Becky and Jason

Becky and Jason were married on Sunday in Glenview and I was lucky enough to be their photographer. Becky is very talented at picking out the perfect details for any occasion and she has decided to do this full time. What better way to start than your own wedding! She did an amazing job picking out all the details to complete her vision for her wedding. The day was filled with anticipation and emotion and she even got the little bit of snow she wanted! Thank you so much for having us and being the first wedding post on the new blog ;)

Reception venue: Bristol Court Banquets
The super fun DJ: Greg from Admit One

Happy New Year and a fresh start!

I thought it would be a great way to kick off 2008 by announcing the new vision of Kristina Carter Photography. This includes a new name, new look, but the same amazing imagery.

I wanted to tie in my experience as a biologist and environmental educator with my photography. I know it seems crazy, weddings and the environment, but the more I thought about it, the more I thought it wasn't that crazy after all. With the help and support of some amazing friends, I worked out a way to share a little of what I know about the environment with the network of people that I have been fortunate enough to work with and meet in the last few years.

It doesn't stop there though, we are giving back more to the community as well. We want to promote a spirit of giving by donating 10% of what you spend on photography back in the lives of people and causes who desperately need it.

I hope that your new year is also filled with many new adventures and success. Please join us in kicking off our new brand by telling us what you think.

All the best,
Kristina
