New Website!

There's been a lot happening in my life lately...including the fact that I got married :) My husband and I are now doing photography together and so this calls for some rebranding, we are now Dallas & Jylisa's Photography. We've created a new website that you can still find at www.jylisasphotography.com for now. Also, this blog is no longer going to be active so if you want to keep up with what's happening you can visit our facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/pages/Dallas-Jylisas-Photography/237949209585490

5 Days Old

My first session with a newborn this tiny, only 5 days old. What a difference it makes getting them this early. She slept so much better and did great! I would definitely love to do more newborn sessions. The only problem is that when taking pictures I can't hold them.

"Rain" Backdrop

A Call to Love

I while back I took the cover photo for my aunt's book. I'm excited to say that her book is now published! You can look for it on Amazon. Below is the cover photo and a sneak peak into what the story is about.

"As a single mother, Maddy Walker's life has been anything but easy, yet despite her pain and loss, she has committed her life to loving and serving others. Throughout the story, Maddy's faith is stretched as God teaches her how to love, enabling her to touch the lives of many people in her community. When Maddy discovers that she has an inoperable brain aneurysm, she is tempted to withdraw, uncertain she has anything left to give. Her only prayer is to live long enough to see her daughter married and know she is taken care of. But God is not finished with Maddy.

When Isobelle Davis moves to town, God prompts Maddy to befriend her. Thrown into the midst of unwelcome change, Isobelle is struggling with feelings of anger and discontentment. Yet God uses what Isobelle views as a negative circumstance to provide an answer to Maddy's prayer. In the process, Isobelle's attitude is transformed and she gains new perspective as she is able to see how God's hand was orchestrating it all."

Expressions

We had so much fun at this session! The kids were full of fun expressions and energy. I just love how the final collages turned out.

Ordering Your Portraits

If you know what you want to order and prefer looking through your images from the comfort of your home, I can send you your proofs through email. However, I also know that deciding what you want to order can be challenging. If you would prefer to book an appointment to sit down with me, I'll help you through the ordering process at no extra charge. I want to ensure you get the best products for your home. Also, if you're having a hard time deciding what sizes to order and can't visualize how big the final image will be on your wall, you can send me a picture of your wall, (I'll give you a few specifications,) and I'll send you a sample picture of what different sizes will look like.

Artistic Style

My favourite style of portrait is--full colour. I work hard to ensure an accurate colour and a quality product. On colour images I will quite often soften skin and sharpen eyes as well. However, I also love adding aristic effects to enhance portraits. Some of these styles include Hand Tinting, (turning the image black and white and then bringing out colour in certain areas,) Antiquing, (this effect has a sepia tone to it,) Textures, (I love adding textures to images and bringing out some neat contrast in the image as well.) I have many other artistic effects I apply to images but these are some of my favourite.

We are now booking weddings!
