The Wonderfully Adorable "A" Sisters
These two were the sweetest little girls. I'd say more but honestly after a short shoot this morning that left me with too many mosquito bites to count and a day of nap protests courtesy of Kendall I've got little left to give you my dear Internet.

Lovely Little "A"

Handsome Baby Jack
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!

Sisters

The mom of these lovely little ladies recently scheduled an appointment to update their portraits. The images shown here were taken last year. I pulled these images from a folder I keep on my Mac with my favorite images from each portrait session. It helps to keep faces and names fresh in my head and to get me even more exited to see each DMP kid "all grown up".
I remember this session like it was yesterday. These girls were a blast. I can't wait to work with them again this summer.

High School Senior Photographer?
Maybe. I really loved shooting an older "kid". Em, I know you're not a kid anymore. You are actually quite the gorgeous young lady. We had a lot of fun at her shoot and it was a nice change of pace to have a collaboration going on opposed to the chase I'm usually part of with a toddler shoot. Here are a few of my favorites from her session:

It was so windy on the day of our session that we contemplated changing the date, but ultimately decided we had to make the best of it to fit her schedule. The wind was a challenge, but we were able to use it to our advantage in most scenarios, see above left.





I could post so many more, but I've got to stop somewhere!

Cute As Can Be
He had me at the first flutter of those crazy beautiful eyelashes. Wow!

A "Little Stinker"
His mom said it, not me. :) Nonetheless, he's an adorable little stinker!

All of my children's portrait sessions are planned so that the appointment is scheduled at the child's best time of day. In most cases this means after a nap or feeding. Or, both. Even so it happens now and then where I arrive and my mini model isn't in the best of moods.
It happens! And, that's okay. We all have bad days, don't we?

I would definitely classify "L" as not being in the mood for pictures, but you can't even tell from his portraits. We simply gave him his space and time to have his grumpy moments. Then, captured his moments of delight and wonder in between.

All adorable with no trace of "stinker".

Wonderful Little G
A cute little one year old portrait session at the local conservatory.

Do you know where your belly button is? Let's all be thankful that question isn't for adults!

Happy Weekend!

A Hodge Podge of DMP Things
Waiting List » In the next two weeks, I'll begin booking June, July and August from the list. I'm putting together a few different types of session packages and I want to make these available before booking any more sessions. Options are good. If there's something you would like to see in a session fee + portrait products package, let me know. Things are still in the works.
Casting Call » After I get through my waiting list, I'll be doing a small casting call for unique looking kids of all ages (curly hair, red hair, dark hair + blue eyes, etc.) to take part in a few complimentary conceptual sessions. These will be to test new locations and ideas I've been cooking up.
Reminder » To those reading along via an email subscription I've set up an options page where you can select what type of email you receive. If you are interested in one of the other options, simply unsubscribe from your current subscription (you can do so at the bottom of each email). Then, sign up for a new one.
There are so many of you currently on the list I can't help but cringe each time I post a new entry. This is especially the case when I'm posting personal entries. I'm thinking who could possibly want to read this. Nonetheless I'm going to keep posting. It's a nice distraction from the everyday and it serves as good therapy.
The Usual » Since I haven't posted portrait session images in a few days... check out this adorable one year old. She is just as sweet in person as she looks here.

100% Pure Awesome
I've photographed adorable "N" three times since he turned 1. It is so amazing to be able to witness a baby turn into this fascinating little person.
And if you think this session looked like fun, you have no idea. There was running, jumping, peeking and booing. I was in desperate need of a nap afterwards. Where do these kids get the energy?!?

This door is famous ... I photographed it so many times. That deep green and urban texture is irresistible.
