How cute is this baby…. seriously? He was a total ham! I’m photographing his parents’ wedding this Fall. This couple opted to use their free engagement photo session as a baby photo session. I traveled out to their home and got some great shots of the baby and the whole new family as well. I’m also excited to share that yesterday, here at Dias Photo, we shot our new promo video. We’re making an online commercial! Sheila, from Wedding Film Design was really great to work with. She made me feel comfortable, was very professional and inspired a lot of confidence.

Baby Boy Blue
July 7, 2008Pregmalion; What’s the Story?
July 3, 2008
Pregmalion is a re-creation of the work Pygmalion. A very famous and ancient Greek Myth, tells the story of a sculptor who falls in love with his sculpture. The sculpture then comes to life and turns to embrace him. The story was made into a play, an actual sculpture and also several paintings.
Tired of traditional pregnancy photos, my fiance and I decided to recreate this famous work and title it Pregmalion. (it was actually Teresa’s idea, I must give her credit) We contacted the amazing real-life, bronze sculptor Andrew DeVries. He was very welcoming, and allowed us to photograph in his studio. (He is truly an amazing artist. If you are interested in seeing more of his work click here.) We felt the metaphor was ripe for interpretation as both of us are artists, creating our new family. If you have any ideas you’d like to have photographed, give us a call. We’re always more than to happy to work on new projects and ideas.
Father’s Day Photos
June 12, 2008
Are Allie and Nick super cute or what?! Their Mom had me photograph them as a gift for Fathers Day. These photos were all taken right outside the house, not such a bad location. I love the first photo, I can totally see Allie being a great big sister : )

Baby Shower Invitations
May 17, 2008
My fiance/studio manager and I are having a west coast baby shower. This is my suggestion for the invitations. I was unsure if blogging personal work with our names on it was a little narcissistic. But hey, I figured it’s relevant : ) This was done in our living room, with the portable lighting studio…and yes, we make house calls. Hope you like it!
Babies Abound
May 2, 2008
I see pregnant women everywhere! Maybe it’s simply because we’re having a baby that I’ve noticed… that much more. This picture was taken recently and is of my beautiful fiance. It’s quickly becoming one of our recent favorites. I really enjoy the overexposure of the window and the lens flare that creates the slight greenish hue by her shoulder. I hope you like it!
Pregnancy Candids
April 27, 2008
This is a photo of a good friend of mine, Melissa, who is also a photographer; see her work here. This was taken at the end of a wedding reception, which we shot together. This was just a quick grab shot that I liked so I figured I’d share. Her belly is pretty big and she looked truly radiant.

This March I signed up to donate my photography services to Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep which is a non-profit organization that provides photography services to families who are losing a child. If you know of anyone who may need these services, you can reach them through Dias Photography or directly, via their website.
The Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Foundation (NILMDTS) administers a network of nearly 3,000 volunteer professional photographers in the United States and eight International countries. At a family’s request, a NILMDTS Affiliated Photographer will come to your hospital or hospice location and conduct a sensitive and private portrait session. The portraits are then professionally retouched and presented to the families on an archival DVD or CD that can be used to print portraits of their cherished baby.
Their entire network of affiliated professional photographers graciously donate their time and talents to families in need and are proud to be able to offer the services at no cost.Your donations are greatly needed and greatly appreciated. To make a donation click here.
