What to Wear: Client Request
March 19, 2010After I posted the last What to Wear ensemble, I received a request from a client to put together a grouping for her:
These are amazing!! I hate the same old white shirts and jeans or khakis so thank you for pulling these together. Could you do one with navy blue and pink with an outfit for a one year old girl included?
Here you go, Christi. I had a lot of fun with this one. 
If you have a special request, please email me at karenleslie@mac.com. Just tell me what colors you want me to work with and the type of session (e.g., kids session, ages 3 & 7 or family session: mom, dad, girl age 12 and boy age 5.)
Enjoy! xoxo,
Karen
Baby Makes Five :: Orlando Newborn Photography
March 18, 2010If you remember this maternity session from a couple months back:
Well, baby made her debut … and is absolutely adorable. Not to mention, loved by the entire family!
Enjoy! xoxo,

Oh My Dog :: Orlando Dog Photographer
March 14, 2010I can’t believe I haven’t posted a preview from this session yet. These four furry friends all live together and their owner decided it was time to get some pictures. I had so much fun with these cuties — all so well behaved and patient with me and my camera. I loved all their different personalities.
This dog session was done in the client’s home. If you are interested in a dog session, it can be done at your home, or at one of many of Orlando’s beautiful parks (dog friendly ones, of course.) In fact, my monthly mini sessions are perfect for a short but very impactful session with your favorite four-legged friend.
Enjoy! xoxo,

March Mini Session
March 12, 2010
The March mini session event takes place this Sunday, March 14 at Dickson Azalea Gardens in downtown Orlando. The rains WILL stop and this weekend is supposed to be gorgeous. The azaleas are in bloom in the gardens, so this month is a perfect month for a photo session.
What exactly is a mini session? Here’s how it works:
- On one day every month I will offer mini sessions. I will publish the date in advance on this blog.
- The mini sessions will be held at a pre-determined location.
- Each mini session will last 20-30 minutes and you will sign up for a time in advance.
- Mini sessions are prices WITH product — as a package deal. There are no substitutions on the product included. (See below.)
- Mini sessions are perfect for kid sessions, family sessions (4 people/pets or fewer), dog sessions, maternity sessions. Mini sessions are not available for newborn sessions or extended family sessions (more than 4 people/pets).
What do mini sessions cost? And what is included in the package?
Mini sessions are $395 and include: 4 – 5×7″ prints, 2 – 8×10″ prints, 1 – 11×14″ print , and all your proofs in 4×6″ bordered prints or 1 high resolution digital file. Additional products can be purchased at VIP prices.
Mini sessions are ideal for:
- For anytime in the first year when you want to capture a milestone like sitting up, clapping, standing, walking, etc.
- When you want a great photo for her first birthday invitation
- When he loses his first tooth and looks adorable
- A dog session
- An engagement session
- A maternity session
- A quick family photo
- A couples-in-love session
So, you might be asking what is the difference between a Full Session and a Mini Session? Well, I put together a handy charge that outlines the differences.
Please let me know if you have any questions – 407.340.8088 or karenleslie@mac.com
Thanks! xoxo,

What to Wear: Modern & Stylish Family Session
March 11, 2010The newest edition to KarenLeslie Photography’s What to Wear series is a Modern & Stylish Family Session. I love pairing browns and blues and in this case I added a small touch of green (olive green to be exact). Notice that there are patterns involved in this grouping, but none of them overwhelms the other. And, there’s enough solids to even out the few patterns that are there.
There are a couple of things to consider when coordinating outfits for a photo session:
- You don’t have to fall back on the easy combinations of black, white or khaki — don’t be afraid to think outside of the box
- Choose something that matches the personality of the people being photographed: modern & funky, colorful and fun, conservative and classic.
- Don’t be afraid of color or pattern; however, don’t overdo it. Choose one outfit that is full of color and pattern and have the other outfits coordinate with it, but not overpower it.
- Don’t think that neutrals are only black, white and khaki. Green, blue, brown can also be neutrals.
- Don’t forget to coordinate your shoes! Yes, your feet will be in the photograph.
- Going “shopping” in your own closet often reveals some real treasures.
Is there a particular color combination you’d like to see? Email me at karenleslie@mac.com and I’ll put something together for you!
Enjoy! xoxo,
Karen
