Patience is a Virtue (When photographing kids)

Getting 4 kids to sit still and smile for a picture can be challenging. It typically takes lots of patience and many many shots. This picture shows a some a small insight into what happens behind the scenes of that "perfect" picture.

My life.updates Summer 2017

I have not posted a blog in awhile but as I was on my way to workout today I thought it was time.  First off, my Zumba instructor is the best and am so happy I get to take her classes.  I belong to Desert Fitness in Gilbert AZ and Diana A is amazing.  Run to take her class, she will make you smile, sweat and feel like your dying but always feel amazing after.   Anyway, I am happy to be back!  Its another time of transition for me.  Kids are back in school and I was lucky enough to spend the summer with them.  Don't get me wrong, life with a six and ten year old isn't always easy but when it gets overwhelming, hard, too much, I was remember to slow down and take a GIANT breath.  Our summer was filled with activities, a summer guest, trips to California (and a 17 day road trip to Montana/Wyoming.  I will write a separate blog about that trip 😊) but here a couple images from our San Diego, Huntington Beach/LA trip in mid...

Kelly Dixon Photography and our family vacation

Since being laid off after being at my old company for almost 10 years, I have decided to stay home for awhile with Maya and concentrate more on my photography. My favorite subjects are my 2 kiddos. Devon is 4 years old and Maya is 4 1/2 mos old. I am always up for practicing my skills so let me know if you need your pictures taken.          Dixon Family Vacation: Yosemite 2011 In July we took the family to California for 9 days.  We had a great time visiting friends, family and the beautiful Yosemite Valley.

Christmas 2011

Another Christmas has come and gone. This one was special for us since it was Mayas 1st Christmas. Maya is now 8 1/2 months old and Devon is 4 1/2. Devon's favorite holiday (by far) is Christmas. He loves everything about it: the presents, the music, the holiday lights and yeah and presents (again). This year we tried to instill the "giving" part of the holiday and was very impressed with Devon. He (with a little encouragement) gave away a huge bag of toys. He gave them to a family with two boys (4 and 2). Hopefully it made thier Christmas much brighter. Here are a few of my favorite photos of Christmas: Brother and Sister on Christmas morning Maya's 1st Chistmas Devon on Christmas morning opening his presents from Santa The Dixon Family on Christmas day
