Wow, I’m so excited! A lot of work and long hours have finally come together to launch the new look for Piper Dellan Photography. I may find myself stalking my own site, just because I’m so jolly that its complete! (Okay, that may be a little bit geeky, but, well, I just don’t care! I told you I was excited.)
Along with the great new look have come a few much needed changes. First, if you are a subscriber to the old Piper Dellan Photography Blog (what you are now looking at), I recommend you go to www.piperdellanphotography.com/blog, scroll to the bottom of the page and update your subscription so you won’t be missing out on any new updates as I will no longer be adding posts to this blog. I did take the time to cart over all the posts located here and moved them over to the new blog. So, you will still be able to access all of that information on the new blog.
Another change is that all client forms and guides will now be able to be viewed online at www.piperdellanphotography.com. I believe this new set up will prove to be convenient for you (the client) and for me. All of these forms can be found by clicking the Welcome tab in the website. I have chosen to password protect these guides and each new client will be given the password to access all of this helpful information.
The biggest change you may notice is in the Investment section of the website. I have spent many hours developing a pricing plan that I feel confident in. Providing my clients with exceptional portraits, products and service has always been my top priority. I have found that in order to continue providing you these things I needed to make some adjustments. Sacrificing quality was never an option, so instead prices needed to be adjusted. I hope you will understand and appreciate the changes that were made. I look forward to continuing relationships with past clients and am equally excited to work with new ones!
When I say I have the greatest clients, it isn’t just for the sake of flattery. I REALLY do have the greatest clients. I count working with each of you and your children, a blessing.

A senior session at the park yesterday with a lovely young lady. Wow are the leaves changing, and falling fast. In certain areas the leaves were now completely coating the ground in a blanket of gold, yet you could move a little further on into open field and the grass was as lush as the day after a spring rain. It's really a marvelous time of year to get out and enjoy nature, at least before the cold sets in.
Enjoy!
This young lady was also in need of some images taken with a piano. What I love most about taking portraits of seniors at the piano is being able to enjoy hearing them play. I've gotten to witness some amazing talent and she is no exception.

the signs of the season.....
We went up to a local park for this seniors session and were not disappointed. The colors were gorgeous and the weather was beautiful. We weren't the only ones taking advantage of the awesome colors and comfortable warmth. The park was totally hopping with families out for a last picnic or stroll before the temperature drops and photographers, both hobbyist and professional, were everywhere. At one location we had to wait in line for our turn (It was worth the wait!).
Crazy!
Here ya go......

I can't seem to get enough of these fab 2009 seniors. They're gorgeous and better yet, they do just what I ask!
Today brought another such session and along with it, the rain. We weren't to be deterred though. He rushed to get ready and came about 4 hours early in hopes of beating the rain. All was well and the drops started falling as we got our last shots!
Enjoy....

Happy Birthday, Baby! the sequel
Another day, and another birthday. Hardly do we absorb that our William is a year older and here we are yet again......
Our first princess is 8 today. All of our children are so special to us and we treasure each of them for many reasons, some that vary.
There was a time 8 years ago, when life and the future for Kiera was uncertain. Those of you who are close to our family may remember that time. For those of you that are reading this without knowledge of that time, I won't rehash all of the events, but to say that Kiera was born with an undiagnosed digestional birth defect that nearly took her life shortly after it had just begun. Three years later we relived some of the same events, only then she had the misfortune to be aged enough to realize her predicament. God is always good though, and at times that could have been our lowest points, He lifted us up, held us close and protected our family. Which brings us to today, celebrating our sweet little girl (healthy in every way), thankful for every day we share with her and the endless joy she brings to our lives.

Happy Birthday, Baby!
6 years ago today was a big day for us. It brought the arrival of our son, William John. Although he came with a surprise nearly a month before his due date, he came to us perfectly healthy, hearty and handsome.
Wow, I can hardly remember 6 years back.
Sometimes it seems as though time stands still and the future will never come soon enough-
and then there are children-and you'd hold time still if you could, just to hold them a little bit closer, a little bit tighter, and a little bit longer.
But that's not how it goes and before you have a chance to really let it sink in, they've grown wings....
Here's our birthday guy today, cute as ever and patiently awaiting his birthday celebration this evening. I asked him if he felt any different today. He said, "Nah."

Arms Wide Open
I just finished editing a recent senior session. You'll remember him as the handsome musician in the theatre lobby.
I took this shot during the session not entirely sure what I had in mind for it, but inspiration found me and I love the outcome.
Once the piece was finished "Arms Wide Open" was the first title that came to mind, but I'm not sure I find it as inspiring as the image. If you have a suggestion for a title, leave me a comment and let's hear it! I'd love to know what thoughts this image evokes.
Have an awesome day, and all you locals enjoy this crisp autumn weather!

Well, ready or not, fall is here. :) I was made most aware of this yesterday evening as I headed down to the lake for a family portrait session. Now I can appreciate a breezy day along with the rest of you, but I don't know that breezy would suffice to describe the wind conditions at this location yesterday evening. Since we had already gotten everyone there, this family totally stuck it out with me to get some great shots. A large family portrait did prove elusive, but I feel great about what we did get and you'll find my favorite image at the end of the post.
What beautiful families (even a *bit* wind blown)....
Enjoy!
This just cracks me up......... I love it!
And my favorite from the session. I just love the tenderness in this shot......

The Bailey Kids
It's that time of year again.....the annual christmas card photo endeavor. Let me tell ya, this is no small task in the Bailey household. I know what your thinking....."This should be no sweat for you, Jenna. " It just ain't so. Seriously people. I don't know what comes over the kids and me. And honestly, I don't know whose worse.....the kids.....or ME. I just can't explain it...When I get all of my kids in front of the camera together, I turn into someone (or something) even I can hardly recognize. I get so flustered, stressed and (I'll admit it ) downright cranky. I truly must sound like a raving lunatic out there trying to demand the attention of all my kids, who are determined to look anywhere but into the camera or at their mother. Seriously, when Ginny sees the camera point her way, she cries. Okay, maybe not always....
I headed out today with a list of ideas in my mind, a plan of attack, and of course the kids too (though I think they would have rather been left behind!) We even had Grandma and Grandpa there for a bit of extra help.
But, as these things generally go.....nothing went quite as planned. But it's done now and we can all take a deep breath, relax and be grateful that it's over. :)
And here they are.....all the Bailey kids....smiling on the outside.....counting the minutes till they are free on the inside.
I also spent a few minutes with each of the kids getting some individual shots. (A much easier and more enjoyable task)
Doug, 13 1/2
Jason, 12
Kiera, 8 (in 1 week anyohw)
William, 6 (also in a week)
Maddie, 4
Ginny, 19 months (and a mouth full of smarties)
Nope, not my kids. :) But gosh aren't they adorible anyhow!
meet my parents.......
