Hopkins Family

March 13, 2012 By Dyan

Hopkins Family

Look at their gorgeous family!! Can you believe they are waiting for Baby #4 to arrive in May?

When Mrs. Hopkins contacted me about setting up a session I asked her some basic questions. And to my surprise, she had NEVER experienced a custom photography session. She always took her children the basic quickie studio around town or on base. (Not that there is anything wrong with that) She expressed to me how her children never looked like themselves. She even told me that once the guy holding the camera was yelling at her kids. “SMILE!” (said in a mean tone) and posing them in weird, uncomfortable ways. After the session she would buy a ton of prints and bring them home but never hang them. She was always disappointed.

Well, let me tell you Mrs. Hopkins has already purchased a BUNCH of special products and she is excited to hang them. She has already cleared lots of space on her walls and she knows exactly where she is going to hang everything!!

Thank you Hopkin’s Family! I had a lot of fun!!

These images below show you why custom photography ROCKS!

Can you see in the top image EVERYONE is smiling except for the beautiful little girl? Well, now look at the finished image on the bottom….

I had to cut her head (that sounds funny) from another image where she was happy. Let me tell you thats JCPenny and Walmart would NEVER be able to do that.

Piper Turns One!

March 13, 2012 By Dyan

For those of you who don’t know, I arrived in Sasebo, Japan in July 2010. That fall I started to photograph my first set of newborns in Japan. Piper was one of those beautiful babies that was born in the fall of 2010. I was so pleased to photograph her again at one year old!! While I was visiting in the states for the month of October, I was planning Piper’s special one year portrait session. When I was in a candy store in Michigan, I saw these HUGE bright and colorful lollipops. I just knew I had to get one for Piper’s one year session. I could just envision her gorgeous blue eyes peeking out above the sticky vibrant sucker. My vision totally came to life!

Then of course Mommy wanted pictures of Piper and Daddy all dressed up… God Bless our men in uniform!! (I want to recreate these images with my daughter and her Navy Daddy!)

I have know the Salivia Family for over a year now. We have spend time at playgroups, church and even took a trip to South Korea with the kids. I always enjoy spending time with Angela and the kids and I have secretly always wanted to photograph Annabella and her gorgeous brown eyes (well maybe it wasn’t a secret). I finally got my chance last week! Thank you so much Angela and Kermit for the wonderful family session!! And it was really nice to sneak off from the kids to get some special husband and wife portraits as well.

Getting It Together

March 13, 2012 By Dyan

So I have never fully used my blog to showcase my work. I LOVE Facebook and up until now, I have always used Facebook to show sneak peeks and advertise specials. I will still continue to use Facebook but I need to post my photographs on my blog to show the quality of each image.

So here is my first attempt.

I photographed this adorable little boy 2 months ago before I headed to the states to visit. He was so precious and I could not stop photographing him.
