Be My Valentine <3 | Las Vegas Baby Portraits | urban vision studios

Baby Valentine – Paizley 9 months.

What a precious sweetie pie. Paizley’s mama wanted to do photos to send out Valentine’s Day cards (in lieu of Christmas cards this year). We put together the CUTEST card- it was pretty easy, considering we had this adorable little one to work with. She was a SO good… especially considering we took these nakey shots in February. Only in Vegas, during a Winter like this is that even possible. So fun. Here are my favorites. <3

Stella <3 | Sacramento Children’s Portraits | urban vision studios

My adorable little angel of a cousin Stella- she’s just turned 2. It’s already been 2 years… wow.

Stella is such a fun baby! She led us on a fantastic tour of Old Town Sacramento, taking special care to make sure we played on every set of “steps!”. We were all exhausted by the end- in fact she crashed out on the car ride home. Stella’s such a good balance of adventurous, silly, sweet, girly and mischievous and I can’t get enough of her precious little face. It MELTS me! Here are my favorites from our session. (LOVE this first shot!)

Love #1! And all the attributes in your intro seem to be captured in the pix. :) . Very sweet, Dana.

Family | las vegas family | urban vision studios

What a gorgeous day for a family portrait session. It can’t REALLY be January- it felt like April. The Red Rock loop was sunny and there was just a tiny bit of a breeze. If the rest of the country isn’t jealous of the Vegas weather, they should be.

This family told me something that I always hope to hear from clients. “This is fun”. That’s AWESOME for me to hear… see I always have so much fun shooting the sessions, but I worry that it isn’t so fun for my clients. After all, portrait photography most likely isn’t their passion. When they said it was fun and that the time went by really fast, it brought me an ear to ear grin.

Here are my favorites from our session : )

What a beautiful family…Great shots as always Dana

Denise - January 4, 2012 - 7:34 pm

Judy E Thompson - January 3, 2012 - 9:10 pm

Beautiful family:) it does look like it was a beautiful, fun day!!

Baby Cole | las vegas newborn photographer | urban vision studios

This sweet baby boy is 9 days fresh. He is just the perfect addition to round out their little family of 4. Mama says now that they have a boy and a girl, the family is perfectly balanced and they are done. I can see why, with one just barely past her first birthday, and a newborn- whew, that’s enough for anyone to feel “fully blessed”.;)Both of their babies are just angel-faces… you’ll see. We had to sneak a few shots of the big sister in, too.

BEST of 2011! | urban vision studios image contest

Hey!

With the year ending, I was reflecting over the sessions I was able to shoot and really having a good time reminiscing. I decided to have a little image contest fun and to make it a giveaway. If you go to my urban vision studios Facebook page, you can see details on how to vote and help someone win! here’s the link http://www.facebook/urbanvisionstudios

The photos included have made my list of very favorites for one reason or another. They are not necessarily the clients’ favorites, nor are they necessarily the most technically sound images… they are there because there was something that drew me. It could be an expression, something about the lighting, or an emotion expressed. They are all chosen for different reasons.

I want to say thank you to all of my blog followers. Thank you for helping me grow this passion that I have for portrait photography.

Happy 2012.

<3
