me smile when I look at it!
I’m also so grateful, as usual, for my invaluable assistant Krissy, who, as usual, made up for my technological deficiencies by getting the elements of my new blogsite loaded, tweaked, and looking pristine.
My new business cards are so fancy…I almost wrecked my car the first day I had them because I couldn’t stop looking at them…
…and what’s a post without an actual picture…so here’s one from a session last week with my new branding.
Love.
Exciting things are ahead for Relic Photography in Twenty Twelve…stay tuned…

I know that I’ve already posted my favorite family and favorite kid pics…and that “technically” speaking, siblings fall into both of those categories….but there’s just something about the sibling relational dynamic that, when captured, is uniquely beautiful.
So since it’s my blog and I make the rules, siblings get their own category. And I’ve saved it for last because it’s my favorite

A long time ago, in a former life, I ran a couple marathons…
I literally have no (i.e. NONE…nada…zip) desire to do that again, however, I think that experiencing that level of simultaneous exhaustion and exultation was good preparation for shooting young kids (especially toddlers).
Many of the below photos involved blood, sweat, and/or tears and were captured “on the fly” with one or more adult(s) making total arses of themselves behind me.
A one hour session can easily feel like 26.2 miles with lead shoes on…It’s no job for mere mortals, but it’s in these very “real” moments that the best pictures (complete with twinkling eyes, genuine emotions, real personalities) are captured.
Without further ado…here’s the best 30 of 2011:
