I’ve had sessions to share and not enough hours in the day lately.  This little man and I have been hanging out on and off for a while now, and I’m having such a fun time capturing his first year!  He’s getting around now, and I bet he’ll be walking next time I see him.

Today is the first day of Spring, and I’m so excited!  I even saw blooms on some trees this morning as I delivered some prints to a client!  My calendar is starting to fill up for April and May, so call or email soon if you want to book a Spring session!

Hello, folks. I’m mourning the apparent death of my MacBook {sniff, sniff}. Should you need to reach me, please give me a good, old-fashioned phone call until I have everything back up and running. Thank you.

what a way to ring in the new year!

January 7, 2010 – 4:21 pm

I had my first session of 2010 on Tuesday, and look what I got to smooch on! . . .

Those sweet little toes belong to this precious little boy.

I love these next two of him with his mom & dad.  They love him so much, and it’s evident even by the way they look at him.  See . . .

This is Little Bit, and she must have sensed that I love cats because she came out of hiding to participate in the shoot.  I must say that she’s a very good subject, too!

Ian_blog7I really had a great time with this family.  I always consider it an honor to be invited into a complete stranger’s home to photograph their family.  It’s a privilege I don’t take lightly, and I love walking out the door feeling as if I’ve just made new friends.  There are so many great images from this session, but I thought I’d share these as a little sneak peek for mom & dad while they’re waiting for the gallery.

I’ve been a little MIA from the blog lately because I’ve been working on our adoption blog.  If you haven’t seen it yet, you can check it out at www.dunlapadoption.com. I’ve been working on updating my website a little bit, too, and I’ll be finishing it up in the next few days. All the Capture Photography proceeds from 2010 are going directly toward bringing our little boy home from Ethiopia, so please tell your friends & family about this opportunity to help! Also, check back here in the next day or two for an announcement on a new product.

Thanks again to this sweet family for giving me the opportunity to photograph your sweet boy. I think I’m in love!

Merry Christmas!

December 28, 2009 – 6:22 pm

Merry Christmas & Happy 2010 from the Dunlaps & Capture Photography!  We have an important announcement to make . . . we’re ADOPTING a little boy from Ethiopia!  If you want to find out more and follow us on our journey to bring him home, visit our adoption blog.

I’ve been itching to get our cards out this year, but we had to wait until we announced our adoption in person to our closest friends and family.

We hope you all are continuing to enjoy the holiday season!  Capture Photography will be back in full swing January 5, 2010.  I’ll be making some announcements regarding how YOU can help bring our little boy home at the first of the year, too, so check back soon!

I generally like a clean, crisp, bright look to my images.  When I saw these, however, they seemed to have a vintage feel so I added some texture to the background.  I like how they turned out and might start applying this technique to a few images in each gallery.  If you book a session and like this look, but sure to let me know!

This is a great project to be a part of!  For more information, go to the Help-Portrait website.  Jeremy Cowart is an AMAZING photographer, and he apparently has an amazing heart to match his talent. I’m planning to get on board here in Nashville. If you’re in the area, be sure to join the Nashville group to keep up with the latest news.

Memphis Sessions: Take Two

September 18, 2009 – 6:23 pm

I’m supposed to be in Memphis right now, but I had to reschedule due to ALL the rain we’ve been getting in Tennessee over the past few days.  Instead I’ll be heading that way next month.  Looking on the bright side, the leaves at Rhodes should be gorgeous the weekend I’m there.  I’ve done lots of fall sessions there over the years, and the leaves are BIG and bright yellow in October.  I’m keeping my fingers crossed that the weather will cooperate for the new dates!

Fortunately the new dates work for all but one of my previously scheduled clients; however, I’m planning to extend my stay a little bit, so I have room for a couple more sessions.  Shoot me an email (via the “contact” link above) if you’re interested in grabbing one of those.  I hope you all have a nice weekend, and try to stay dry!

Please email me (using the “contact” link above) for instructions on submitting your deposit.  This is a great way to get ahead on your holiday shopping!  These prints will be perfect gifts for friends and family (especially grandparents)!  I’ll be contacting those who submit their deposit to discuss further details and set up appointment times.  Please email me if you have any questions.  I can’t wait to see all my little Memphis friends (and the “big” ones, too)!

***attention memphis friends & clients***

August 6, 2009 – 6:11 pm

I’ve had several people ask recently if I have any plans to come to Memphis to do photo sessions in the near future.  I’ve been busy building my clientele here in Nashville, but I’m not opposed to coming back to my old “stomping ground” to work a little, too!  If you would be interested in a Memphis session, please email me using the contact link above or leave a comment below and let me know.  If I get at least 8 responses, I’ll set a date to come over.

Here’s what I’m tentatively thinking:

  • one weekend (probably mid-to-late September) / I would most likely schedule sessions for Friday afternoon, Saturday morning & Saturday afternoon.
  • “mini-sessions” where I’m at a set location and you come to me
  • There would be some sort of special offer where $100 gets you the session and some print credit or discounted holiday cards or something like that.  If I get enough response, I’ll put together some options for people to choose from.

If you’re interested, let me know!  Thanks!
