<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Keeping my promise to blog more lifestyle pictures of our family, we headed north for a long weekend in the Land of 10,000 Lakes this weekend and I brought my camera with. I didn't even realize at the time how much I would love the images I captured this weekend. I mean, I <i>tried</i> to cut them down but it just wasn't happening.</span></div>

I hope you can feel the peace that comes with being up north on a lake in the woods without anywhere to be or anyone to answer to. Except my two year old, who remains demanding no matter where you are.<br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I have sat down to write this post about ten times over the
past month. Although it’s taken all of those tries, and then some, to get it
done, I will confess that I feel a sense of relief in finally thrashing it out
in print. So here goes nothing….</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Over the past four years I have had the privilege of
photographing over 50 amazing families. I have become friends with many of you,
gotten to know your children, and watched them grow. I have had the immense
honor of photographing many of you not just once but two, three, and four times
over these past four years that Kathryn Shores Photography has been in
business. It has been, without a doubt, my pleasure. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
After this past fall’s busy season, however, I was left with
a strong sense of <i>wrongness</i><span style="font-style: normal;">. Something
about this business, about the way the business interacted with the rest of my
life, just wasn’t right. When the 2013 shooting season was over I was left
drained. I had successfully juggled another busy portrait season along with my
“real” job as an attorney, my two boys, and my husband. I had created portraits
that I was more proud of than ever before. I had confronted my goals to use
light more purposely and capture more interactive images. But, despite all
that, I had a nagging feeling that no one was getting the best of me. Not my
clients. Not my family. Not my job. Not me.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I passed off this feeling for a while, knowing that after
every fall I am drained; that is just the nature of fall portrait season. Fall
portrait season is why God made winter: so photographers can use the snow and
cold as an excuse to rest their brains and their souls and gear up for another
year of making beautiful art again in the spring. But even as winter progressed
and spring crept up on us (oh sooooo slooowly), I wasn’t feeling recharged and
ready to tackle another portrait year. I wasn’t spending my nights updating my
website and working on my SEO. I wasn’t creating my spring marketing materials
and brainstorming new location ideas. I watched as fellow photographers (and
friends) in the area did these things, but I couldn’t find the desire. Instead,
I found myself reveling in things I had not done in a long time. Watching TV.
Playing in the yard with my boys. Reading books. Doing projects around our new
house with my husband. All of these things that, ordinarily, I would have put
off because I needed to edit pictures or update my pricing materials or do some
other unseen chore that comes with running a photography business. I was doing
these things instead, and loving them. My computer went untouched for a week or
more. My camera was pulled out only to capture muddy hands and breakfast dates.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Do I not want to do this anymore?,” I began to wonder? No.
Certainly not. I love being a photographer. I love creating these beautiful
images of sweet faces and new life and families loving on one another. I love
having this outlet where I imagine something in my brain and then see those
imaginings come to life in my camera and on my computer and in print. I love
that moment when a session hits its high point, its nirvana; when I know that
every single image being captured during those fleeting three or four seconds
will be my absolute favorites ever. Until the next session when they are usurped
by new absolute favorites ever. I love the rush that comes with editing those
first two or three select shots from a session, and then sharing them with
others to see whether the images fly or flop. And then the giddy relief when
they fly. I love seeing my work in real life in the form of prints and canvases
and albums and cards. I love all these things about being a photographer. I do.
I really do. So what gives then? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
At this point you can just assume there was a lot of thought
and prayer and discussion and soul searching and chocolate and also wine. And
what came out on the other side of all that (wine)? This: </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>I love being a photographer but I need to take a break from
being a photographer in business. </u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
AGGHHH!!!! THERE. I SAID IT. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Are you judging? </i><span style="font-style: normal;">(Because
I am now one of </span><i>those</i><span style="font-style: normal;">
photographers who couldn’t cut it in the biz for the long haul?) </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Do you hate me?</i><span style="font-style: normal;">
(Because you’re a client and now you’re going to have to go searching for a new
photographer?) </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Are you disappointed?</i><span style="font-style: normal;">
(Because now you know that, in fact, I </span><i>can’t</i><span style="font-style: normal;"> do it all?) </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I am ALL of those things. All of them at the same time. And
I am also <i>relieved</i><span style="font-style: normal;"> and </span><i>hopeful</i><span style="font-style: normal;"> and </span><i>happy</i><span style="font-style: normal;">
and </span><i>sad</i><span style="font-style: normal;"> and </span><i>conflicted</i><span style="font-style: normal;"> and </span><i>resolute</i><span style="font-style: normal;"> and </span><i>tired</i><span style="font-style: normal;"> and </span><i>rejuvenated</i><span style="font-style: normal;">. And, apparently, schizophrenic. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
But the bottom line is that as much as I have loved being
Kathryn Shores Photography over the past four years, I need to step back and
take some time to just be Kathryn Shores, photographer. I’ll still be shooting.
I’m looking for new challenges. I want to shoot film. I want to capture better
lifestyle images of my boys. I want to find joy in photographing something
other than people, like landscapes or sports. And I’d love to share these
things with you, if you’d like, either through this blog or my facebook page. I
hope some of you will stick around to see. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
But to my dear clients: I am sorry. I realize now that I
delayed making this decision for so long because I didn’t want to disappoint
you. I have reveled in your kind words and praise over the last four years. I
have taken such pride in seeing your photos displayed in your homes. I have
felt incredible satisfaction knowing that you chose me year after year (after
year). Thank you for all of that. But I am not the only photographer in the
world. Not even close. There are so many wonderful photographers out there—some
of them friends of mine—and I know that they will take great care of you and
your families. A few of my favorites locally are <a href="http://www.jessicaweinstockphotography.com/" target="_blank"><b>Jessica Weinstock Photography</b></a>
and <a href="http://www.stephkelleyphotography.com/blog/blog" target="_blank"><b>Stephanie Kelley Photography </b></a>and <a href="http://www.bellajackson.com/blog/" target="_blank"><b>Bella Jackson Originals</b></a>. Check them out.
Book them now while they still have space. You won’t regret it. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
And I’m not saying this is absolutely the absolute forever
and always the end. I will be honoring all auction sessions purchased in 2014, so
if you have one of those hanging out there, please feel free to contact me to
book your session. In addition, if you are a former client and want to order
prints or files from your past session, you can still do so through the end of this year. I also have a
little something up my sleeve for a special set of mini-sessions in the
Sunshine State this year. And who knows, once I’ve taken some time off to
recharge my batteries and my perspective, I might be back at it sometime.
Because I can’t just let it go entirely. Could you? ;-) </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Here’s a little looksie at some of what I’ve been up to
these past few months when I haven’t been running a business.</div>

The Fall Mini-Sessions are back for their FOURTH year running! This year's mini-sessions will feature sunrise and sunset sessions in a relaxed "green space" setting in Lake County. The simplicity of mini-sessions makes them perfect for capturing your family's unique personality, and their affordability makes them a great way to update your family's photos just in time for the holidays.<br />
<br />
This year, mini-session participants will get TEN high-resolution digital files--more than ever before--delivered on a USB drive for easy transfer to your computer or online accounts. Participants also get extra "goodies" exclusive to the mini-sessions and a discount off print orders including holiday cards!
<br />
<br />
Session space is very limited, so contact me ASAP to reserve your mini-session.<br />
<br />
Hope to see you outside in October!<br />
<br />

Did you know that every KSP digital package comes with a custom coffee table album? In addition to your custom portraits to print and enjoy throughout your home, you get a gorgeous album using your favorite photos from your session. Your album has thick, lay flat pages filled with the faces you love most. Add in a luxurious padded photo cover and you have the perfect keepsake to display in your home. This is one family photo album your friends will WANT to ooh and aah over. That is, after they stop oohing and aahing over the gorgeous portraits hanging on your walls!
<br />
<br />
Here's an album from a recent session. I love that Mom picked a mix of classic portraits and fun, personality-filled photos. Especially those last two :-)<br />

So excited to announce that after a great year of Florida mini-sessions last year (including <a href="http://kathrynshoresphotography.blogspot.com/2012/11/down-on-farm-chicago-north-suburbs.html" target="_blank"><b>these</b></a> and <a href="http://kathrynshoresphotography.blogspot.com/2013/06/throwback-thursday-fiona-lake-forest.html" target="_blank"><b>these</b></a>), I am headed back to Central Florida in September to do it all over again!<br />
<br />
Day one will feature "green space" mini-sessions in West Orange or South Lake counties (think, Winter Garden, Clermont, etc). On Day Two I'll head south and west to Pinellas County (Clearwater, St. Pete) for some sunset beach sessions.<br />
<br />
So which one will you pick? Green and gorgeous or sandy and sensational? Book 'em now because space is limited!
<br />

This is our dear Cooper. He is our baby, our happy boy. His smile is delightful and his laugh infectious. And he has curls. Glorious squishable curls all over the back of his head. And he has spots. I took him out the other night to take some photos with the express desire to capture these last two things. The curls, I'm afraid, will disappear whenever we decide to cut his hair for the first time (not yet, but it's starting to get in his eyes, so the end is nigh). The spots, we think, will be there for awhile, so if you'd like, I will tell you more about them.<br />
<br />
Cooper has something called Mastocytosis. It is a very rare disease in which a person's body produces too many "mast" cells. We all have mast cells; they are the cells that produce hystamine, which wards off bad things that enter our body (think allergies). Cooper's body, however, over-produces these cells. The outward result? Spots. We first started noticing the spots when Cooper was about six months old. They looked like little purple-brown bruises all over his torso. Do you know what you get when you google 'purple bruise spots baby'? Leukemia. For real. Beware Dr. Google. But the combination of the spots and the Google results were enough to get us into the doctor, and after a trip to the pediatrician, the dermatologist and the allergist, we had an answer. It's not leukemia (praise God), but it is rare (so rare that our pediatrician had never seen a case of it before) and a little scary.<br />
<br />
On a day-to-day basis the "masto" is not that big of a deal for Cooper. He has spots, and his skin is extra sensitive to things like sunscreen and tomato sauce and salty foods, but for the most part it's not a biggie. But for us and Cooper it's the 'what ifs' that are scary. People with mastocytosis have too many mast cells. That is they have too many hystamine-producing cells. So what happens if something triggers the production of hystamine in their body? All those extra hystamine-producing cells produce extra amounts of hystamine. Hystamine overload! Yikes!<br />
<br />
Thus, although people with masto are not more likely to have allergies, if they do have an allergic reaction to something, it is much more likely to be severe, and much more likely to result in anaphylaxis. Quadruple yikes! And it's not just food that can trigger hystamine production. What happens when you are stung by a bee or a jelly fish? Your body produces hystamine to fight off the bad stuff entering your body, so even a simple bee sting could be life threatening for Cooper. And who hasn't been stung by a bee in their life time?
<br><br>
The good news for us is that allergies don't run in our family and so far Cooper hasn't shown signs of any food allergies (Eggs: check. Dairy: check. Nuts: check. Seafood: we're still waiting on that one). The bad news is there's no way to know what his reaction to a "hystamine-triggering event" will be until it happens. So until he ever is stung by a bee (or one of the wasps that refuse to leave our deck alone) we won't know if his reaction will be average, severe, or life-threatening.<br />
<br />
So for now we have joined the ranks of the epi-pen carrying parents. We don't leave the house without it, never leave it in the car, and always tell the sitter about it, no matter how unlikely a hystamine reaction may seem. We keep a bottle of benadryl with us most of the time, too. And we hold our collective breaths whenever a bee is spotted within a mile of our baby boy. We're told, although not with any amount of confidence, that Cooper should grow out of the mastocystosis around the time he hits puberty. Until then, I suppose Cooper will always be able to entertain himself with a game of dot-to-dot. And really, truly, if spots (and, fingers crossed, no anaphylaxis) are the worst that ever befall our children, then I am grateful. After all, Google wanted me to believe it was leukemia.<br />
<br />
If you've read this far, bully for you! And if you want to know more, you can learn more about mastocytosis <a href="http://www.tmsforacure.org/welcome.php"><b>HERE</b></a> or <a href="http://www.mastokids.org/"><b>HERE</b></a><br />
<br />
But for now, how about some more pictures of Cooper (and his spots)?<br />

And there is no one anywhere who is "youer" than Evie. She is 100% character personified. Confident and spunky and oh so animated. But you probably could have guessed that from the pictures, or maybe from the red hair. And her little brother Charlie is sweet and handsome and just all around perfection. Sunset never looked quite so energetic as it did this particular evening on the North Shore.

Since it's Thursday, I thought we'd "throwback" to a session from last fall that never got blogged.<br />
<br />
Actually, let's throwback even a little farther than that.<br />
<br />
This is Fiona. Okay, this is Fiona about twelve years ago or so, back when I first met her. She was a spunky little kindergartner and my first Scottish Highland dance student.<br />
<a href="http://kathrynshoresphotography.smugmug.com/photos/i-HVXLgWn/0/O/i-HVXLgWn.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="http://kathrynshoresphotography.smugmug.com/photos/i-HVXLgWn/0/O/i-HVXLgWn.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<a href="http://kathrynshoresphotography.smugmug.com/photos/i-HVXLgWn/0/O/i-HVXLgWn.jpg" imageanchor="1"></a>
Over the four years I was in college, I taught Fiona and her sister Shona dance, and in return their family welcomed me into their home and family; usually sending me home after our lessons with a full stomach and a full tank of gas.<br />
<a href="http://kathrynshoresphotography.smugmug.com/photos/i-dmzFbMz/0/O/i-dmzFbMz.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="http://kathrynshoresphotography.smugmug.com/photos/i-dmzFbMz/0/O/i-dmzFbMz.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<a href="http://kathrynshoresphotography.smugmug.com/photos/i-dmzFbMz/0/O/i-dmzFbMz.jpg" imageanchor="1"></a>After I graduated and moved away, Fiona and Shona continued dancing under another teacher, ultimately both qualifying for the Scottish Highland dancing national championships! (Insert tiniest smidge of pride for the girl who taught them their first pas de basques.)<br />
<br />
Through the magic of Facebook I've gotten to follow along as they've grown into beautiful, talented, athletic, and just all around good young people. So that leads us to last fall when their mom contacted me to do Fiona's senior pictures. Um, yes please! It was awesome to catch up in person with these guys, and Fiona made just about the most beautiful subject a photographer could ask for.<br />
<br />
Fiona graduated last week and is heading to college in Miami in the fall. Congratulations, Fiona! You are lovely inside and out!<br />

What a wonderful first session of Spring this was. It always feels great to be back out shooting in the green grass and warm Lake County sunset. This family, with their abounding love for each other and general awesomeness may have contributed to my joy that evening, too. And really, a start like this to my 2013 family portrait season, can only be a sign of good things to come.<br />

A while back I had the great pleasure of photographing baby Alexa only about a week after she made her world debut. Alexa's family and I go way back to when big sister <a href="http://kathrynshoresphotography.blogspot.com/2010/10/piper-second.html" target="_blank"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75;">Piper was a baby</span></b></a>, and the best news is that Alexa is a baby planner, so I will get to have fun with her two more times in her first year! Life is good.</div>

I tend to go a little MIA in the January/February months. It is a slow time for me business-wise (as few people want to have family portraits done when it is cold enough outside to freeze the snot inside your nose), and following the busy fall rush, I am in need of a little break to unwind and get things organized for the new year.<br />
<br />
But February is rapidly coming to an end, so it's time to break the silence and get back to blogging.
And what better way to do so than by celebrating my sweet baby boy's fifth birthday. FIFTH BIRTHDAY!?!?! Holy. Cow. Max has been requesting a "construction party" for his fifth birthday party roughly since the time his fourth birthday party ended. The good news: I had plenty of time to brainstorm. The bad news: he wanted a construction party in February in Illinois.<br />
<br />
Since we definitely could not hold the party outside (where all good construction parties should be) and our house is a smidge too small to do the party there, we rented a large party space from our town's recreation department to be the build site. The plan? Let the kids go to town with "bricks" (cardboard boxes) and "paint" (art supplies of all different kinds, except (ironically) paint), and build a house. I was a little apprehensive as to whether the idea would be a flop or a triumph, but I need not have worried, because, as all parents know, cardboard boxes are really the world's most perfect toy.<br />
<br />
We topped off the party with a riveting game of "pin the wrecking ball on the crane" and a bulldozer pinata. And after the candles were blown out and the cake was consumed? The kids headed straight back to the cardboard boxes to begin building, decorating, and demoing all over again. Party success.<br />

When I first began offering mini-sessions a few years ago, I wasn't sure if the concept would catch on or if I would want it to. Now, after completing year three of fall minis, I can conclusively say that I love mini-session weekend! It is insane and hectic and just gets my creative and adrenaline juices flowing like wowza!
<br />
<br />
This year, I wanted to give my mini-session families, especially those who come see me every year (love you guys!), a little something different, so I decided to add a tent to the setup. I loved the result with the sweet filtered white light and a slightly whimsical twist.<br />
<br />
Want to do your own tent session? This bad boy is in my garage just waiting for its next set of campers, so come on out!

This has been the year of five person families for me. So many beautiful families with three babies (of all ages), and man has it been great. Photographing five family members is a simultaneous challenge (keeping all those fast feet wrangled in one place!) and joy (so much love! so many laughs!).
<br />
<br />
Here's another family of five that came to see me this year, bringing all kinds of happy with them. We met up in Grayslake to get a little bit urban and then we headed for the woods to get our nature on. Enjoy!</div>

Although I live in Illinois and primarily shoot here in Lake County, I took a trip "home" to Florida this fall and while I was there I offered up a few fall mini-sessions. It was so lovely to be able to shoot in the warm Florida weather surrounded by lots of green grass and warm sunshine. I met up with sweet Ella and her family at<a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Going-Green-Family-Farm/385694828135559?fref=ts" target="_blank"> <b>Going Green Family Farm</b> </a>(coincidentally, in Lake County, Florida), so I had a little geek out moment when I saw Ella and her mom's awesome boots ready for some farm action. (Well, sort of. We didn't ride any tractors or horses or anything, but there were some curious chickens and a pony keeping an eye on us.)

When the mama of these three boys called me to book her session, she informed me that this would be their first "official" family pictures ever. EVER. Um. No pressure. I need not have worried, though, because these guys ROCKED IT. They were just the funnest. As the mama of two boys myself, I had a blast. Throwing rocks. Making poop jokes. Showing off my freaking AWESOME dance skills. For real. AWESOME. And the family? Oh yeah, they had fun, too. No, really. Check 'er out!<br />

I cannot believe that it has been over a year since our little Cooper made his (early and quick) entrance into the world. What an amazing blessing he is to our family. And what an awe-inspiring realization to see that in the span of one year, our little baby has gone from this:

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. More of Cooper's newborn pictures <b><a href="http://kathrynshoresphotography.blogspot.com/2012/01/testing-testing-123.html" target="_blank">here</a>, </b>six months<b> <a href="http://kathrynshoresphotography.blogspot.com/2012/05/baby-shores-v20-is-six-months-old.html" target="_blank">here</a>, </b>and nine months <b><a href="http://kathrynshoresphotography.blogspot.com/2012/09/catching-upmy-beach-babies-chicago-lake.html" target="_blank">here</a></b>. (And, although I've only shared them on my personal FB page, I did do a monthly growth series of Cooper. This is the last picture, but sometime soon I'll get my stuff together and share the whole series together.)<br />
<br />
So how do you celebrate the first birthday of someone with such a sweet smile and such smoochable cheeks? With a Good Day, Sunshine party, of course! Sticking to the yellow and blue theme that has permeated Cooper's first year (even down to his nursery, more on that <a href="http://kathrynshoresphotography.blogspot.com/search/label/Project%20Nursery" target="_blank"><b>here</b></a>), we had a sweet and simple sunshiney party for our sweet and sunshiney baby boy. Join in the fun and enjoy a few snaps from the day:

There is just something wonderful about shooting a family's portraits in their home. The session is simultaneously calm and exciting. The kids are excited to show off their rooms, parents feel relaxed enough to step back and observe, and nothing compares to bringing everyone together in one room and just letting them have fun with one another. As you may have guessed, I loved this lifestyle session in Winnetka. Little Miss made me pretend hot chocolate. I read Rapunzel and listened to Green Eggs and Ham. And I witnessed a whole lot of family love zinging around one beautiful house. Le sigh....</div>

This sweet family came to see me in September, and they even brought their new puppy with them! We had some beautiful evening light that night, and the addition of three energetic kiddos and their pup made for a fun-filled twilight. I was exhausted at the end, but I could use the exercise, so all-in-all it was a perfect equation! </div>

It's only been two months since we went on our vacation to the beach. No time like the present to get things blogged. Especially since fall is coming and that means lots and lots of sessions to blog! Time to catch up....<br />
<br />
Cooper was nine months old when we were at the beach this summer (and, in case you're wondering, he'll be 11 months old tomorrow! Agh!!!!), so I wanted to grab some cute beachy, nine-monthy shots while we were there. Couldn't leave the big kid out, either. He was equal parts grouch and crazy that day, though. So basically like a normal day, but that meant pictures of the two of them were about as likely as me running in a bathing suit. Very, very unlikely.<br />
<br />

My so sweet, so adorable godson Blaz (remember his <a href="http://kathrynshoresphotography.blogspot.com/2011/08/baby-blazs-book-shower-lake-county-baby.html" target="_blank"><b>book-themed baby showe</b>r</a>?) is turning ONE in just a few days! So when he came to play with me at the beach this summer, we had a little fun getting ready for his big day. After all, you only turn one once, so you have to get your cake smashing skills in tip top shape before the big day arrives.<br />
<br />
After we got Blaz cleaned up, big sister Nora (yes, you've seen her <a href="http://kathrynshoresphotography.blogspot.com/2011/01/maxs-future-bride.html" target="_blank"><b>before</b></a>) and mom and dad got in on the act. This family's awesomeness just shines through, doesn't it? And I'm not just saying that because they're some of my best friends. But they are, so you know. Anyhow, love you guys! Happy Birthday, Blaz!!!
