I’m always wondering how clients end up displaying their session portraits in their homes, so I’m starting a new series on the blog called “Client Inspiration”.  I want to be inspired by YOU, my clients (and maybe give some inspiration to each other)!

Clients- If you would like to be part of this blog series, send me an email at blog@sarahshahportraits.com.

First up is the “K” home.  I love how Ashley decorates and I wish she would come help me with my house.

Their Fall 2009 session can be viewed HERE and HERE

For this session we chose a park in Wichita that Kevin had grown up hanging out at all the time.  He’s the one that introduced me to this park late last year – I love it because there are mature trees and it’s never full of people.

Meet Kevin & April.  I love this image of them.

They brought along their dog, Jake.  Jake is awesome & well trained.  He sat off to the side during parts of the session and didn’t run away or wander just sat there watching us and waiting for his turn.  He truly smiled at the camera.

This one is another favorite.

Enjoy your sneak peek!
