My Birthday Shoot!

12.29.2008

Awhile back, I shot pictures of Kristin to use for her promo stuff. We had fun! So for my birthday (December 20th) I asked her to take pictures of ME! I wanted to incorporate my vintage cameras with an Anthropologie kind of feel. (And thanks to a friend who works there, I got a few new outfits at 40% off!)

I love how they turned out! Here’s a few of my faves. The rest are on Kristin’s blog. My makeup/hair was done by my dear friends Amy and Melody. They made me a work of art!

I LOVE all of them but this one might be my fave!

Love, love, love my vintage cameras!!

I love the juxtaposition of the Bible and me with my camera. Perfect!

Thank you girls for making me feel so pretty and special on my birthday! One of my best ever! And thank you to everyone who left a comment for me on facebook and twitter! I’m so blessed

Love notes

"Dana Grant Photography is just AMAZING. Her work is unparalleled and pure genius. If you are looking for a photographer that can capture a moment and not just a pose, this is the photography studio you are looking for. The style is very "Vogue" quality and photojournalistic. She is magic behind the camera and a delight to work with as a person. You will just immediately fall in love. Dana Grant Photography is the WHOLE package and so much more. I highly recommend her for ALL of your photo needs."

Paris and David, July 2009

"Ummmm...I freaking love you. No really...like, can you move in and just make us look that adorable all the time? Dana!!! You are SOOOOOO crazy talented...it hurts my brain. This has made me feel like I am REALLY good at choosing stuff for my wedding."

Jaymi and Andy, December 2010

"I spent the most money on the thing that was very most important to me which was photography. That was more than half my budget. The rest was all my friends and family. (You can get anyone but I wanted the best.)"

Catie and Ben, March 2010

"Dana is not only an amazing photographer, she's also a phenomenal person. And we really did feel like we got a friend as part of the package. She truly is a beautiful person who happens to take equally beautiful pictures!"

Kristen and Chris, October 2009

"Dana is amazing! I wouldn't have wanted anyone else! I am so happy with how everything turned out! We've had the pleasure of being shot by her and being friends with her as well! She handles everything professionally but still manages to be fun. Anyone who hired her would be lucky to have her shooting their wedding!"

Heather and Grayson, April 2009

"Oh my word... we are in love with them! We were scrolling down the page and giggling with delight all the while. Steven just kept saying 'she NAILED it!' hahah. Seriously.. they are perfect... we love them... and we love you too! Thank you sooo much for capturing our day. It went by so fast for us... like a blur... and it's so nice to have amazing pictures that show us everything!"
