Christmas Sessions

Love these precious babies!  How cute are they from head-to-toe?!?  Dayton Lane Photography offers indoor mini-sessions.  Thanks to cooperative weather, outdoor sessions are still available, too.

Best Face Photo of 2011

This week I'm entering an image contest at Iheartfaces.com. It's the first time I've participated on their site. I'm trying to do more things this year to grow my photography skills and comparing my images with others and learning from them is a great way to start. Wish me luck!

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. :)
