Two-lips and Candy Roses

February 11, 2009

mmmmmmmmmmmm Valentine’s Day is so0000 close and my mind is hopelessly obsessed on the sweeties and chocolates and flowers.

Cue in FancyNancy !! I have been working with Juliet Sear, owner and creative baker-extraordinaire of Fancy Nancy Cakes. You might remember some of my previous blog posts of her here and here. I am always excited to support local businesses and to witness their growth and popularity. Fancy Nancy is about to move to a classy bigger studio and open a storefront and I can’t wait to watch the future of the business…and of course sample some new goodies along the way. I can only hope that a gym will open up across the street too. LOL. Exciting times ahead! Here are a few sample of what we photographed last week. Kiss cookies and the Pastel Rose Wedding cake. I do believe those lovely roses are handmade of white chocolate…yum.

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.

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!!

Max

July 8, 2008

Another Featured Session here, spotlight on Max! He was photographed with his 2 siblings and being the youngest, I think he deserves his very own spotlight. We had fun together in the alleyways of Leigh discussing “ewwww, girls!” which resulted in a lot of animated expressions.

Catching up

July 2, 2008

So it seems that I am stuck in a pattern of only posting to this blog about once a month. It is always on my long list of things to do…but often gets pushed to the bottom of the list. That just won’t do. I’m going to play catch up a bit and feature some recent sessions. The first is a continuation of the little guy in the last post. Here is Addison the Thinker, the Artist, the Train Engineer Extraordinaire, the Ham, and even the Photographer!

Such a CUTIE!!

Tanya: Oh, I feel lucky. I haven't been to your blog in a while and when I visited today here was one of my little men. I can't even choose a favorite because they all capture his personality. ok, well maybe that last one. He's just so happy.

Four times the Charm

May 6, 2008

This little munchkin Noah and I have started something. Something Great. Something I hope we are still talking about 25 years from now. I get to photograph him every year, watch him grow up in front of my lens. If I get my way, I will be photographing his wedding someday too.

Rebecca: I can't believe how much he's grown up! Thank you for capturing him year after year - what a priceless record of my little monkey. I'm so grateful for your willingness to photograph us and for your amazing talent. And yes!!! Same time same place next year for sure ... xoxo

Jessica: Awww these are so great. The train ones in the 3yr old photos are so perfect..lighting composition, just everything!

Tanya: I love them! I think the last one makes me smile the most - that mischievous look of his. Thank you, thank you.

Fancy Nancy

January 25, 2008

When I started out in the photography business (gasp!) 17 years ago the last thing in the world I was interested in photographing was children. Don’t get me wrong, I have always loved being around little ones. Kids and I are kindred spirits. We go way back. So everything else in the big wide world—I photographed. I made a living in the wedding business, studio work, fine art, modelling, you name it. Fast forward to the present and I am truly overjoyed to have spent the last several years of my time with kids and my camera. I do admit that I get a wee bit of rush of excitement once in awhile to be commissioned to photograph other subjects too. Enter Fancy Nancy. Enter…yummy sweet delicious artistic cakes. CAKES! I drool. Now, the beautiful photographs on her website are not a product of mine, but I did get to spend a morning with the creator Juliet Sear to shoot her cake creating process for an upcoming feature story in the magazine Black Meringue. Here are a few photographs from the last few steps. Get your fork!

The finished product:

Tres yummilicious vanilla marzipan brandy berry goodness:

Oh yes my friends, I had a sample of every cake that day. How could I refuse??

Indulge.
