Fun Storyboards!



I thought I would share some of the fun storyboards that I have been creating. These storyboards are from the family featured below. They are 10"x20" and will be used to decorate the children's bedrooms. Nothing could make a child feel more special than having artwork that is all about them -- especially when it's artwork that is decorating their personal space -- their bedrooms!

Fun Family!

Most moms have to drag dad kicking and screaming to have the family portrait made! This time it was dad's idea to have a family portrait! They were a great family! Lots of fun and willing to try anything! Loved it!!

Pictures Magazine


The new issue of the online magazine "Pictures" is now available. I am listed in the photographers' directory, listing some of the top children's photographers in the country! There are some great articles in the magazine that you will want to check out, too!
Here's some more info about the magazine -

"Pictures Magazine began with a passion for childhood--beautiful clothing, toys, books and especially photography--everything that is a part of creating and remembering happy childhood memories. It was our desire to create a resource for parents where they could stop for a moment and enjoy childhood, their children's as well as memories of their own. The summer 2006 issue was launched as a pilot. We were quite surprised at the response we received--everywhere from child-related company representatives such as Pottery Barn Kids to freelance writers to photographers to parents--they were all very positive. We learned that the need we perceived for a specialized childhood resource featuring beautiful photography was shared by many individuals from across the country. The fall issue was an even bigger success in terms of number of visitors, articles, the gradually growing national photographer listing, and the amount of positive feedback."

Let me know what you think!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!


Hope you're spending it with someone you love!

The "Real" Kayla & Kristin!


Some of you know my "assistants" Kayla and Kristin (also known as my daughters - they're offended by the word "helpers" for some reason.)
If you scroll to one of my first blog posts, you will see them looking beautiful and sophisticated in their recent "portraits". However, this image captures them at their silly best. Gotta love it!

Just thought this was cute!

CFPA Conference

I just returned from the Child & Family Photographers of America conference. Lucky for me, it was held down the road in Austin, Texas. My family lived in Austin for six years (in fact, both of my daughters were born there). We've been here in Cut-n-Shoot for seven years, so it was fun to go back for a visit. It had been awhile, although not much had changed!

The conference was incredible. I had the opportunity to take classes from some of the greatest child photographers in America. I brought home a notebook filled with my notes, plus bags and bags of materials. The coolest thing was that out of FIVE amazing photographers, all of whom specialize in children's photography, each one had a distinctly different approach to their businesses. I am fired up!! Be on the lookout for some fun changes to Deb Evans Photography as I start to adopt some of the cool things that I learned at the conference. You're gonna love it!!

My new favorite Two Year Old!

Okay, who am I kidding?! They're all my favorites! But, this little princess, Gianna, and her mommy, Yvette, recently invited me over for a photo playdate! We had so much fun! She's quite the little supermodel! (BTW, lots of candy was involved!)

















If you'd like to schedule your own Photo Playdate, let me know!
