BAck them up to an External HArd Drive.

Back them up to a DVD.

External drives can fail, and when they fail, its bad.

I was removing stuff off my old PC last week and came across a few old shots.

They are mostly of my own children, but I am so very GLAD to have found these.

They are fun.

They are goofy.

They rock.

They make me smile.

These two wonderful young ladies patiently waited for me to return from holidays to have their session! WE had lots of fun, and lots of giggles during the evening.

We were also joined by Rene Rondeau from ImediaTV who is an amazing videographer.

In case you have wondered what its like to have a session with me, here is an “awesome” example!

Take a peek! its FUN! SQUEEEE!!

All you need to do is join our facebook event and upload an AMATEUR photo showing us WHY you need a new one.

It can be outdated, out of focus, missing a family member, bad clothing, bad timing, unhappy children, unhappy HUSBAND, whatever makes it a BAD photo!

Both Penny and I are giving away ONE spot in each of our mini sessions to TWO winners.

One winner will be chosen based on the most number of likes under the image, the other will be chosen by Penny and myself.

The winning free sessions will take place in a central Alberta location on Sept 25, 2011 in conjunction with our currently planned mini session events.

Please click here to join and attend our “event”.

Be sure to share the event on your profile and encourage others to “like” your photo!

Contest closes Saturday Sept 19th, 9:00 Red Deer time.

Now go dig up those outdated photos that you dont want anyone to see, and be brave. Upload them to facebook here

Please remember this contest is in good fun, any professional photos will be removed instantly.

Not much to say on this post, other than a huge thank you to Christine for choosing me to capture her family this summer. Oh yes and ALSO A huge thank you for doing such a wonderful job on clothing selection! I giggled with excitement when I drove up to the first location and saw them all standing there!

and YES this family is handsdown one the BIGGEST ROUGHRIDER fans EVER! You should have heard the chanting going on here before we made the magic leap!

Thank you guys for so much fun during your session!

I know that Wiliams parents are anxiously awaiting a sneak peek of the session! So here is a quick teaser of a few to tide them over until I get their gallery completed!

First of is a wonderful family from Sylvan Lake! You may remember them from a newborn session that I did back in March!  It’s always amazing to see children as they grow! I simply can NOT believe these are the same wee babies I met only a few short months ago!

Just a small peek for you guys.. I know you REALLY wanted a great portrait of all the kids together..

and as I was editing.. I just simply COULD NOT NOT post this one. Its too precious to not share with everyone!

And for the 2nd family, they are new to the Deanna Hall Photography Family, but I am very excited to have them! Enjoy your Peeks!

This wonderful young teen is magical.

The light for this session was truly magical.

The music this young woman plays and sings is magical.

A quick peek inside the magic.
