Chapel Hill Newborn Baby Child Photographer - Darling Art Photography Blog by Rebecca Mudrick http://darling-art.com/blog Darling Art Photography Blog Mon, 08 Mar 2010 19:20:52 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 en hourly 1 Little children-Big personalities! http://darling-art.com/blog/?p=962 http://darling-art.com/blog/?p=962#comments Mon, 08 Mar 2010 19:12:40 +0000 admin http://darling-art.com/blog/?p=962 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!

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!

xoxo,

Rebecca

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.

repeat after me: “I will not get baby fever, I will NOT get baby fever…I will not…”

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!

Here’s to hoping 2010 continues as well as it started!
