Fall Mini Sessions 2018

 
 

I'm very excited to announce fall mini sessions! I only offer mini sessions 1-2 times per year and these sessions give you the chance to have your pictures done at over 50% less than the cost of my normal portrait sessions! Fall mini sessions are the perfect time to have pictures done for Christmas cards or Christmas gifts while the leaves are changing. These mini sessions would be great for families, couples, seniors and more!

Here's all the details:

  • Fall mini sessions are $125 (+ tax) and include: One 15 minute session, 8+ edited digital images in an online gallery, and a print release.
  • Fall mini sessions will all be on 9/22 from 4-7pm in Burlington, NC at Cedarock park and 11/3 from 3-6pm in Clemmons, NC at Tanglewood Park.
  • Fall mini sessions are non-refundable. In the event of rain, a rain date will be rescheduled and you will be given the option of getting a refund if you are not able to make the rain date.
  • Mini sessions are for a family up to 6 people. If you have more than 6 people in your family, you will need to pay an additional $40 for each additional 1-2 people and you will receive and extra 5 minutes. Please contact me before booking your session if you have more than 6 people.
  • If you have any questions, please email me at diprimaphotography@gmail.com.

9 Months with Dom

I may or may not have missed Dom's 8 month pictures and taken both his eight and nine month pictures today....terrible I know! A LOT has changed in the last two months.

Dom weights 18lbs & 2oz and is 27.5 inches long. He started crawling at around 8 months and crawls crazy fast now! He's also pulling up on everything and he is officially weaned completely from breastfeeding and eating formula & 3 meals of solid foods a day. He also got his first two teeth a few weeks ago (the bottom front two teeth).

One other big update: He started sleeping completely through the night at about 8 months!!!! I honestly think that weaning him from nursing helped because he no longer expected to nurse in the middle of the night. Also, I let him cry it out several times and he eventually learned. He now *usually* sleeps 12 uninterrupted hours at night...it's been life changing!

Dom loves:

  • Bananas and fruit purees (his favorite meals is still bananas with oatmeal)
  • Crawling EVERYWHERE
  • Playing with everything he's not allowed to touch, mainly cords and electrical outlets :)
  • Playing with his toys in the bath
  • Going for walks in his stroller
  • Teething crackers
  • The beach! He went on his first beach trip and did great!

Dom doesn't like:

  • Non-pureed food...I've been trying really hard to get him to eat pieces of avocado, puffs...anything! And he freaks out if it's not pureed, I guess he doesn't have chewing down yet!
  • Men in hats...he seems to have a fear of men in hats or men who make abrupt noises...haha!

Dom's current schedule is as follows:

7:30am- Wake up and have bottle of formula

8:30am- Breakfast (usually oatmeal and bananas or greek yogurt with fruit)

9am- Nap

11am- Second bottle

12pm- Lunch (usually 4oz of fruits/veggies)

1pm- Second nap

3pm- Third bottle

4pm- Dinner (usually 4oz of fruits/veggies/meat)

6pm- Bath and fourth bottle

7pm- Bed
