Here is a showcase sampling of some of my favorites of wee little baby Owen and his family.
So, I didn’t get Daddy in front of my camera. Dan, your time is coming…I am holding you to it. Perhaps when he is 6 months old? Run run run as fast as you can, but I’ll still catch you…
Enjoy your photographs and your lovely family! Your slideshow is on the way.

I am up late at night working on my new website, packaging up my last portrait order, contemplating writing out some christmas cards (yeah right, it’s the thought that counts) and also trying to weed down and organise my bajillion gigabytes of photo files. Oh, and eating chocolate cake. Anyway, in the midst of trying to do all the many things I should be doing I am most enjoying looking at all the years and years of photographs. And eating chocolate cake. Here is a set I don’t think I have ever blogged, I have them hanging in my kitchen and I smile everytime I glance at them. Just thought I would share. CAM (a.k.a. Cute Adorable Menace) last April.
I love the way he is curling his toes in this next one. We call that ‘happy feet’ at our house.
{{smooch}}
Thanks for watching! Chocolate cake is reduced to miniscule crumbs, time to go to bed. Christmas cards tomorrow perhaps??
Paul Dunn: Love him. Thanks for sharing. He makes me smile too.
The year end is fast approaching and I want to take a minute to thank everyone I have worked with in 2008. It has been a true pleasure to share a little moment of your lives and help create some mementos along the way. Session bookings for 2008 end December 7th, however any orders from that week will not be completed until after Christmas as I will be out seeking some much needed sunshine, sand and relaxation with my own family and friends. If you are hoping to give a christmas gift of portrait photography I can always offer gift vouchers for sessions in the new year.
I do have some exciting news to report for the new year including a brand new website, blog and new look and business name too. I will unveil the ‘new me’ in early 2009. Along with these changes will come a completely new pricing structure and product offerings as well. I can’t wait!
Also, I seem to have had a few issues lately with my phone and voicemail. I apologise for that. I am most easily reachable via email at either dena_hy@btinternet.com or denarobles@gmail.com. If you need to speak with me on the phone, please try to leave a message and if you don’t hear back from me within a day an email may be in order. I will admit that half the problem with my phone is the toddler angst and sticky fingers that are obsessed with my phone. The other half of the problem is over-my-head techno stuff. I do cameras, that’s it. LOL.
I have some more sneak peeks and session showcases to post soon, but for now will leave you with a photograph of the pesky toddler doing his best to push my buttons and get away with it. The impish grin gets me every time!
Patsy Dunn: OMG he looks so much like Aidan did at that age, dirty face and all.
Rebecca: His eyes and his chubby cheeks and his itty bitty baby grin ... it's all just too cute for words. On another note ... how can he be so BIG? Is he really feeding himself? Whaaaaa!!!
michelle: Omg yum yum, I want to eat HIM up!! Make him stop growing!
Tanya: That look Cameron is giving the strawberry reminds me Hy! I'm sure I've seen him give that same look.
Rebecca: Everything about this image (and the little guy) is perfect. But that baby comb-over is just killing me! Seriously, could he be any cuter? Thanks for the Cam fix . . .
Paul Dunn: Dena, I really cherish the pics of Cameron , as well as, those of Aidan and India. Thanks so very much for sharing your kids via your excellent photography talent and skills. Lova ya Dad
Rebecca: Puree heaven is PURE heaven. Oh thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for giving me a Cameron fix. Except that it just leaves me wanting more . . . how can he be *six* months old already??? I've got to get out there to meet him and soon!
kateyn: i am ever so grateful for blogline's "keep new" feature. your words always flow so smoothly.. and i often save your posts for inspiration when i have children of my own. i loved reading about the rice ceremony.
Patsy Dunn: Looks yummy alright! Cameron, I'm coming to share dinner with you, I wish. Dena you are right, he is sweey cute and oh so yummy. Nona
Paul Dunn: A pat on the back is well deserved as it was well earned. Keep up the Great Work. You write about sweet things very beautifully and I enjoy so very much reading and viewing your artistic works. When are you going to do a BOOK?? Love Dad

Rebecca: You nut. Two can play this game. Alright you stalker . . . I posted. Your turn - lol!
Paul Dunn: Dena, Through my tear filled eyes, I marvel at this posting and wish oh wish that I could be there to share this joy up close and personal. Thanks for sharing your art and words of love. We miss you and Hy and the grandchildren immensely. Love you all. Dad
Rebecca: Oh, he's so sweet and yummy I can hardly stand it. And the images and words are just as sweet as the lump o' brown sugar himself. Thanks for the "gush" - you made my day!
Patsy Dunn: Amazing! After all of those names and nicknames he is still smiling. What a kid!
Jennifer: how beautiful and sweet. I love that you captured the details too.
Dave ..as in Heater: hey i'm new to the blog posting- i finally got around to checking out the site- i love it. you all look great. Hope Fall is treating you well. miss gabriella has adopted a british slang with her "Hi Bob" greeting she plans to use if we ever squeeze out a visit.
Paul Dunn: What a great smile. I miss you guys already.
Patsy Dunn: I want a clean slate every morning!!! Where can I get it?
Rebecca: Ahem (waving arms) . . . excuse me. So . . . how do I view Mr. Cameron on my Mac!?! Can you load the slideshow onto your site maybe? Pretty please? I need a Cameron fix. :)
Lydia: Truly, truly way TOO cute. He's delicious.
Paul Dunn: Hey World: That's MY Grandson!!! Papa
Rebecca: Yep, too cute for words. You lucky girl!
Vickey Weiss: Cutest baby EVER!!!
Rebecca: You rock my world girl. Seriously! Thank you a million times over. I couldn't be more thrilled or grateful. xoxo
Christina Parkinson: Thanks for taking over when I left. It helped me to leave knowing you were going to take great care of them. The pictures are wonderful. I love the graceful look of Rebecca with Owen. The individual portraits of the boys with Owen are so fun because they capture much of their personalities. I am glad Owen has grown because he sure looks little in his portraits. The 4 boys picture is amazing. I love your use of textures. I hope going home and getting back into the routine was all right.
Jessica: Dena, wow! Just simply wow! Beautiful, gorgeous, soft, emotive and wonderful portraits.
Julie Mud: Great job! Reb always has such nice things to say about you. I guess I won't meet you until Michael and Indie marry, huh? I love Owen's wrinkly skin on the first one, and I love the second one how you can actually picture how he fit inside Reb's little belly. Wait, what am I saying, HE was really little. My kids are always double that size. And I love all the one's with each bro individually.
Cher: Dena, I've heard so much about you through Rebecca! Your pictures are lovely and I didn't want them to end!
Anna Jones: Dena, these are sooo beautiful! What a wonderful friend you are! I can't think of a better gift - they'll treasure these forever!
janine: I've been on your site a few times without commenting but when I saw the images of Rebecca and Owen I had to come and look at more! They are absolutely inspirational. I am just about to go to a newborn shoot for my good friend and am nearly beside myself after looking at these - thank you so much for sharing them :)
dena: Oh thank you for all the kind words!
julie Miller: I too have heard so much about you through Reb. The pictures are great. I especially like the fifth one down and the one of little Owen in the basket. So precious. That is a wonderful gift you gave Rebecca- in addition to your friendship! Lucky girl.
Michelle Miller: Dena,these are lovely! So Beautiful! My favs are the ones with Mom :)
sheila: I love each and everyone of these. Beautiful!
Chelsey: Dena, these are beautiful. So much love... in front of (& behind) the camera... incredible to see that. Inspirational!
ally breazeale: just perfection. so taken with the brotherhood images, especially. hte last one couldn't be sweeter.
TaraMc: So beautiful! That sibling shot is certainly one to treasure, excellent job.
Tara: I love all of these. They are absolutely stunning.
Cari Long: These are all so beautiful. What a sweet little guy. I, too, love his wrinkley skin. You show such connection in all the images.
Brenda: Dena...these are beyond gorgeous!! Goodness...they are sooo crisp and just WOW! So...maybe you 2 can swing on down to Texas next time....Hee-Hee!!
