Giving Back That Special Feeling!

As a child growing up my self esteem was low. I always felt out of place, and not nearly pretty enough. I still remember the day my mother took me to have my glamor portraits taken….I felt like someone special, someone important. I would like to return that feeling to someone else now.

Does this sound like someone you know? I’m looking for a senior who is willing to be Kyla Branch Photography’s next top model! This person needs to be nominated by someone other than him/herself. Tell me why he/she is deserving of this day of glamor. No entry will go unnoticed. Even if you just think he/she is just beautiful because they are your son/daughter. You never know your story might just pull at my heart strings. I especially want nominations for seniors who’s family just cant afford the give their child that special memory. All entries must be in to me by next Saturday April 12th, 2008. More than one person can nominate the senior…in fact I would love it!

I’m looking forward to your entries. I will announce the winner Saturday night!

I need a boat!

Oh my goodness. I think we can call off the rain dances now. It has pored here every other day for the last month. I’m starting to wonder if I should trade my truck in on a boat! I do have a session Saturday with a wonderful family. I also have the privilege of helping my good friend and pregnant fellow photog Ashley Isaac with a wedding Saturday night. Y’all keep your fingers crossed on that one! It will be my first wedding. Now lets just hope the pregnancy sickness holds out on Ashley that day. Anyway, hope everyone is well. I’ll probably be posting Sunday. See you then!

Looking for a Proposal…..

Valentines Day is coming up. Are you or someone you know going to pop the question? Why not give me a call or send me an email. I am giving away a free proposal session! Just think of how excited she’ll be to have the memories of that moment forever. Heck, I’ll even help you come up with a really cool way or place to propose. Oh, did I mention all this month couples sessions are half off. Proposals, engagements, anniversary’s are all half off! If you’ve been thinking of getting pictures with your sweetie and have put it off, don’t wait anymore. Now is the time. I hope to hear from you soon.

100 Days of School

Sorry couldn’t figure out how to rotate it!

Corran and his classmates celebrated their 100th day of school yesterday. Mrs. Jones his teacher came up with great ideas for them to learn to count. They made 100 footprints, 100 hand prints, and popped 100 balloons! I wish I would have been there to see that part. After all of the counting they took a break and had cotton candy, candy, cupcakes and treats. Thank you Mrs. Jones for making learning fun for our kids.

Counting My Blessings

I have had a few days to slow down and actually catch up. Yeah! I am so thankful that I decided to make a leap of faith and start my business. These last few months of 2007 have been a dream come true for me. If someone would have told me at the first of the year I would be here I wouldn’t believe them. Thank you to all my wonderful clients. I have meet so many new and wonderful people and their families. I have lots of memories and stories to take with me from each of you. Most of all Thank YOU for allowing me to pursue my dream. I have had so much support from my community, family, and neighbors. It warms my heart and I deeply appreciate it. I must thank my wonderful husband for his loyal support and babysitting! I would be nothing without your friendship and love. Last but not least…my boys have shared their Mommy many afternoons and eaten lots of kid cuisines( I really don’t think they mind,they actually beg for them). Thank you boys.I love you Tim, Corran, and DAB! I look forward to 2008 and to all of you who have appointments. I can’t wait to meet you! If you don’t have an appointment yet, what are you waiting for? Call me. I will only be taking a limited number of appointments a week. I really like to be able to give each of my clients my all. I also have small children and I don’t want to miss their childhood. Thank you for understanding. I hope everyone has a safe rest of 2007 and a wonderful 2008.

Until next year,

Kyla

A Little Break

Just a little note to let everyone know I will be out of town for the next couple of days. Tim and I finally found a couple of days that both of our schedules match up. Yeah! I will however have my laptop and check emails. If you want to contact me and set up an appointment please email me and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Thanks for looking at my work. Come back soon. Have a great week!

Family Picture Day

I have had several families interested in taking pictures at a Christmas tree farm. This will be the perfect setting for your Christmas Cards!!!! If you think you and your family would be interested in joining in, let me know and I will set a date and time. This would be a great opportunity to get some extended family pictures… grandparents, aunts, cousins etc. Give me a call soon. The more the merrier and the more discounts I can give!

Running behind

Sorry for not posting lately…It’s been one of those weeks. My grandmother passed away last night after a battle with COPD. It is hard to see her go, but I am glad she will not suffer any longer. I noticed today that being the photographer for most of the pictures leaves you without many of you and the ones you love. I have made a promise to myself to let others handle my camera sometimes….only if they let me hold some sort of ransom in case of an accident.

Thanks to LA 103.5 for the endorsement! Hopefully soon we can take the promotional shots of their crazy d.j.’s.

I can’t wait to start on everyone’s holiday pictures. Make sure you give me a call today and let me put you on my schedule for yours! I look forward to talking to you.
