Kamee June Photography bio picture

The looks of my life; the looks of my loves, and what I look like.

I love the look on Jaren’s face when we are at a party and I catch him staring at me from across the room, looking at me like he is seeing me for the first time. I love the smile I get from Gunnar when we are on the carpet playing cars, trains, or dinosaurs; he stares at me amazed, like I am the coolest mom who has motorized and prehistoric sounds coming from my mouth. I am in love with the look I get from my baby girl each morning when i get her out of bed; she beams because I am someone special to her. I love my parents’ faces when I walk through the doors of home after having been gone for a long time; their eyes fill with love, and I see a reminiscent comfort. I love the expression my sister gives when she realizes the adoption cleared; they will be getting another baby.  I love the weary grin on my brother’s face as he crosses the finish line of his 64th marathon.  I love the surprise on my girlfriend’s face when I gift her our favorite lip gloss we thought was discontinued. I love the look on my face when I find the perfect pair of slimming jeans or the most flattering swimsuit. I even love the look on children’s faces when they get all pouty and sad because they don’t get their way. I love the look of graduation day: the look of accomplishment, success, and the anticipated future. I love the look of a man totally devoted to one woman because she completes his heart. I love the look of unexpected surprises, the look of a fourth of July picnic, the look of first visits to Disneyland, the look of falling stars, the look of Winter's first snow, the look of a long overdue vacation, the look of winning soccer teams, the look of cookies fresh from the oven, the look of christmas morning, the look of family, the look of mothers drinking in their new babies, the look of unspoken yet powerfully present love. I love the expressions, the countenances, the features, and the presence of life and its undeniably endearing moments, and I love immortalizing them forever with my camera. 

This blog fuses the looks of my life and looks of my loves. It follows my expressions of growth, both professional and personal, and it allows you to take a peek at my moments, my thoughts, and my heart.

I would love to meet your look.

Aanika, Danny, and Skipping Stones Forever, Together

Email

I love my job!! It doesn’t even feel like work; it feels like a gift, a pleasure, a treat!! I LOVE my…opportunity to experience, feel, witness, and photograph people’s love!! It’s rad, awesome, and so cool on so many levels!! I am profoundly grateful for what I do every weekend! It sounds cliche, but it’s the truth: I love the couples I photograph (I LOVE everyone I photograph)! I love their families and their celebrations and I feel blessed to be a part of their special days!!

Aanika and Danny are getting married on Saturday in Santa Barbara.

It’s going to be happy, all of it!! A happy, cheerful, fun, lighthearted day of much merry making!!! I don’t think any of us will stop smiling the whole day through!! It’s going to be the perfect day to celebrate them!!

They are the couple that skips stones together, walks the extra mile (up a really steep climb ;)) together, takes an extra minute on the beach just to hold hands and drink each other in before heading back to the busy of life. They are the couple that laugh at each other’s jokes, even the not so funny ones (and hysterical ones to other people: aka water shoes ;)); they are the couple that holds each other’s heart in each other’s hands and keeps it safe, and will keep it safe, forever.

They are the couple I love to spend time with, the couple I love to photograph, the couple I love to love!!

So happy because they are happy, together.

Here’s to Aanika, Danny, their timeless relationship, all their laughter, love, and a day they will never forget!!! Much love to them and their families!!! Excited for Saturday!!! xx KJ

Nicole: A Goddess Divine

Email

Nicole,

You are lovely, beyond description.

You are chilled lemonade on a summer’s day;

Constant air conditioning set to 74 degrees;

The Nordstrom half-yearly, all year;

A true laugh;

A perfect perfume;

A comfortable sweatshirt,

The most perfect pair of Steve Madden’s,

The cherry on top,

and a magnificent goddess divine!!!!

Time with you is a treat. I hope I get to see more of you even after you graduate and move on to bigger adventures in the Big Apple!! I am so excited for you, so happy for this time in your life and what is awaiting you, so very excited for the growth you are on the brink of experiencing. I already know you love that city; I have a feeling it is going to love you too, like we all do.

You are beauty, personified!!!

May you drink in every experience that is waiting. May you freeze the moments that happen over the course of the next few months and save them forever in your happiest memory place. May you walk to the future with confidence, that greatness and success are waiting for you to reach out and take hold of them!!! Go confidently in the direction of your dreams!! Much love, Kamee

PS Graduating seniors of the classes of 2013-14 don’t forget about the great Kamee June Senior Sale!!! Check out all the details here!!! ;)

 

Katie and Will and Saturday

Email

Doesn’t that just sound sweet? Katie and Will. Will and Katie.

I adore it.

And them.

And in 4 days they will be Mr. and Mrs. Katie and Will.

Even more adorable.

I love thinking about this on a wedding day:

To everyone else in the world it’s just a normal Saturday, or whatever day of the week it is. Laundry has to be done, beds changed, soccer games attended, played, and of course, won. Children are dropped at birthday parties, grocery lists are made and checked off, pets are taken to the dog park, bikes are ridden and then left on the grass to feel the sprinklers of the next normal day. Just normal, mundane, chores are accomplished that are required to prepare for the week. But this Saturday will always be special to Katie and Will, because it has, already been etched as theirs. Their very own day, that gets to be all. about. them. To everyone else it will be just another day, but to them, it’s the day they promise, so much, for forever.

Saturday, every year, will always be, their day!! I can’t wait to be there to celebrate their first day as a married couple! Thank you, Katie and Will, for asking me to be a part of your day; I am so looking forward to being there with you and all of your most important people! Thank you for touching my heart and make it, and me, smile! Here’s to you both!! xx KJ

Maddy-Girl: Mega Senior Sale 2013 and 2014!!!

Email

The experience on the brink of happening is unlike anything you will ever know or love.

It’s independence, personified.

It’s self-discovery, deepened.

It’s FUN, purified.

 

It will be, I promise, one of the greatest times in your life. You will look back on your college years with a profound fondness. I can’t wait for you to have the next four, maybe five ;), years of your life!!

In a few months you will close out your high school career. This too will be unlike any time you ever have. May you always reflect back on high school as a time of true friends, emergent scholastics,
