Beautiful People

It doesn't matter if the beauty is on the inside or the outside, we love the people who are part of our lives. Each gives us a gift just by being who they are. I hope that this video will give you a glimpse of some of the folks I have had the pleasure of photographing over the last three years. Enjoy and email if you have any questions.

Dragonflies Anyone?

Here is an Animoto Video from my day at High Point City Lake Park photographing dragonflies. Enjoy.

Portrait Study and Practice

 I hate that I missed getting to study under Mr. Ashley Fetner this year at Randolph Community College because he is retiring and I had to wait an extra year to come back. However, his encouragement allowed me to step out of my own comfort zone and take more than just nature and landscape pictures. I've started an exploration of portraiture. I'm starting with natural lighting and outdoor but will eventually start using studio lights. I am also enjoying using digital backgrounds to enhance and create fun memories for my clients. Here are a couple of examples of the natural or neutral background followed by the digital. It is a lot of fun.

It's a Party!

Let's get excited about summertime! The kids are going to be out of school. Moms and Dads are looking for something to do! How about hosting a Childrens Portrait Party. Mom or Dad can invite 5 other parents, each with one child and I'll bring the studio in a box, my camera and ME!  We take pictures of each child, no sitting fee for the first child, $9.95 sitting fee for each additional child. Each person attending will get proofs of their child's best pose and the host or hostess will get one 8 x 10 and two 5 x 7s of their child. Everyone will have the opportunity to purchase portrait packages for a reasonable price. I've set up a special email address just for the portrait parties, so email me at daylilydreamsphoto@gmail.com for questions and to book your portrait party today!

Make Mine Music

I had the pleasure of shooting a birthday party for a friend of a friend. I had several pictures that turned out pretty good but these are some of my favorites. The first is the birthday boy picking up a bow and trying it out on a Cello for the first time. It was a beautiful sight. The second is a picture of his grandmother walking out for a turn at the badminton game. Everyone had a lot of fun, including me.
