Tis the time of year that all of us photographers get the itch to learn and expand our skills…I think its the cold winter weather outside personally.

With this desire to learn, comes workshops and new adventures which result in the need for subjects!

The first casting call is for MONTREAL!  you bet.. I am on my way to Montreal to join some fellow photographers in April 2010! I am totally stoked to be able to meet some of these fine photographers! We are looking for babies due the first week in April! Also an open call to children ranging in age from children ranging from 2-13 and teens from 14-17  that also reside in the Montreal area! I know that its a long stretch posting this casting call here in Alberta, but you just never know who has a cute relative on the Other side of our dear country!

For more information on the Montreal casting call please email gabfest2010@gmail.com

The second casting call is for Red Deer. I am enrolled in a local workshop to be held on the 24th of April in Red Deer.  We are looking for children ages 3-14.  For this workshop there may be up to 20 photographers shooting your child, so please be sure to consider that before you enter.   Some children will thrive with all the attentions.. others will not.  Top 10 entries will be chosen by local photographers then the final winners will be decided by an online voting poll! You will also be required to sign a model release, and your childrens images will be posted on the internet, by one or more different photographers.

To enter your child(ren) please email me a photo of your child, as well with all contact information.  Please be sure to state the age(s) of the entrants at info@deannahallphotography.com I will then forward all entries to the organizer so the top 10 can be chosen!

I honestly cant even imagine! I have 2 and I think I will go insane before they are grown and moved out of the house! However, these 4 little men were amazingly well behaved, super fun and SUPER cute too!

I love this one… I cant really say why I do.. but i just do…and I am the artist so I can decide! LOL!

I hope everyone is enjoying their sneak peeks! More will come tomorrow!

My last session of Saturday was a fun but super quick one!

THe light was amazing for about 8 minutes of this session, then the skies opened up and it got dark REALLY fast..then the WIND came, and finally the rain… while I was driving home we had a really nice hail/sleet storm too! SOOSO glad we finished the session when we did!

You would never guess the weather was as bad as it was by the looks of these girls! And I have to think that I am a lucky lady for getting not just ONE child with an amazing smile..but TWO! both in the same day!

Check out this grin!!

and this one!

and this one!

then all 3 of them together!

This family showed up nice and early ( which I love) and had to wait around for a bit, but they were still too much fun! Its also fun to step out of my regular clients.. its fun to have some 20 somethings hit the blog! Thank you guys for being SO cool! I hope you love your sneak peeks!

Gillian..promise me you will order this one…. its INSANE!!!!!!!!!!

I first met Tina during a Moms on the Go meeting a few years ago. We have been talking about a session for awhile, and luckily my mini session was exactly what she was looking for!

Here are some peeks Miss Tina!

I know that is scary to some of you, but for me, its part of life.. after August comes September and October, which are often my 2 busiest months of the year. Everyone wants fall family photos! Some want them to hang on the walls, some want them to include in Christmas cards, and some clients just love them and love to see the change in their family from year to year! Its not to early to start planning for your fall portrait session!
