Lil’ Miss “V”~Children’s Portriature~Memphis, TN
Posted on December 6, 2011
Last year I got to photograph a cute 6 month old that made me work for every smile. You can see her post HERE.
Well, she is now a big sister and it was time for “V” to have her 6 month photos taken. “V” was full of smiles and little roaring noises. She was such a delight to photograph.
When my daughter, Naomi, saw these photos, she thought “V” looked like a baby doll. And she does!
Enjoy the preview:
She was a perfect little lady. She put her hands on the armrest all by herself! 
When her big sister came home from preschool we snapped a few of them together.
What a privilege it is to be able to photograph these girls. I got to remind the oldest little girl that I knew her daddy when he was her age. Her little face lit right up! Of course, it makes me feel old… but more than that, it makes me feel blessed.

~The Newest Blessing~ {Memphis, TN~Newborn Art}
Posted on October 18, 2011
We are continually blessed to be a part of the community that lives on the graduate school campus where my husband is working towards his Masters of Divinity. While JR and I were doing a missions survey trip in the Philippines, our children were cared for by many of the people we live among.
Chief in my mind before we headed out, was to alert the unborn “Baby J” that for me to take “newborn” photos of her, she would need to wait to be born until my trip was almost over. And she did!
Our family is blessed by her family, and we are excited that she is their newest blessing.
Introducing “Baby J”:
Hello!
{They are still trying to figure out what to think of each other.}
“Baby J”, welcome to our community! We will love lovin’ on you!!

Une Belle Famille {Memphis, TN~Family Photography}
Posted on August 8, 2011
Today I had the honor of photographing a lovely family. These world travelers are fun and adventurous. It was really great getting to spend a morning with them! (Although I must admit that I was a little intimidated by the fact that their 15 month old son is bilingual- french and English.) 
We braved the heat and humidity and captured some great photographs that give us a sneak peek into the love they have for one another.
Enjoy your sneak peek of a few of the images from this morning:
Watch out, ladies… he already speaks french! He’s going to be a total heart-breaker.
I am thrilled beyond words that this family waited for me to get back from Scotland for this photo session. I’ve got SO many great photos that I love from today already!
Have you thought about investing in Life Art? Contact me today to schedule a fun, laid-back, custom-designed session!

A d’Lifeful Opportunity {Custom Portraits~Peterhead, Scotland, UK}
Posted on May 19, 2011
I have been getting requests to have photo sessions while here in Scotland. So, I have put together special Digital Packages with special prices for our time here.
Digital Packages will provide you with the most amount of flexibility when it comes to printing and displaying your images. They will truly be YOUR images. Unlike buying a print, a digital file gives you the freedom to print the sizes you need, the quantities you need, as well as adding the photo to pre-designed cards on a multitude of greeting card sites.
The images will be given to you on a CD.
As always, I will be posting the preview images here on my web-site and on facebook. If you happen to have a facebook account, you will be tagged for your friends and family to admire.
Additionally, I will have on-line viewing of the sessions. You will be able to view your photos from the comfort of your home, share your gallery with your friends and family, and chose your favorite images.
I’m still in the process of arranging where we could go over your gallery in person. I will keep clients up to date with that information as I have it.
I am a purely Natural Light photographer, using the available light to help create the atmosphere of the photo. Shooting entirely on location, whether in your home, your own garden, a public park, or by the sea ensures that we will be holding our session in a place that is near and dear to you and your family. Your comfort and ease will be evident in the photos that we take.
You will not be asked to “cheese” for the camera. The expressions that are natural and real are what we work together to achieve.
Life Art is a philosophy of filling your home with the people, objects, and images that you cherish. Life Art captures who you are or who your children are… not just what they look like, but the sparkle of life in their eyes, the relationships, the love.
Investing in Life Art is displaying who you love on your walls for the world to see.
Digital Packages {Summer 2011}
Package One:
Session Fee plus 3 Digital Files (>20% off*): £300
Package Two:
Session Fee plus 5 Digital Files (>25% off*): £480
Package Three:
Session Fee plus 10 Digital Files (>40%off*): £475
Package Four:
Session Fee plus ALL the EDITED files from the session—25+ (>60% off*): £1500
***BUT WAIT!!***
This summer I am offering an additional 25% off each package.
That brings the package prices down to:
Package One: £225
Package Two: £360
Package Three: £475
Package Four: £1125
I will be accepting payments in cash and through PayPal.
Call 077 09 29 3853 or e-mail me at
dLifefulDaisha(at)gmail(dot)com to reserve your session!
The session fee will be required to insure your session and will be subtracted from your package price once you decide on which package best suits your needs.
I look forward to the opportunity to create Life Art of those you hold most dear with the backdrop of this beautiful country.

“It may rain on our wedding, but not our marriage!”~ Memphis, TN Wedding Portraits
Posted on March 24, 2011
John Berger knew just how to make his bride-to-be feel better about the forecast for rain on their wedding day.
Their wedding ceremony was not what they had originally planned, but it was beautiful nonetheless.
And because there was rain on their wedding day, we got to reschedule a shoot for a beautiful day, which we had yesterday.
I have SO many images from this session that I love. But for now I’ll just share these…
(Yes, I was singing “The Hills are Alive” while Jessi was conjuring up “Enchanted” images. We are weird, and we go with it.) ;P
I’m kinda glad it rained on their wedding day. ;P
Jessi and John, may God continue to bless you as you grow in Him and with each other. May your marriage glorify Him and proclaim to the world that you serve a risen Savior!

Jessi & John {Married!} ~Memphis, TN Photographer~
Posted on March 9, 2011
This past weekend I tackled my first wedding. For months the idea of a beautiful outdoor wedding in the Memphis Botanical Garden played in my head. But the weather had a different idea…
So, aside from the Bride and Groom portraits which we will go back to the Gardens on a beautiful day to shoot, here’s the sneak peek:
(Notice how my Naomi is holding her “Kissing Ball” like it’s a football. She kills me! I love her so much!)
Whenever I go to a wedding, I strain my neck to see the expression on the groom’s face the moment he sees his bride.
Here is the moment that John saw Jessi for the first time in all her bridal glory.
Did you see the cutest Ring Bearer and Flower Girl? They did such a great job following directions and walking down the aisle. It was a very proud moment for me and my husband.
I’m living in eager anticipation for the sunny session with the bride and groom. So, rest assured, you will be seeing more of these people.
Congratulations, Jessi & John. We were honored to be a part of “Your Day”, but we are even more honored to be a part of your lives.

My Beautiful 3 Year Old–and GIVEAWAY–{Memphis, TN~ Custom Portraits}
Posted on February 21, 2011
***THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED***
I cannot believe that Naomi is already 3! She is growing up and growing more beautiful every day.
She is all girl… and all tom-boy. She is full of laughter…
… and decreasing amounts of shyness.
Naomi looks like me and has her daddy’s personality. She is our girl. And we wouldn’t trade her for anything.
***GIVEAWAY***
Last year for Naomi’s birthday I was looking on-line for a cute hat for her 2 year portraits. After scouring www.etsy.com for HOURS, I came across HeartSmiles. The owner, Abbie, and I communicated back and forth and came up with this hat:
We enjoyed working together, so she sent me some more hats!
Naomi loves wearing her hats from HeartSmiles! I love that she looks cute without me having to do her hair!
These hats aren’t just for cold weather, either. The “Boho” style was perfect this summer!
But there were other summer looks as well! Headbands, patriotic, and then the custom hats we had made to go with clothes from Gymboree when our family who lives in Europe were here for a visit:
See… the boys don’t get left out either!
And if this wasn’t enough variety for you, HeartSmiles has even more in the store! AND, you can customize the hats with colors and number of flowers.
We love our HeartSmiles hats here in this house. Naomi even talks about “Ms. Abbie” by name.
So here’s the great GIVEAWAY:
You can win your choice of HeartSmiles creation PLUS a 20% discount on a d’Lifeful Photography Lift Art photo session AND PACKAGE!
How? (you ask)
Visit HeartSmiles shop on etsy, pick out your favorite product (or what you would customize) and come back HERE (on the blog, not facebook) and leave a comment.
Refer people to this contest too! If I get more than 50 comments, then I will up the percentage off to 30%. If I get more than 100 comments here on the blog, I will give away 2 discounted photo sessions!
(All winners will be chosen by Random.org)
Contest begins today and ends in 2 weeks (March 7).
Good Luck, and … GO!

Blushing Beauty vintage rosy pink visor hat
It would be nice to meet one of these days. I happened upon your site about 6 years ago, soon after Gideon was born, and stopped because I thought he looked like our son, and have been (on and off) blog-stalking you all ever since. I would think things like: oh, they will have a little girl too, oh, they got bunk-beds too, her husband is going to HUGSR, too, and look they know Jared and Laura, too. Yeah, it would be nice to meet you all one of these days.
God bless,

d’Lifefully International {Memphis, TN~Custom Portraits}
Posted on January 12, 2011
My family is currently working towards an opportunity to spend this summer (2011) working with the church of Christ in Peterhead, Scotland. I have been praying for the opportunity to work long-term in Peterhead since first visiting 12 years ago. This opportunity is an answered prayer.
In December of 2008 my husband and I were able to visit Peterhead for 4 days.
(One of the great things about a photography business, is that I can take it with me wherever I go.)
If you would like more information about our plans, please visit the blog we set up for this purpose:

Posted on January 5, 2011
Baby, it’s cold outside! (this happens to be a running gag in my family since the holidays)
Instead of going outdoors for portraits, let’s work with what we are given and stay in where it’s nice and warm?

Not only will we be able to capture beautiful, timeless black and white photos, but we can also do some silhouettes!

Black and White photos will be printed on True Black and White paper. The quality in this paper is noticeable.
This mini-session would be a great gift to a mother who loves to surround herself with gorgeous photos of her children. If you would like to present this as a Valentine’s Day gift, I will have gift cards that can be printed up and slipped into a card with a bouquet of roses.
Here’s a re-cap of all the details of the
Black&White Mini-Session:

Investing in Life Art
Our most memorable moments in life pass by so quickly. A newborn’s toothless grin gives way to the adolescent’s nervous smile. Too often we are so busy living, we forget to capture these precious moments in our lives.
Looking back over your journey here on earth, what comes to mind? The hours spent at work? Or the laughter during tickle-fights with your children? The awkward sitting-on-a-couch photo that Uncle Al snapped at a family reunion? Or the two hours you spent with your mother and your daughter baking sugar cookies?
d’Lifeful Photography Life Art is about capturing the emotions from those moments you keep close to your heart. Life Art is a portrait of you doing what you love with the people you love.
Investing in Life Art is more than simply getting a cute photo for an album or a scrapbook.
Life Art is an intentional display of your moments.
Life Art is placing those cherished memories up on your walls. . . out on your coffee tables. . . where they greet you daily and remind you to capture your life as you live it.
To aid you in filling your home with Life Art, d’Lifeful Photography presents 3 different collections. Each one provides you with significant discounts on images and products offered.
Over the next few days I will be posting about my philosophy for Life Art, my services, as well as the classic products I will be offering in 2011.
Happy 2011!
