Brooke :: Dallas Child Photographer

This shoot came up at the last minute, and I’m so glad it did! Brooke is such a cutie – sweet, talkative, and SO expressive! What fun it was to capture some of her sweet looks!

Giving is Awesome

(This post is a “sticky post” that stays on the top of the blog – scroll down for more new posts!)

You know someone. You know someone who’s experienced a tragedy, is struggling to stay afloat, is raising kids while holding down more than one job, or is volunteering selflessly despite extenuating personal circumstances. You know someone who can’t afford custom photography, but who would cherish it this holiday season. You know someone who deserves a year-round reminder of their family’s spirit, love, and beauty.

You know someone. I guarantee it.

I want to know who they are, and I want to give them the chance to experience complimentary custom photography — $1000 worth*, to be exact. It’s in your power to give them the artwork they deserve this holiday season.

Oh, and the best part? The person who nominates the winner receives a $250 print credit. What better reason to show some love could there possibly be, people?

The rules:

* You cannot nominate yourself, and the person nominated must sincerely be incapable of purchasing my services. (Being unable to make mortgage payments for a two-million-dollar-vacation-home in Paris does not qualify as sincere financial need.)

* The nominee must reside in Texas. Tell me who you know, what they’re experiencing, and why they deserve my artwork. Please include a way to contact both your nominee and yourself as well.

* You must e-mail me the full story : deena@deenariley.com

The winner will be announced on Christmas Eve, but nominations are due by December 20 — get nominating! I can’t wait to read all of your entries!

Open your heart to someone this holiday season — and thanks for giving me the opportunity to open mine.

With love,

Deena

*Winner’s package includes session fee, one of our new spiffy session boxes with (30) 5×7 prints, and $125 in print credit!

Adorable! :: Dallas Baby Photographer

I was so excited when Molly e-mailed and wanted to add on a session to Nayan’s Baby’s First Year plan. They are such a cute family, and I always love photographing little ones! We were working towards Christmas card images and I think we got a bunch of keepers! I couldn’t believe how much bigger Nayan had gotten since August. Babies always stay at the age that I last photographed them in my mind – it always blows my mind to see them bigger and cuter (if that’s possible!)!

Mr. Nayan, being his adorable self:

Molly found an adorable hat on Etsy for Nayan:

Of course, we got some great images of the family together as well!

Sweet Sisters :: Dallas Children’s Photographer

I got to spend some more time with Lanie and Katie yesterday – our time was cut short by a sprinkler attack a couple of weeks ago (ack!). They’re so sweet with each other!
