Cairo Senior/Family Session

We've done it! Our first session in our new home in Cairo, Egypt. I am thrilled to be able to continue to do this rewarding work. In this combo-session, we spent the first half doing a traditional senior portrait session and the second half shooting a family session.

Regarding the senior session, I cannot say enough about Maya's overall amazingness. Apart from being a natural in front of the camera, Maya emanated confidence and poise and absolutely KILLED IT. It was a pleasure to photograph her.

Later, her family joined in (after a drink at the homemade backyard bar) for some photographs all together. No one could be sure of the last time they had all been professionally photographed, but all agreed that it had been a while. 

To sum up: glowy evening light, gorgeous backyard setting, and a wonderful family.

Testimonials Sneak Peek, Part 3

Soon I'll be launching a Testimonials page on Noah Dalton Photographs! Woohoo new content!
I wanted to encourage my clients to do some storytelling of their own, so I asked them to choose a favorite image that they returned to again and again, and to tell me about it. I wanted to know why that particular image spoke to them, and I loved reading the results. 

Each week I'll be releasing one photo and the client story that goes with it.
This week, Chris tells me about this favorite image from his intimate Charleston wedding.

Our wedding day was encapsulated with endless amounts of love and pure joy and this photo is a reminder of that. Noah was simply the best photographer we could have asked for. Not only did he produce amazing photos, but he made the whole process fun and effortless. This was a candid shot Noah took as we were waiting for further instructions during our photo shoot. Once the ceremony began everything moved very quickly, and this was our first real moment to share in each other’s happiness. We felt loved and accepted that whole day and for a second we didn’t care about anything else in the world except being with each other. 

Newborn Julian

Ok, I'll admit it. 
I used to be one of those people who put babies into two categories. Either your baby looks like a generic human baby or your baby totally looks like an alien. If you managed to have a non-alien baby, it pretty much looked to me like all the other babies in this category. 

But man, was I wrong. Not about the alien thing. That's a real thing. Just about the all other babies looking the same thing.

Marsha and Rob are wonderful parents and just loved participating in the creative process. Julian, for his part, was about as fantastic as a baby could be. He was passed around, licked and nuzzled by the dog, and even put on a giant leaf... and he just kept on chilling. He even smile/laughed for the first time and we caught THAT moment on camera for all time.

I met baby Julian on his 9th day on Earth. At this point I'd like to say for the record that he doesn't look at all like an alien or a raisin or a dried apple. He looks like a perfect, tiny human. Not at all like other babies.
Well done, Marsha and Rob! And Congratulations!
