Johnson photo session - WWII veteran, special project

I was so excited to finally get to do this session. I drove to San Antonio for the weekend with my friend Susan to photograph her dad who was a pilot in World War II. He has some amazing stories! I had the chance to walk around their home and find some photographs to use in the session. Mr. Johnson has a beautiful drawing of a B-17, just like the ones he flew during the war. I also found a charming photograph of him when he was very young and he has the best smile in the moment the shot was captured. And as a bonus, I also had the opportunity to see their wedding album! It was an amazing sight to behold and of course, I was very interested in seeing it.

I'm strongly considering taking on a project of photographing World War II vets because of the respect I have for their service to our country and the piece of history that they carry. If you know anyone that might be interested, please email me so that I can consider doing a session as part of this project. Ask me about more details! dianna@karellephotography.com

365 - Week 15

I'm back on schedule! I've got so much to work on right now so I apoligize if it's taking a little bit longer for you to see your images.


I looked out the window on Monday morning and WOW!! And yes, I was up pretty early that day.


Why do things always have to be in focus? If I had focused this image properly, then it would be boring. Hmmmm, I think maybe this image could be used for those inkblot tests. What do you see??


I had a session with the Rappold family. Cute little girl!


I like playing with the sun in the background. Don't stare, you'll burn your retinas.


What is it?


I drove down to San Antonio this past weekend to begin a personal project. My friend Susan's father is a World War II veteran and he was a pilot in the Air Corps. He has so many stories to tell and I wanted to honor him with a photo session.



Again, why be in focus? This is so much more fun.



I outdid myself. I've added a bonus for this week. A few weeks ago, I shot a bridal session and the location has peacocks. And peahens. I had never heard of peahens. I learned something new. Several of the peacocks opened up their feathers and paraded around for us. It was beautiful!








Leave me comments!!!!! I'd love to hear from you.
