{S} Family

So it's long over due for my family to have their photos done. The last time we had a family photo taken with everyone in it was 12 years ago. Sadie was a puppy and now we have a new puppy Mya! Although I will admit these weren't the easiest thing to do, being in front of the camera and behind it all at once can be a challenge believe it or not, but we managed! Here is a little peak, you may or may not see us do this again, and try to get the dogs to be photogenic next time! 

So here is a little look at my family! 

A Chelsea Dale Photo Shoot

So something about me you may not have known is that I am terrible at taking pictures. I try and try to keep my eyes open, but I am actually really bad at it. Even on this day it was completely cloudy and I still had a problem. Thankfully my sister Amanda had some sort of patients this day because I have been dying to get in front of the camera, I have no recent pictures of myself and my about me page needs some. Plus you guys may just want to know what I look like if you didn't already! 

So my sister and I met in town and we took turns taking pictures of each other. My sister does have photography training and experience, but only does it for fun. She is always up to help me out though! So these photos were taken by her, but posed and edited by me. 

My puppy Mya even managed to sneak into a few! 

(too bad my eyes were closed in all the ones she looked cute in!) 

Alright well enjoy some photos of me, and stay tuned for Amanda's pictures. 

I have baby Riley coming back to the studio today.. I can't believe she is almost 1! I still remember going to see her in the hospital when she was born like it was yesterday! I can't wait to see her she is getting so big and I am excited for this shoot today! 

Happy Sunday! 

CDP's newest face

Meet Chelsea Dale Photography's newest face

Yup that's right I bought a puppy! 

She is 9 1/2 weeks old. 

Since she is a husky she loves to sleep in cold places she can be found sleeping under the kitchen counter on the tile floor, on top of the air condition vent, or standing as close to an open fridge as possible. 

Today was one of the colder days we have had since she came home and if I would have let her I think she would have been happy just sitting outside all day. I can't wait to see how well she handles the winter. 

In other news: I am back in Freeland full time now. My summer of working in Traverse City was amazing, but it was time to come home. Although I will miss my view and the downtown shopping I am glad to be back. I have 3 sessions this week and I can't wait to meet up with the clients! 

I am also starting to book up my fall slots, and now that I am back full time my schedule is completely open 7 days a week. I can't wait to be shooting more this fall! 

Enough about me now onto my photos of Mya! 

Enjoy her blue eyes! 

P.S. I couldn't end this blog without sending a little shout out to my parents. 

Have a great anniversary tomorrow! 

Family: Traverse City On Location

So I a few weeks ago I was lucky enough that my family was able to come to town. My Grandma, Aunt, and 2 Uncles were in Traverse City, so while they were here they asked me to do some photos of them. what started off as a beautiful day ended up pouring in the middle of the shoot. I was still able to get a good selection for them and wanted to put a sneak peak up here for everyone to see. 

Even though my grandma kept saying "I don't like having pictures taken" I think she has some beautiful photos in this bunch. 

Enjoy!
