I would like to think that my silliness comes across in the photos that I take. Thanks Ian for capturing my silly side while we were working in the new office the other day!

Woohoo! If you haven’t heard already, HA! Photography has an office space! A few months ago a good friend of mine sent an email out to several creative people in Orlando asking if we would like to share an office/meeting/coworking space with her company. After a few months of planning, I am excited to announce that it is done! I am so excited to have a space to meet our friends and clients in.

Prospective clients: Looking for a photographer for your wedding or portrait session in Orlando? Send me an email and let me know if you would like to set up a meeting in our new space.

Current clients: Would you like to come in and order that canvas print that you’ve been wanting to hang in your house? Send me an email and we can set up a time for you to see our new sample albums and canvas prints.

Karie Sue Creations! http://www.heatherahrens.com/blog/2009/09/giveaway-karie-sue-creations/ http://www.heatherahrens.com/blog/2009/09/giveaway-karie-sue-creations/#comments Thu, 10 Sep 2009 14:00:05 +0000 Heather http://www.heatherahrens.com/blog/?p=1385 I met Karie at Malisa and Brian’s wedding back in August. She made the super amazing veil and hairpieces that Malisa wore on her wedding day. You can find Karie’s gorgeous hairpieces here:  Karie Sue Creations

Karie shares a few words about herself and her business:

“Spending the last three years in HR, I worked to help fit people in the jobs that they were made for.  One way to discover this was to ask, “What game did you play as a kid.”  It is a way to find out what a person most enjoyed.  When I was a little girl I had several games but the one I played most was “design.”  I designed doll homes, dresses, accessories, anything and from anything.  As I got older I knew I had to do something that would earn a paycheck, and being a girl who enjoyed so many games… It wasn’t too hard too do.  The problem was that the thing I loved most was only an afterthought in my demanding weeks.

One night, I invited a friend over to knit together.   I called my friend to ask what she thought of switching from knitting to making feather hair pins.  Being the open-minded person that she is, she agreed, but kept her knitting in tow.  That night I made about 10 beautiful hair pieces and my friend asked to wear one to work the next day.  They were a hit, many people started asking me about them. Two months later, I left my job to continue making them, as well as jewelry and wedding veils.

I named my company KarieSue Creations, KarieSue because it’s a nickname my younger brothers and sister call me.  And my tag line is “Socially Responsible Art.”  In everything I do, I ask “Where does this come from?” and with everything I sell, I ask, “Who can also benefit?”  Most everything I have comes from recycled materials and every month I have a featured charity who will receive a portion of the proceeds of that month.   I love seeing people get so excited over my creations and I love to support so many great causes, here and abroad with my creativity. I am the most fulfilled person I have ever been.”

Karie is giving away this beautiful barrette to one lucky commenter. In order to win, leave a comment on the post below answering this question:  ” Who can benefit from your life, what can you do to make a difference in someone’s life today?”

Comments must be received by Monday, September 14th at 9 am in order to win. The winner will be chosen at random, by the random number generator.

This week we have had a few requests for event coverage, not our normal wedding coverage. I will be photographing a birthday celebration in the next few weeks and it got me thinking about the next phase of HA! Photography. We are growing. As our past clients are having kids and their families are growing, we want to grow too.

So world, I am putting it out there to you. I want to photograph more events. Things like, Bridal Showers, Bar Mitzvahs, Birthday Parties, you name it. If you are looking for someone to photograph your next event, please contact me here.

The only real time I’ve ever spent at UCF was in the old outdoor swimming pool doing backflips off the diving board. In high school our swim team would practice in the occasional heated waters of UCF’s swimming pool. As a diver the heat was necessary, as jumping in and out of a chilly pool in the middle of November is not what I think of when I think of the word fun. Oh to be a sophomore in highschool again.

When Erica suggested that we do their Summer Style: Friends photosession at UCF I was so excited! UCF has some great places to photograph as the school is one of the largest, if not the largest in the state. Erica and her 4 sorority sisters met up with me at the fountain at UCF. That was really the only logical meeting place from my tiny knowledge of UCF. Erica, Rachel, Mich, Lindsay and Amy are in the Sigma Phi Lamda sorority at UCF. From the way they talked about their friendship and their love of their sorority I knew that there was something special about this group of girls. They are seriously some of the kindest fun loving girls I have ever had a chance to spend an hour with. That hour was great!

After coming back from Europe all of 4 days ago I am anxious to dive into photographing people again.

I am super excited to announce Summer Sessions! I really love the idea of Summer Style: Friends! How cool would it be to have photos taken of you with your friends laughing and just having a good time? Summer Style: Love! is similar to our popular In Love Sessions. Summer Style: Me! is a brand new session geared towards the individual. Want some super cool photos to put on your facebook or blog? This is the session for you.

Stay tuned for the giveaways we have planned. There will be a new giveaway Monday – Wednesday this week. Today’s giveaway is by far the best we have planned for the summer and it launches in just a few hours. This weeks discounts are the biggest that HA! Photography has ever done, so don’t miss out. The promotions only last until Friday!
