New Beginnings- kim curran

Erika has been making a few changes in her life these days. A major one has been changing careers & taking a position in Real Estate with Willis Allen. She contacted me in need of a head shot. We got a few nice options, she's cute so it made my job easier. Which one do you think she picked? Click here to see if you are right.

Downtown with the Caltabellotta Family - kim curran

This was a fun shoot, but then again anytime I get to spend with my friend Jen is fun. We usually do neutral colors & natural locations for her annual family photo session. This year, however, we were inspired by her daughter's outfit. We went a bit more bold with color and chose an urban location. I think I stretched her comfort zone a bit but still maintained her personality. I am loving the images! What do you think, Jen?

Do Photographers Read my Blog? kim curran

Who reads this? I'm guessing my clients take a look when their session is featured. I like to think that some friends and family read occasionally to lend support and to make sure I spell words like occasionally correctly. BUT do photographers read it? I don't know. Maybe. Well just in case you are a photographer (or an artist of some sort) & somehow found yourself here (thank you for stopping by), this is for you.

10 Things Every Creative Person (That’s YOU) Must Learn. Take a look at a blog by Chase Jarvis. There is some good, useful information for you there...keep learning.


Oh, BTW, do you like my new picture up in the header? Isabelle took it:)

Keep Learning ~ kim curran San Diego Photographer

A few years back, I joined with writer Michelle Zive for a "how to take better portraits" article for San Diego Family Magazine. See it here for some simple tips that will get you taking better pictures right now.

I found this sidewalk painting in my neighborhood, thought I'd share it with you.

I HEART Faces- kim curran photography



I heart faces is a website that has weekly photography contests and promotes photographers to the world & each other.

Typically all contest entries are required to include a human face. This week the contest is a bit different. The theme is “Raise Your Hands!” I thought I would enter this art I did with my daughter's school to help raise funds for their art department. This is my very first time entering a "I heart faces" contest, hope I did it right....wish me luck.

Inspire...Be Inspired - Kim Curran

Inspire, be inspired.............that's kind of my unofficial mantra. Do you have a mantra? You can use mine, if you like, until you find your own. Lately I've been inspired to create Photography with Typography, that's what I'm calling it for now although I don't really like that title.

What do you think? Is there one that speaks to you? You may take it if you want. Put it on your blog or on your face book page. Just please link it back to this post & leave me a comment or shoot me an e-mail so I can see where you put it & how you used it. 

Also, do you have a quote or a saying that is special to you? Maybe you would like me to create a Photography with Typography (that's just not working) just for you. Let me know. And maybe you have a suggestion as to what to call my new art.

my favorite xoxo

Antoinette:

I came across this sign in my neighborhood this morning. I was compelled to photograph it. I did so in the rain. If you look closely, you can see the raindrops on my lens. Hope she calls....don't you?

   

The Girls Next Door - Kim Curran San Diego Photographer

These are my neighbors...well, they were. The youngest just left to join her older sister at UC Davis. Crazy, they were 5 & 7 when they moved in next door to my then boyfriend (now husband) 13 years ago. Look at them now....beauty & brains. Good job, Maureen. Good luck, girls next door. Your future is so bright.
