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.

Too Cool

This session was so much fun! The little girl was adorable and the pictures with the sunglasses turned out perfect.

"Rain" Backdrop

 

A little while ago I was trying out a new background I call "rain". I also tried out a new texture on it. I love how the images turned out!

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.

 

Tea Party

With the tea party theme session, it's not hard to capture special images because the little girls have so much fun!

 

 

Exploring

 Earlier this year I went on a hike with my family and there was just so many neat looking trees, these are a few of my favourites. I had fun trying out some new textures on these photos.

 

Cookies & Milk

Here's a new background I got in for Christmas. I decided to try in out on my little brother with some cookies and milk. He said he really liked the cookie part :) I'll be taking pictures with Santa at the Carstairs Farmer's Market on the 8th of December from 12-3. Stop on by and get your child's picture taken.

Pathways of Light

Paths really inspire me in photography. They have such beautiful leading lines and they leave you with a sense of mystery as to where they go. I love how the paths lead up to the sun in a couple of these pictures.

 

Mother & Son

I love how these pictures capture the relationship between mother and son.

 

Family Session- "The Rocks"

"The Rocks" is my favourite outdoor location I've done a session at so far. This session was extra special because, over the past year, we've become very good family friends.

 

Brother & Sister Portrait Session

These kids were so adorable! The little girl showed so much love for her little brother. What I love about these pictures is that the smiles are so genuine because their parents were playing with them during the session and the kids were laughing at their mommy and daddy.
