The Davis Family

Family Feet

It's moments like these that I love to capture for people. Baby M's hands won't stay little forever, but atleast mom and dad will have pictures to remember how little they once were.

Sometimes the best pictures aren't made up of smiles and giggles.

A sweet moment between daddy and baby M.

Photo Books

Fall and Christmas were very busy for me as you can tell from my lack of entries. I had lots of great shoots and other projects such as making books for clients. A great way to perserve your photos is by having books made of them. Think about where all your pictures are. Maybe they're in scrapbooks, photo albums, a drawer, envelopes or boxes. My parents have a box FULL of pictures from my and my 2 brothers' childhood.
I would love to help you perserve your memories in a safe, organized and creative way. They can be on a disk or I can scan your pictures. This way you can also have a CD of those pictures. The prices vary so contact me if you're interested. I can also make books of shoots, so don't forget about that!

Winter Promotion!

I am excited to announce that during the months of January, February and March, photoshoots for infants ages 2 weeks to one year will be 25% off the original sitting fee! So if you have a newborn or intend to get pictures of your little cutie before he or she turns 1, now's the time!

Be sure to check back for Easter picture promotions!!!

The Gift of A Memory

I had the honor of taking the Special Ed. senoir pictures last year for the high school at which my husband teaches. Some of the kids looked normal, but a few others were profoundly retarded. That was the most touching shoot I've ever had. I remember tearing up as I watched the parents doting over their grown child. I was so blessed that day. What I didn't realize is how blessed the parents were. I gave them the opportunity to experience a dream they had for their child. They wanted the same opportunity for their child that the "normal" kids were getting at that time in their lives. I realize now that I gave them more than a sense of normalcy, I gave them a memory. You see, 2 of the boys whose pictures I took died recently and the family's used their child's graduation picture on the front of the program for the funeral ceremonies. I'm so touched that I could provide them with a special way to honor their child's memory forever.

Family Fun

I had the pleasure of taking pictures of this sweet family this past weekend and had a wonderful time. I never know what to expect when working with kids, but I know that and I enjoy the challenge. Thank you K. and L. for giving me the opportunity to work with your family.

No posing was necessary for this precious shot. I love the look of sheer

glee as C.'s 13 year old brother swung her around on his back.

This shot wasn't planned. It just happened and I love that!

The innocence and pure joy of a four year old.

Homecoming

The "glow" application added just the right touch to this

already beautiful picture.

I love that I was able to capture them just being

boys.

The river was the perfect background!

I used my flash, but turned it to where it would

bounce of the ceiling. This created a fill effect and

brought just the right amount of light in the right

places.

This was a very fun and photogenic couple.

When D. crossed his arms, I didn't correct it, but

used it to my advantage and had L. put her hand on

his arm. A good pose for friends!

I had so much fun with this shoot. These teens were off to their schools' homecoming and I was able to be apart of their excitement. Each couple was different and I enjoyed finding those differences and using them to my, and their, advantage. Thanks, C., for asking me to do this for them!

The flash can be your friend

My husband's friend and his wife were expecting with their first child, so I wanted to treat them to a shoot to help them remember this precious time. She and I met up at a local park and took some pictures. We then went back to her house where I took some great shots of her and the dad-to-be. I hate to admit that I had trouble with the lighting. That's something I'm still working on. I've been anti-flash for a long time and this time I missed out on some great shots because of it. My husband found a flash on sale and bought it for me. It's adjustable and I really like it. Just wish I would have used it! Thanks J. and A. for allowing me to capture these memories for you.



I love this! The flash would have come in handy here.
Instead of pointing it at their faces, I could have pointed it
upward and let it bounce off the ceiling. My shutter speed
was too low for the lighting. The flash would have illiminated
the blur on her face.

This shot is one of my favorites!

I used an inexpensive black sheet as a background and placed

them beside a window.
