The Dog days of Summer???
The last few weeks we have suffered with very high humidity, as well as hot temperatures in the 90s.
It's been awhile since I have written, as well as had the time to post about what has been going on with DLWM Photography.
My daughter turned two the end of last month and it was a very exciting celebration. Since she was born, I always enjoyed taking a break from taking pictures and would take her to a local studio. My son had gone for pictures at a very young age, and being a new parent I thought that that was just what you were supposed to do. Although the photography studio I went to was very friendly and talented, it is far from a calm environment for taking pictures for kids.
When you go into a studio with kids, they see the sheets in the room, they have to get dressed up...as well as the photographer is constantly saying, 'look at the camera.', 'Smile..', 'Look at this pretty toy I'm holding'. There are strangers out in the waiting room watching your pictures being taken and anxiously awaiting their turn, and you are stuck in a cramped space. As parents you are pretty much dedicated to being on the outside lines, where you can pretty much see but not touch while the photographer does their work. Out of all the pictures they take, you end up with about 10 shots, sometimes less that they were able to capture in your time slot. I'm not trying to take them down by any means, but as a kid it can be difficult to be that patient. I remember going as a kid, and now seeing the other side of the coin.
I had gotten lucky to be able to capture my daughter on my own, in her home environment and it was an excellent experience.
It was early in the morning and I had put her in a pretty little dress. We started out in our front yard and worked our way to the back yard. It was so much more relaxed than she had been in the past in a studio. She was able to be much more free about her surroundings than 'smile at this cute little doll.'
Following that I also had taken pictures at my church for the local fourth of July Parade. They had put on some activities for the children before the parade started and offered drinks to the people walking in the parade. I made sure I was around to take pictures of all the action.
Over the week of fourth of July, we had been out visiting my in laws. I was very lucky to be around my phone when I was because a local friend was in need of a photographer for her party. I volunteered and told her I'd get a cd made for her as well. She is looking forward to having me as her photographer. I was thrilled to finally be doing an event.
With all the excitement of the event, I was very thrilled.
After being home, I had gotten another message from a different friends to be a photographer for her as well.
I am very excited to announce these things. Event photography is exactly what I enjoy taking pictures of. I LOVE photographing couples, and when I have been at my cousin's weddings I have enjoyed taking pictures for them as well.

Location is Key
When your stumped at where to go to get your pictures taken for the first time by a personal photographer, the thoughts about location can be confusing.
Where are we allowed to go? Where should I go that is important to me/us? Where is there a place that is scenic?
These are common questions my couples, more so ask me when they schedule their photo session. Your photo opportunities are endless, you can pretty much go to any public place like a park, for example.
I recently took some pictures of my church for my church. The scenery was beautiful for the spring, and this would have been an ideal location for my husband and I since this is where we met.
As you can see, this location you have the gorgeous sky, the beautiful building, and plenty of plants to pose by. Had I not gotten engaged in the wintertime, this would have been top priority on my list of locations to go. Imagine this scene at sunset.
This is one of my other favorite locations to take couples. I used my church before as an example of one of the locations I'd choose. This is a local park that my couples enjoy visiting, as well as spending some quality time together while I snap pictures. What more can you ask for???
Next time you want to find more options about where to go for your photo shoot...contact DLWM Photography today. DLWMPhotography@gmail.com.

Jim Thorpe, PA
February 11th and 12, 2012
Last month I went on a weekend trip to Jim Thorpe, PA. It is an enchanting little town that has much history behind it. After the visit in the summer I was anxious to go back to visit this small unique town. I came to find out that much of my families history started in this little town so I was also anxious to find out more about that.
During this mild winter, we were lucky and fortunate enough to have weather mostly in the Fifties. I had planned to do some walking around, including finding the trail to the switchback railroad. I also had hoped to find some ancestors there. Of course, when the weekend came we had some snow flurries and weather in the 20s, not nice enough weather to walk around. So most of our touring we did by car, although we did get out and walk some.
Jim Thorpe, PA is such a unique little town. During the last 3 times I've visited I've still found out so much about this little town, every time there is still history to be learned about.
I visited the town over the summer (go back thru some old posts to read about that trip) and it has surprised me how much more there is to see. This visit I saw the inside of the Harry Packer Mansion (I'm not sure if photos were allowed, so none were taken inside), the Asa Packer Mansion was closed; as well as the old jail. I have managed to get photos of all the typical things. The statue, courthouse, mansions, train station, and some old buildings. I'm hoping in the spring to make it up there again to go for a journey on the 'Switchback Railroad'. Although the railroad is gone, there is now a hiking path in it's place. I'd also like to take the typical tours of the Asa Packer Mansion and the Jail...my kid said to me this morning that he'd like to go on the train ride again!
There is so many photo opportunities up there, and it is such a beautiful little town. I can hardly wait to go back up there again for some more photo opportunities!

February--the month to remember.
During this last month I have introduced a new link on both my website and Facebook page to allow clients to schedule a session thru your computer! How much more convenient is that? Simply click the 'BookNow' button and virtually schedule your appointment. If you'd like a wedding consultation, please specify that in the scheduling process.
Despite the advertisements for couples, I only managed to schedule a few small sessions. It also became difficult because our computer broke for one...and as the month went on, my husband and I visited Jim Thorpe, PA to help celebrate our 2nd anniversary. The weekend was fun, but not as romantic as we thought it would be. Pictures coming to the website soon!
The second day of our weekend getaway, we received a call that my Grandfather had passed away on Sunday morning. We continued our day as we originally planned, but we couldn't wait to get home and relax with the kids.
The whole week after he passed our schedule was filled between work, the funeral dinner, and his viewing on the day of our Anniversary. It was a big downer for us because we had planned to go out to dinner, at that point we were grateful to have the whole weekend together. Although things were bad we expected that they would pick up....and they didn't always get better. Due to unforeseeable circumstances, I was able to fully focus on my Photography
I am now hoping to open up to some more photo experiences in the Spring! Including a historical tour of our town...
