Three for three!!!

Yes... I know you've seen this image before... but I'm so excited to let you know Taylor has won Miss Photogenic with this image in her last 3 pageants. First she won the title of Miss Teen Ware Shoals and Miss Photogenic. Next she competed as Miss Teen South Carolina American Queen at the national pageant in Daytona: here she was first runner up and won Miss Photogenic. Thirdly, she competed in Lexington County for the title of Miss Funfest and was second runner up, received a $250 scholarship and won Miss Photogenic.... AGAIN!!! Congratulations Taylor!!! I'm so excited for you!

The uniforms are in....

and boy are these two excited!!!

Facebook!

I've joined and I'm trying to figure it all out! Click here Karen's Facebook to be my friend!

My Kids!

Finally I shoot my kids! One loves the camera - it's rather easy to guess who!

Amazing Siblings!

Yes.... I swear! I know how my two can act when they're together, however Miss. Julia and IV were incredible to work with. So pleasant and willing to try most anything I asked. We strolled through their backyard (which is a photographers dream btw) shooting at various locations for one phenomenal session. Just take a look at these shots...WOW!

A little over half way....

with the most exciting months to come (that's a nice way of putting it, don't you think?) Yes, you can tell she's a little prego in this picture, but we really had to work on getting that belly out! They always say you're beautiful when your pregnant, and she's no exception!

Model Material!

As gorgeous as ever we quickly snapped a few for Millie Lewis Modeling Agency in Greenville, SC. Wow, are they going to be blown away. Beauty, brains, personality... A. has it all!

Sweet 16!

I photographed her last summer, but what a difference a year makes! The smile, the attitude and what about the JUMP!!! The images from this session are out of this world... Mom, I have NO idea how you are EVER going to choose!!!

Miss Teen South Carolina American Queen

Oh yes... we were shooting her head shots for the upcoming national pageant... and yes, she is this gorgeous in person too! With twists, turns, and even jumps the shots were awesome! Here's two.

Can you believe she wanted to know....

if I got any good ones???? Hello..... she's gorgeous!! Of course we laughed - especially at the studio tactics I use. Flip, shake, flip, shake, flip, shake, now really fast... a radical flip!! Thanks B. and mom for a very fun morning!

It's so hard to believe....

that just 9 months ago I was photographing him as a newborn!!! Now he's pulling up on everything, seeing what he can get into and has the most adorable smile! As soon as I walked into his home, I knew something was up... the beautiful coffee table decor was missing from my last trip, LOL! That's a sure sign of a curious toddler.

Delightful, Delicate and Dainty.

Little Miss E. was ever so pleased to show me her bicycle, trampoline, scooter and other toys, but she was CRAZY WILD about showing me how she could flip backwards on her swing! WOW!! She's so tiny yet so amazing!

Fun times 2!

Ok.... so at first everything seems a little awkward - new surroundings, being in front of a camera, strange photographer lady - but all she needed was her best pal and WOW! Meet Georgia! She's my newest Senior Model from Emerald High School and what an awesome girl! We moved fast, changing clothes in the car, shooting at a junk yard and then in a daisy field - it was soooo much fun! Georgia... you're welcome anytime, I love you, you're KNOCKOUT GORGEOUS, and I'm sure you'll never forget my address (wink, wink, laughing as I write this)!!!

Loves his tools!

Little J. loves his weed eater and blower, but on this particular day took a special liking to chopping his mother's monkey grass with his chainsaw! I chased him through the backyard, into the front yard and all around on his plasma car to get the most incredible pictures! Get ready mom!

Senior Model Jessica

WoW! We had so much fun at this shoot! Needless to say it was filled with excitement as my assistants (my two children) assisted every way possible! Jessica is my Senior Rep for Ninety Six High and will promote Karen Holubek Photography. As a model, she'll have rep cards with incredible discounts and freebies to offer her friends. Along with her rep cards she'll receive an awesome 12 page book designed specifically for her. If you are interested in becoming a rep, I'm searching for two rising seniors from Greenwood High School. Please email me for details. It's soooo much fun!

High Fashion

Here are a few shots from a recent high fashion workshop I attended. Get ready seniors because I'm so excited about these new techniques!! Are these models stunning or what?

Carvina

Sadly she passed away during birth May 2, 2008, however she has touched many lives and will continue to do so. Her parents have blessed me with their courage and strength. I was contacted in March by her mother, Christina, through the Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep Organization. This incredible charity pairs Professional Photographers with parents who experience early infant loss and allows them to hold on to their memories forever.

Just one hour later

he was at the prom with this gorgeous brunette!!

Here you go mom...

Ok, I know I shouldn't call him beautiful, gorgeous, and stunning, after all he is a full blown boy and those words aren't very appealing... but what else can you say?????

Two of my favorite little girls.

I'm posting this one quickly, but I'll be back with more!
