Fall & holiday specials are here!

It's not quite the most wonderful time of the year, but it's certainly time to start thinking about it! Custom holiday cards are very popular, and Dayton Lane Photography has several options from which to choose.

We are also doing outdoor fall portraits this season. Hay, pumpkins, and fall decorations will set the stage for your portraits.

I'm including our specials that run now through the holidays. They include discounts on fall sittings, Santa's visit, holiday cards, and framing! Book your session today at portraits@daytonlane.com or by visiting our calendar at www.daytonlane.com.

Playing catch up!

It's been a while since I last posted, and it's too late tonight for anything other than a quick note. I'm making several updates to my site and my social media profiles. I also have some fall/holiday specials that I'll be posting soon. Be sure to visit www.daytonlane.com for details!

Precious little fingers and toes

I am more than happy with my three precious children, yet I have to say, I still love seeing the precious little fingers and toes of a newborn baby! Every Sunday when I go to our church nursery with our youngest, I wish I could just be shooting away, capturing the beauty of each child in their Sunday best. They're truly "picture perfect!" And, I know I'm looking at God's hand at work...the blessed innocence of a child is amazing.

It was so much fun a couple of weeks ago when I took these newborn pictures, and it was just as much fun putting this storyboard together. What a fantastic way to capture the moments that we so soon forget. I'm looking forward to doing more of these in the coming weeks. To schedule a newborn session, visit www.daytonlane.com.

My phenomenal husband Nate and I are on our way to Kansas for a friend's wedding. She worked for me last year and is the most amazing, well-grounded, hard-working young lady I've ever known. Although she moved back to Kansas to be near family, she's still very special to me, and I'm excited to share in her excitement as she enters this lifelong journey with her soulmate. As a mother, I can only hope that my children will grow up to be as good of people as she. Kudos to her parents, and best wishes to the happy couple! Hmmm...I wonder what pictures I'll add next time. :)
