Helping a Family Receive The Best Gift Ever
There are so many parts of my job that are beyond rewarding for me. This past Saturday, I got to spend some time with a couple who is trying to adopt a baby. The last step of their application process was to get some photos of themselves and their home. I was thrilled to be contacted for such a cause. It was so nice meeting M&J and I wish them nothing, but the best on their adoption journey!

The H Family; Wakefield, MA
It was such a pleasure photographing the H family. It doesn't hurt when upon arrival, I am showered with compliments about my work *blush*. No one can say it doesn't feel good to feel appreciated.
Little L picked photo day to skip his afternoon nap so we tried to get things done quickly, move around a little and just give in and let him have that stick he wanted so badly. Poor thing was also just getting over a cold and it WAS cold (outside) too. The odds were stacked against us, but we got some beautiful photographs. I am very pleased.

Christmas Giveaway 2011
One of my business goals for 2012 is to align myself with a local charity. I have always considered myself as somewhat of a charitable person. I believe strongly in random acts of kindness as well as paying it forward. I do these things whenever I get the chance and I truly do believe that belief in those small (or large) things has helped propel my business in the positive direction it has gone in and I couldn't be more thankful. You reap what you sew, right? Well, I think so.
It's no secret that Christmas is one of my favorite times of year. The season of giving. Jesus is a personal hero of mine and I believe if we were all even a BIT more like him, this world would be a far better place.
Since my business is still in it's growing stage (a mere 2 years, 2 months old) I don't have a ton to give, but I do want to give SOMETHING. Something small to me might be something HUGE to someone else. It's all about perception and relevance. With that said, I'd like you to think about someone in your life that you think needs a little extra help this Christmas. Maybe it's your sister and she can't afford to get her children more than a couple of small toys this Christmas, or maybe it's your great Aunt who is having trouble paying for her heating bill. Who do you know that could use an extra $100? As I said, I know it's not much, but I promise you, as you all continue to help my business grow, my generosity will also grow and I will be able to give more back.
When you choose to use KBP for your family photos/ wedding photos (etc). you can be assured that you are choosing a photographer who not only goes above and beyond for you personally, but who also works behind the scenes going beyond for those less fortunate.
My Father-in-law, who has helped out my family more than once has a simple motto: "you do what you can." I liked it so much, I adopted it as my own motto.
So, just email me (kara@karabakerphotography.com) about someone (other than yourself) who you think could use a little help this Christmas Season. Picking a 'winner' is going to be the hardest thing ever-- I'll probably end up using a random number generator because how can *I* choose who is more deserving than someone else? I will accept emails/entries through Sunday and will announce the 'winner' on Monday, December 12th and a check will be mailed out post haste.
All I ask in return is to keep spreading my name and my brand. Refer me to your friends and family. I have been so blessed thus far with referrals and positive feedback from all of my clients. Facebook is a great way to do that. Feel free to spread this on Facebook, post on walls of those you know who might benefit.
I love you all and I hope to help make a difference in someone's Christmas this year. Thank you for helping me helping someone else this Christmas!
Wishing Everyone A Healthy & Happy Holiday Season Filled with Peace,
Kara Baker

Baby E {Kara Baker, Newborn Photographer, Boston, MA}
Baby E was a dream! Not only was she adorable, but she was just what we needed her to be; ultra sleepy! I think this session made up my mind; I'm not sure exactly how I am going to do it, but I think I will have to charge a bit more for babies over 2 weeks old; it's almost double the work. Baby E was a bitty 7 days old and she cooperated so well for us; what more could we ask of a week old baby?
