Well, Fall of 2010 has quickly come within sight. My most favorite time of year for photographing children and families at Stony Kill Farm.

This year is a special year at Stony Kill. As many of you may or may not know, Stony Kill faced closure by New York State this year but through diligence and hard work, it has been decided to keep the farm open for the public to enjoy.

The following is a press release announcing how I would like to help the Stony Kill Foundation maintain the beauty of the land and the programs it offers the public.

Press Release:

Beacon resident and photographer, Dawn Sela, would like to announce the donation and auction of a children’s photography session package to benefit the Stony Kill Foundation.

Dawn’s clients regularly travel from throughout the tristate area to experience the beauty of Stony Kill and conduct their annual photo session.

The package will include a full 2 hour photo session for the fall of 2010 at Stony Kill Farm for an immediate family  of siblings and parents.  The session must take place Fall of 2010 and there are no substitutions.

With the session the winning bid will receive:

a minimum of 40-50 creatively retouched portraits in an online gallery to choose from

one 40 image leather album complete with 40 5×7 portraits in an upscale, silk lined keepsake box

one cd of watermarked, web sized images for online sharing

Retail value is $1175 and the starting minimum bid will be $500.

Please show your support for Stony Kill Farm and visit www.dawnsela.com/blog for further details.

The auction will be running over labor day weekend, beginning Friday, September 3rd. The ENTIRE winning bid will be donated to the foundation for Stony Kill’s benefit.

The winning bidder will be announced on Tuesday, September 7th.

Yes, I’m on  a roll! Three blog posts in a week!  From a lovely family of five, long time clients, turned dear friends, and TONS of fun to be with! Dad baked my family cookies AND took some behind the scenes photos from our session that I will certainly be sharing very soon! Thank you:)
I’m very blessed to have your family in my life!

I’m here! Head over heels in deep but loving every minute of it! I have SO SO SO SO many beautiful families and children to share:) Let’s start with one from the late summer, and one from very recently and over the next few weeks, I’ll work my way through all of my fall sessions!

These are from time I spent in the Hamptons and Montauk the last week of summer. While I love the fall, summer is my favorite time of year and I wish I could just close my eyes and have one more pool day or day on the beach with my children and your children this year! Help me count down the days!

This was my second year with these cuties and their Mommy and Daddy….I just LOVE them…adorable and fun to be with:) Last year was a fall session, this year we did Summer Fun! Enjoy:) How many days of summer are left??? nevermind…I DO NOT want to know!

Here is a sneak peek at an extra special session that had both Gigi’s/Nana’s able to be part of the celebration! I would love to have them at all of my sessions as the two extra pairs of motherly hands were definitely a blessing! Sloane…I really look forward to your first year! Jack you are certainly blessed with two beautiful ladies in your life;) And Daisy, I feel like we are old friends from another life and I’m truly blessed to have you find me!
