Damion Dunlap Photography BLOG-SITE

Being a father of three myself, I love the little people.  Being able to capture those special stages in a child’s life, is what prompted me to get my first “real” camera.  As I look back through the images of my own little people, I realize how quickly they can change.  It seems like just yesterday my baby girl was being born and now she’s walking around, grabbing food off the table, and trying to climb everything within reach.  It is truly a joy to be able to photograph children in their element and see how something inside them lights up when the feel like they can let down their hair and just be themselves.

Honestly, I really love shooting weddings but I got my start doing portrait work.  It’s so funny, I think my lighting gear arrived at my house the day before my first shoot.  I had a vague absolutely no idea what I was doing at that point but the images came out pretty cool and I’ve tried to keep learning from there.  It’s nice to set up all the nifty studio equipment and try to create something special for someone.  I’ve had the opportunity to shoot everyone from aspiring actors and models, to media personalities, authors, engineers, poets, pastors, and even an elected official or two (my dad isn’t fond of the term politician for some reason).  I even threw in an image of my puppy (it’s a shot of his head so that counts) and your truly.

Ok, I’m way past due for updated portfolios and after finally making myself sit down and put it together, I was amazed at how many images that I really loved that hadn’t made it to my portfolio.  I don’t think anyone noticed but I got really annoyed with the way my old portfolio was viewed on the site a few weeks ago when I was making a few changes, that I completely pulled the thing from the site.  Fortunately for me at least, I made the time to get it back up.  Keep a look out for a few more portfolios in the coming days.  Enjoy!
