Piper Dellan Photography

Wow, I know that it’s been a long time since I have regularly updated my blog, but I am determined to get back to it and write more often, “I think I can, I think I can….”. The benefit for me is that it will encourage me to be more adventurous, so that I’ll have something exciting to write about (as though raising 6 kids isn’t exciting enough!)

The winter was long…..and cold…..as they generally are here in Wisconsin, and I was blessed to be able to spend the days with my husband and children, taking a break from photography for a time. Though I’ll tell you, there were times I was just itching to get behind the camera, I really fully enjoyed the time spent with my family, and away from the computer (a photography business seems to be 1 part getting out there and taking pictures and 9 parts desk work, who would have thought, right?).

I am glad to be back at it though and so happy to have the camera back in my hands.  Recently, I had a bit of fun with our pet box turtle, Berry. He was generally amicable and is quite the handsome little reptile.

Here he is, letting me know what he thinks of getting his picture taken….(I had a Chicken Run moment when seeing this shot…”Those chickens are up to something, their organized.” Hmmm, I think turtles might have a few tricks up their sleeves too.)

Then I took him for some outdoor fun and unfortunately I don’t think he could handle the distractions. He was more interested in getting away as quickly as his little legs would carry him and burrowing into the leaves. I did manage to get a shot of him before he dipped under….

And just for thrills I took a few self portraits too (you would think I’d have more willing subjects in a family this size, wouldn’t you?) Here’s one of my favorites….
