EXAMPLE ONE
Just as every family is unique, each KPO Photo Family Story is different. Let me walk you through some examples of recent Family Stories so you can understand how they work. My first example is a FAMILY STORY about a newborn. So much happens in the first year of a child’s life! Often I visit three times in the first year. Barbara and Chris scheduled their first family story for a week after their due date. Henry was born basically on time. Barbara knew that her parents would be visiting from New Jersey that week and really wanted them to be a part of it. Our goal was to record this amazing time in their life and hopefully come up with some images she would use for Henry’s birth announcement. Barbara is a professional graphic designer so she wanted to purchase the FAMILY ARCHIVE so she could use the images as she pleased. Here is what we came up with:

I swear Henry was winking at me! So handsome!

I love the juxtaposition of all their faces. This image really sums up what a happy time this is for them.

Barbara’s parents are obviously in love!

There he is, folks, in all of his glory!

Barbara brought Henry in to the studio when he was almost six months old. It is so amazing what difference half a year can make!





Then at the end of the year, just as his first birthday approached, the whole family came back to KPO Photo to get a great image for their holiday card. Doesn’t he look so much like his dad, Chris, here?

EXAMPLE TWO
Second is the example of Sandy Lange, whom I met after she purchased a Family Story at Cocktails for Cancer. She is a mother of two grown sons, both of whom have families of their own. Prior to her shoot, she came into the office so we could discuss what she wanted. Her goal was to get the whole family together for a great portrait in a beautiful setting. So, we made a plan to meet on a Saturday morning at Duke Gardens when the azaleas would be in full bloom. Here is what we came up with (just click to play):

Sandy came in a week or so later and we went through all the images on the projection screen in the downtown Carrboro office. After talking about the various options she decided a wall collage would serve her needs best. As each of her sons has one child and their families are sure to grow, we wanted to create something that could change over the years and still look great. Here is the design we came up with. The framed prints could easily be switched out with new photos of new family members as time goes on. She also purchased the Family Archive as it was 1/2 off when you buy a wall collage. This enables her to use these images for Facebook, prints, cards, etc. I include a slideshow for DVD players as part of the Archive. Folks love this!

Because we use a projection system, Sandy was able to see what her new pieces would look like, to scale, in her home before she purchased them. Below are photos of the project. We ended up transforming her previously bland entrance hall into a space that really showcases the loves of her life- her gorgeous family. We decided to put the big piece above the fireplace to tie the hallway and the living room together. She had this to say about the project, “Thanks Kristin – everyday I walk down this hall I love what you’ve done!”

EXAMPLE THREE
Another example of a Family Story is the dedication of Caroline. Her mother, Paige, had organized a Christian dedication at Caroline’s grandparents home. A large portion of the extended family were going to be in attendance so it was a perfect time for a Family Story! I created a Family Story Slideshow of the event. Below are some of my absolute favorites.
