Can't Help But Smile At This Cutie

This cutie is Lathan. His grandmother brought him in back right around Christmas, told you I was a bit behind on blogging about some sessions, for his first Christmas portraits. He is definitely a sweetie. Loves his trains just like his daddy.

We had a great time during his session. He was so cute in his Christmas outfit and we even managed to find some snow laying around the studio for him to play in. I sure hope he got the chance to get out in the little bit of the real stuff we have had. And if we all cross our fingers, maybe Lathan will have a chance to help make his first snowman either tomorrow or this weekend. Grandmother will have to send me some pictures of him out in the snow.

Don’t forget this is only day 3 of the “14 Days of Love.” Be sure to post your Valentine story on the post below. Cindy and Leonard, enjoy your date out without the kids this weekend. Remember everyone that posts their story will receive a $25 gift card to use at their next session. Also, be sure and become a fan of DCP on facebook to receive the special fan updates and to be entered into the DCP Fan drawing at the end of the month for a beautiful Portrait Art Glass.

Be my Valentine…

Here is the first of the “14 Days of Love” blog posts and it is all about you. Actually it about you, by you.

What I want you to do is share how you and your sweetie celebrated your Valentine’s Day. Just click on the comment link below and type in your storybook story. And for taking the time for sharing your story, you will receive a $25 gift card to use at your next session. That is right; everyone that shares their story here on the blog will receive a $25 gift card.

I’ll start. It is a good thing that I am not eligible to win, because I am sure everyone had a much more romantic day than I did.

After Dwayne and I both finished working for most of the day, we just spent the afternoon celebrating Valentine’s Day with Sarah out by the fire watching the sunset and then staring at the stars in the sky. I know it was not the most romantic date, but with the schedule I have had lately – it was perfect.

Now what is your story? Remember just click on the comment link below and type in your story on how you celebrated the day of love. I look forward to reading your stories.

14 Days of Love

Okay so what is the deal with the “14 Days of Love”?

We all know the song “12 Days of Christmas.” You know the song, so sing it with me “on the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me…” This famous song is just like most things dealing with a holiday; lots hype counting down to the holiday and then when the holiday gets here it is like someone flips a switch and it is all over but cleaning up the mess. I have never liked that.

Yesterday was Valentine’s Day; the day of love. So how about letting the love flow? That is just what we are going to do for the next 14 days. Why 14? Valentine’s Day is on the 14th and there are 14 days left in this month, plus it just sounded good.

For the rest of the month, I will be posting a new blog post each day. Some will be about interesting stuff and some helpful tips I have found and want to share. Plus there will be some posts on some recent sessions I have not had a chance to share with you, some updates on what is going on and coming up with the studio and some things that I am working on that I am really excited about. And there will be some special offers just for those that are reading the blog each day. I am even going to ask for your help with some of this. I think this is going to be a lot of fun. Join me; want you?

Now let’s get started letting the love flow….

My Little Girl

I really enjoy creating beautiful images for all of you, but once in a while I get to create one for me. The other day my little girl, yes I know she is not that little any more, allowed me a few minutes to do some images of her. This is one that we did. I just love it. It is after all, my little girl.
