https://karasmedley.wordpress.com/2014/02/02/foster-kittens-coral-river
Kara Smedley Images Website. Foster Kittens: Coral and River. February 2, 2014. After a very busy holiday season, we were finally at home for a long enough stretch to take in new foster kittens in mid-January. Much older than the 5-6 week old kittens we typically foster, Coral. Were a rambunctious pair of brothers who made us laugh with their acrobatics and aerial Jedi battles. Tools to save the shot. They’re both purr machines and super cuddly, but we will definitely be sticking to the younger, le...

DC: Mini Engagement Session | Kara Smedley Images
https://karasmedley.wordpress.com/2014/08/12/dc-mini-engagement-session
Kara Smedley Images Website. DC: Mini Engagement Session. August 12, 2014. After selecting a wedding day and venue, the selection of a photographer was the foremost wedding planning task on my mind. And compared to the previous two decisions, it was by far the most labor intensive! As a photographer myself, I knew that I would want to find a photographer with an artist’s eye, so I researched local photographers via sites like Capitol Romance. And United with Love. Where our ceremony would be held in June.

Vacation: Hampton, Virginia | Kara Smedley Images
https://karasmedley.wordpress.com/2014/04/25/vacation-hampton-virginia
Kara Smedley Images Website. Vacation: Hampton, Virginia. April 25, 2014. The day after we became engaged, Jonathan and I hit the road for Hampton, Virginia. At the Mariners’ Museum. The Monitor and the Merrimac were the first American ironclad. Ships, which clashed during the Civil War. The museum itself was quite small, but very well-designed. You can see that Jonathan enjoyed the “Shipwrecked! It was February, so not the best time to visit the coast, and the day we visited Fort Monroe. The fort, initi...

Kara Smedley Images Website. People: Henry and Norah. September 14, 2014. In mid-March a very special holiday comes along for us nerdy folk, called “ Pi Day. 8221; A celebration of the number. 3.14 . . . and mathematics in general, it’s also a great excuse to have a pie contest. Above is my entry, one of Jonathan’s favorites- an embellishment of the pecan pie recipe on the Karo syrup bottle. But luckily I already have one that Aunt Linda had given me years before. (Thanks, Aunt Linda! The contrast of the...

Kara Smedley Images Website. February 4, 2014. Candace and I have been friends for years- since we both lived in California! So when she asked me to snap some head shots, I said . . . “No Way! 8221; Just joking. But I. Hesitant, given I’d never snapped head shots and don’t really know what casting directors were looking for. The result? Some pretty portraits in Meridian Hill Park. On a chilly January day! To Jonathan’s dismay, I’m addicted to the Investigation Discovery. The above shot shows my initial e...

https://karasmedley.wordpress.com/2014/03/03/dc-were-engaged
Kara Smedley Images Website. DC: We’re Engaged! March 3, 2014. As a perpetual planner and continual list-maker, I appreciated Jonathan’s well-planned proposal which slightly poked fun at my habit. (In fact, I have “write engagement blog post” on a list, just waiting to be crossed off as I type this! The thoughtful and simple proposal was reflective of our natural connection, so without further ado: Our Engagement Story. Thanks to a Pinterest. By the time I had placed my coat on the back of the couch, Jon...

Kara Smedley Images Website. January 27, 2014. We spent Christmas in Kansas City with Jonathan’s maternal family and were thrilled to meet the newest member: Joel Everett! Born November 27th, he was a month old and adorable! Above, the new uncle contemplates his new role in life. Fittingly enough, my only photos from Christmas Day are of Jonathan and Joel. The day after Christmas, Allison allowed me to tag along on her Ladies’ Lunch at. But I didn’t need to be in order to thoroughly enjoy the food! We al...

Kara Smedley Images Website. DC: American Geophysical Union Headshots. October 28, 2014. I’m 7 months behind in editing/posting photos and you’d think it was because I got married or we went on a month-long honeymoon or because we moved to Kansas City . . . but it’s really because I’m so committed to my day-job. As a one-woman show and Manager of Student Programs for the American Geophysical Union. I put in 10-12 hour days year-round and when I see all of my hard work pay off at our annual meeting. A sin...
