NOW SCHEDULING SPRING/SUMMER SESSIONS / PITTSBURGH PENNSYLVANIA CHILD PHOTOGRAHPHER

This is just a quick note to let all of you know that I only have a few dates left for sessions between now and June. If you would like to schedule a spring session in April or May, please visit my website www.merritd.com, and send me and email with a few dates that you have in mind. I'll get back to you ASAP with my availability. Since my schedule is filling up faster than anticipated, I'm also booking sessions for June, July, and August. I apologize if I'm not able to accommodate everyone, but I can not compromise the quality and process of my work in order to add more sessions. I've also started a wait list for March sessions if you'd like to be added. Thank you for your patience as merrit d. p h o t g r a p h y continues to grow.

Can you believe this BOY is only 16??? He's a knockout and destined to be great at many forms of art. Mr. R you made my job a breeze this day. Thank YOU!

This was my first time photographing inside an urban building...and man have I been missing out! My heart lies in the country and the calm serene backdrop it provides, but the character and history in the building I shot this session in was mind-blowing! BIG THANK YOU to my friend Jeff Swensen. Check out his work here . He's an AMAZING photojournalist that travels worldwide capturing the raw truth of the world and its inhabits. I shot in his studio and made a new friend Alex Jones while there. Another true talent and artist of many mediums. If you're a photog and are in need of an AWESOME studio or lighting set-up, then Alex is your man. His studio is HUGE and full of character that Alex preserved from the history of the building and added with his own two hands. Be well my friends, and THank YOU!

a Glimpse / PITTSBURGH PENNSYLVANIA PHOTOGRAPHER

That's what I got! A glimpse into his world this day. HIS first glimpse of the new year's snow left him speechless. His eyes all a gaze and heart melting. Ah, I'm so in love with this little soul. Light surrounds me when I'm with him, when I see his world. Take a moment today, tomorrow, everyday, and be still for a moment and let the light surround YOU. May it come from a child, a friend, lover, or stranger.
... oh, and Finn says to make lots of snow angels too :)

New Years Resolution # ? / PITTSBURGH PENNSYLVANIA PHOTOGRAPHER

I leave the big question mark in the title as I have MANY resolutions for this spectacular year ahead, and they are much more important than this one. Although, if you were to look in on my life right now, you would think that learning to knit was #1. I'm determined to learn all I can about knitting. I'm obsessed! Just as I feel the desire to learn to make some of the simplest things in life like bread, soap, lip gloss, deodorant, the list goes on. I feel the desire to learn all I can about knitting. There's something about making and creating simple objects that we use or consume every day. I must say it's humbling and very rewarding.

Well, this is my first knitting project. Not sure what it is or what it's going to be, but I'm just so pleased that I've learned the basics so far and thought I would share with you. Happy New Year to everyone! I hope you're all eager to learn something new this year. Whether it be a new craft, a new recipe, or getting to know your child better, please indulge yourself and become aware of something other than you.

Oh, I forgot to mention...
the picture on the far right is Finn's display of my knitting. He stopped playing with his trains and decided that my display for the picture was lacking, so he spruced it up on one of his vintage chairs and told me to "take picture."



Totally brightened my day!
