ADORABLE.BABY.BUNNIES!!!

How would YOU love to have your cute kiddos photographed with these ADORABLE.BABY.BUNNIES?! 

I know this is really short notice, BUT, this is an opportunity I could not pass up! This sweet, sweet family has offered to bring their bunnies, baby bunnies and BRAND NEW NEWBORN BABY BUNNIES (Just born 2 weeks ago!) over for truly special, one-of-a-kind shoot! So I'm thinking:

Mini-Session Bunny Bonanza!

If you would like to bring your kiddos (or your whole family!) to my house in West Cobb  this Sunday, April 29th from 2-5pm 
and have your portraits made with these adorable bunnies, let me know!  (You can email me, Facebook me, call/text me, message me, whatever! Just let me know ASAP!!)  If we don't have enough interest we will have to postpone, but will try another time. However, the newborn bunnies grow fast, so they won't be as tiny and cuddly! The bunnies pictured above were about 8 weeks old. Their 6 little brothers and sisters were born just days before this pic was taken, and have just recently opened their eyes!

You know you want to come play with them!! 

So why not let us capture that precious fun with some timeless portraits?!

We will schedule each family in 20 minute sessions, starting at 2:00 and the last session being at 4:40. Then, you will arrive dressed & ready to play with these adorable baby bunnies while we will take as many pictures as we can in those 20 minutes! You will get a CD with all images captured, which is sure to result in at least 20 super fun candid images, and/or 5-10 truly magical, once-in-a-raretime portraits of your kids and/or family.  ALL this for Just $50! (Mini Sessions are normally $75, so this is a deal!! PLUS you get to PLAY WITH BABY BUNNIES!!!)

Wanna see how much cuuuuuuter your cute kids will look playing with these adorable bunnies? Check these out:

She's looking for the 3rd bunny!

This is one of my favorites. She looks like she is in HEAVEN!!

So HAPPY!!

Now those kiddos were pretty cute all by themselves, but then, add the bunnies and you've got CUTENESS OVERLOAD!!!!  OH MY GOODNESS!!!! I could just scoop them up and squeeze them all!!

Can you IMAGINE your kids with these bunnies? Not to mention their 6 newborn bunny brothers and sisters? 
OH I CANNOT WAIT!!!!

Be sure to call/email/facebook/text/message me ASAP and let me know which time slot you'd like!! (You'll get address with confirmation of your booked appointment). Look forward to hearing from you!!

Playing at DECS Childcare | Acworth Preschool Portrait Photography

OK... Now that it's finished, I have to admit, I was sooooo nervous about this "Session"!

Shhh... honestly, I get nervous before every session!

(Yes, even awesome repeat clients like Miss C - 

whose 6 Month portraits you will get a sneak peek at in a few days, by the way!) 

But this was no ordinary session... I had committed to photograph over 50 kids in 1 day! Was I CraZy?? I was the sick-to-my-stomach, couldn't-eat-dinner-or-breakfast, almost literally shaking all over kind of nervous!! I had no idea how we were going to pull this off, but their amazing Super-Director (& my sweet friend), Julie Reynolds, kept assuring me it would work out fine.  And then, my incredible sister, Alex Knight offered to come long to help! Suddenly, I thought, maybe we CAN do this!!

Guess what?...

It was soooooooo much FUN!!!

I could not believe how well it went! Julie had each kid & class scheduled, and Alex was there to think (and almost breathe!) for me! So I just got to play with some really Cool Kids & go crazy shooting! IT WAS AWESOME!!!

We took a group of about 4-5 kids and brought them out to the front of the school where we had a bench set up with Spring flowers and took some shots there while we told jokes and talked about the kids' favorite toys, movies, or shows. Then we photographed them in front of the columns, (or trees later on - the sun got too bright in front of the school!) THEN, we went to the playground!! And I just followed them with my camera as they'd yell "Look at me!" and "Take a picture of me!!"

Overall, it was such a great experience! And I learned so much from this as my first "school portraits" shoot. As nervous as I was, I'm glad I went through with it. It was the best-learn-as-you go experience ever. My wonderful photography mentor & friend Joy Wilson told me that the best way to learn photography was just to shoot, shoot, shoot, as much as you can. That's why I accepted the job. Never learn if you never try, right? Yep, Joy was right, again! (as with everything she's taught me about photography ;) Did I make some mistakes? Yep. And those families are being compensated. But did I get it right, some, too? I think so. This adorable family was happy with their proofs.... take a look:

So I guess the moral of this story is to Go For It! Whatever your dream, aspiration or goals, just GO FOR IT! You'll never succeed f you never try. And failing is part of the learning process. (I'm toying with the idea of posting some of my "fails". Because I learn SO much more from those than I do the "right" ones. Let me know what you think...) But if I had let fear hold me back (because when she first asked me, I really did tell her "I have to think about it!" and I almost told her I just could not do it.)  But then I would have missed out on meeting these 3  A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E   BOYS! and all the rest of the precious kids at DECS Childcare!!!  And I would still be without all the amazing stuff I learned while on the shoot that no text book or lecture could ever have taught me. I'm grateful my husband encouraged me to do it, and I'm grateful for Julie taking a chance on me and allowing me to do it. 

Hope you enjoyed this little peek into our Picture Day! There may be more to come... (depending on parents' ok)  Till then...

GO CHASE YOUR DREAMS.... and remember to FOCUS ON MOMENTS during the ride!

Season of Fun, Busy & New Happenings!

What a busy season we're in! My baby girl turned 4, my youngest is about to turn the big ONE! Plus we recently moved... and my new house has a WONDERFUL room I can turn unto a studio! Can't wait!

AND... coming up in a couple weeks, Dulce Light Photography gets to experience TWO new firsts!!!

1. We have the opportunity to photograph TRIPLETS!! Three tiny, brand new baby girls!!! Oh the sweet cuddliness, It's going to be wonderful! They are in the NICU right now, so if you will, say a little prayer for them that they get to come home soon and they will all be healthy and thriving!
   
2. We have the honor of photographing precious daycare children for their seasonal school & class portraits! I am very excited, as this will be a great experience and great exposure for Dulce Light Photography! I am busy creating their fliers, order forms and brainstorming poses for them. If you are a parent of one of these sweet children checking out our website for the first time, WELCOME! You will see detailed information about your pricing by clicking the School Portraits link above.  Let me know if you have any other questions or comments about your child's upcoming picture day =)  

I also have a few ideas in the works for the blog... I am thinking of doing a "learning photography" and "editing photos" series, since I have learned soooo much, partly due to other photog friends' generosity and I have been getting a lot of requests from other budding photographers for help. I figure typing it all out and providing picture examples will help me solidify my knowledge and help "pay it forward" to those of you who desire to learn more! If there is something specific you are struggling with, let me know! I will make sure to address those questions first!

Thank you all for your love & support!!!  I am only here because of you!!

Colorful Fall Family Portraits | Kennesaw Family Portraits

This one has been burning a hole in my computer trying to get out!  I shot these in early November, but was asked not to post them because they would be family Christmas gifts! What an honor! Really, I was thrilled for the chance to be the one taking these pics, but Oh-My-Goodness... I about couldn't stand the wait to share them with you!!! This girl was the most fun E-V-E-R!!! I literally, could not stop shooting!!! I think I took like over 2000 pics of this adorable girl! Of course, every 5-10 looked almost exactly the same, so I'll spare you the hours of looking through them all (Though you'd love every minute of it... this girl will do that to you!) and only post my favorites. The rest, of course, will be on my Facebook page soon: Facebook.com/dulcelightphotography.  Yay!!! here we go!!   Let me know if you love them as much as I do!! She was SO FUN!!!!

Don't you just want to scoop her up and smother her with kisses? Thank you T family for letting me photograph your beautiful family!!! And THANK YOU Miss H for reminding me why I love my job :)  I sure hope I get to follow you around with a camera again soon!!!!

A Christmas Treat!

Goodness... Christmastime sure gets busy!!!  And I am so very grateful for the honor of being busy shooting your precious family Christmas portraits!!!  Most of them have been a surprise for family presents, though, so I cannot post them until after Christmas, but I have a treat!  Today I DO get to post one of those precious family's Christmas sessions!!!!   And how adorable are these kids?!   They had so much energy, like they couldn't wait for Christmas to come! Who can blame them? Neither can I!  And we had such a F-U-N session!! I hope you can tell by these pics!!...

  








      I  was really so thrilled when sweet Miss B's mom called me to take their Christmas portraits!  Remember... she was the cutie who celebrated her 1st birthday not too long ago! Only this time I got to take photos of her with her oh-so-cute big brother Mr. P!  Doesn't he have the best smile?!   Seriously, I LOVE my job!!! Thank you all for allowing me to photograph your beautiful families!  Oh, and...

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!...   

In case I don't get around to posting again before then!  Hope you have a wonderful & blessed Christmas day with your loved ones!!!
