My great photography

Welcome to my blog!

I’m Klo (much easier to say than Klodjana, right? trust me, my name looks more difficult than it really is). I’m a wife, a mom, a photographer. I’m 28.

I became a professional photographer in 2007. Not too long ago, but I’ve put everything into it. I love my job. It is probably the best job in the world!

I love food. Vacations are so only if I go to the beach on hot summer days. I speak 4 language (Albanian, Italian, English and Turkish) and have at least 4 more on my “wish list”. One day I will learn them. My (Italian) husband spoils me by cooking every night. I am a “citizen of the world” – born and raised in Albania, lived for 7 years in Italy (where I also scored the guy willing to put up with me) and currently in the Bay Area. Future plans include moving back to Milan in a few years. I wish I could live in a place with no winter. Actually, I wish I could travel the world. Literally. My English is great but I have an accent – some find it cute or funny.

Isn’t he really cute? You might remember his mom’s gorgeous belly from here and here, although I have yet to post the best of that maternity session (bad, bad blogger).

Happy 2011!

January 1st, 2011

Hope all of you had an awesome time celebrating on New Year’s Eve! May the New Year bring you all your heart has wished for.

With a toddler in our hands we couldn’t go out to celebrate like old times. Instead, we had a quiet dinner at home, followed by some relaxing time on the couch and a movie. My husband treated me to this yumminess. After the little one saw them too, everything was fast gone!

I am horribly behind on blogging my sessions and I blame it on the busy holiday season. A couple more weeks and it should all go back to normal.

How adorable is he?

In Winter Wonderland | Lake Tahoe

December 20th, 2010

We decided to go on a little family trip to Lake Tahoe this past weekend. I thought it was going to be relaxing but with a toddler nothing is. We also found about the worst weather – lots of rain, wind and generally just gloomy.

The only shot of the lake I took, the wind was almost blowing me away (I know I’m skinny, but really, it was strong).

From the 12th floor of the Hyatt Regency. Didn’t think my 20mm would actually not be enough. And, look closely, there are people in the pool down there! I’m cold just thinking about it.

I have about a zillion shots of my son, who didn’t like the snow at all (it was his first time and maybe seeing Mommy and Daddy sink in the snow to their knees wasn’t very reassuring for the pint size self that he is).

Here is a little extra. I know, I look crazy. I’m smiling but I really hate snow/rain being blown right in my face and eyes. Oh, and my fingers were falling off because I got smart and left my gloves in the car thinking I would be out for a few quick shots (the above macros). Not a good idea.

In the Holiday spirit

December 16th, 2010

I’m probably a tad biased, but this kid is seriously cute! :)

And of course he decided to run towards me. God forbid this kid actually sat still for more than a few seconds.

Our other “tree” – a simple string of lights. It’s hanging in front of the house. I posted photos of our regular (although fake) tree on the little monster’s blog.
