We are so pleased and excited to announce that Mark Crosby (click his name for his bio and portfolio) has joined our team as a first or main photographer and will be shooting weddings exclusively for CKP on Nantucket. He has been working for us for a couple of years now, possesses a keen eye for detail and composition, is a master of technique and has a calming and warm personality to boot. We will be offering his wedding photography plans at a reduced rate as compared to Claudia's and he will be accompanied by a trained assistant as well. Please contact the studio for more information. Mark's email address at the studio is mark@claudiak.com.

It's a gorgeous summer on Nantucket and capturing the kids during their short childhood is what we're up to these evenings on the beaches. The soft light is really warm and delicious these days around 7:00 PM so if you can feed your kids early and promise ice cream later then this is the magic hour. Here little Mya is at her best and she is herself with sandy hands and windblown hair. Her brother Ryan is pretty darn cute too. Check out more of our portraits on our website. We have two photographers offering portrait packages at two different price points. Oh, and call soon as we're booking up fast!

Ah, to capture the not-so-obvious. That is what it is all about when the photographer delves deeper into the wedding day of her client. What I strive to do is to capture all the elements of your wedding day, the details, the portraits and the moments. This blog entry is about the moments, the not-so-obvious moments and for that you have to be completely zoned in on the moments and not let yourself float off into oblivion, but to stay present, focused on the now. It sounds obvious and easy, but it's a practice, it's a discipline, it's an art. It's my practice and my zen to fall into your day and be there for you. Here are a few moments that I captured at recent weddings. And the last shot is one my second shooter caught of me completely immersed in my work.
