Sunday was my first bridal show ever at the 2011 Clarksville Brides Wedding and Event Showcase put on by Clarksville Brides.  In almost 7 years now of being in business and shooting weddings, I have never participated in a bridal show. It was a lot of work and I did have fun. I was a little nervous because I didn't know what it was going to be like. I usually meet with all of my couples and devote an hour or more to them just chatting. I wasn't sure how a quick in and out atmosphere was going to work. Clarksville bridal show is fairly small and I had time to talk with most of the people that came by and wanted to talk. I met lots of fun couples that I hope to be hearing from soon. The fashion show was fun but, a bit too loud and it made it really hard to talk while that was going on, since I was right next to the stage. I thought I was going to loose my voice at one point from talking so much. I didn't really do a great job taking pictures of my booth but here are a few. Thanks to everyone that stopped by!

Ok, it is time to start booking your holiday mini session. The sessions will be 20 minutes long and you will have 15-20 proofs to view online. I am doing things a bit different. Instead of just picking one day I am going to open it up to any available weekday in the month of November at any location in Clarksville.


OR Saturday morning Nov 13th I am going to create a Holiday Studio set (5 time slots open)

Package 1 $100
Includes Session Fee, 1 Holiday card file and 1 image file on disc for you to print from.

Package 2 $150
Includes Session Fee, 1 Holiday card file and ALL image files on disc for you to print from.

I will give you information for good places to print your cards and photos from. Email me for more information or to book your session. 

I know this is a crazy low price but I have had this fun idea swimming around in my head for a while now. This is all about having fun. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays probably because of all of the colors and the fall crisp air. Children have such a happy spirit this time of year. I can't wait to see everyone's costumes! Sign up quick! email me: laura@laurakayphoto.com Also if you would like to participate in this but 10/19 does not work for you, leave me a comment below with which date would and if I get enough requests I might can add another date.

Ok so here I am giving away 3 portrait sessions here in Clarksville in hopes of saying hello and introducing myself and my photography. Click here to go to my FB page. "Like" it, write on my wall and post a link to your profile. I will announce the winners on Wednesday Sept 1st at 3pm. Show me some love and pass this on! Thanks for everyone's support!!! xoxo Laura

If you have been reading the blog you already know I am moving to Clarksville, Tennessee next month! Clarksville is about 40 min northwest of Nashville and that whole area has been hit with some terrible flooding. We close on our house later this month and being in Virginia we can't just go check on it. We had asked our Realtor to go check and she couldn't even get to our house because the roads to our neighborhood and the surrounding area including her office is full of water. Last night a friend of mine here in Virginia that use to live in Clarksville asked me how our house was and where we it was. She told me a friend of a friend had some pictures they had taken up on Facebook. So I decided to look and when I came across this one I was so super excited to see our house and to see it was high and dry! Isn't that amazing?! Josh and I are very thankful and yet still sad for the rest of the area. Well I just wanted to give a little update on our house, our move and the flood. By the way if anyone knows anyone in Clarksville or Nashville let them know I am offering discounts on sessions and weddings for the next few months until I get moved in and business get back up. THANKS!!!
