Its So Official

Oliver Beckett Photography that is!  So what is Oliver Beckett Photography and how can you contact us? OBP is probably the scariest thing I have done in my life and yes, that includes birthing two children. Its my little pet project, something that I am doing for myself (and my family of course) but something that honestly, makes me smile when even thinking about picking up my camera. My hope and dream is to capture those special family moments. Whether it be the anticipation of a pending arrival, those first few days as a new family of 3, 4, or more. Whether it is the companionship between a beloved dog and his master or a family gathering to celebrate turning 80 wonderful years old. Whatever it may be, I want to be able to capture that moment and make time stand still.

Now for the important part-how can you reach us? First, you can check out our website-work in progress-but up and running! Oliver Beckett Photography. You can also email us at kmhartley@hotmail.com (for now, working on an email address too).

My main goal for this blog is to give a quick sneak peek to those who I have just shot with. I know when we have our family pictures taken that I am on the edge of my seat waiting to see a preview, so this is where the first pictures will show up. Since it will take some time to build a client base, posts could be very few and far between in the beginning but fingers crossed word of mouth works wonders and we will see lots of new faces gracing the pages of this blog.

Here is a sample of what one might find…

The L Family

The L Family visited me a couple weeks back on one very hot day. Luckily we were able to get a few outside shots in early before heading inside to the nice and cool temperatures. This is the L family's first family session since their Baby Boy B was born. Baby Boy B was such a pleasant baby to be around and shoot, he was full of smiles. Can't wait to watch him grow over the next year.





About Me

I am a wife and a mother to two of the cutest boys on Earth, Kaden OLIVER and Logan BECKETT.  Over the last year I have developed a passion for photography and I haven't been able to put my camera down. What started as just trying to capture my boys turned into so much more and has been one of the most fulfilling and rewarding additions to my life.  A few fun facts about me-I have had a HUGE crush on Mark McGrath for what seems like forever. I love a good yellow cake with milk chocolate icing. I am TOTALLY addicted to PINTEREST. And I can't start my day without a Sonic Iced Tea, seriously, I should buy stock in them.
