Do you love my work?  Would you like to have a complimentary family photo session and earn print credits just by sharing your images with friends and family?

Katie Smith Photography is looking for three outgoing, fun families in the Killeen/Temple area to become a part of the family spokesmodel program.  Family spokesmodels will be given a complimentary full length session, 50 rep cards, 10 watermarked websize files for Facebook, and a Facebook timeline cover.  After five referrals, family spokesmodels will receive a $400 print credit.  Each additional referral will receive an additional $25 print credit with no limit to the amount of print credits they can earn.  Next May, the family spokesmodel with the most referrals will win a family fun day gift pack worth $250!

To apply, families must be within 30 miles of Fort Hood, have at least one child under 5 years old, and be active in their community.  Ready to apply?  Read over the family spokesmodel information packet then fill out the form below.  Selected applicants will be interviewed at the end of June and the three chosen families will be announced on July 1st!


After stalking the weather channel all week, I was estatic to see blue skies the morning of this session.  We met at a location near my home.  It’s always fun to find those locations that aren’t much to look at from the road but once you really get in there and see it through the lens, it become magical.

 Meet the E family.  Mama E is a photographer and I’m not sure if it’s that or just having two daughters that makes her an expert at picking out cute clothing for a portrait session.  This is my usual advice for the “What to wear?” question: one child in pattern and the rest of the family in solids that coordinate with the pattern.  I didn’t even have to tell her that.  She came prepared with adorable cardigan sweaters and cute little hair accessories to take the outfits up a notch.

I was told the E girls are girly girls and they definitely didn’t disappoint.  They don’t like ants or wet grass on their feet.  They love cuddling and wearing their mom’s jewelry.  They like holding hands and just being adorable in general.

Thanks E family for meeting me and letting me take your family portraits.  It was great getting to meet you.  I hope the pictures hold a special place in your heart and on your wall.

Shoot & Mingle

March 18, 2012

Ready to see something different from anything I’ve ever posted before?

This past Thursday I went to the first ever “Shoot & Mingle.”  A really awesome experience for an introvert like me.  I was surrounded by 20-something of my peers at an awesome location with three beautiful models.  I shot some, I talked some, and for a lot of it I just drooled and dreamed of all the things I could do at a photographer’s paradise like this.

Photos by Katie Smith Photography at Shoot & Mingle hosted and styled by Cindy McFarland Photographer and A Photo by Ashley.

The awesome vendors:
Location- White’s Service and Salvage
Florist- Amy Lynne Originals
Hair Stylist- Tiffany Black at Hair Studio
Makeup- Wendy Bowman, Bobbi Brown business manager and artist
Hair accessory- Georgia Couture
Cake- Artist’s Way Creations
Videographer- Katelyn Brower

What do you think?  Should I branch out to something more high fashion and posing or stick with the loveable lifestyle sessions that I know and love?
