It Doesn’t Get Better

Dawn Mikulich — Wed, 19 Jan 2011 01:20:24 +0000

Will you just check out those sweet little piggie tails?!? Oh my goodness.

This will be the last post in 2011 with 2010 images. My Winter vacation has officially ended and with new portrait sessions already complete I feel a teensy bit ridiculous posting older work. Also, I think it’s hard to get into a regular flow of blogging this way. Onward march!

Summer Dreams

Dawn Mikulich — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 03:51:38 +0000

Flowers and shorts in January? Yep, I’m still catching up on the dear old blog. I have a few more portrait sessions I want to share from last year and then it’s full steam ahead for 2011. A new workflow is in place and I’m hoping that will turn into more regular updates here. Fingers crossed!

Meanwhile, let’s enjoy summer 2010 with this charming family!

Beach Portraits

Dawn Mikulich — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 13:18:55 +0000

Oh the beach! I was asked to shoot at the beach more last year than any previous year. Evenso this ended up being the only beach session of the year. Why? Well, light is harsh along the lakefront and really the only right time for portraits on the beach is near sunset which happens to also be the worst time of day for most little ones.

Mom promised these delightful girls were up for the happiness challenge. She was certainly right.

If your family is up for a beach shoot, plan for a late dinner, a slightly larger afternoon snack and loads of good fun!

It’s time for Family Pictures!

Dawn Mikulich — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 02:57:10 +0000

One simple phone conversation with this adorable mom and I knew I would want to blog pictures from their session. Yep, even before the photo shoot, even before I met them or visited the location. The location was her childhood home and that is the sweetest thing I could ever wish to photograph.

This portrait session was photographed in May. Since I haven’t had time to keep up with blogging, I was going to start fresh with new sessions going forward, but this session in particular could not be passed up.

One Little Family Sitting on the Bed

Love doesn’t make the world go round.
Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.
—Franklin P. Jones—

When I was a kid the first place I’d go every morning was mom & dad’s bed. First thing. And when I got sick, I’d spend the entire day there. Dad would bring me soup. I’d watch cartoons. I would feel better just being there. I’m not the only one, am I?

So it makes sense that the first stop for almost any at home family portrait session is mom & dad’s room. Nothing deserves to be captured like the fun that takes place and by some miracle the light is always right!

Last Newborn of 2009

Dawn Mikulich — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 03:01:33 +0000

I still haven’t placed it, but something about this precious little girl reminded me so much of my baby girl. So much so I got a little tickle in my stomach.
