Dunn Apellate Law

2008-05-28T22:21:00.001-07:00

Today was a lot of fun, I got to work with the nicest people! Pam, Mayo, and Amy are all lawyers in Pasadena and needed some fresh shots for their website and marketing pieces. I had a great time getting to know the three of them today! They all had gorgeous eyes and amazing smiles, they made it really really easy on me! :) I can't wait to see the new site!

Ximena's Here!

2008-05-28T09:06:00.000-07:00

Congratulations Marlene & Jimmy on another gorgeous baby! We photographed adorable little Bennett two years ago and now he gets to be a big brother to Ximena. We had a great shoot with the whole family, including the doting grandmothers and Aunties. Thanks for all your help everyone! Here are a couple of my favorites!

Website Update

2008-05-22T19:40:00.000-07:00

The new and improved site is up with fresh images, content etc! I finally went through almost 3 years worth of sessions and pulled lots of fun stuff for the site. Sorry some of the content is still not there but I am rapidly working on it! I am sure there are some things that need work; typos, funky buttons, etc. Let me know if you guys notice anything that needs help! Thanks!!

Flintridge Family Chiropractic

2008-05-19T09:15:00.000-07:00

Congratulations to Rion Zimmerman on the opening of his practice Flintridge Family Chiropractic in La Canada, CA. We were lucky enough to be at the opening on Saturday and got some great shots of Rion doing adjustments on patients, family and friends. He was a huge help to me during my pregnancy with my son, he got my spine back in alignment which went out quite a bit towards the middle and end and fixed my biggest problem - a shifted rib!! Ouch!! These big baby boys can do a number on your body! The most amazing thing is that he even does adjustments and stretching on babies and kids. As you can see from the shots, one of his little patients got an adjustment and then wanted to return the favor!! So cute!

Great job on a beautiful space Rion, here's to a wonderful practice and many many happy years and happy patients!

New look

2008-05-15T08:33:00.000-07:00

Surprise, we have a new look to go with our new office, I will be posting some shots of it soon! We have finally consolidated spaces, our office is now in the same location as the shooting studio. We decided to do a little face lift of our logo and look to kick it all off! Here is the new logo, we would love any and all feedback, the website is also getting a much needed update - look for that in the next couple of days!

Slideshows In the blog!

Happy Mother's Day

2008-05-10T16:15:00.001-07:00

Happy Mother's Day tomorrow to all the amazing Mommies I have met throughout the years. I am so lucky to do what I do and to get to spend time with you and your little ones! Enjoy your big day Moms and make sure you spoil them Daddies, your day is right around the corner! :) Here's a shot of my little guy Jace who just celebrated his first birthday!

I try to post these when we get done with them and don't always remember! Here is Channing's announcement, designed in collaboration with her Mommie!

Nathan

2008-05-10T15:44:00.000-07:00

Nathan, his parents, and both sets of grandparents came to visit us today - so much fun! He was a little sleepy so we didn't get a ton of smiles but we had a blast! He was so curious and made the cutest sounds, I can't wait to see this handsome guy when he is older!

Mason - 9 mos.

2008-05-10T15:38:00.000-07:00

I have so many shots and posts of my niece Madeleine I thought I should dedicate one to my precious nephew Mason!

Urban Sessions

2008-04-23T22:37:00.001-07:00

Here are some fun shots from our up and coming urban sessions for kids and families! These fun and fashionable sessions are a great way to break away from the studio or the more traditional location settings of the beach or park - which we of course still love as well. These were shot in Old Town Pasadena. Thanks for the great shots Payton and Liam!

Ixora Florist

2008-04-20T07:30:00.000-07:00

Huge applause for Ixora Florist for an extraordinary wedding at the Langham Huntington Resort & Spa last night. Yes I said the Langham, for those of you in Southern California who are wondering where I am talking about and why you have never heard of it, here's the scoop, the Ritz Carlton Huntington in Pasadena is now the Langham Huntington - they sold late last year!! I know I can't believe it either, but nothing much has changed except the stationery, everything is still as it should be there; wonderful! Now back to the flowers - the florals for this event were incredible and everything was executed perfectly! The Ixora staff couldn't be nicer and of course Lisa & Craig Cardella are a dream to work with. Royal Events, Inc. created a magical environment for all of these gorgeous flowers to live in, with fabric for miles, custom linens, a custom bar - just incredible. I'm sure our bride and groom were thrilled!
Congratulations Paula & Hank!

Christopher's Announcement

2008-04-06T10:43:00.000-07:00

Callum Ronald

2008-04-06T09:14:00.000-07:00

I swear I haven't forgotten about you Callum, I am just very behind. I was looking back and realized how many sessions I haven't posted since the beginning of the year. I will work on it! This is Callum Ronald, Cat and Dan's second. I was lucky enough to be able do a session in their home to welcome him, along with one set of grandparents from back east and one all the way from Australia! Check out the fun collage of Callum and big sister Lily! These little guys are so loved!

Channing

2008-04-05T15:48:00.000-07:00

Dawson D.

2008-04-05T14:33:00.001-07:00

Nicole & Cornel

2008-04-04T22:09:00.001-07:00

Thank you Nicole and Cornel for including us in a wonderful day down in the desert! We don't get out there very much and enjoyed a gorgeous day and amazing people! Cornel and Nicole used black and red as their colors, we did what we could to shoot their details with the theme in mind!! Fun!! Here are some of our favorite shots!

Bizarro Family

2008-04-04T22:01:00.000-07:00

Sorry it has been so long, busy busy as usual, which is great don't get me wrong, but it isn't a blog friendly atmosphere!

Here is a fun image from a recent shoot of one of my favorite families of all time! They are so fun and creative and came in to celebrate the addition of Kieran to the Bizarro clan! A very soccer oriented family all lined up in their gear - Owen - 2 yrs, Kelly - 15 yrs, Billy - Dad, Amy - Mom, Kieran - 2 months. So just in case you hadn't noticed yet Amy - you are completed outnumbered now!!

Madeleine Emma

2008-03-08T21:10:00.000-08:00

Ok so I am totally biased because I am her Auntie, but is there anything sweeter than this? I just love this little angel, so full of life, curiosity, love, and mischief! We had a great time at the marina today. I wish these years would never end, I love you little one!!

Finnley Louise

2008-03-03T09:54:00.001-08:00

Two years later and they have done it again! Bernie and Kevin have produced another gorgeous baby...a girl this time! Liam is a big brother and is doing a great job. She was just as great a model as her brother and has an amazing announcement to kick off her new and exciting baby career!

Hudson William

2008-03-03T09:24:00.001-08:00

So about nine months ago I photographed this gorgeous couple on their wedding day and this weekend I got to meet the product of their honeymoon!! I love this job, how cute is that and cute is this baby! Here are a couple of shots from the wedding as well! :)

Justine & Scott

2008-03-03T09:09:00.000-08:00

We had rain, we had sun, and we had rainbows. I was lucky enough to join Justine and Scott for their wedding in La Canada last weekend, it was an amazing day. There is nothing like moody skies, we are just so grateful it didn't rain on the ceremony! Congratulations to a beautiful and sweet couple!

Hayden Joyce

2008-02-01T15:12:00.001-08:00

Kate and Nick welcomed Hayden Joyce into the world a few weeks ago and I was lucky enough to meet her when she was just 6 days old! A gorgeous little lady and sweetheart, just like her parents. Thank you so much for sharing her with us!

Christopher

2008-01-30T21:43:00.000-08:00

Congratulations Jennifer, John and Evan, he's here! I had a wonderful day at the Queen of the Valley Hospital visiting Christopher during his second day of life. I couldn't help but think so many times during the 2 hours I was there, "I can't believe this is my job and I am so lucky." What a wonderful little addition to their family and to the world. Welcome big man!

The Danisons

2007-12-23T11:15:00.000-08:00

This is my sister Camilla and her gorgeous family making their debut as a group onto the Diana Henderson Photography blog. We did a fun Christmas card with Madeleine and Mason this year, siblings are the best!! The Danisons are an amazing family that do soooo much for us. We are very grateful for Auntie Milla, Uncle Ron, and the cousins around here...more than they will ever know! Here's to amazing family and a wonderful New Year!

Taylor

2007-12-23T11:08:00.000-08:00

Sorry it's been so long since I posted guys, the baby, the holidays, and orders have kept me very very busy! We leave for Dallas in a few hours to visit the in-laws for Christmas and we are looking forward to it very much. This will be Jace's first Christmas so I will be sure to post some pics of that!

Here are some shots of our first session and our most recent, 6 months, with Taylor. She has a great personality and amazing parents. We are quite sure this little one will be an amazing athlete with a professional baseball player for a Daddie and a soccer playing Mommie!!

Happy Holidays!

2007-12-04T21:46:00.001-08:00

Happy Holidays everyone!!!

December is here, the holiday tunes are crankin' and have been for weeks. This is by far, my favorite time of year, this and the fall - family, apple cider, the smell of cinnamon, sweaters, jeans, soup, and holiday music - the perfect ingredients to the perfect day. Check out our first family holiday card, so much fun! In case you are just tuning in...this is Jace Rylin, our first and the love of our lives!

The Curry Family

2007-12-04T21:18:00.001-08:00

If you weren't feelin' the holiday season yet, this is sure to change that!! This shoot was a lot of fun, Lucas was a doll and very excited about his extra large ornament! It was hard to choose but I think the card turned out great guys! Merry Christmas!

Mission Inn

2007-12-04T20:51:00.000-08:00

This was a fun assignment...standing on the rooftop of the Riverside courthouse photographing the lighting festival and fireworks shot off the roof of the Mission Inn. These are going to be fun images for their brochures. If you haven't been out there to see this historic building, you HAVE to, it is incredible and this time of year makes it that much better. There is an outdoor ice skating rink and street vendors just outside the Inn, which I didn't get the chance to try out, but it looked like a blast! I can't wait to take Jace there in a couple of years.

Boat Day

2007-12-04T20:43:00.000-08:00

Yes, these are going to be the most photographed children in history!! :) We took Jace and his cousins Madeleine and Mason to Grandma & Grandpa's boat for the day. It was was a gorgeous day and the kids loved being on the water. Thanks for showing us the boat Papa and Maymay!

Matthew Alexander

2007-12-04T20:27:00.000-08:00

Three weeks early and cute as a button. This little guy was so cooperative and sweet to photograph, we had a great afternoon with Matthew! Congrats Mom and Dad, he's perfect, bring him back soon!

Hagopians

2007-12-02T22:11:00.000-08:00

Rita and Paul were so much fun, they both had these adorable infectious smiles and a great sense of humor! There is nothing like a session with a couple that feel like friends you have had for years just minutes after meeting them, this was a lot of fun! This baby girl is going to be too precious - we can't wait to see the smile on Olivia. She is due the day after Christmas, what a great present!!

The Chilson Family

2007-11-20T22:15:00.000-08:00

I didn't hire them I swear!! These are real people, really gorgeous people! I met the Chilson's before Lily was born and am so excited to see how much she has grown over the last year and to find out that she has a little brother on the way!! I can't wait to meet Calem in a few months!

Casey's 3!!!

2007-11-20T21:43:00.000-08:00

Sorry it's been so long guys, production and the baby have had me tied up!! There are more posts to come, I promise!! This is my 6th session with Casey...I think...and every one of them has been fantastic. I traveled up to this great park in Thousand Oaks for an amazing milestone, 3 years old, and got some great shots of Casey playing hard on the playground and celebrating with her family. What a great shot of four generations! I can't wait till she turns 4!

Madeleine Emma

2007-10-29T17:06:00.001-07:00

I have been lucky enough to be called "Auntie Didi" the past two years by this gorgeous little one...Madeleine Emma! As you can see, she is a vibrant, bright and wonderful little girl! We got together for our second annual pumpkin carving at Tom & Dawn's house this past Sunday, thanks guys! Oh and this is her adorable boyfriend Gage. What a handsome couple! :)

Jace

2007-10-27T20:27:00.001-07:00

I swear I could photograph this little guy everyday and still want more! Which is the way he feels about food...more, more, more!

Contessa Premium Foods

2007-10-27T19:29:00.000-07:00

Contessa Premium Foods has stepped up to the environmentally friendly plate in a big way, producing the first "Green" frozen food manufacturing plant in the world. Celebrity chefs Ming Tsai and Todd English brought their skills to feed the hungry guests and prepare remarkable cuisine! Sara Snow from Discovery was there to present and so was Alex McCloud from Trading Spaces. I loved being up on the scissor lift 50 feet in the air shooting down on the President and CEO of Contessa, John Blazevich. Cheers to a wonderful company with an incredible mission and thank you for including me in the opening of such a spectacular facility!

Jace Henderson

2007-10-26T20:59:00.001-07:00

Jamie & Jon

2007-10-26T20:33:00.000-07:00

Jamie and Jon were married at the Villa Del Sol D'Oro in Sierra Madre, California. It was an amazing day with a gorgeous couple and location. Thank you to all the vendors who added their creative touches to make this day incredible!
