I just returned from photographing the most amazing event. The birth of a baby Harper.

I have known the mommy, Alisha since she was a toddler. I have photographed her and her family for numerous events throughout the years. The above images are from their pregnancy portrait sitting just a few months ago. I was so excited to be asked to be there for the birth.

It was the most profound experience. Not to mention such an honor and privilege

The calm brave strength of Mommy pushing, Eric (the Daddy) just being there for her and helping in any way he could, the tears of joy on Eric's face when he held his daughter for the first time. And Alisha, never taking her eyes off her newborn girl while they weighed, measured and cleaned her up.

Welcome baby Harper Williams. You came in with an attitude. With the parents you have been blessed with, you will have everything you need to make your light shine.

Hanna is one of our new Senior Ambassadors. The albums in her pin-up shot are part of her own personal collection. She loves rock and roll!

Competitive swimming and a job as a lifeguard keep her near or in the water almost daily and she couldn't be happier.

Mid summer already?!?! Where is the time going? We hope you are having a wonderful summer break. We sure are! Lots of dreams fulfilled.

A Walker Wedding

June 4 kicked off our exciting summer with the wedding of Matt (our son and my partner) to his beautiful bride Shannon. We are so happy to have her in our family. Not only is she incredibly lovely in front of the camera, she's not too shabby behind one either. Also, a talented make up artist who makes our brides even more beautiful.

Many people asked how we managed pictures for the wedding. That was simple, we hired our good friends and talented wedding photographers Amber and John, of Shoop's Shutter Photography. We were thrilled with the results! It was great to just enjoy the day and know that they were going to capture all the special moments. Amber admits being a little intimidated shooting for us, but she knew that it was going to be amazing because of Matt and Shannon's attention to creative detail.

Our New Studio is ready when you are!

After many years of having retail locations on Greenback Lane and our studio in downtown Sacramento we made the tough decision to close both locations and move forward on building the studio we have always dreamed of.

It is located on our acre in Orangevale. The studio features a spacious shooting room, a comfy consult and viewing lobby, and last but not least, a spacious dressing room. We're still putting on the finishing touches but we are already enjoying the space, the natural light from our french doors, and the commute. Or the lack of one.........

Having the studio on our property gives us the wonderful ability to combine an indoor and outdoor session easily and at no extra charge.

If you have never visited our outdoor location, you are in for a treat. It features a park like area with lots of shade and lawn, a vintage 51 Ford truck, tire swing, a fishing hole, and a flower garden.

Best of all it is private, no use fees, no strangers wandering around in the background, no unexpected surprises to interrupt the success of a great portrait session.

The large spaces both inside and out give us plenty of room to handle really large family portraits. The privacy and quiet surroundings are perfect for our baby sessions.

Of course we are always happy to go on location to wherever the job takes us.

If it's time for senior portraits in your family you need to know that you do have choices.

Most schools have a contracted photographer who is equipped to mass produce the student's

head shots for the annual yearbook.

While they usually do a great job for a small yearbook head shot, they often lack the creativity and imagination it takes to photograph each student and capture their personality.

At our studio we take the time to get to know our subjects and mold their session around who they are and what their life is about. It is really important to us that our seniors are happy and having a great time during their time with us. The results are simply really great portraits.

Wedding Bells are ringing for K. Walker Studios

2010-05-11T11:12:00.000-07:00

In early April of this year Matt (our son and my partner of photography) proposed to his lovely lady; Shannon. We are so delighted, excited and happy for them.

So wedding plans are in the works. Wedding is set for June 11, 2011. Location has been chosen, Santa Rosa, on a 4 acre ranch with a big barn. The gown has been selected. Lots of details have been covered, some will be adjusted as the plans move forward.

One of the biggest decisions was hiring the wedding photographer! We certainly can't shoot it ourselves. Like everyone else looking for a photographer, there are so many things to consider.

The quality of the work was our first consideration. I noticed that all of the studios they asked me to look at were showing samples much like our own work. Not a big surprise there! We wanted someone who could shoot the candid documentary style as well as the traditional posed shots.

Although we did review a few photographers in the Santa Rosa area, we decided it would be best to select someone in the Sacramento area and pay their location fees. There are going to be a lot of visits to the photographer, to discuss the wedding schedule, review the images, pick up the albums etc. It just makes sense to work with someone closer to your home. A good wedding photographer should be able to work with any location so we could see no advantage to having one who lived in that area.

Price is of course always a consideration! You pay for what you get!!!!! Like everyone else, we have a budget but photography is not where we want to cut corners. You can't go back and

re shoot this important day. Finding someone with experience and talent is worth every penny.

We looked for someone who Shannon and Matt will enjoy spending time with.

Our attitude about photography is that if you are not having a great time, why would you feel like smiling?

So where did we find our photographer? At our last wedding fair, while checking out the other vendors, Shannon discovered her. We liked her photography, we liked her style, and we really liked her. We hired Amber owner of Shoops Photography in Folsom! Even more exciting, she won the best photographer nomination for 2009 in the Sierra Style Magazine, an honor that we usually win, needless to say we are honored to place 2nd.

So look out Amber! We will give you a good challenge this year for that prestigious award and we are excited to have you capture the most important event in our lives!

Today kicked off Lambs and Bunnies 2010. This is our tenth year photographing this unique portrait event. It is often the first time a child gets to meet, touch and pet a baby bunny or lamb.

Many families have made it a tradition.

Lovely Ella was featured on our add piece this year, her portrait from 2009 just captured everything I love about the children and the animals.

So today was even extra special because Ella has a new baby sister! We choose to photograph their session at our down town studio. While taking my lunch walk the other day I discovered a sweet little court yard at an attorney's office nearby.

When we arrived to shoot there today, I was a little dismayed to discover that the gates were closed and locked. Still I thought it was beautiful background, I learned a long time ago that you have to be flexible and have a backup plan. So we began to shoot in front of the closed gate.

Then...... one of those wonderful things happened. The attorney saw us working from his window and was kind enough to come down open the gate just for us.

I felt truly blessed, Camilla blossoms covering the ground,and raining petals on them. The bunnies were delightful and the children just yummy!

Spring is here even if the calendar doesn't agree.

Here in the Sacramento Valley, the trees are full of blossoms. It is a great time for family portraits. The time window is small, the first week of March is going to be the best.

But no worries, if you can't make the time.

I was driving in the rain the other day and came across a beautifully landscaped pond and rock walls featuring arches in the middle of nowhere. It is the entrance to a set of new homes but off the beaten path and accessible for anyone to enjoy. I am planning on photographing our family there soon!

2010-02-23T21:07:00.000-08:00

It's almost that time of year again.

2010-02-04T11:14:00.000-08:00

Welcome to a new year. 2010 is is all ready a month old.

Matt and I have bee so busy in the last month accomplishing something that is monumental for us as a family, and as business partners.

We opened up our new studio, Flaunt Images in downtown Sacramento. It is located at 1123 18th street, near the corner of L Street. Matt is loving it. Already, he has shot the designer line of Caren Templet, a talented women's clothing designer in Sacramento.

In addition, we have been working diligently on our home studio location in Orangevale and preparing for the much awaited relocation from our Greenback location to our home studio.

The offices and shooting rooms are now complete. Next we tackle our larger studio building on the property. 2010 will be mean lots of hammering, sawing and painting. Sounds fun to me! The end result will be a super large main studio, where we can offer both indoor and outdoor poses during a regular session.

Do that in October and K. Walker Photography will reward you with a free family portrait sitting, with one free 5x7 included. The odds are pretty good that you will love your portraits too.

Breasts (Did I get Your Attention)

2009-05-11T17:53:00.000-07:00

May is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I couldn't be more aware. No sooner had one of my best friends completed her radiation and chemotherapy, and we were able to breath again. I get the news that another friend is about to go to battle with it.

Both of these women are extremely good about how they take care of themselves. Age does not make a difference, one is ten years younger than the other.

So Ladies, get your mammograms immediately if you have not had one in the last year. Don't rely on self checks. Men too!It has no boundaries, it can happen to anyone.

It has inspired our studio and our fund raising partner Starlight Starbright to schedule a fund raiser. Make your appointments through Starlight Starbright, we look forward to seeing you there. Saturday June 6, 2009

Last Sunday I was downtown Sacramento shooting a High School Senior from Folsom High. A great place to shoot by the way!! So much urban background!! I stumbled on some steps and next thing I knew, I had a broken pinky toe. Bummer.....but we partied on and kept shooting.

Not 10 minutes later, my camera jams up. Still no problemo.... I am a pro, I have a back up, we still party on and get an awesome shoot. Clients are watching my toe turn black and blue and feeling very sympathetic for me. Me, I am bummed that camera, my extension of my personality and life is broken!!!!!

Take it the camera hospital the following Monday. He says " How long have you had this camera, it sure has some wear and tear on it, the mirror is stuck. No longer reliable, time to repair it and make it a back up." What was a girl to do????

I kissed it goodbye and promised we would see each other again someday and bought the new

Canon 5D Mark 2. Oh my gawd!!! Where have you been all my life. I am in love all over again.

25.5 mega pixels of excellence!

I have had it for only two days, have done 4 shoots with it and I see the difference already.

I have not even got to the video and audio features yet.

My clients will love what they in their pictures even more.

2009-03-12T13:22:00.000-07:00

Spring is here. Look around you! All those beautiful trees in bloom make great backgrounds for some unforgettable portraits..

Check out Olivia and her Mom and Dad.

Taken at our outdoor studio right here in Orangevale. It is a small window of opportunity. So if you would like to have some blooms in your family portraits call now.

2009-02-26T15:04:00.000-08:00

In case you missed the article in Sierra Style Magazine, February Issue. Here is a great shot of Matt, Karen, Kerri and me with our big fat check donation to the Play for Playground.

I talked with Terry Carol and learned there is still a long way to go in terms of fundraising to build the playground. It seems that the playground surface is very expensive, it is a rubberized material for soft landings.

So, you can look forward to some more creative and fun ways to this year to raising money for this worthy cause!

Did you vote for us in the KCRA Channel 3 Best of the Best awards yet? There is still plenty of time. I have to got to say I am truly humbled by the praise that is being lavished on us about our studio.

To us, being prompt, creative, friendly and all is just the way a person should do business. It is the way I expect to be treated when I spend my hard earned dollars.

True Love

2009-02-17T12:32:00.000-08:00

On Valentine's Day 2009, Matt and I had the honor of photographing the wedding of Susan and Don Greenwood. Their story is what dreams are made of.

Both Susan and Don are in their 50's. Susan had never been married and Don, has been single many years. To find love in the middle of your life is wonderful but read on!

A few years ago, Susan had a stroke, it has been a long uphill battle to recover from it. Don had a series of strokes last year. They met in a home while rehabilitating. The rest is history.

Susan walked down the aisle and Don was there standing and waiting for her.

Each has lost the use of one side of their body, one left the other right. Together they make a whole. By helping each other, they are able to live on their own and create a life together.

You can learn more about them by visiting the Channel 13website: http.//cbs13.com/video/?cid=7 search for December 7, 2008.

There is also news story at: http.//www.sacbee.com/ourregion/story1470626.html

I recall hearing the news story and thinking to myself, I hope they have a great photographer. As luck would have it, we were referred to them by one of our past brides who is also a close friend of Susan's. We cleared our day and made ourselves available for this wonderful occasion. There was no way we were going to pass it up!

Their love is an inspiration to all of us.

Congratulations Susan and Don, we wish you all of the best.

Dahlia in Our Garden

2008-09-19T18:19:00.000-07:00

Meet Dahlia. Dahlia's family has been on our Watch My Baby Grow Program for the past year. I have had the pleasure of watching her grow from a brand new baby to a happy and joyous toddler.

We decided to work with her at our outdoor studio. The garden is wild with bloom right now with lots of zinnias, but sadly no dahlias. for our Dahlia..... She loved the carousel horse. I loved her poof skirt! I am thinking of getting one for myself!

Back From Vacation!

2008-09-09T13:57:00.000-07:00

Our family vacation was a little different that most families. We went to Burning Man! Most people are familiar with Burning Man through what they hear and read about in the news. The impression is drugs and no rules as the prevailing influence. You have been sadly misinformed!!!

It started off with a few people in the 80's, word spread and now families and people from all ages and all walks of life go for a truly different camping experience. Corporations actually send their key people to help them learn to think outside the corporate box.
This year it was attended by over 50,000 people from all over the world. It is a big party and everyone is there to have fun and contribute their creativity in some way. It is a a physical challenge because of the extreme conditions. (8 hour sandstorms are no fun!) There is no water, no power. You must bring your own supplies. It is also a no money zone, there are no waiters, taxis or vendors to buy from or tip. You are on your own. Very stress free.

We enjoy photographing the art. It has given me the opportunity to photograph in conditions I would never try. Of course it inspires my creativity in my beloved career.

The art is typically placed on the desert floor. Structures range from small pieces to large 50 ft high buildings. Some is burnt at the end of the week and some is taken back to the world to share with others at another place and time. Sometimes the art is displayed as an art vehicle, with that many people, you can imagine how much space that takes up, you need a way to get around. Although most people ride their bicycles This year I saw a spider about the size of 3 cars, walking across the desert walking on hydraulic legs. Awed and amazed are the only words to describe it!

We created an art car that is now a legend. google= omar kabish the fish for a picture of it online.

Yep that's me riding it!

Burning Mans' contribution to the world of art can't be measured. It is beyond belief!

Tuesday July 12, I had the pleasure of accompanying a long time friend, Tiffany Garvin to the KYMX 96 radio station here in Sacramento. Tiffany, Mrs. Coastal States is on a fund raising mission for Women In Need (WIN). WIN is a private non profit foundation that specializes in rehabilitating women who are survivors of domestic violence by providing them counseling services, empowerment classes, job interview skills and education on the effects of abuse. Win believes that by healing the women, you heal the family, and that the final destination of healing is love and passion of life purpose.

On July 31, 2008 she is holding a fund raiser for this wonderful organization. The purpose of the fund raiser is threefold: to raiser awareness that millions of women suffer from abuse each year, to spread the word about the WIN Foundation and the many benefits coming to our area, and to raise necessary funds in order to continue this invaluable service for women here and around the word. About 200 guests including, local and state government officials, community business members and general supporters of this significant cause.

Tiffany was interviewed by Jennifer Steele, also a long time friend. During our chat before she went on the air, we learned what a small world it is, we discovered that we had all met each other many years ago at a Miss Fair Oaks Pageant, Tiffany and Jennifer were competing and I was the photographer.

The interview will air this Sunday morning on KYMX at 6:30 A.M. early yes.......but if you are up and you want to hear more about WIN, please tune in.

The event starts at 6:00 and will be held at the Arden Hills Country Club. The dress is cocktail attire. Jennifer Steele from KYMX 96 will be the MC, K. Walker Photography will be there taking fabulous portraits.

We hope you will to. You can reserve a corporate table, or just purchase tickets by contacting Tiffany at : Tiffany@DiscoverYourLight.org

Hotel Del Coronado in San Diego California

2008-03-27T19:14:00.000-07:00

K. Walker Photography was selected to receive an invitation to attend Burrell Colour Imagings 2008 Presidential Circle Reunion, March 9th through March 12, 2008, at the historic Del Coronado Hotel on Coronado Island near San Diego California. The presidential circle is comprised of the nation's most elite professional portrait, wedding, and event photographers, of which only a select number of studios nationwide are included as members. The event was a great success!

This unique event was hosted by Don Burrell of Burrell Colour Imaging, located in Crown Point Indiana. Burrell Labs are known as a leader in quality that's why we have been their dedicated customer for over a decade. They put as much tender loving care into your portrait as we do when we are creating it for you.

The Hotel was superb, the sp

eakers and seminars were amazing and will help keep Matt and I on the cutting edge of creativity and imagination.

We were treated to a yacht dinner cruise and got some really shots of San Diego from the ship.

We all believe our little babies are really angels! Now we can turn your baby into one digitally.

Angel and fairy wings have been popular props for babies and small children since I first opened my studio. I found it was always up to the child whether they would allow us to strap the wings on. I am pretty sure they viewed them as a big bird we were attempting to tie on their backs.

No problems with that now. Anyone can be a fairy or an angel!

Do you love the boy with a horn on our splash page? This exceptional image is Casey Beck one of

our Seniors class of 08. It was shot by our newest photographer Matt Walker. Matt is such a hit

with the Seniors, he is on his way to Houston Texas to shoot a few High school Seniors in Cowboy country!

What's New

2008-01-17T19:21:00.000-08:00

It's important to us that the portraits we create for you, look perfect in your home. Portraits should always flow with the colors and style of the rooms they are displayed in. Custom cut and designed matting can be very expensive. Linen and fabric applications cost even more.

You won't believe your eyes when you see our composite and designer mat series. Professional framers have been fooled by the accurate details of the mat cuts. When Combined with our custom designed mats ,we can create portraits that will fit perfectly into any of the latest color and theme palates.

The final image with mating can then be produced in so many different ways. Frame them or just display them on an easel.

When we plan your portrait session, we can discuss colors and possible designs for your final images.

If you already have had your portraits taken at our studio in 2007, you still have time to order that fantastic image to display in your home. Regular canvas finishes are free on all portraits 11x14 and up to February 15.

Don't forget that our annual Lambs and Bunnies event is scheduled for March 4 thru the 22.
Sessions ar $95.00 but if you bring a friend, you both get your sessions for just $75.00!
We still have some space available but are booking up fast so call now.

Lamb and Bunnies

2008-01-03T19:30:00.000-08:00

Lamb and Bunny Portrait time is fast approaching. This is one of my favorite portrait sessions.

I love to capture the children meeting a baby lamb or bunny for the first time in their lives.

Our baby lamb will be born in a few weeks, and I am out scouting for my bunnies. I bond with the babies a few weeks before we start photo sessions. By the end of the month, our lamb is leashed trained. My neighbors are always amused when they see me running around the block with a baby lamb. Lambs have a lot of energy and love to run. You have not been properly smouched unless you have been smouched by a baby lamb. They are always very interested in your breath, especially if you have been eating something interesting like chocolate.

It is very much like having toddlers in the house with all of the feeding, cleaning, making sure everyone is warm and loved.

I hope you will join us for this rare and special oppurtunity to introduce your children to an amazing experience with animals and capture some beautiful portraits at the same time.

Sessions start on March 4 and end on March 22. Please note that Easter is March 23. Needless to say we can't guarantee that your portraits will be availble by Easter.

You can reserve your appointment time now!

Can I tell you how much I love this digital world of photography?

When I opened my studio 15 years ago, I kept reading about how photography and computers would be like a marriage made in heaven. I was doubtful........

In 2002 I purchased my first digital camera and have never looked back. The photographic world has been rocked by amazing developments between cameras and computers.

Matthew and I stay on the cutting edge by attending seminars and classes. As we go into 2008 we will be introducing new ideas for portrait presentation, like fabulous gallery wraps with your child's first words imprinted along the borders of the print. Or how about a gallery wrap with your families names and birth dates. What a fantastic way to create a family heirloom to treasure for years to come!

In our High School Senior sessions ( Studio 17) look for new designs in wallet prints and Wall posters that feature multi images.

I think I am most excited about our new coffee table albums that are perfect for baby and wedding albums. I just designed our first wedding album and the bride and groom simply loved it.

I had to do a little product shopping and testing before I found the perfect book. We wanted the images to be printed on actual portrait paper and then bound to heavy card stock. The outside binding and book cover needed to be high quality, attractive yet long lasting. We found all of that in the album we selected and more! These beautiful albums are available in many sizes with linen and leather covers.

Another great way to preserve that first year of your baby or that very special wedding day is a DVD with 50 or your favorite images set to music and motion. They make great gifts for parents and grandparents.

And speaking of gifts. WE HAVE GIFT CERTIFICATES! They always fit! Gift certificates never go out style, they never lose their value, and one size fits anyone. Available in any amount.

Thanks for checking in.

This week I am looking forward to shooting at the beautiful Tomich Orchards in Orangevale. The orchard is on 16 acres and has a fruit stand. It is a family owned orchard and was established in 1911. It is located just down the street from our home. It is such a great place for portraits and I am very grateful that they allow me shoot there upon occasion. They have eye popping fall color until mid November.
If you want to feed your family the freshest fruit and all locally grown you should check them out. They have fresh fruit for sale all year round!!

Which brings me to the most exciting news for Christmas!! For many years we did Santa portraits at the studio. Our Santa (aka Ed Tanner) needed a much earned break.

So those of you who have missed our beloved Santa, be sure to call Starlight Starbright for your appointment on November 16. Our current Santa(and also very beloved) will be on hand on November 17.
Calender Kidz last sessions for the year is November 6 through the 10th. The first two days are indoors and the set is sooo coool.
