  • your events

    As a graduate of the School of Journalism at KSU, I understand that the Visual Verb is what knocks photography out of the ballpark.

    Being grounded in the photo-journalistic approach, my goal is to capture that verb in your session - to show the laughing, the tumbling, the cheering, the genuine moments of action and interaction, and the connection between people (even if it is just the two of us) that transpires in a fraction of a second.

    These are the images that speak to us and capture the essence of the moments we would like to preserve.

  • your session

    Are you leery of the camera or a natural ham? In either case, you'll find the processes used to capture your unique vision - the one you'll want to share on Facebook (as well as hang on the wall and compile in a photo book) - captivating and enjoyable.

    When you choose the right photographer, time will fly and the experience will undoubtedly feel like play time with a new friend. Before you know it, you'll be looking forward to viewing your personal online or smartphone gallery.

  • your scheduling

    While weddings and other major events are usually booked at least six months to a year in advance, senior photos, holiday shots, family sessions, tot sessions, engagements, sports/community events and other bookings can usually be slotted in fairly quickly.

    To book or inquire about a session, text wedding | portrait | or other event to 330-689-8241. Or email kami@klm-photographics.com

Metal-eating MEGASAURUS at Maize Valley Winery: Part 2

Metal-eating MEGASAURUS at Maize Valley Winery: Part 2

Yesterday marked the first of two visits the SPECTACULAR Megasaurus is making at Maize Valley Winery this year, and even at my age, I was a bit awe-struck at the might of this fire-breathing, metal-eating monster (and at three stories tall, why wouldn’t I be?!).

Pre-show, you grown-ups might enjoy the chance to speak with Mega’s inventor, who happened to be manning a booth at Saturday’s show. (I jokingly asked him, “So, how did you get into this? Just come home from work one day and say, ‘Hey, honey. I’ve decided to quit my job and build a giant, fire-breathing dinosaur?!’) While you’ll have your own questions, according to Mega’s inventor, the dinosaur globe trots and has even made a Hollywood appearance or two. (How’s that for following your dreams?)

The mighty ‘Saurus made his debut just around twilight, where he began warming up by growling about the backwoods and throwing a few fireballs. At that point, those who were still busy playing around the farm took note and joined the enormous group of people gathered where woods meets field at the back of the property.

Frankly, to say that Megasaurus completely enraptured the audience would be an understatement. Even I barely took time to turn around and grab a few audience shots because, well, I couldn’t take my eyes off that thing as he picked up two cars filled with pumpkins and made a light snack out them. Metal-metal-munch-crunch! (Truth be told, this overgrown sissy was even slightly afraid to look away…just  in case Mega might decide to head our direction, I didn’t want to turn around to find him hovering over me!)

I’ve decided not to share too many of the images from this particular experience because it is truly something you must see for yourself (and I wouldn’t want to spoil it for you) but here are a few teaser images for those who’ve been thinking about taking the kids out for Mega’s second appearance at Maize on October 29.
