Spring has Sprung | Portland Custom Photographer

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010

It is warm and gorgeous outside. I even got a little hot when I was playing with my kids out front. I can’t remember the last time I actually felt hot from the sun. I feel like a big grizzly bear coming out of hibernation.

I am so excited for Tulip Festival! It starts tomorrow. I’ve been going every year since I moved up here. I took the shots below last year with a macro lens that I rented. I’ve never fallen in love so fast. It was love at first focus. I adored that macro lens not only for the close up shots, but for portraits as well. Some of my favorite photos of my kids were taken when I rented that lens for a weekend. Needless to say I immediately bought one for myself and I use it for almost all my portrait sessions. It’s tack sharp… and I love it.

Happy Spring!

First Day of Spring – CONTEST!!! | Portland Custom Photographer

Saturday, March 20th, 2010

This is officially the first week of Spring. Around this time of year, Oregonians feel like they’re starting to come out of hibernation after a long winter of cold, dark, wet and dreary days. I am loving the longer days, warmer temperatures and colorful flowers blooming all around. It makes me want to be outside taking non-stop photos. SPRING is the theme for this contest.

Here’s how it’ll work:
1. Send me a photo that just screams spring. It can be of yourself, your kids, a flower, whatever, but you must be the person who took the photo. You have until Sunday, April 4th to send it in. Email it to krissy@krissyallori.com. Only one photo per family please.
2. On Monday, April 5th, I will upload all of the photos to an album on my Facebook Fan Page.
3. Fans will then be able to vote for their favorite photo. In order to vote, the word VOTE must appear as a comment under the picture (don’t worry – you won’t get a million emails every time someone votes… an email notification will only be sent out if I leave a comment under that picture). Voting will be open for two weeks and will close at midnight on Monday, April 19th.

The Prizes
1st Place: $500 credit
2nd Place: $250 credit
3rd Place: $100 credit

Terms & Conditions:
1. Only one vote per person. Any duplicate votes will be deleted.
2. Prizes must be redeemed no later than June 30,2010. The credit will not apply to any sessions that take place after June 30. The session must take place in the surrounding areas of Portland, Oregon. Credit to be used only towards the purchase of one of three Collections offered by Krissy (see my website for Collection details and pricing). If entire credit is not used, the balance may not be carried over to additional sessions.
3. To qualify, a signed model release will be required prior to the session.

Let the fun begin!

I want to use these new hats so badly that if you know someone who is expecting, refer them to me, and if they book a newborn session with me within the next week, I will give you 50% off your own custom photography session and collection!

This could be yours | Portland Custom Photographer

Sunday, January 31st, 2010

If you’ve ever inquired about my sessions, you’ll know that I keep things simple and only offer three collections – all with full resolution digital images as well as 5×7 prints. My top two collections, however, feature this fabulous image box. Its large enough to hold 100 5×7 prints so that you may add to it over time. I custom design the cover to show your favorite photos from your session. I even send an optional clear CD hub that you may adhere to the inside cover should you want to keep your session disk with your image box.

Full Moon | Portland Photographer

Sunday, October 4th, 2009

This was my first attempt at getting a shot of the moon. I actually used my 105mm macro lens. I thought for sure I would have needed a 300mm zoom, but I think it turned out pretty cool!
