More Kid Pictures

I updated the kid section of the website with Christopher. I photographed Christopher and his family, once a month for over a year. It was interesting and amazing to watch them, month after month. ... there are still more kid picks to come. (promise!)

Counting Crows Concert

Kurtis and I, with our friends Tom and Emily, went to the Counting Crows concert at Darian Lakes last month. It was, of course, amazing. If Kurtis and I were independently wealthy and could do what ever we wanted, one thing we would do would be to follow the Counting Crows on one of their tours. We love the music and try to see them every chance we get. Kurtis didn't think I could take my little camera in with me so I left it in the car...... everyone around me had their little camera's ...... except me.  : - (   I was dying to take a few pictures so out of desperation, and to get rid of the photo craving, I took a few shots with my cell phone camera. I have never used the camera on my phone before and truthfully didn't know how to use it. I was pleasantly surprised.  It took me a while (a month) to figure out how to get them off the phone. yeish.... sometimes technology and I don't get along. 

Here are a few shots of the Counting Crows. enjoy.

Babies, Babies, Babies

Babies, Babies, Babies, everyone we know is having babies..... and they are all so cute! Many of our couples from last year and this year are having babies and I have been honored to photograph some of them. We photographed Lilly's parent's wedding last year so when they had Lilly this summer they wanted to get some photographs of her before she was over 1 month old. They had hired a baby photographer but the schedule didn't work out and the photographer had to cancel twice. Lilly's mom called me on a Saturday morning, explained what was going on and wanted to know if we took baby/kid pictures and if I would like to photograph Lilly. 

I was so excited and honored. I have been photographing babies, kids and children for sometime now but haven't really let anyone know about it. I guess it was just my personal project and not something I would consider work. (I still don't consider it work!) So I have decided to update the Kid section of our website and let it be known that yes, Kracke Photography does photography babies, kids, children, parents and children etc.....  I not done with the updates to the kid section but will be soon, (I promise) but I wanted to get the picks of Lilly out there so everyone can see how cute she is!

Sandy and Jessica were married in a beautiful ceremony at Temple Beth El in Rochester, New York. 

The girls got ready at Woodcliff Hotel & Spa. Jessica had her sister, good friends and mom with her. 

Jessica's bouquet was delicate colors of white with both of her Grandmothers rings attached. 

 

Here are some of our favorite picks of Sandy and Jessica. 

The reception was at Casa Larga and was wonderful!

Congratulations Sandy and Jessica!!!

Great use of Kracke Photography Wedding Picks

Dean and Andrea were married a few years ago on New Years Eve. We took pictures of Andrea in her wedding gown a month or so before the wedding. We had this pair of goofy coke bottle glasses hanging around the studio and she put them on. It was a great look with the gown and flowers. I put the glasses in my camera case and forgot about them. At their wedding reception I found them and walked around the dance floor handing them to people and taking their picture. The were a riot! I was at Dean and Andrea's the other day taking pictures of their new baby (... those images will be coming soon...) she showed me what they had done with the picks of the glasses. It is the best use of party picks that we have seen in a long time!! - Enjoy
