The Frank family welcomed their second child, a beautiful girl, who we had the privilege to photograph. We hope you like it!
Thank you, Frank family!

She turned out to be more than just a girl. She is full of surprises, see for yourself!

Marketa

Marketa and I (and other friends) came to USA at the same time, five years ago. Marketa visited me during Christmas and what a beautiful surprise! She didn’t change a bit! She is just as awesome as she was 5 years ago!!

Her name sounds so noble, doesn’t it?

So I met this girl almost a year ago over the internet. No, I was not looking for a love story (I got one, that’s enough!), but for a friendship. And I got much more out of it. I got her. We have become very good friends immediately and I believe it will be for the rest of our lives.

Renata

Renata needed a couple of shots before we started the shoot I was worried she might have crossed eyes in every picture, but I got fantastic relaxed mood in them instead! Loving it!

Chicago trip

The trip to Chicago for a bunch of photo shoots was literally crazy! Thank God for Sarka, who helped as much as she could. The rest was on me and believe me, two days and seven shoots left my left wrist in a big pain. I think I will never do this again! )
On the other hand – it was worth it.

Thank you, Sarka!

Chicago, Chicago, my dear windy city, HERE I COME!!!

Best friend of mine Sarka (Sara) gave me an opportunity to visit her in the beginning of December (12/5 – 12/6).
She has figured that I could present my talent for photography over there too. Isn’t she great?
I believe that is a fantastic idea and we have put together a little package for everyone who will want me to take pictures of them.

My client will be spending approximately an hour with me indoors or outdoors (if both options wanted, two hours of work will be charged, please understand moving to places takes some time too).

I will work on editing (post production) as soon as possible and mail a CD with approx 50-70 edited images in color and in black & white to my client.

I will upload a password protected online gallery free of charge, so my client, his/hers friends and family can view the pictures.

Part of my special package is also free 8×10 print of your choice (you can pick it through the online gallery).

But that is not all!
I will be offering an original design for Christmas cards! You will pick your design on the spot (I will reserve it just for you) and after I am done with the editing and uploading to an online gallery, you can pick a picture you would like to have on the Christmas card. I will include that design in JPG format on the CD, so you can print it yourself anywhere you want (or use it in e-mails)! You will get a print release from me, but don’t feel like it is not possible to print through me too. I can recommend places for printing, that is not a problem.

ALL THAT FOR $150!!!
No, I am making stuff up. That is not all…

ON TOP OF ALL – 10% OFF !!!

This is a prepaid service, I accept cash or checks.

Any questions can be answered @ 720 227 9126 or kate@stolensmiles.com by me.

If you are interested in setting up a photo shoot, please contact Sara @ 708 539 8527, she has become my manager for that weekend.

The Frank Family

Mark and his beautiful family were probably the easiest customers we have ever had The day for the photo shoot was beautiful (unexpected), everybody looked their best and the little guy? He was so active but at one point he just sat on the grass under a big tree and looked too cute and sad and everything mixed together!! Careful there though, it was just a pose for us!
I hope we will be able to photograph their newborn!

Michael’s family

Kate have met Michael one evening out while speaking in Czech language to her friend: “Are you guys Slovak?” Ever since they all became good friends and even set up a photo shoot with his sweet daughters. We were very surprised how well behaved the girls were. And funny! Here are one of the best shots we got.
