Capturing Joyful Memories: Photography by DeLisa

mini peek... Levi

baby blues... (more of little Levi to come)

Levi: 3 months

Meet the Beard Family!  This was a photo session all about trying to make sweet little Levi happy.  Poor little guy...we took him out in the cold, in the wind, put him in a bucket, kept laying him down...he wasn't having it!  He wanted his mommy or daddy holding him and giving him some love.  Levi is quite the little cutie though...check him out and a few great family and individual shots we captured. 

sweet family

he is wondering what is going on...(look at those eyes)

lil' football player in the making (Daddy is a coach)

...and now the Halloween cow costume.  Levi was OVER IT at this point.  I think here he is saying, "I don't know about this..."  

pretty darn cute little moo cow!

Levi, you were still a little trooper.  I look forward to a great 6 month session little man! :) Pamela you have a precious baby boy.

Ornelas Family

Brittany Ornelas, a high school student, needed to job shadow and decided photography would be an interesting choice.  So, we set up a session that would provide her family some photos, offer her a chance to get behind the lens a few times as well as offer her a chance to do a little Q & A.  Check out their family photos...

What's soo funny Mom???  :)  cute!

Brittany

She demonstrates this sweet silence about her (now, I'm not sure what she is like at home Mom and Dad, but that's what I see in this picture :) ....a sweet silence, a quiet calmness.

Sisters!  Kaitlyn looking soo much like Dad and Brittany looking soo much like Mom.

Well, Brittany...I wish you the very best of luck!  If you would like to join me for more photography adventures just let me know :)

Gilsdorf Family part II

So here it is...part II as promised ---and it's a BIG ONE!  

This is a family that I have known for many, many years!  I've known Bonnie for over 14 years!  Wow---I just added that up!!!  I haven't counted the years or even thought about that in a while but that's a long time.  She is an important person to me as well as her family.  The only sad thing is that our lives keep us really busy these days and we don't get to see each other as often as we would like even though we live soo very close.  I was thrilled however to have the opportunity to spend several hours with her, Jeff, and their adorable boy Zander in order to take their family pics.  I just love little Zander-man!  He is full of personality and I love getting to see all of the little changes he makes over time.  Check out this great family that I love ever soo much!

Who's that monkey hiding behind that tree...?

It's Zander!  He's also a cute little monkey in the jungle grass!

His smile is infectious!  

Just hangin' out...

He had a GREAT time!  We spent 2 hours walking around Will Rogers Park and then the OKC Midtown area and Zander was this happy the entire time!  He is quite the exceptional little boy.  His mommy and daddy are blessed and he is blessed to have them as parents.

Lovin' his little facial expressions and EXCITEMENT!!!  He had me crackin' up!...Well, as you can see he had mom and dad laughing too.  Zander was certainly my entertainment for the day.

What a sweet little boy...

...who has ALOT of fun with mom and dad!

silly faces :)

He is growing up soo quickly.  He looks like a such BIG boy here (even if he does only barely reach the window sill).

 

This graffiti wall is serious business!

Oh, my goodness, I just want to eat him up with kisses and HuGs and tickles and LoVe!!!  He posed himself I'll have you all know.  All we did was sit him up on the ledge.  Zander decided himself to prop up his leg and place his hand on his knee oh so perfectly.  ADORABLE!  He is such a great little listener...(apparently he learned this from his previous session at a studio).  

"Come on guys...let's go..." he says :)

----------------------------------

See you soon Mr. Personality!!!  ~ :::Hugs::: to you Zander!

I love all of you!

Gilsdorf Family mini-peek part I

 Here is a mini-peek of a very large or rather SUPER-sized session with much more to come!  This is a family that is near and dear to my heart.  I can't wait to share more with you over the next few days...  but for now I have to make this post short and sweet :( 

Zander is getting some kisses from Mom and Dad.

Such a happy little guy with a perfect mixture of both Mom and Dad.  

Check back for more...much, much, more!

Milligan Family

The Milligan family is back and this time they too have a second addition to the family.  Little miss Megan has joined the family.  Now, from what Mom tells me Molly isn't very found of her new little sis but we did manage to get them next to one another for at least 1 or 2 pictures :)  Oh, the sibling love!  It was great getting to see how much big sis Molly has changed over this past year.  She has quite the little personality these days.  She was pretty cute!  I look forward to seeing how Megan grows and changes too. 

Molly (big sis):  cheesing it up for the camera --- Megan:  not so sure what's going on just yet 

Such a big girl - leading the way!  

What a fantastic smile!  

Cutie-pie

Where did you go...???  You can't see me...

Payton

Here is miss "P", otherwise known as Payton.  She is a talkative little sweetheart who kept me laughing one beautiful afternoon in Will Rogers Park.

What is she up to???  :)

adorable!

Baby Taylor & the Long Family

I met up with the long family at Will Rogers park on a beautiful afternoon so that we could try and capture some shots of their baby girl Taylor.  She is precious with her lovely little cheeks and pretty blue eyes.  We found it funny on this session how little miss Taylor was way more fascinated by the fuzzy rug we used to prop her on than any of our antics to catch her attention to get her to look towards our direction or get her to smile at us ---she wasn't amused by us!  She just wanted to figure out the AMAZING fuzzy rugs.  She was probably wondering what on Earth I kept putting her on :)  Soo cute!

Look at those cheeks!  Love 'em!

pretty cute!

She was perfectly content hanging out in the bucket.  These little buckets are quite the hit with babies.

The proud grandparents  

The Hylton Family

Meet Jay, Liz, and Dutch Hylton.  We spent a wonderful afternoon strolling through Will Rogers park, along with Liz's parents.  It was a good thing we had the grandparents around too because we kept having to 'hide' the red wagon Dutch had been riding in...that boy LOVES his red wagon!  Overall, Dutch was such an easy-going little guy, although very serious at times.  He was still a sweetheart.

 

   

cute!

Lola: 9 months

Lovely, lovely Lola!  I could photograph this baby girl all day every day!  She is such a doll and I love each and every session with her.  Lola is such a SWEET baby girl full of soft serious faces as well as smiles that brighten your day! ...and those eyes--WOW--captivating!
