Photo submitted by Amanda + John

... Amanda P. and John M.!! Here is their story, told by Amanda:

"John and I met almost one year ago (7 more days until our anniversary! August 19th). My best friend Olivia and [John's] good friend DJ set it up to introduce us (Olivia and DJ are recently engaged). I went to see John perform in the band he was in at the time. Surprisingly we hit it off immediately and started spending a lot of time together. A few weeks after we met, at Olivia and DJ's apartment, John got on one knee and asked me to "change my relationship status on Facebook to 'in a relationship'"... It was very cute. Of course I said Yes!

Since then we have been going strong, sharing a lot of common interests such as music/concerts, playing pool, hanging out with mutual friends and family, and a general love for living life to the fullest. He has become my best friend and my biggest supporter, and I for him. We bring out the best in each other, and I hope to enjoy many more happy anniversaries together. He makes me the happiest I have ever been, and I can't imagine my life without him.

Attached is a picture of us just hanging out together. I love it because it shows his goofy/playful personality, how happy we are and how much fun we have just being together.

I would like to win the photo session for us because I think it would be a perfect way to end the year we have spent together so far and just having fun, getting to know each other and falling in love. Plus, his mom loves pictures of us! :)

This is an awesome idea, and I'm glad I get to participate! :) Hopefully one day I can book you for my wedding... lol. A girl can hope :)

Thanks girl! Love stories are so much fun. I love love :)"

Amanda and John's story made me laugh-out-loud, especially when he asked her to change her Facebook Relationship Status. And I love that they wanted pictures not only to commemorate their first year together, but to share their photographs with family who love photos of the two of them! So sweet!

What should I wear?
Something comfortable, classic, and colorful! Layers work well, especially if you want to change the look without making a complete wardrobe change. Make sure your clothing is not coordinated to the point where it looks too uniform, unless you are going for a very specific look.

How many images will I receive?

Your session will result in 4 perfectly and professionally edited, magazine quality images. Please keep in mind that only the absolute best images are selected. Of course, you may purchase additional images from your session. Digital, web-size images are included with every session, so you can share them with your family and friends on your Facebook page, and other social networking sites!

Am I required to buy prints?  

In order to ensure KellieAnn’s ability to dedicate as much time and attention to detail as possible for each and every client, there is a $50 minimum order requirement per session. Clients should expect to invest a minimum of $125 in their custom photography experience with KellieAnn Reynolds. Digital web-size images are also included with every print order.

Do you offer A la Carte?

A la Carte prints begin at $20 for gift prints (size 8x12 and smaller) and $50 for wall prints 11x14 and larger. All images are professionally printed on archival quality paper and come protected with a luster coating and linen texture. All prints 5x7 and larger are mounted to ensure durability and longevity.

What if it rains or the weather is bad on the day of our mini session?
In case of inclement weather, mini photo sessions will be held on our scheduled rain date. If you have any questions about weather, please call KellieAnn at 330.776.8868.

Sierra Fist!

I've heard a lot of friends confess over being addicted to soft drinks, and it's actually pretty scary how much of it people consume. I have never really liked pop because it's not quenching, it's carbonated, and gives me an upset tummy. Instead I drink water, hot tea, juice, and milk. But a lot of my friends drink so much pop that when they've run out or tried to cut down, they claim to get stomach cramps and headaches and go back to drinking pop again.

So one night my husband Chris and I, along with our friend Rob, decided to create a stop-motion animation using photography. Sierra Fist! is about a kid getting mugged on the street for his can of pop.
