© Dina Marie Originals - a blog with a purpose....

It doesn't feel good being behind.

Life sometimes gets the best of us.  Making the time to update has not been a strong point of mine for awhile now.  I am hoping to start posting here more.  This was one of my favorite sessions this summer so far.....

2009 - a late welcome...

Well, I can't say I am the best blogger (obviously).  Please forgive me!  

2008 was filled with a lot of growth.  In fact, there has been so much growth I am ashamed to admit it was tough keeping up with it all. This year, we are dedicated to better time management and service!  

We'd like to thank all of our clients for your business and patience with us.  

I continue to be amazed at the opportunity and blessings to do what I do.  I love my job so much.  

I am booking into late February now with select newborn sessions available before that time.  Please feel free to contact me for further information.

In closing, here are a few from a session last night!  Soon all, Dina Marie

The best kind of mess

“Of course if you like your kids, if you love them from the moment they begin, you yourself begin all over again, in them, with them, and so there is something more to the world again.”
- William Saroyan

My job was validated ONCE AGAIN during a recent proof session as I ordered this one in a 16x20 with their order! I love it when parents really "see" their child. :)

this little sweetie.......was caugt in her "moment"

a multi-tasking mother is beautiful.

I was delighted during a recent proof session. I told her how much I loved this photo and she told me it was one of her husbands favorite shots from the entire session! I was so happy it was ordered. Sometimes people miss the "in between moments" and those are the moments usually treasured most in the end.

The "B" family ...

After spending time with this sweet family, I was both exhausted and exhilarated. Take a peek at a few of my favorites.....

Potato Chips anyone?

I looked long and hard for a special quote on this one. But really, it's just all about the stolen moments. I had the pleasure of following Miss Sheye around last week. She told me all about life while she was on the potty crunching away on her at chips. hehehehe. I love kids. They do what they feel and they feel what they do.

baby love

Getting in the center of a moment is what i love the most about photography. This one tangled me up in it....

One of SEVEN kids...... What a wonderful child.
