Bridal Session with My New Lens

So after getting my new lens I was super excited to take some bridal pictures.  Well, March is not a popular wedding month so I enlisted the help of my husband’s sister. She is beautiful and is in amazing shape thanks to her career as a massage therapist. We went to Mill Race Pond in...

Sue - Wow – nice photos. The “bride” does look grrrreat. The first is my fave. Sorta like she has a ‘secret’. LOL, …you sure have a way of ‘capturing moments’ ….even when they’re not real! …that’s just gotta be a good thing. More beautiful work by you, ..YOU GO! :)

My New Big Mamba Jamma

Woo Hoo! I got my new lens yesterday. I have added the Canon 70-200 2.8 IS USM Telephoto lens to my arsenal.  I think good tools are really important and I am super excited to have this lens.  However, I just want to say that yes good lenses, cameras, etc, help a photographer do their job better,...

Sue - WOW ..it looks serious. AND ..I want one..lol. I’d at least ‘look important’. How cool for you – your arsenal grows. Tools are ‘everything’ ..and you sure seem to be racking them up .. with amazing photos …to match. Can’t wait to see more of your work – with this lens on board! :) ))

Fabulous Finao

I have decided to add Finao Albums to my album selection.  I still offer Kiss albums and they are awesome quality, but I fell in love with the silk brocade covers offered by Finao. Finao also has leather covers that come in about 50 different colors and combinations. You can see more on my website. http://www.daniellemurphyphotography.com/showit/index.html#/album/...

Jen - I’m so jealous of the choices brides have these days ;-)

Jake and Joe

My sister’s little boy Jake has the bluest eyes. We had our bi monthly child photoshoot. That is a huge challenge with a 6 month old, a 2 year old, a 1 year old, and a 5 year old.  We were still able to get some good photos.

Sean - Wow, look at those eyes! Adorable photos, very sensitive!

March 24, 2009 - 4:34 am

Sue - Wow, ..how swwweeeet. What a beautiful thing it is that you do. Having little children is really hard work, (borderline insanity at times!) ..and you capture the beauty of why it’s soooo worth it. THAT…is big. What a great gift to give to “the moms”.

Nicole Haley - Look at those beautiful eyes! I love that second shot! Great stuff!
