Here is a little preview for the mom, dad and grandma of these sweet children. We had a fun session playing cars, trains, blocks, rolling on the bed, chasing kitties, singing songs and getting a few snuggles in too. Take a look at the little one, such a little poser. Thanks for having me over for a play, I can’t wait for you to see the rest of your gallery!

I have loved starting the new year off with so many brand new little lives. Last fall at Glee Kids Rebecca and I photographed Margaret, and now her baby brother James is here! He is such a patient, content, beautiful and strong(!!) little guy. Welcome to the world.

- She is one of the sweetest babies EVER. Loved your session guys.February 17, 2010 - 10:30 pm
- I love those close ups! What lens do you use to capture those?February 18, 2010 - 6:48 pm
I have always felt incredibly grateful to the clients and friends who have supported this little business of mine over the years and in return I absolutely love supporting other small businesses.
My friend Giselle recently opened a gorgeous, brand new dental practice in Raleigh and I can’t stop grinning when I think about what she’s been able to create. Giselle is a smart, meticulous, sweet, gentle and amazing woman who is realizing her dream of opening her own practice. And when she asked if we would like to display a few portraits in the lobby of her office I jumped up and down and yelled, “YES!” simply because I’m so excited to be a part of her new business, even if it’s in the smallest of ways.
Soooo, if you are in need of an excellent dentist located in North Raleigh … please visit Giselle at the Sloop Dentistry practice. And while you are there you can check out the gorgeous Darling Art portraits on the walls! 
Giselle, I’m so proud of you. You are truly amazing!

Dena has a thing about baby hair … she likes to let it grow and grow and grow and grow and grow. Her baby is nearing 3, and she asked me to photograph his long hair in preparation for his first haircut.
My first attempt was a bust – I really needed Dena there as an “assistant” to help occupy the little guy while I attempted the close ups. In the end, it took both of us shooting and a bowl of chocolate chips to record the last bit of “baby” Cameron. And I’m so glad we did … because after a weekend snow storm and a serious bout of cabin fever, this long hair is no more. I still can’t believe she did it.

Rebecca
- Oh my oh my oh my baby. These are so perfect. That's it. He's growing it out again. I still can't believe I did it either. Although I have a sneaking suspicion that if I didn't, you or Dan would have brought out the scissors soon...February 1, 2010 - 8:41 pm
- Oh my...These are so beautiful..And Cameron, simply gorgeous! When do we ge to see the "after hairct" pictures??February 5, 2010 - 8:07 am
- Your blog is adorable! LOVE your work!February 5, 2010 - 9:31 pm
- Gorgeous! I love them all - they capture exactly what Dena wanted so perfectly!February 8, 2010 - 11:26 am
- great shots! ann www.annbeckphotography.com/blogFebruary 25, 2010 - 11:13 pm
This wonderful, darling, sleepy, snuggly and curious brand new baby boy is being welcomed into a very kind and loving home. I love witnessing the awe and love and commitment as new parents take a fragile little being into their hands and begin a life together as a family. sigh. The hardest part of my job is sometimes leaving the magic of those moments behind to go back to my own routine. I never leave unaffected and untouched. Thank you to the 100s of families who share this sacred part of their lives with me.
repeat after me: “I will not get baby fever, I will NOT get baby fever…I will not…”
xoxo

- Ummmm ... I'm pretty sure we both have baby fever after this session. He's absolutely perfect and this shot is gorgeous. You go girl!January 28, 2010 - 6:37 pm
- you both were perfectly professional. we have been sharing this sneak peek with every friend and family member we can think of. what a shot! There is a good friend of ours who wants to conceive, but doctors told her she was menopausal. She attended Rowan's bris this morning and handed him, with her husband, from Rowan's mother to the sandek. She is on the phone with Mary now. She just got her period. Rowan's first mitzvah.January 29, 2010 - 9:15 pm
About a year ago I posted some detail shots of my new baby monkey (the original shots are here). Well, my new baby isn’t so new anymore! He turned one last month (sob!) and I figured it was time for a new round of close-ups. It’s amazing how quickly we forget all those chubby little baby fingers and toes, isn’t it? I’m so grateful my light-sleeper napped just long enough for me to capture these:
Of course I can’t show all those little baby parts without showing the “whole”. Here he is, just before he startled and woke up (I wasn’t anywhere near finished photographing him, darn it!):
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!
xoxo,
Rebecca

I know we’re a little late saying it, but happy 2010! We are officially back in the office after a nice long holiday break and are excited about the coming year. We are bringing in new collections, offering framing (yay!), and are planning to launch an incredible new project. Most importantly, we are feeling rejuvenated and inspired and can’t wait to share our art with you over the coming months.
Here’s to hoping 2010 continues as well as it started!
xoxo,
Rebecca and Dena
- Too cute! Love the sudsy toes!January 15, 2010 - 8:27 am

Think we’re maybe just a little bit excited around here?
A quick note to say that we’re closing shop for the holidays. Emails and phone calls will be returned after the New Year. Sessions resume January 11th.
Thank you again to all our wonderful clients for making 2009 so great here at Darling Art.
Hugs to all and a very Merry Christmas!
xoxo,
Dena and Rebecca
- Have a wonderful and restorative holiday!December 19, 2009 - 12:58 pm
No problem, because we’re booking for 2010!
Here’s how our “Winter Special” sessions during January, February and March 2010 will work:
- Book along with a friend and you can split the session fee between the two of you – a savings of $125 for each of you! (sessions will take place separately)

Happy Holidays!
Rebecca and Dena
- Such a great opportunity! One advantage of doing it early in the year is that there is no pressure of the Holiday rush - you and your child can be much more relaxed for the session, and you know that even if you personally don't get any good candid shots yourself the rest of the year, you have that age covered with Darling Art!December 15, 2009 - 8:38 am
