This was a fun (and COLD!) mini session for holiday cards. Little Parker is so smiley and adorable. See for yourself.






Thanks for the fun morning!

Looking for a great gift for the holidays? How about a quick and easy e-gift certificate to Danica Nelson Photography? Whoo hoo!
Since I will be traveling for all of December, I won’t be offering hard copy gift certificates like I usually do…but e-gift certificates are just as fun, right? Maybe, maybe not – but I bet your loved ones will be excited either way!
Contact me for details if you are interested.
P.S. Husbands: this is a gift any wife would love! Just sayin’…

I was lucky enough to photograph the W family at their lakehouse in Innsbrook, MO. The location is gorgeous, and the W family is absolutely beautiful themselves.


It was pretty chilly, and quite windy at times – but they pulled through!

Mason and Camille are the cutest things.

Such a fun job I have – documenting the love of families!


What gorgeous gals.

Dad told me how Mason got his name: “Mason is my ROCK.” So sweet.






Zerbert fun!





I loved every minute I got to spend with your family – thank you for a great session!

Looking at these images, would you believe that Rosalynde tried to warn me before her session that she is not very photogenic? I know, right?! I just died as I pulled up all the amazing shots we got and am hoping she’ll never think of herself that same way again. Well, Rosalynde is not just a pretty face.
She is also a talented writer, and wanted an updated headshot as she begins contributing at Patheos this week. You can also find her at:
Did I mention she’s also a great mother? I know, she’s amazing. Now onto the images…
I wanted to steal this yummy mustard coat.



I just love the touch of sass in that last one!

Thanks, Rosalynde! Good luck with all you’re involved in.

It’s been brought to my attention (thanks, Lacey!) that my feed address has changed, causing some of you Google Reader users to no longer receive updates when I post! If you aren’t getting regular updated posts in Google Reader or another feed tracker, please update it with my newest feed: http://danicanelsonphotography.com/feed/
Thank you to everyone who keeps up with my little space online!

Now here are those yummy details of baby Andrew in full context!
What an absolute doll…he slept great the whole time and was a perfect little model at only four days old.

















Thank you for allowing me to spend the afternoon with your beautiful new little guy. Truly loved it.
*On a side note – I will be out of town with family in Denver for the next 10 days (woot woot!), but will try to check and return emails as much as possible. And I have some posts scheduled for while I’m gone, so stick around!

These families are probably excited to see how their sessions went last weekend (which was COLD). Here’s a tiny peek for you!
The first S family braved 38 degree weather! But you wouldn’t know it looking at this warm autumn light.

Next up: gorgeous 7-month twins from another S family! What adorable troopers…they were beyond joys to photograph.

Check back for more posts soon!

I just love how much love is in these images. It pretty much sums up this beautiful family! More soon.




Don’t you feel happy just looking at these? That’s the power of photography…to LOVE LIFE and HAVE PROOF!

Look for the rest of Andrew’s shoot next week!
*These were shot with my new Canon 100mm 2.8 L macro lens…it was love at first click.*
