What is a spokesmodel?

Katie Maier Photography is looking for high school juniors that are outgoing and willing to be spokesmodels! What is a spokesmodel? Basically just like it sounds...a model that speaks. To be more precise it is a model that promotes and advertises for KMP at their school to their friends and classmates. Spokesmodels will receive $75 off their session, a Facebook timeline cover, an online sharable photo gallery, and marketing material with their images!!

I'm looking for guys and gals in the class of 2014 that are outgoing, friendly, not afraid to be themselves and are not shy in front of the camera. I'm looking to get these sessions done before the end of the current school year so my reps can promote me to their friends before the end of the school year. So say you don't want your senior pics done in the spring? No problem. We can have a mini-senior session now to use for promotional materials and then have a full session in the summer or fall. Sound like something you or someone you know would want to do? Contact me and I will get you all the details and let you know how to apply!

Worst blogger ever?

So I am sitting here in bed responding to some emails and wedding inquries and realized I haven't blogged since December 12, 1945...ok so not that long, but a really long time! I must be one of the worst bloggers ever.

It's not like I don't want to blog and share my thoughts and insights about photography with you but to me getting my clients their pictures is most important and I put blogging on the back burner as they say. This is the first time in over a year that I am actually caught up on editing. Well, if you don't count my family pictures. I guess they are even put after blogging.

My goal/plan/wish is to blog more and showcase each session that I do. The good old FB is not very friendly to businesses that have "pages" these days and often times most of my fans don't see my posts..so I am hoping that blog posts will reach more of you and also showcase more of my work.

Here is some of my most recent work.

More pictures of Ellie and her amazing adventure into this world is coming soon!

Photographer's Challenge Weeks 2 & 3

I did do "week 2" last week but haven't posted it yet so I am going to post weeks 2 & 3 together! For week 2 the subject was clouds. Being winter in MN clouds mean the whole sky is one huge cloud or there are no clouds, so I actually captured this picture last summer. Check out the amazing sky!

Week 2:

This week's challenge is the color RED. I did a session with some wonderful girls last June and they were so great and really loved the balloons. I loved how this turned out.

Week 3:

Remember you can participate too! See "Week 1" for details! Thanks!

Photographer's 52 Week Captures Challenge

One of my New Year's Resolutions this year is to blog more! So when  I came across this Photographer's Challenge on FB from Photographer's Connection I decided it would be a good way for me to blog and share each week plus also take some fun pictures! Everyone is welcome to participate too! Week One is a self portrait. I have noticed since becoming a photographer the less and less I am actually in pictures so it is good to be forced to take pics of yourself. I actually took this with my husband's ipad, but hey it's a self portrait, right? Also, my darling babe, Ainsley is captured too. Hope you enjoy checking in each week!

Week 1: Self Portrait
