Marcy’s Baby Shower

Kara Frans — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 20:30:14 +0000

I had the pleasure of photographing this fabulous baby shower a few weeks ago for Marcy and her soon to be baby Laila. Marcy just happened to stop in our new studio in the CopperWillow Paper Studio on Washington Blvd here in Culver City – she randomly took my card needing a photographer and voila! I’m so glad to have met Marcy and her friends – I feel like I just fit right in with them! And, don’t even get me started on the best tamales I’ve eaten in a long time – Marcy’s mom made them and, as a self-proclaimed tamale expert, they were out of this world. YUM! The shower had all of Marcy’s wonderful friends from high-school, college and beyond. Plus, her adoring aunts, mom, mother-in-law and cousins are all looking forward to early July when baby Laila is coming out. I can’t even wait to meet her! Thank you Marcy, for such a fab shower!

Carly and Matt are one of the cutest couples I have photographed in a long time. Their wedding was in the fall of 2008, at the Arizona Grand Resort – it was absolutely beautiful and so much fun. I wanted to show off their fabulous album by Couture Book. It’s from one of their modern lines, the New York, and it’s sleek with an outside hard case. Gorgeous! Congrats Carly and Matt!

The Moss Families

I was thrilled to do some traditional portraits for my favorite friends and clients, the Moss Family. I’ve been lucky enough to photograph Aaron and Rosa and their two beautiful daughters for the last few years so this was a very nice surprise to be able to photograph for Aaron’s parents, Sheila and Jerry. This is an early birthday present for Sheila – her two boys and their families. Thank you Moss Family for having me out to photograph for you – I had such a nice time!

Amy and Brian are an awesome couple out of Phoenix and I had the privilege of photographing their fabulous wedding in Arizona at the Sunridge Canyon Country Club in Fountain Hills. Such a gorgeous day! Their album just came in this week and I wanted to show off how beautiful their images are. Enjoy your album and thank you again for such a wonderful wedding to photograph!

The Johnson Family

I’m proud to say I’ve known this family for ages – it was my days working at USA Networks that put Gloria and myself together. We had so much fun on the road back then – traveling from town to town and who can forget our activities? White water rafting, golf, hot-air ballooning and running around Yellowstone. LOVED IT! Meanwhile, fast forward many years and I’m thrilled to be able to photograph for them. It was actually a nice warm day on the beach – the perfect weather for chasing their adorable daughter, F. She just turned two and here are some amazing images of that morning. Thank you so much, Gloria and Scott, for such a wonderful session!

Get a free “get to know you” session…

Wow! I can’t believe it’s been ages since I’ve last posted. We’ve been through Christmas, New Years and now with So Cal’s 85 degree weather, I think the holidays are LONG gone. That said, we are now into wedding season – my favorite!! So, that why I’m offering a FREE “Get to Know You” or otherwise known as engagement session if a couple books me for their wedding by the end of the month!! WOO HOO!! Images from the gorgeous Carly and Matt’s engagement session coming up in just a bit…Stay tuned!

The fabulous Burns Family

My husband and I met Sabrina and Scott many years ago, pre-kids when a mutual friend (thank you, Christa!) introduced us. She said we have so much in common especially living a mile apart in this metropolis. It wasn’t until both Sabrina and I were pregnant that we finally started emailing, then with the birth of our daughters, we finally started to get the babies (and ourselves for well-needed Coffee Bean) together every chance we got. Fast forward a few years and I am honored to call Sabrina one of my best friends. We are like two peas in a pod (except she is the fashionable pea) and I love having her and family in our life. Photographing for them is always so much fun and their daughter always makes me smile. My hope is that both of our daughters will continue to let me photograph them well into their teen years but I have a feeling that they might start to run from the camera about age 9. Enjoy your images and thank you three for being such a big part of my life. I love you all!

My best sister

Kara Frans — Sat, 06 Dec 2008 00:15:09 +0000

I think my sister is my number one fan, with maybe the exception of Meredith She is always unconditionally supportive and really keeps me going. She is a great go-go gal for marketing, PR and just about everything else. I can’t wait to return the favor one day although I’m still trying to figure out how to do that – short of taking pictures of her family. In 50 years, when we get to the old-age home, I’ll let her be my room-mate.

She won’t let me photograph a “proper” session – just a few snapshots of the kids so I took my niece and nephew to Kenneth Hahn Park here in Los Angeles and we came home with these wonderful images. Too bad it gets dark so early these days – I would have stayed as long as I could as the light was beautiful and M’s dress was the perfect contrast to the grass and the forest, but I think it would have been dark by then. And, R. was starting to melt down as you can see from the last image, but M. could have kept smiling forever. Thank you, Vicki, for everything you have done for me. I’m looking forward to our next adventure – I love you!

The Goodwin Family

I had so much fun at this session, especially watching J. riding around on his new John Deere! I photographed the Goodwin Family last year and one of the best parts of my job is watching the kids grow from year to year. This one was no exception - J. still has his fabulous curly hair, but just a little taller this year and it was so nice to see his wonderful smile again. Thank you!

Julia, Kevin and C.

Oh my gosh – I love seeing C. grow up! I’ve been so lucky to photograph for Julia and Kevin since the adoption of C. and all the sessions have been such fun – from C. standing on the grass for the first time to running around just trying to keep up with him. And, for all of you Michigan State fans out there – check out C throwing that football! Watch out class of 2024! Thanks for such a fun session – I just loved it!
