**UPDATE:

We are having A LOT of fun with these sessions!  I have opened up one more appointment to squeeze in on Saturday afternoon, 11th April.  Email me as soon as possible if you want to get in on these sessions.**

Periodically I get the chance to test out new cameras and lenses or other photography equipment.  I have need of models for these test sessions and the next one is coming up in April.  There will be 4 choices for location: Beach, Country, Home, or Urban (Sundays only.)  Sessions will last from 30-60 minutes.  All the details follow…

UPDATE:  There are only 3 appointments left, email me ASAP to book yours.  If you miss out on this round there may be another opportunity for 4 additional spots in May or June.  Looking forward to hearing from you!

Tiffany Baxter: These beautiful flowers totally epitomise spring - bring it on! Stunning photo's Dena!

Reb: Just what I needed on a dreary day in Chapel Hill. Gorgeous colors, gorgeous images!

Shellie: Your color is so lovely! I can't wait for spring now either!

Patti: Ooooh, me too... thanks for sharing! :)

Kristie Chadwick: I love the flowers! We still have snow here in Colorado....

I have been working with SatinSkin for about a year and a half now, creating all the photographs for web and print and assisting in web development.  I have to say I have quite enjoyed the perks of using the product as well.  For those who don’t know about SatinSkin it is all about one of the oldest beauty secrets that has probably remained a secret for too long.   The healthful benefits of silk.  In the case of SatinSkin, it is the healthful (and beauty) benefits of sleeping on silk pillowcases.  You can visit the website to learn more.  It is probably the easiest change to adopt in your beauty regime.  I can certainly attest to the end of bedhead and creases on my own skin.    So, through testimonials it was found that a lot of children were benefiting from using SatinSkin pillowcases, especially those girls with long hair that is a tangled mess in the morning.  Add to the fact that it is never too early to teach our children about proper skin care, and the need to represent children on the website came about.  Here is a quick sample  from my session to bring the younger face to SatinSkin.  Special thanks to the models.  We had a lot of fun…a regular pajama party which of course ended up in some fab bedjumping and pillow fighting!

I do love care packages!  Being beautifully wrapped and arriving at the perfect moment makes it all even better.

Can you see all that chocolate?  What more could a girl want? Chocolate goodies for me and an empty box and wrappings for him.  Lucky us!  Do you think I can send him over the ocean as a little thank you??

Thank you Reb!  smooches.

Reb: Awwww ... I'm glad everything made it over safely. Let me guess: you'll be having Annie's for dinner and chocolate chip cookies for dessert tonight? Enjoy! And YES!!! Send Taz over, he'll blend right in with all my crazy monkeys. xoxo

Lisa Kelly: aww, that is really sweet. I love the saying "a good friend walks through the door when everyone else is walking out". Good friends truly are priceless.

Shellie: Oh how wonderful!

Frederique Starmans-Rossollin: Oh your new blog is just beautiful. Love the pictures! So fun. And yes who wouldn't get such lovely packaging!

Double the Fun | Dena Robles | More Than Words | London Baby Photographer: [...] news to share!  You really can’t read my blog without hearing about Rebecca, for example here or there or here or a bazillion other places on my blog.  Well the good news is that for the last [...]

WELL.  It took 2 weeks (grrrrrr!) but I finally have my internet service back up and working.  I am so thrilled!  And so far behind.  I have a lot of catching up to do.  I feel like every aspect of my life was put on standby which makes me realise that I have probably become a bit too dependent on the internet.  I had ALL my eggs in that basket.  Something I need to work on.

On a lighter and much cuter note, here is a little sneak peek from last week of sweet, sweet Arthur.  He is nearly five months old and full of personality and all the wonderful chubbiness that makes this age so much fun to capture.  To mum and dad and the grandparents, enjoy!  I can’t wait to show you the rest from our session.
