I’ve been saving this shoot for Valentine’s Day. While all of my shoots are filled with love, there’s a quiet, sweet, palpable love in a newborn session that I just adore. If you’ve got a newborn session in your future, be sure to consider jumping in a few of those shots. Yes, the cuddly, sleepy newborn shots are amazing, but so are those that capture the pride and adoration in a new parent’s eyes. And don’t forget the nursery. So much time and love goes into preparing that beautiful room for your little babe. It’s a perfect setting to capture the love. This little one undoubtedly had a Valentine’s Day filled with love… hope you did too! xo

Sweet Love Indeed!

A special thank you to all who participated in the “Sweet Love” contest this year! Looking back on these beautiful moments spent with you, has had me smiling all week long. To say I’m excited for the year ahead is an understatement!

1st Place – Baby Danny

Danny’s Mommy contacted me when she was just a few months pregnant and as a result, I too anxiously awaited his arrival in the Fall. I couldn’t have asked for a sweeter little man to photograph at five days old! I love his little grin in this photo! Danny’s family will receive a 16×20 gallery wrapped canvas of this image and the opportunity to gift a session to a deserving family!

2nd Place – Baby Emily

Little Emily arrived just in time for Christmas… I can’t think of a greater gift! We worked so hard to get these sleepy shots! (Emily’s awake shots are also some of my most favorite images from last year.) She’s got quite a personality already! Emily’s family will receive a 16×16 print of this image!

3rd Place – Sophia, Evan & Henry

The quote I included at the start of this year’s “Sweet Love” contest was from Audrey Hepburn… ”The best thing to hold onto in life is each other”. I just adore how that applies not only to this image, but to the connection between these three little loves! Their family will receive an 8×10 print of this image!

Again, thank you, thank you for a truly wonderful 2013! I consider myself incredibly blessed to spend my days with you!

“The best thing to hold onto in life is each other”

-Audrey Hepburn

It’s that time again… time to celebrate all the “sweet love” that I was blessed to be a part of in 2013. There’s a different story to be told in every image, but a constant theme throughout – the phenomenal connections we have with those we love. Thank you, thank you for the opportunity to capture your beautiful moments. You all bring so much love and laughter into this world!

As many of you know, this is not only an opportunity to celebrate your sweet love, but it’s also a chance to pay it forward to a family you admire. The family whose Sweet Love photo receives the most “likes” on the Dani Dunn Facebook page will receive not only a 16×20 gallery wrapped canvas of that image, but the opportunity to select a deserving family for a complimentary photo shoot. So start thinking of a family that makes a difference in this world… whether it’s their optimism in the face of adversity, their sacrifices for our freedom or their commitment to making the world a better place. We all know someone that deserves a thank you.

So, let the fun begin! The Sweet Love album will be posted tomorrow, Tuesday, the 18th at 3pm, with the contest running until midnight on Friday the 21st. Please remind your friends and family to show their “love” by liking both the Dani Dunn page and their favorite photo (or photos). You are not limited to liking just one photo. That would be near impossible for some of you, this I know! Lastly, comments on the blog or the album will not count as votes, but they certainly are a welcome way to spread the love. Enjoy!

This newborn session was special for so many reasons… Of course, the first being that Tripp is my little nephew and I’m smitten with him. But it was also special, because I was able to collaborate with my sister-in-law and little brother to make it not only a celebration of Tripp, but of our families. We’re a sentimental crew with homes filled with treasures from those who have come before us. Everything used in Tripp’s shoot held special meaning for us…

Suitcase – Tripp’s Great-Grandfather, Dwight Dugger carried this suitcase during WWII.

White Blanket – Both Tripp’s Mama and his Aunt Paige were brought home from the hospital in this blanket. It was handmade by Tripp’s Great Grandmother, Juanita.

Blue Blanket – This blanket belonged to Tripp’s Daddy and was handmade by his cousin, Sandy Jo.

Wooden Swing – Tripp’s Pop Wilson made this swing, just after he was born. The wood came from a stair tread that was in his Great Great Grandfather Wilson’s homestead.

I couldn’t help but feel that we weren’t the only ones celebrating Tripp that day. He’s a special little guy, with so many people who love him!

“With grace surround us, With laughter bless us,

With abundance fill us, at this table of family and friends”

Wishing you all a very Happy Thanksgiving filled with the love of family and friends!

At a time when we’re reflecting on all that we’re grateful for, it seemed fitting to share my most recent newborn shoot. This precious baby boy is undoubtedly at the very top of his family’s gratitude list! Such a little blessing…

I love a newborn session – the gentle, calm, quiet of it all. That said, I also love when an older sibling turns the quiet on its head, with the rambunctious, curious, big love that accompanies an older brother or sister. My family will tell you that my memory is horrific, but I remember the day my little brother was born. The silly hat and covers on my shoes that I had to wear when I went in to meet him, the excitement of bringing him home and sitting on the couch propped with a pillow to hold him. I was proud – so proud, that I took him for show-and-tell in my second grade class. I know the feeling, and I love to see the same pride and affection in the little ones below.

Meet sweet, little Aiden. He’s getting ready for a special day this weekend – his baptism. It will undoubtedly be a beautiful day. I caught a glimpse into the love that surrounds him the morning of his photo shoot. Had I thought quickly enough I would have photographed that too – his Mommy and Daddy, not one, but two Aunts, his Godmother and his little cousin – all full of love for him. He’s a lucky little guy. Blessings to you, Aiden!
