My recent e-session by the Charles River with Rebecca & Jason has been picked up by Whimsical Wonderland Weddings out of the United Kingdom.   The blogger, Louise, is a sweetheart and I’m honored that she liked my work enough to feature it.   There are many examples of inspiring photography on the site, please give it a look!

In other news, klc photography is now an officially registered business!  I’m excited that my business continues to grow, and while I have to start paying taxes, I also get to write off my expenses – hello new camera!

I have begun to print and frame many of my photos from India & Nepal.  If you’re interested in purchasing any of the photos, please contact me.  I’m offering framed prints for as little as $25.

And finally, many/most of you know the news, but klc photography is expecting a baby photographer-to-be in July…

Since my Valentine’s Day promotion was such a hit I’ll be offering a maternity/baby deal to be announced next week.  Keep your eyes here for the details.

Best wishes for a beautiful and relaxing weekend.

Becky is an old college friend and sorority sister of mine. She has a bright and energetic personality and a laugh that is downright infectious. When she met Jason a few years ago, we all quickly knew that they would be together forever. Becky and Jay live in Cambridge’s Kendall Square and often walk home together over the Longfellow Bridge, so for our engagement shoot the three of us took a stroll by the Charles on a gorgeous spring day.  I had a lot of fun editing these and giving them a light and whimsical feel, but more importantly I’m thankful to have spent a few hours with two lovely friends.

I shot a ton of these trees. The blossoms were in full bloom and it was just gorgeous. Days like these really remind me how much I love BostonThis is one of my favorite photos of Jay from the whole shoot – he looks handsome and confidentAfter a quick stop to survey the skyline from the bridge, we continued on for some Beacon Hill charmBest wishes to Becky and Jay as they plan their destination wedding…which coincidentally was exactly one year from the date we did this shoot! Huge congrats – love you both!

Sometimes life has a funny way of working itself out.  When I saved up my pennies over two years ago to buy my first DSLR  I never knew how that little camera would shape my life.  Thanks in big part to my trusty Nikon I now have a masters degree, the memories from a trip to a far-away land, and my own little business.

When my favorite trio of WFNX DJs had their morning show axed, many people were very upset.  Charlie Padgett of The Sandbox suddenly and unceremoniously found himself without a job. With more time on his hands he started shooting assignments for STUFF Magazine and now he’s started to dabble wedding photography.   Getting fired sucks, but Charlie just might have a new career on his hands.  So, when he asked me to second shoot I jumped at the chance.  I love assisting at weddings because with less responsibility I can just shoot, shoot, and shoot while focusing on my creativity.  If you have a minute, roll on over to Little Monkeys Photo and show Charlie some love.  In the meantime, please enjoy a few shots from Monica & Brian’s day of love!

Monica runs a bridal boutique and was lucky enough to have her pick of wedding gowns.  As you can imagine, she looked gorgeous.

The blue sky belies how chilly it was – Monica was a trooper!

Speaking of chilly, it couldn’t have been more than 40 degrees on the beach, but again, Monica and Brian didn’t complain a bit

And onto the fabulous reception – a toast to the bride and groom to kick things off

The band was an absolute blast and they kept Monica, Brian and their guests dancing all night.

And that’s it…I’m spent!

Best wishes to Mr. and Mrs. Desmarais!

I think I have found the perfect location for engagement sessions.  The deCordova Sculpture Park in Lincoln, MA is just packed with quirky photo opportunities.

When huge life-sized pieces of art, rolling hills, and tall trees are combined with early-spring light and a warm & fun couple the result just had to great.

I had a wonderful afternoon with Liz, Chris, and their adorable puppy Myla and I can’t wait for their wedding in August!

Like many artists, I am always looking for inspiration.  Music has always been a big part of my life and frequently plays a large part in the creation of my photos.  The hauntingly beautiful work of the Icelandic band Sigur Rós ranks at the top of my all-time favorite music.  Jónsi, the front man of Sigur Rós, is releasing a solo album in April.  The song Go Do, below, was the inspiration for this shoot.

Thank you for experiencing this song with me.

As Jonsi sings:

You will survive, will never stop wonders

You and sunrise will never fall under

We should always know that we can do anything

Go do!

In recognition of the historic passage of health care reform tonight, a shot I took while covering Senator Kennedy’s funeral for WBUR.

The most important and meaningful thing that we can do in our time on this earth is to simply take care of each other.

Be well.

I recently returned from a great weekend visiting family in Pittsburgh.  My family means so much to me and I’m so thankful that I was able to spend time getting to know my youngest cousins.  Maeve, almost 5, and Gage, almost 2, are smart and funny little ones, and I had a blast chasing after them with my camera.  I’m looking forward to shooting more children this spring – there is so much wonder in the face of a child and it’s a pleasure to try and capture it.

The focus is a wee bit off in this portrait of Gage, but I like the resulting soft focus.  It’s hard to get it just right when trying to wrangle with 2-year-old energy!

Speaking of energy, look at Maeve go!

Hello cute one!

If you’re interested in booking a play date/photoshoot for your family, please contact me at korri@korrileighcrowley.com
oh, and Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Kerri & Mike’s reception was held at The Lyceum in Salem and the exposed brick, warm tones, and old wood of the venue fit perfectly with the wintery mood of the wedding.  The most exciting part for Kate and I was the small balcony that overlooked the dance floor and afforded us an unbelievable spot for shooting the action below.  I’m seriously considering bringing a 10 foot ladder to all my weddings to ensure I get shots like these again!

First a few details…

…and now, onto the dancing!!  Since I wasn’t the primary shooter of this wedding I had the freedom to experiment and get more creative.  I loved playing with exposure and capturing the movement of the dancers.  This is absolutely a style I will try again.

Kerri & Mike’s friends and family made for a super fun crowd – they know how to get down. Literally!

and how much fun is some spontaneous breakdancing?

Things did slow down for a sweet Daddy-Daughter dance

…and finally,  my absolute favorite shot of the entire wedding.  I just love the look of pure joy on Kerri’s face as she receives a kiss from her new husband.  They stand still and strong in their love as the world flutters around them.  Getting shots like this makes all the hard work worth it.

All-in-all, a wonderful wedding and couple.  Bring on the spring and the nice weather – I can’t wait for more shooting!!

I had a blast second shooting with the talented and fun Kate of Crabapple Photography.  Our job is always made easier when the couple is as nice as Kerri and Mike. The whole day was beautiful and a great start to my 2010 wedding season.

The First Baptist Church in Stoneham was beautiful, but what made it magical was the bright sun streaming in through the stained glass windows. As photographers we really couldn’t have asked for a better day or better light.

The bright blues and reds of the bridal party were perfect for a winter wedding and the gentlemen of course looked quite dapper as well

Congratulations to the new Mr. & Mrs. Wilkes!

After the ceremony we were able to steal away for some quick alone time with the bride and groom.

I just love love love the big smile on Mike’s face as he looks at his bride

We didn’t even ask Kerri to jump, she had the idea herself!

More photos to follow soon of the super-fun reception and the break dancing guests!
