Happy April, y’all!

During my time away, I’ve been reflecting on business and refocusing business and changing my business. Other than a slight logo change, you might not have noticed much else since I haven’t updated since the last post of that gorgeous baby boy. But much is changing and has changed already. Let’s bullet-point it:

• During my many years in business, photographing everything from military homecomings to weddings, I’ve had the honor of being part of many joyous and beautiful moments, which has also given me the chance to try on my creative hat in a variety of settings. In my time of “silence,” I was reminded that I can’t be all things to all people. I would rather be amazing and give more time and attention and quality to fewer areas than be good (but not amazing) in all areas. Focus focus focus (pun intended!).
• Announcing: I will now be specializing in children and families. When I got down to the most honest of questions with myself, I realized I am most in love with photography when I’m working with families. Whether I’m photographing a newborn, a live birth (oh yes, I will be offering those types of sessions in the future, though limited), chasing a toddler, focusing on the beauty of a senior daughter or on a handsome senior son (hey, I have one of those RIGHT NOW!), or in general making a fool of myself to get a whole family to look at me at the same time (not easy, not easy…the looking part, I mean. I’m very good at making a fool of myself.), I love every minute.
• Which leads to this: no more weddings. (Well, ONE more wedding, but they are family, so it doesn’t count. I mean, it counts, but…ok, never mind.) And that means what you might think it means — I’m no longer in business with the amazing, beautiful Kelsey Ann. I did not come to this decision easily. Much sleep was lost over the decision, but ultimately, I had to do what I had to do. Likewise, I no longer share studio space with her. Studio K2 is no more (or perhaps is no more as it originally was). Again, this decision was not an easy one, but it was one I made based on what I needed to do for me and mine. And though the decision was not easy, I’ve been at peace with it, and I’ve been able to sleep and move on. If you are in the market for a wedding photographer, then, please contact me and I will direct you accordingly.
• Because of the changes, I reorganized this blog to include only those posts that fit the area I’m now specializing in. All other posts — engagement, weddings, rock the dress, etc. — have been moved to a special archived section of this site. They can now be found at: http://archived.klockephotography.com Never mind. It’s all back here on this blog now, as previous clients were having a hard time finding their sessions. It’s all good, though, because I love all my work and all my clients!
• Starting April 5, I will be sending out a weekly update newsletter (short!) with what’s new and going on with Klocke Photography, my personal blog, and The Tiara Project. Each issue will also feature bonuses/gifts/whatever, only available to subscribers. You can join up here: http://eepurl.com/wjOhr (MailChimp link) If you’re not an email list kind of person but want to stay updated, here’s the RSS feed link: http://klockephotography.com/feed/

• New portfolio site coming this week!

One final note:
