This blog sits at the intersection of my life as a photographer, a mom, a wife and all the things I adore.
A quick update from a 9 month old baby boy portrait session from this summer.
Yes, it is true. I am already all nostalgic for summer. Even though I expect to get a decent number of outdoor portraits in before winter rears its mostly ugly sometimes beautiful head, this photographer can’t help but wish she was in California all year long.
We did the majority of this session indoors since that is where little “B” was spending most of his hours at this time.
My favorite thing about “B” wasn’t his gorgeous baby blues, but his curly toes.
There are those toes again. Love.
Tomorrow? Halloween pics of my little “Kendall Bear”.

Dawn Mikulich is at the height of its busy portrait season. Especially so since I tried to get every single client on the waiting list scheduled before the end of Fall. I am happy to say I did it. Maybe even over did it! Nonetheless, I wouldn’t want my working days filled any other way. I’m looking forward to catching up with everyone over the next several weeks.
December portrait session dates are now open to anyone who is interested! Get in touch.
In the meantime meet “N”. I first photographed her when she was the grand old age of 3. She was quite playful back then and this year she’s the most athletic child I photographed so far. Tree climbing was at the top of her list of favorite things to do. So — guess what the first stop on the DMP Children’s Portrait Express was?
That’s right the climbing trees! “N” climbed and climbed and climbed until she went a little too high and we had to encourage some other activities.
We tore that playground up!!! From the tire and the tunnels to the swings and the monkey bars “N” showed me how to play, really play, at the park. I’ll have to send her a thank you card for helping get my exercise in for the day!
Oh and did I mention the fun?!?

Nope, not me. I’m the busy bee you hear buzzing in the background. My schedule has been jam packed with families and tots. Most of which I have photographed in the past. I’m having a blast getting to see how each little one has grown.
I first photographed this family when the youngest of this charming sister set was only three months old. She’s a big grown up three years old now! Oh how the time flies!
Too fast. Too fast!

No fireworks. Instead I give you the next best thing — a coneflower about to bloom.
With no appointments scheduled I spent the long weekend hanging out with my favorite girl who was going through another round of heavy duty teething. Poor thing is not happy. Even the pup felt the pain. I think it concerns annoys her when K cries.

Over the last few months some of my dear readers keenly noticed that I’ve added San Francisco and London to my ever expanding service area. The plan is to travel to San Francisco twice a year and London once a year. They are my two favorite cities (other than Chicago, of course!) so why not put some effort in making them a bigger part of my life? Look for the addition of other cities in the future!
I’ll be traveling to San Francisco during the first week of July. Currently, there is room for one more appointment. If you are in the Bay Area and are looking for an enthusiastic portrait photographer, I’m your girl.

An apple plus Annie’s Whole Wheat Bunnies, in my favorite new flips, outside on the patio with K in tow. Oh and a camera! All inspired by today’s unbelievably gorgeous weather.

At a mere three months old little baby Jack had this photographer daydreaming about his big baby blues the whole way home.
On the day of his portrait session Jack slept a little less than usual and needed some extra lovin’ from mama inbetween takes. Such a little sweetie!
