Louisville child portrait photographer

I really enjoy doing the free sessions at Mama's Hip. It gives me an opportunity to meet familes I maybe otherwise wouldn't have the chance to. Here are a couple shots from this months.

C the cutie

Look how cute this little girl is!

I meet so many different families, different children, different parents, etc. I truely enjoy all their different personalities, and this little one and her mama were no exception.

I had the pleasure of following them down to a little stream, as well as see little C try to eat clover flowers. (Are white clovers edible as well?)

oh man!

This child is insanely cute!!! Look at him!

And these thighs!!!!

And the eyes!

Gosh! I'm so happy his mama picked me to take his pictures! ;)

E and H

Meet little E, pretty little E.

This is her sister H, pictures of her as a baby, in this pink tutu, appear on many of my business cards, as well as my website.

It's so fun watching children grow up through my lens.

ruby the cutie

Meet Ruby! A little girl, with the cutest dresses (and smiles) in all the land!

little lucy

Last weekend I met a couple families at the park to take pictures of thier little girls. Lucy was one of the little princess' I worked with.

Mom said she just recently started walking, and it showed! She had far better things to do than get her picture taken. ;) I definitely had a blast chasing her around and trying to get her attention.

little s

I'm pretty sure i posted MY favorites from this shoot before, but this time I was working on the ones her aunt (that's who wanted the shoot for her) picked.

I can not get over what a beauty sophia is. Little model in the making.

the y family

About a month ago my family and I made our semi anual trip to the North Carolina coast. I offered to do a few shoots while I was there, one of the families that took me up on it is an old favorite. Bella is one of the most delightful little people I've ever met!

I don't think they planned on her getting wet that day, but in typical three year old fashion, she wanted to experience the ocean with all of her senses! (well, except taste, i think.)

little miss S

My family recently made a visit to eastern North Carolina, while we were there an old friend of mine asked me to take some photos of her neice, I felt honored.

What a beautiful little girl! and she had more personality than a classroom full of children combined!

Sharing the love

I recently was let on to this great idea by a wonderful photographer in Dayton, OH, Erinne Fullam, who was given the idea by someone else. In any case, what’s the great idea?

I’ve been searching high and low for ways to use my talents/skills/gifts/etc. to help others. So here goes...

Once a month I will give one lucky person, family, (I guess other things are possible pending they qualify?) etc. a free photo shoot in addition to a few prints (exact quantities and sizes are TBD) just for being awesome.

The catch? well, this isn’t really a contest, but more a way of helping those that need it. maybe you know a family that struggles to make ends meet, that couldn’t even imagine the luxury of a family portrait. or a young girl that has trouble with self image, imagine how wonderful dolled up pictures would make her feel.
possibly a military family, struggling through a deployment.
the list goes on and on... (struggling business, adopting family, charity, etc.)

I do ask that you not enter yourself, but instead, enter someone else. Who do you know that a photo session would really benefit?

Now go email me at jes.deis@gmail.com and tell me all about the person you think that needs this shoot, why do they deserve this?

Towards the end of the month I’ll select a “winner” and post it here on facebook (so make sure you’re a fan!)

If an entry doesn’t get selected one month, it may still get selected later, no worries!

You can submit as many candidates/stories as you’d like.

If you do not win during the month of your entry, it will be rolled over into the following month's drawing, so the pool gets bigger as the year goes on.

You may enter as many different people as you like. :)

baby d's red hair

as promised, some pictures of baby d's beautiful red hair.

but first, his proud big brother...

i just had to get a shot of d in his mamas belly cast. its amazing to think about them being inside.

such a sweet sweet little boy!

snow

this lovely family asked me about taking some snow pictures the first decent snow we got, unfortunately it mented before we got a chance to get together, so i contacted them after the next accumlation and rushed over before the sun got the best of it. the kids had loads of fun and im sure the hot cocoa finish made it that much better! ;)
