Tiny Visitor

Last night as we came in from getting groceries, I found a new buddy.



Here he is compared to my wedding ring. So tiny!



Have a good night, little guy!

Happy Christmas!

Kurz Studio Photography would like to wish a very jolly holiday to you and yours!





My beautiful mother took these pictures. She didn't get into photography until after I did at the end of my high school career, but she sure is good. She has a great eye. As well as a great heart. =)

Out of Town

We will be out of town until Monday, December 29th. We may occasionally have some dial-up internet access, but email responses will be slow. We apologize.

We do have a couple of great engagement sessions planned, so stay tuned.

We're doing fun things like chasing seagulls, digging in the dirt, and giggling with grandmothers. =)

K

This weekend I met up with this sweet family to work on some Christmas photos. Little K's curls just kill me! =) K's mom and I finished our Master's Degree in Special Education at USF together last year.

We met at Philippe Park in Safety Harbor. Great park! Several miles of trails, beautiful views, not crowded, and fun playgrounds.



I think I need a pair of these pink shoes!





She wrote her K in the sand.





Swinging with Mom and Dad.

Cute Family Photos

This has to be our fastest portrait session. Ever. (Not that I'm rushing you. You can have all the time you need.) =)

This is Drew's oldest sister and her family. They wanted a family picture for their Christmas card. We had things planned out but then, because of all the little ones and traveling, time got short. So we ran outside (where it was in the 30's), grouped up, grabbed the shot, and ran back in, all in under 2 minutes.

What a cute family!

A Trap?

Today I got this in the mail.



Um... Would you open a package from A. Trapp?





Marked Publix cheese?



Turned out it wasn't a trap at all. It was a movie I ordered for my sister from half.com.

=)

Wedding: Chris and Danielle

This weekend Drew, Eli, and I got to be guests at a wedding. My cousin Chris married the beautiful Danielle. We stayed firmly in our seats, but Drew managed to snap a couple of cute shots of them, nonetheless.

Eli and his cousin play peek-a-boo over the pew.



Grama sits on the wrong side of the church. See the groom in the background trying to get her attention. Also the worried look on Caleb's face.



Chris waits for Danielle.



Danielle is just precious.



The newlyweds! Congratulations y'all!

Beautiful Baby

Oh, this little one just melts my heart.









With his sweet brother.





And his gorgeous Mama.

Happy Halloween

We are in Los Angeles this week. =)



We hope that everyone in Florida is enjoying the chilly weather (that we are missing!)

Light!

I just love the way shooting into the light plays with my lens. I found these two boys playing the other day while the sun set and I couldn't resist catching this sunburst. If you would like some photos like this, schedule a shoot in the early evening, when the sun is low in the sky.

Sneak Peek!

I got to photography the most beautiful new baby yesterday. This is a special surprise package for someone, so I'm not going to give too much away, but look at how much this little one is loved.



Looking for a gift idea? The holidays are right around the corner...

How about a photo session? Mom will LOVE it. (I know I would. I do have 3000+ photos of the first six months of my son's life, but I can always find a spot for another one.) Plus, then you can give the family photos taken as gifts as well. =) Or put them into a book!

And, we design custom Christmas cards that will fit the photo perfectly.

Check out more examples at our family portfolio.

Baby On The Swings

I got to catch this beautiful baby and his Daddy on the swings the other day. I love that babies show pure, uninhibited joy.









Look at his eyes. He is telling you how proud he is that he can swing just like his dad.

Beautiful Evening

The other night I was walking outside and I looked up. This took my breath away.
