Tiny, precious, and pink!

I had the pleasure of getting a tiny little 3 week old in front of my camera! She has a head full of thick, beautiful hair, and once you see her mommy, you'll see just where little Miss M gets it from! It's such a blessing to be able to share in the thrill of a family with their first born baby. All of the kisses and tiny little touches spread the most contagious joy! Congratulations, Jen and Brian!

Happy Valentine's Day!

This Valentine's Day was a beautiful day, for so many reasons! The reason you are about to see is this adorable couple! We went out for a fun couples session and as a special Valentine's Day surprise, he presented her with a lovely, double heart promise ring! I was blessed to witness his eloquent presentation! I truly look forward to watching this relationship continue to blossom. Congratulations, Drew and Alina, I hope that you enjoy your little glimpse behind the glass!

Vegas!!!

Thought I'd pop in and post real quick as I sit here in the Blogger's Lounge! I am having an incredible time here in Vegas! Carole and I have seen so many talented and inspiring speakers. We also got to head out in the sun today and walk down the strip. Don't worry fellow New Yorkers, it's really not that much warmer here! The trade show has been incredible and I found some amazing new vendors and picked up some new equipment that I can't wait to add to my bag of tricks. I am refreshed and renewed and look forward to a new season of shooting!

And the winner is....

Yesterday was the last day in the Cutest Kid of 2009 contest and the race was intense! Little Blue-Eyed Blonde pulled ahead of Santa's Helper, and numbers climbed for some of the other contestants as well, but in the end, Santa's Helper pulled ahead and won. Thank you to all of the friends and family members that came to vote as well as my blog readers and all those folks out on the forums. I know a lot of readers of the different muscle car forums came on out to support Santa's Helper!

An FYI for those who know my work, Santa's Helper is probably best known as "The Baby on the Stairs". That shot was taken during his newborn session when he was just 5 days old! If you haven't seen it, or just want to see it again, head over to the main website and tiny Mr. J is in the slideshow on the main page. He is also featured in the First Glances gallery!

Congratulations Mr. J, I can't wait to see you again!

America's Next Top Model

This handsome guy may be familiar to my followers. You've seen him before in the photos of One Step Closer at Xtreme. Up until now my sessions with Pat have been full of music and bright, vibrant lighting. This past weekend I got to shoot Pat, unplugged so-to-speak! I was so excited when Pat approached me about being the photographer for his modeling portfolio. I got to spend a couple of hours with Pat, and his girlfriend came along too. We had so much fun! I could go on and on about them, but I'll refrain and get right to the glimpse behind the glass! More to come soon, Pat!

Cutest Kid of 2009

I thought I would kick of the year with a contest in anticipation of the gorgeous spring weather that will be coming soon! I asked folks to send in the most adorable shot of their little tikes and I got some great entries! The winner of the contest will receive a complimentary retainer fee, an 8x10 from their session and 10% off their order! The winner will be determined by the picture that receives the most votes.

So, here is what you do! Scroll down through the 11 posted entries and choose your favorite! Once you've decided, head up to the top of the blog and place your vote on the left! Voting is open until February 11th, 11:59PM! Good luck!

Just as a side note to all, these images were sent in by the parents and were not taken by D'LyndL Photography... that contest is coming in the very near future!
