chase

posts are going to be exceptionally rare for a few months, mostly due to the fact that im about to have a baby!

so, for now ill leave you with someone elses cutie that i worked with the other day.

what a handsome fellow!!!

the h family

look at this face!!!!

ty

yesterday i got to photograph one of the shyest, yet sweetest, thomas the train fans ever.

the m family

the weather has been nothing but perfect the past few weekends. which makes the world a better place for families trying to squeeze in an outdoor portrait session before winter takes over.

this family was loads of fun! they even brought their dog along for a few shots. i cant wait to work with them again!

landon and miles

landon, and his baby brother miles. cute boys, and im not sure ive seen a four year old adore his baby brother as much as landon.

landon was non stop, im fairly certain hes an aspiring model. ;)

the tear in this first one of miles is too much!

the ehlerts

last weekend was BEAUTIFUL! (mid 70s, lots of sun, and trees in their full fall beauty) and i had the pleasure of shooting with the ehlerts.

their daughter was a doll, with beautiful blue eyes, so i just had to get at least one good shot that could show them off.

what a pleasure they were to work with, thank you!

katies baby

a friend of mine asked me to be her birth partner, in addition to taking photos.

convincing myself it was ok to click my shutter while trying to console a laboring mama was a little hard, but im happy with the photos i got. here are a few...

will and rachels wedding

these are images from a wedding i shot recently. it was the most well planned, smoothest running wedding ive ever seen or heard of for that matter. and for that, i am grateful. will and rachel were incredibly sweet and fun to work with. i hope they are pleased with their images.

the lacers

i was lucky enough to shoot this young mans first birthday party, and now i get the pleasure of photographing mama before #2 comes along.

brayden

i shot these about a week ago, and these are the ones the mother wanted to use for a birthday card.

this little boy had the most gorgeous eyes.

north carolina

we recently visited NC and i was lucky enough to get to take pictures of an old friends beautiful children.

i also attended my cousins wedding, which was beautiful. and instead of doing the traditional birdseed and rice, they had everyone hold sparklers as they walked out. sparklers are naturally one of the most enjoyable things to photograph. way to make a wedding that much cooler. :)

fashion

well, i finally redid my site, while theres still a few things that need work (like adding all the galleries)

feel free to check it out. www.jesdeis.com

the other day i did a fashion shoot for milksmartmama.com and was very fortunate to have an incredibly photogenic model. :) always helps.

here are my favorites. im sure others can be seen on her site shortly.

brand new babies

i recently had the pleasure of photographing two different newborns from two different families, in the same day!!

one being 3 weeks old, the other less than 24 hours. i finally got to try out some new things, and im so greatful to these mamas for letting me play with their precious bundles.
