About Sabrina K. Photography:

Welcome to my blog! I'm Sabrina Koogler, and I love photography! I always have my nose in a photography book, camera to my face, working on a challenge, workshop, or contest (in between sessions and processing!) becoming the best photographer I can be! I used to teach high school Spanish, and now I'm a stay-at-home mom to two adorable, rascally boys. Sabrina K Photography is my third baby, born of the need to document all of the milestones, wild times, and quiet moments of my children and others. My style is fun and natural. I seek to document the authentic "you" in my images. I offer custom portraiture in the Houston area, and I'm based in Pearland. I enjoy working with natural light and studio lighting--it's fun having a dual-sort of personality! And it certainly keeps things interesting!

    PROJECT 52: Week 19 {favorite song}

    Thursday, May 10th, 2012

    Okay, so I’ll confess “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” from the Disney Movie “Toy Story” is not my favorite song. But it’s a song we like because we like watching the Toy Story franchise.

    And I’ll confess as well that I’m back for round two of the Finding the Light workshop so expect to get lots of leftovers from those assignments for the next 8 weeks. Oh, and did I mention I’m also taking another lighting workshop (completely opposite–off-camera flash) starting Monday? Yes, I am crazy!

    So here are two images of my boys playing with some marbles. I try to brainwash them every day that they are best friends. That they will always have each others’ backs. That they will always be close. That they always have a friend in each other.

    Love.

    Now go check out the rest of the circle of the lovely ladies of The Bloom Forum, starting with Misty Seltzer | Lubbock, TX Family Photographer here.

    PROJECT 52: Week 17 {facial features}

    Thursday, April 26th, 2012

    I realized that I’ve been so consumed with other stuff that I have not really been playing with my new toy–my 100mm macro lens.  So I popped that bad boy on this week and have been sticking to it. Here’s a secret: I think I’m a prime gal after all. Yikes! How on earth am I going to resolve this love for primes with a love for families? Stay tuned for that, but today what I have for you are some {facial features} courtesy of this week’s challenge with the beautiful ladies of The Bloom Forum:

    Truly, he’s the apple of my eye. I can’t love this photo any more than I do right now. Big pink puffy heart love.

    Can dirt be considered a facial feature? It’s pretty much a standard around here! I love his squishy nose here. And the apple-eating drool drop.

    Love that expressive face. He would not give up the dimples, though. Boy, he has the cutest dimples! Since the day he was born! I was lucky to get what I got!

    Those ladykiller eyelashes. . . sigh. . .he gets them from his Daddy. (Notice he’s wearing a different sunsuit here? Yeah, did I mention “dirt” being a constant??)

    Yes, his eyes are totally unreal here. I didn’t really do anything with them in post. Love this boy!!!

    What a fun assignment this week! Perhaps if I was working with my “big” I would have been able to really get close to focus on those details, but this will do for now!

    Now go check out Misty Seltzer | Lubbock, TX Family Photographer to see her take on this week’s theme here.

    PROJECT 52: Week 16 {expressive}

    Thursday, April 19th, 2012

    Well, I’ve been out a few weeks feeling just a little overwhelmed but I am back and excited about being part of the loop again for the weekly challenge!

    This week’s theme is {expressive} and there is no one I know who is more into his own self-expression that my Big right now. He’s got very strong opinions on everything–he has since the day he was born!–and as we approach 5 his own sense of style is really coming out.

    So here he is, folks, my truly {expressive} little man:

    Orange (Go Horns!) athletic shorts, blue cowboy boots and a long-sleeve glow-in-the-dark Star Wars (Clone Wars, of course) t-shirt. Love this kid!

    Go check out the lovely ladies of The Bloom Forum to see their interpretation of this week’s theme, starting with Mischief and Laughs Photography here

    PROJECT 52: Week 13 {album cover}

    Thursday, March 29th, 2012

    This one was a stumper. Fortunately, one of the assignments from the wonderful workshop I’m taking right now overlapped this theme. Whew! That took some pressure off.

    I know some of the awesome ladies in this circle from The Bloom Forum have interpreted this as the “album cover of my life”. For me, I went with a song that applies to life right now: Tom Petty’s “Wildflowers”. You can view the YouTube Video here.

    I had the pleasure of working with a friend’s GORGEOUS daughter for this exercise. I could post every.single.image. we shot but will limit myself (okay, not limiting a ton, but you know what I mean)!

    Here are the lyrics:

    You belong among the wildflowers
    You belong in a boat out at sea
    Sail away, kill off the hours
    You belong somewhere you feel free

    Run away, find you a lover
    Go away somewhere bright and new
    I have seen no other
    Who compares with you

    You belong among the wildflowers
    You belong in a boat out at sea
    You belong with your love on your arm
    You belong somewhere you feel free
    [ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/t/tom-petty-lyrics/wildflowers-lyrics.html ]

    Run away, go find a lover
    Run away, let your heart be your guide
    You deserve the deepest of cover
    You belong in that home by and by

    You belong among the wildflowers
    You belong somewhere close to me
    Far away from your trouble and worry
    You belong somewhere you feel free
    You belong somewhere you feel free

    And here are my images:

    Oh wait, did I just share 15 photos? Well, I could have shared about 100. This was such a fun session with such a beautiful girl. What a pleasure.

    Now that I made you scroll down through all of that, check out what Misty Seltzer | Lubbock, TX Family Photographer has to show for her {album cover} here.
