Enjoy Evan (6 months)

In the midst of the marathon Christmas portrait week, sweet Evan celebrated an important milestone! He turned 6 months old. Thankfully, it was just before the cold snap we're experiencing, so some beautiful on-location portraits were in order.




We did stop for a few First Christmas captures.



Sweet big sister Chloe always comes along for Evan's sessions and she is so much fun to photograph.



Oh, I love this girl!



The online gallery has already been released to family and friends, but I couldn't let this important occasion pass without a blog post! Enjoy!

Christmas Portraits

Without revealing too much, here's a little peek at the Christmas backdrop for 2010 so clients who have scheduled appointments for next week will know how to dress.



Colors that would work well: red, burgundy, brown, gold, off-white, black, tan, khaki. I would recommend avoiding greens and blues (unless blue jeans).





Christmas Portraits are reserved for clients from November 2009-October 2010. If you were a client of Photography by DiAnna Paulk during that time period and did not receive your email with information, please let me know. No new clients are accepted during this special week.

Enjoy Hadley's First Christmas

You'd never know sweet little Hadley didn't feel well the day of her First Christmas portrait appointment. She was just a trooper. But these are probably the last images in which we will see gums ... she was teething!







I was so glad I got to get a few with her grandparents:







Their gallery is uploading now. But here's a sneak peek while they're waiting!

Enjoy Karlie's First Christmas

Sweet Karlie came for her first Christmas portrait session:







And brought along her sweet sister, Sophie










Sophie was willing to play with me a little while sister Karlie was getting dressed!



Their online gallery - which contains many more than these few sneak peeks - is uploading tonight.

Enjoy Siblings

A few fun captures between siblings at a recent family portrait sessions.





Beautiful Becca in her sparkling pink Santa hat ...


and Christmas socks and shoes.

Enjoy Christmas 4

Woo Hoo! Three portrait sessions uploaded tonight for some very special clients! Here's a sneak peek!

Enjoy Edward & Brooke

Edward was not in the best of moods, so mom said she'd be happy if I got 2 good ones out of the session. I think she'll be happy :) Here are a few of my favorites. There are more going into her Christmas gallery. And many thanks to Brooke for being such a good big sister and assistant!
