Alrighty! A little sneak peek for A. You are SO full of wonderful 7-year-old-girlie-spunk and personality. All this and I haven’t even edited all the dancing and jumping photos. Hang on tight.
I see there is more of this spirit and personality to blossom in your family…
One more…one of my favorites.

I know I have made you wait much too long for your sneak peek from our session Natasha (sorry!) So here are a few photographs before I get your gallery finished this weekend. You were an absolute pleasure to work with and you are a natural in front of the camera. I hope you enjoy these, just wait to see what else is coming!
Peek-a-boo!
I think this next one is my session favorite so far:
One of many from my funny old camera:
Then finally, you turned the tables on me. Too bad there wasn’t any film in it–ha ha!
Your gallery will be finished this weekend. Talk to you soon.

Paula Swift: Dena...gorgeous work! I just love the "Sally Mann" feel to your work. That 3rd image..sigh..just beautiful!
Here is Sam. Not really interested in having photographs made. I do have a few tricks up my sleeve though.
Gotcha Sam!
Do six year old boys want to photograph with their big sisters? Not usually…but we worked it out in the end.
And what do 6 year old boys REALLY want to do? Climb castle walls of course. Have at it Sam. You deserve it.

notes: Canon 5D, 90 mm TSE again.
Noah! It is your birthday. And you are FOUR! We miss you so much and love you even more.
Cameron and I decided it was a good reason to make cake.
SO, yummy scrummy ooey gooey sticky licky chocolate peanut butter cupcakes it is. Oh yeaahhhhhh.
Then we had a party!
Have a happy happy birthday Noah!!
Noah: THANK YOU! I really like the one picture where Cameron had the book about Toby the tram engine. I like the signs about Happy Birthday Noah. I also like that I got a train named Stanley. Aiden and India and Cameron are really cute. Last, I want to tell Dena and the kids Thank You for the party. Love, Noah
Rebecca: You are all so sweet. Noah was grinning from ear to ear when he saw these pictures (especially when he saw Toby, lol) and so was I. xoxo
dena: Oh my goodness those cakes were good sa-wheeeeeeet heaven! btw, the inclusion of Toby was *not* a dig at Noah the trainmaster/trainhoarder. .. xo you guys.
Frederique Starmans-Rossollin: Love these!!! And these cupcakes, may I order some for my birthday??? Your kids are just all so adorable!

julie Miller: awwwww, happy birthday Noah. what wonderful friends you are Dena. Lucky Noah.
Busy week for me at Hadleigh Castle. I think I deserve my own tower bedroom and tiara by now wouldn’t you think? A bit of a sneak peek here for Amber. Amber, Amber, Amber…you captivated me. It is as simple as that.
I love how your eyes sparkled and your skin glowed in the sun…(sorry about the bees and spiders in the flowers!)
We will be seeing more of you, my friend, much more!

Frederique Starmans-Rossollin: So beautiful! Did you get a TS lens?
Tiffany Baxter: Dena, these stunning photos also capture the inner beauty so beautifully, how do you do it!
The sweetest smile, the sparkliest eyes and a quiet kind spirit. That’s Jess. I do believe you were the princess at the castle that day.
Reb: Love the rich color of these shots. I think the first image is my favorite, but I keep coming back to the last one too ... they're all just gorgeous. :)
Kristie Chadwick: Beautiful! I just love this age. The second one is my favorite I am just so drawn to her eyes.
Stacy W.: Completely adorable! I can't pick a favorite!
Sherri W: OH what gorgeous light and color at this location. Beautiful subject, too!
A little sneak peek here for Amy from our sunny afternoon at Hadleigh Castle. Usually this much sunshine is a dilemma for portrait photographers, but living in grey England one learns to embrace the sun whenever it makes its infrequent appearances. I am stumped to pick my favorites, Amy. You are very photogenic and so fun to work with.
Thank you for being willing to jump in a patch of sunny flowers for me. I tried it again the next day on a different session….and uh, well…there were critters that day. We got lucky!
And you know that funny looking camera I was using? Well, this is what we got. I quite like it.
Miss Jessica my dear, you are up next!

I have challenged the members of my learning blog to a weekly creative assignment, this time with the theme of Blue. Here is my submission. I do hope they remember to do theirs as well!
This was taken with my old uber scratched up Kodak Duaflex camera and 100 mm macro lens.
Brooke Lowther: Where can I find your learning blog?
katelyn: hey there. did you take this through the viewfinder or is this a print you got back from the lab with a black border? silly question, i know

dena: Ann, I would have to agree--born model! I don't think I have ever seen such a lovely color of hair before either. Think Jack will be getting it too?
