Change in contest

It seems that there is going to have to a little change in the contest. It has been brought to my attention that there is some "cheating" going on through the use of technology. I have always said, sometimes technology can be too much of a good thing! It saddens me to think that what was suppose to be a fun little contest caused people to think that cheating to win is the way to go. So with that said, I have decided the only fair way to select a winner for the contest is to create a panel of fellow professional photographers and have them select a winner. I hate to do it this way, but I do not see any other way to avoid the cheating that is taking place in the contest. I have already assembled the panel and will have them select the winner by Monday. So, instead of the winner being announced today, he or she will be announced on Monday. My apologizes to all of those who were honest and voted the correct way. Kelly

Sweetest Face goes to Miss Tatum!













I was so excited when I finally got to meet Tatum! She won my Sweetest Faces contest and I am so glad she did. She had the best little personality. I had no problems getting her to "play" with me. I love, love, love how these photographs turned out. I can just see her playful self in all of them. Here is a sneak peek at a few from our session. Thanks to her Mommy for coming all the way to Milledgeville, I had a blast! Enjoy!

Miss Miley








Miss Miley came to see me in my new studio the other day and she is just about the sweetest little baby you will ever meet. I have been photographing her since she was 3 months old and this time, she seemed like such a big girl. She is crawling and pulling up. She gave me so many great smiles. I love this age, it is one of the easiest to photograph! Minda, Miley's mom, always had the cutest outfits and best of all, she lets me choose which ones I like the most. However, Miley came dressed in the precious pink outfit because it is one of her Daddy's favorites. I have to agree is to pretty darn cute, especially on Miley. Enjoy!

Yummy, Yummy to my Tummy!







If you were to ask Miss Makayla about her sucker, she would tell you that it was YUMMY! I had the pleasure to photograph Makayla this past weekend for her 3rd birthday. Her mommy had brought all the cutest little candy you could imagine. Makayla had so much fun showing me each piece and telling me all about them. Of all the candy that day, my favorite were the big suckers. I just love how these turned out, the colors are so vivid and the suckers just add so much to the image. Miss Makayla was too cute, especially eating that big ole' sucker. Thanks Tasha for letting me photograph your little one, I had a blast. Enjoy!

Dance, Dance, Dance Miss Madison







Last weekend I photographed Miss Madison for the first time and let me just say, I had a blast! She is just about the most precious thing ever. I was so excited to have this session, not only because Madison was so cute, but I was also able to shoot in my new studio. It was wonderful inviting Madison and her Mom into my new space. So here are a couple from our session together! Enjoy.

Just a quick note...


Thank you so much to everyone who came out today to help me celebrate my grand opening. I was so excited to see everyone and show you my new space. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I will. Also, thanks to my hubby, parents, London, Danielle and Jody for all their help and hard work. I could not have done it without them. I am worn out from today, but I will post pictures for everyone that was unable to make it out, as well as announce the winners of the drawings at the beginning of the week! Thanks again to all who have supported me during this journey!

It is OFFICIAL...the studio is open!













YES, I am now open! I was trying to hold out until I hosted my grand opening before I actually start shooting in my new space, but I could not wait! In case you are wondering, I am having grand opening Sunday, February 8th...so make plans to stop by. Many drawings will be held for free prizes and 1/2 off any session booked that day. I am so excited to show off my new place, it is amazing. You may just see your little on or even you on my walls. Be on the lookout for an e-mail later this week with all the details of the grand opening. Ok, so back to the shoot. I just could not wait any longer to start shooting, so I didn't. Last Saturday, I held my first two photo sessions in the studio and it was WONDERFUL!!! As many of you know, natural light is what I love, so I did not even set up the lights or a backdrop. I just used what light I had available and worked with that. I love the results. I am really not a big backdrop and prop fan, so having all this wonderful light is amazing. My first session was with Emmie and Brenton. I have been photographing them since Emmie was born and she just gets more precious every time I see her. Brenton is a little sport model himself. We had the best time dancing, running and singing. Next came Evie. What can I say about this little one. She melts my heart and always has. She has gorgeous blue eyes and cheeks that I just want to squeeze. The same went for her shoot, no studio lights, just the natural light from windows. After my sessions were over, I felt such a sense of joy being able to share my new space with my wonderful clients. Thanks to all of you who helped make this dream possible. I hope you all will be able to stop by next weekend and take a peek at my new studio.

It's time to start thinking about the beach...







Ahh, yes, the beach. How nice would it be to be there right now? With the weather being so messy this week, I could not help but wish I were there. I know it may seem a little ways off, but I have had several request for beach shoots again this year. If you would be interested in a session, please send an e-mail for more information to kprior@kellypriorphotography.com and I will be more than happy to get all the info to you. I am looking forward to another great couple of trips to the beach this summer, I hope you will join me.
