Rylo | Enviro Session

I do not have children, but this is my baby, Rylo! After having him groomed at the wonderful Paw Wash here in Cedar Rapids I just had to take some photos and show off what a wonderful job they did! I'm old news so he refuses to look toward a camera and I was too lazy to go get some treats.

Curious George | Birthday

 Happy Birthday Austin and Hayley!! Mom, Amanda, did a wonderful job on this very fun and colorful themed child's birthday party. Very gender neutral so it works as a co-ed party!

Couldn't have asked for a nicer day, kids playing inside and out. But before they got dirty they had their photo taken in the photo booth!! What a blast!

Home Based Business | Photography Style

Home based vs. Studio front

Running a business out of your home is not the easiest thing in the world. If we are being honest, when I drive by local portrait studios I'm jealous! Jealous that my clients aren't able to walk into my beautifully decorated studio to make an appointment or to have their pictures taken. I would kill to have that! But then I sit back and think about all the benefits I give my clients by working from home:


Instead of always coming to us, we come to you:

• To take your pictures.

We set everything up while you continue getting ready in the comfort of your own home. If your child spill juice down their shirt. No problem, you're at home! Dad needs to leave early. No problem, you're at home. No more forgetting an outfit change, running late, and stressing out. We make it a fun experience for the whole family and by doing so you're pictures always turn out great!

• View your portrait session.

Gather in your living room as we come back after your session to show you all your images. We even help you decide what size prints will work best in your home space, build collages, etc. It helps to make these decisions at home so you can visualize the end result.

• Delivering your order.

Instead of working around our hours and schedule we deliver your prints and products to your home or place of work. We hope this helps give you one less errand to run and more time to spend with your loved ones.

We aim to make life easier for our clients by coming to them. No, you cannot walk into our store but we are working just as hard, if not harder, to serve you. It is our goal to provide our clients with great service and personal attention all while having an outstanding customer experience. 

If you have any questions about our process or are interested in experiencing a true full service studio email me, Kara, at kara@kvphotoonline.com.

Here is a shot from our most recent home session. We were able to do little Will's newborn and 3 month shoot in his living room!
That location provided great natural light for us and a big screen TV to help entertain Dad!
